There is a separate RTL8188EU-aml package for Amlogic devices, so I have never used the RTL8188EU made by lwfinger in my images.

For example, for the options file for S805 project looks like this: https://github.com/dtechsrv/Libre…05/options#L118

However, this has been a topic here before (#337), but since it is quite difficult to trace back where was published the source code you used, I don't know what you guys actually included earlier.

Interesting, although this RTL8188EU-aml driver is years older than the aircrack-ng one (not that this proves it is a better/worse driver, but the aircrack-ng one seems to be working really well for me so far)

The faulty lwfinger driver was defined here: https://github.com/dtechsrv/LibreELEC-AML/blob/master/packages/linux-drivers/RTL8188EU/package.mk . Perhaps you could update this, as it appears to be your repo after all?

The lwfinger driver is probably EOL anyway, as its author has sadly passed (RIP) - RIP to Larry Finger · Issue #458 · lwfinger/rtl8188eu

Thanks!!

Hi all

I've discovered that the WiFi driver we've been using for these builds (lwfinger/rtl8188eu) is causing serious instability with this media box. When streaming over WiFi, the media player is prone to lock-up / freeze. Further inspection of the kernel crash logs revealed that it was this wifi module causing the crashes...

So I switched to another driver instead (aircrack-ng/rtl8188eus), and now the WiFi seems not only more stable, but also faster (my speeds more than doubled)! But most importantly, the system no longer freezes up.

To swap the driver, simply change PKG_VERSION, PKG_SHA256, PKG_SITE and PKG_URL in packages/linux-drivers/RTL8188EU/package.mk as follows:

PKG_VERSION="00b0e77e705decd2d0b633dfff7a23ce1fb9399c"
PKG_SHA256="2de882d5bda036d0b0aaf68bbefe9b42c776921bbfe2af0c8fab94e9abe9f195"


PKG_SITE="https://github.com/fragtion/rtl8188eus"
PKG_URL="https://github.com/fragtion/rtl8188eus/archive/$PKG_VERSION.tar.gz"

I've built LibreELEC-Amlogic_MX2.arm-9.2.8.16 with the aircrack-ng driver, as well as dtech's ADDON_SERVER_URL for binary repository support. You can download it here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/…8V6bxBFeQe41lDk

If your MX2's remote isn't working, download remote.conf to /storage/.config/remote.conf, and then execute the following command via ssh: remotecfg /storage/.config/remote.conf

Any hope for MX2/G18REF (AML8726-MX) support here? It's an older platform but would be nice to give it some new life

Existing development was at [9.0.0] LibreELEC builds for MX2/G18 - Page 20 - Amlogic - LibreELEC Forum

Thank you for the updated instructions. Now the uboot patching worked!

LibreELEC-AML 9.2.8.8 (built 2nd March 2023) update for the Matricom G-Box MX/MX2 (AML8276-MX HD18 board)

Thanks for your work. Unfortunately after applying this update using the .update folder method, my g18ref reboots into recovery.

I was using the latest 9.0 devel, but the same thing happens when updating from LibreELEC-Amlogic_MX2.arm-8.0.2-update.zip

The same thing also happens when following post #341 of reloading matricom_g18_1.2.zip, updating uboot, and loading LibreELEC-Amlogic_MX2.arm-7.95.3.zip, before updating to LibreELEC-Amlogic_MX2.arm-9.2.8.8-20230802.tar

LibreELEC-Amlogic_MX2.arm-9.2.8.8-20230802.tar Doesn't seem to work for me. It extracts and installs fine, but wont boot into LibreElec, only recovery. Any ideas?

I got it to boot by replacing KERNEL and KERNEL.md5 with ones from LibreELEC-Amlogic_MX2.arm-9.0-devel-20190424160004-aca1ab5.tar, but would prefer to use your kernel if possible

I installed 8.0.2 over 7.95. Everything seems to work fine, apart from the fact that I can't seem to change display resolution (Settings -> System -> Display). The Resolution and Refresh Rate options are greyed out, and report 1280x720p / 60.00 , respectively. I'd like to change that to 1920x1080p. How ? Surely I don't need to first load 8.0.0 and then upgrade to 8.0.2 ? Where is the resolution data stored? I'd like to try force it? Edit: This solved my problem Can't change resolution - WeTek Community Forum - I guess EDID is not working on my monitor, cable, or the device.. weird
