There is wifi but when i stop the video everything freezes.

The implementation of the Widevine CDM patch in version 9.2.7 is buggy.

Since then, there is another solution to it that has no stability issues, but no official release (9.2.8) has come out yet.

If v0.5.6 is released from the inputstreamhelper, I will also release LE 9.2.8 images for supported devices, regardless of whether the LE team is officially making the fixed version of the 9.2 branch or not.

Please tell me. How i can get temp CPU? I don't see. Always 0

Please try this:

cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp

You see the value in degrees Celsius. If you only see the temperature value without any additional numbers (eg. '57'), you need to modify the cputemp script. If that's really the case, please let me know.

One question - for amlogic s812 do not image LE 10 in future? Or this platform will remain on LE 9?

I don't dare say that for sure yet.

Can I use mxiii plus kernel + img firmware?

It is suitable for S89,

By the way, some of the strange phenomena I tested

In the case of Android, S89 can be replaced by boot.img file of mxiii plus, which is suitable for Android 5.1.1 system. Wired network, wireless network and Bluetooth are all normal

In the case of Le, if SD card writes the M8 firmware provided by you, DTB and kernel of mxiii plus can also start le to enter Kodi, but cable network cannot use it

This is a bit incomprehensible. Android and LibreELEC image components are not interchangeable between each other.

I tried to find it, but could not find a previous LibreELEC image that would be compatible with the S89 and have a working Ethernet.

If you know one, please send me a link. Unfortunately, I don’t know what to do with Android images, it doesn't help at all.

I tested the above alternative today

Failed

Unfortunately, I have no further idea.

Another approach:

I made two kernel images with the right dtb, please follow my description.

First, use this image again for prepare the SD card:

LibreELEC-MXIII-1G.arm-9.2.7.img.gz

Then download this, extract and overwrite the files on the card with these (kernel.img, kernel.img.md5, dtb.img):

LibreELEC-M8.arm-9.2.7-kernel.img+dtb.tar.gz

Then boot your box from this SD card and test the Ethernet.

If Ethernet still doesn't work, try this:

LibreELEC-S82.arm-9.2.7-kernel.img+dtb.tar.gz

Can you add S89 cable network card IC + ip101gr 10 / 100 Ethernet driver to n200-ap6330_ 2G inside the support, to achieve S89 start normal, Ethernet normal

It is already supported: LibreELEC-AML/linux.arm.conf at a292f0ec2ac492266937dadd349d90e47106e772 · dtechsrv/LibreELEC-AML · GitHub

I have realized in a circle that replacing the DTB does not solve anything because the 3.10 kernel does not deal with external DTBs.

I'm trying to find another solution...

Hi again, thanks for your suggestion! I tried 9.2.6 but the same thing happens... Installation -> Reboot -> splash screen -> black (but with mouse cursor)

Unfortunately, no one from the X8-H Plus image has ever indicated that it works.

TheBronx tested my M8S+ image on an X8-H Plus (#50), but by the time I was done with the X8-H Plus image, unfortunately, he had given up, so I never knew if it would work or not. It seems to be not working at all.

The only feedback I got was from a plain X8H from Blackomega35, which works even if it only has an S802 SoC in it.

Please try my M8S+ image on an SD card, because that image uses a modified initramfs.

The remote control, wifi and a few little things (like temperature) won’t work, but if it boot, we're already ahead.

But DTB, I can't understand, so I can't solve it by myself. I hope you can help me adapt it!

Okay, I found something that will hopefully be useful.

The Tronsmart Vega S89 device (it doesn't matter if it's Elite or Standard) is based on a Meson8 reference board type "k200" layout.

First, use this image to create the SD card:

LibreELEC-MXIII-1G.arm-9.2.7.img.gz

I found two devices with the same type, you should try this first:

meson8_k200_m8_2G.dtb

The downloaded file must be renamed to "dtb.img" and the existing one must be overwritten on the SD card.

Then try booting from SD card and check Ethernet connection.

If Ethernet still doesn't work with the first dtb file, you need to try this one:

meson8_k200_s82_2G.dtb

Logs here: log-2021-06-13-09.25.38.zip

Have you tried the v9.2.6 image yet? Please give it a try because I have a suspicion that the v9.2.7 image for the X8H-Plus is corrupted.

