i think it is nthing to be rethniked about lack of S2x as bad msg, zero support also in Enigma2 S2X boxes, only sat platform stb have those DONE

which CoreElec to try on S905D m8s plus-dvbs2x, only NE build i think have that kernel but this device is 1st gen S905D and builds suported egsists in NG which has 4.9 kernel

i have selected "meson-gxl-s905d-p231.dtb" -- m8s-plus-dvbs is not included in LibreELEC-AMLGX.aarch64-11.80.0

in frontends:

some informations anyone could find in kernel from today, https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/drivers/media

CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_M88RS6000T - Driver for the internal tuner of Montage M88RS6000

m88ds3103.c m88ds3103.h mb86a16_priv.h - Montage Technology M88DS3103/M88RS6000 demodulator driver

m88rs6000t.c m88rs6000t.h - Driver for the internal tuner of Montage M88RS6000

mb86a16_priv.h :

#define M88DS3103B_FIRMWARE "dvb-demod-m88ds3103b.fw" i contributed to this driver some inf from diffrent kernels runing on device h - h - h
#define M88DS3103_FIRMWARE "dvb-demod-m88ds3103.fw"
#define M88RS6000_FIRMWARE "dvb-demod-m88rs6000.fw"

this is S2x so new family probably should be separeted for easy enablment group of this devices when new incomers income to tree

so for proper including this demodulator adding new single files for support like in CoreElec-NE to Linux AMLogic 4.9 (CoreELec-NG) if possible should be enought for now but if LE AMLogic kernel sometime aquaire Meson DVB it will be also nice

https://github.com/CoreELEC/CoreELEC/pull/327 Amlogic-ne: enable DVB drivers #327

https://github.com/CoreELEC/CoreELEC/pull/343 Add TBS 5930 config + update dvb-firmware #343

This 2 PR in Corelec NE (5.4 kernel) enabled some "TBS" usb DVB adapters but i think in wrong way (manually edited instead menuconfig) "CONFIG_DVB_M88RS6060=m" is added in " # DVB-T (terrestrial) frontends" Section

im ask for support " mecool m8s plus dvb-s2x " internal tuner possible support in Libreelec amlogic,

Corelec for that device is in "NG" (with 4.9 kernel) but in "NE" is only that module enabled

and probably in 4.9 kernel is not possible to enable that module for "m88rs6060" demodulator,

so basically on that device we must wait for kerenel upgrade to 5.4... in Corelec-ng which support S905Dv1

or wait for Libreelec to support that internal tuners

MUCH EXPECTED IS SUPPORT IN LIBREELEC WITH RECENT KERNELS (FOR S2x) BECAUSE S2X EXTENSIONS STACK IN DVBV5 IS MORE UPDATED IN RECENT KERNELS AND STILL PROGRESSING

dvb-s2 in that device is missing currently because in (Amlogic-ng.arm) is not enabled (in 4.9 kernel if exist) neccesary module and aml part with dvb support probably, i can test Libreelec on that device but from which build send logs? official nightly or some custom?

chewitt M88RS6060 is very popular chip updated for S2X and in may opinion stable and signal sensitive tuner chip, i also have one on mecool-m8s-dvb-s2x, alexelec builds have most complex releases for that device (based on kernel amlogic 3.xx ) with driver implementaion lacking s2x extensions because standard linux kernel also today (6.7) have incomplete support for S2X DVB API ... and i think it is not technical problem to enable it, thru blocker is milions stboxes with s2 only ...

plugin dependicies:

missing package "expect" //libreelec 11<br>

already included deps: bluetoothctl, pacmd, pactl, awk //libreelec 11<br>

also util "btmgmt" from package bluez-tools and firmware will be missing on some board where MAC BT adrees change is neccesary for hci0 to be accesible<br> by change in blueetoth.service like here<br>

pasink - Pulse-audio sink-setter with bluez and combined sink support

Hi . Anyone tray this ? this thing today like boomerang incoming to my head ...

Hi ... For LaFrite 512MB and probably for 1GB this CMA value should be not 128MB but 160MB i am also checked 192MB but Kodi GUI not starting. But I don't know if this will be changed in Libreelec repo statically in kernel config other sbc/box-es will start normally (especially 512MB) ,

by now solution is to append in extlinux.conf at the end kernel boot parametr line additional parametr "cma=160M"

this must be set to proper hardware decoding and acceleration by drm_prime...

I can confirm now , avc1/h264 up to 1080p works on LaFrite 512MB with hardware acceleration..

Hi this is "amremote" version config for "Abox2" or "TAP1" ("Beelink MXIII II" clone but with different RCU). amremote input works faster in my opinion, standard Meson config for this remote is already in this repository (ABox2).

remote.conf.txt

don't use crazycat TBS driver for that device, it is know bug for some transponders, if you use libreelec x86_64 you must upgrade to latest nightly //where kernel have support included

from Index of /

LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-9.80-nightly-20201010-45d6ccb.tar copy to /storage/.update/

and copy firmware dvb-demod-m88ds3103b to /storage/.config/firmware/

reboot

Geniatech Mygica HDStar DVB-S2 USB HD not working

your device is probably not listed yet in linuxtv wiki version 3103B of Geniatech HD Star DVB-S2 USB2.0 - LinuxTVWiki

this group of devices from 2018 > like cinergy s2 , s4600 and some others too have already proper support in current kernel , maybe for only this one support was not merged to dw2102 or dvbsky modules

download firmware from here dvb-demod-m88ds3103.fw

rename from dvb-demod-m88ds3103.fw to dvb-demod-m88ds3103b.fw and copy to /lib/firmware

this works on current kernels...

firmware version 3.B as you reports is exactly for 3103b versions so you don't need experiments with various kernel branches , install some stable kernel 5.7 or never , rpi kernel is always outdated comparing to what x86_64 Libreelec have...

for x86 install Debian 11 bullseye whith kernel 5.8.10, changes from Brad media_build firstly was merged to 5.7-rc1 but this changes was about support "3103b" chip

ARM Mali GPU - openSUSE Wiki

For ARM related support in Open Source exist :

"Lima" for mali-400 and mali-450 soc gpu's aka Utgard gpu's

and

"Panfrost" for both Bifrost and Midgard Mali GPU: Mali-Gxx GPU and Mali-T6xx / Mali-T7xx / Mali-T8xx GPU

LibreELEC is focused on that drivers not on ARM Corp. versions like mali- utgard,midgard,bifrost

and Ciolabora now writing panfrost code with ARM developers for upstream Linux
