chewitt Could you recommend any image and dtb file for my TV box? I haven't followed the developments for quite some years and would like to give it another try.

My box is an A95x F3 air which has an S905x3 , LED clock display, RGB lights and MT7668 wifi chip.

If the driver isn't included in upstream is it possible to manually compile it and how?
I found the following links related to the driver:

https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-…7663.driver.zip

This guy figured out how to compile the driver for a recent kernel. Can anyone explain what he did?

Kodi starts. Was able to play back several sample clips.

Network shares are a PITA to set up with this MAC issue, so I didn't go very far beyond that.

Many visible display glitches. Not usable for prime time yet, but looks very promising.

What MAC issue do you have?

I personally have noticed that my device is getting a non native mac address starting with 02:******. Are you experiencing this also?

What is the last kernel version where this doesn't happen?

For my particular TV the images have the same problem as the armbian images.

The HDMI is buggy. It switches to the unsupported mode 1080p@30 where the screen flickers like crazy. It also takes over ALL HDMI input modes on my AVR. I posted about this in the armbian forum. (pioneer 50 inch plasma + s905x3 TV box)

How about something like Wayland or Sway?

beginner question: Is it not possible to run 32bit only apps like widevine in a 64bit userspace?

I think most desktop operating systems (Windows, Mac, Linux) allowed to have a dual 64/32bit userspace.

The drivers and firmware for the MT7668 chipset are already in the upstream kernel so should be simple to include. That's only half of the solution though, and I'm not sure what device-tree changes are needed to init the card. It would be useful to see the Android device-tree file.

Hello again chewitt. Since I spoke to you last you wanted me to test Balbes' image. Unfortunately I am not sure which exact image of his to test.

I only see his source code.. Any link to the finished images?

I've downloaded it and will have a look in the next couple of days.

Have you had a chance to look at it yet?

Sorry for the ignorance, but why exactly can you not launch applications from within LE on arm based systems?

Is there no x11 in this JeOS or is something else missing?

How does Kodi/LE frontend launch?

My boxes have arrived. If you need any further information or testing to be done please let me know.

I ordered some A95x F3 boxes. The dtb file is also of an a95x f3 that I asked someone to dump on another forum.

If the file Is not properly dumped I will be happy to also dump the file from one of my boxes when they arrive.

Can anything be deduced from the dtb file? I could only upload it as a zip file. Was it packed correctly?

As you wish chewitt. Is this .dtb file useful to you?

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello everybody,

I have ordered some boxes that use the mt7668 WiFi chip alongside the s905x3 cpu.

Is there any way to make the WiFi chip work? Is it maybe possible to email mediatek about a driver? Maybe a project like openwrt has got a driver?