You can find the older image in the archive directory: Index of /3rdParty/S8X2/X8-H_Plus-S812_2G-AP6335e/ARCHIVE/. (Link fixed.)

Hello,

Does the Beelink MINI MXIII II 2 GB/16 GB work for the LE-9.2.7 build from s905x devices? Thanks!

Your device should work with the "MXQ-4K-Pro_2G" image without any modifications: Index of /S905/.

Quote from yibaogang

But DTB, I can't understand, so I can't solve it by myself. I hope you can help me adapt it!

I will compare the two DTBs because the Tronsmart S89 also uses IC+ IP101GR 10/100 Ethernet transceiver and the kernel already supports it.

Quote from CrazyAlexNT

Good afternoon, if there is an opportunity, tell me where you can find the latest LIBREELEC firmware for Mini M8S pro, some time ago I was able to install the old version, now I can not find anything.

I'm sorry, but I don't have any S912 device, so I can't afford to support it yet.

Quote from yibaogang

Can it be the problem of NTP? The time NTP we use in China is ntp1.ailiyun.com

My model is the same as the tronsmart Vega S89

No, NTP certainly does not cause the error. I would need the original dtb from Android.

Quote from RobzInadE

This time, it seems to connect to my network, since my router picks it up and gives it an IP. However, when SSHing to the box, I get "Connection Refused".

Unfortunately, SSH will not work before setting up the installation wizard. Try accessing the "Logfiles" share via Samba instead.

I started a conversation between us, please read it, because I'm waiting for your test. (Conversations)

Thank you.

Then restart, unable to enter Kodi

Are you absolutely sure that you have an S802 SoC in your device and not an S812?

Please try this one: Index of /3rdParty/S8X2/Universal-n200-S812_2G-AP6330/

This is a universal build for multiple n200-based S812 devices with 2GB of RAM.

Quote from yibaogang

I am a player from China, my English is not good, basically rely on translation!

I have a Chinese made Yingchi gal-x2159 AML S802 with 2 + 8 100m network card, 2.4G + 5.8G + Bluetooth 4.0

Your libreelec-m8s-plus.arm-9.2.7.img.gz on SD brush can be fully activated,

But the wired network cannot be used, and the IP obtained is 169.254.xxx.xxx

Can I add support in the next version!, thank you very much indeed

For the S802 SoC, the KII dtb is definitely not good.

You need to try this image first:

MXIII (S802, 1GB RAM, 10/100 Mbps LAN, AP6330 WiFi):
Index of /3rdParty/S8X2/MXIII-S802_1G-AP6330/

Quote from elecplay

Hope that gives you some more clues, dtech.

Well, I'm more clueless right now than I used to be.

Quote from elecplay

Let me know if you need anything else from me, dtech!

Okay, this is really an AP6210, interesting.

Could you also send a dmesg from my 9.2.6 build? I wonder where it gets stuck.

Quote from jim_p

Can I use that too on my mxqpro 4k (device tree gxb_p200_1g)?

Omg, I feel like Obelix asking for a sip of the magic potion

Dear Obelix,

You can use it, but the signal strength of your wifi won't get better.

However, if we are already here... With kszaq's 8.2.3, what was the signal strength of your wifi? Better or similarly bad?

The question also applies to the S905 and S805, of course only if you have tested with this version before. If not, consider it irrelevant.

Gammeto

The new 9.2.7 image is ready for the test: LibreELEC-MXQ-4K-Pro_2G.arm-9.2.7.img.gz

Please use the previously linked dtb and remote.conf for this image.

Quote from elecplay

Thanks for the new MXQ-S805 build, dtech!

Unfortunately, bluetooth still doesn't work with this build on the MK808B+. Any other ideas?

Okay, I need a dmesg under 8.2.3 because now I'm not sure you have an AP6210 in your device.

And then, one more thing ...

cat /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/vendor
cat /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/device

Quote from Gammeto

This is really true now the remote is working, thank you dtech

Will you make a device tree for RTL8723BS wi-fi ?

The reason for the non-working wifi is not the dtb, because this driver is basically missing from the image.

I will include it in the next release (9.2.7), but it’s a good question when I can make it, because I should solve the Widewine issue before I release it for S905.
