    There is no 'nand' version.

    Download the S905 .img.gz file and gxl_p212_2g.dtb, extract the .img.gz and burn it to a USB flash drive with Rufus, rename the dtb to dtb.img and copy it to the root directory of the newly burned USB drive.

    Put the USB drive in your box and cycle the power, when LibreELEC boots and you are in the setup stages make sure to enable SSH and finally locate your system IP in system info.

    Download putty on your computer and SSH to the box IP, login with root/libreelec and then type 'installtointernal'

    As warez says you may have to run installtointernal twice as sometimes there can be corruption and that is certainly my experience as well.

    Not sure why you choose to use adamg's build while the Raybuntu's build is more suitable for the Odroid-C2, No dtb is needed, just download the img.gz and write to the SD card with Win32image or Rufus. That's it. I've been using Raybuntu's build for TVHeadEnd server for a long while.

    I'm not sure either, none of my builds will work on the C2, u-boot is not part of the S905 image, it's mainly for Chinese boxes but will work with Wetek with the correct DTB.

    LE7 is really old now, can you not update?

    The dts is built with the kernel, if you 'cd' to the kernel directory you should be able to compile with 'make xxx.dtb'

    You can build the service with 'scripts/create_addon fd628'

    fd628-aml in packages/linux-drivers/amlogic/fd628-aml is the kernel driver package needed

    fd628 in packages/addons/service/fd628 is the addon service needed

    The name is X92.
    No, I can't confirm, because I don't have aml_fd628 driver in my s912 (8.90.2) build to check. That's why I ask you to include this driver in the next build or test build.

    This settings were imported from anpaza driver code for X92 device, and looks like they must work with this driver.

    Looks like they have just different gpio settings and extra icons

    Ok I will do you a test build and compile the dtb but it won't be ready until later today, if the icons are labeled differently then the service may not work but you should get the time displayed at the very least.

    All I wanted was just a TV box!

    I didn't even know about openelec or libreelec before I bought KII Pro.

    The only reason I'm using libreelec is the tvheadend server.

    This discussion doesn't seem to going end but I'll stop here

    Thanks for all your efforts.

    To be fair a few years ago, the only thing that came close was a dreambox which would cost you a lot more so you got a deal either way :)

    Yeah, the code has a lot of junk, but I didn't want to touch it too much.

    The fd628_dot_bits will probably just work out of the box for all boxes, but I added this property just in case.

    The values in fd628_chars are set up to work with my box, but I hope it shouldn't be too difficult to configure them for other boxes. Each number represents the 'index' of the respective character on the display.

    So for my box index 0 is the 'dots' character, 1 - the hour x10, 2 - the hours, etc.

    For other boxes the order of these indexes will have to be different if they are wired differently internally.

    Can you make a dts with the original values for the TX3 mini and use the GPIO settings here gxl_p212_2g_tx3mini.dts so I can test it on the TX3 mini, if you want your modified DTB to be included in all future builds send me a copy of it with the fd628_chars specified in it as well, thanks.

    I will be doing 8.90.3 a little earlier than I expected so it would be nice to try and squeeze this in if it works well.

    Edit: I've tested your changes along with an updated dtb for my device and they all work, so just send me your DTS, also make sure you install the fd628 service via addons if you want the extra icons lit up :)

    When you have time, please take a look at this:

    GitHub - arthur-liberman/tx3mini_linux_fd628

    (sorry for the mess with commits and merges, I'm still a bit new to github)

    I added a sample.dts to show the new device tree properties.


    That's great, it looks similar to how anpaza is doing it in his vfd driver, I think we could use this to expand support to more devices with the display.

    The whole driver needs cleaning up and beautifying really.

    Where are you getting the values for fd628_chars and fd628_dot_bits?


    Problem was firmware, it will not be fixed until 8.90.3 which will not be released until the end of the month, I can provide a dev version until then.

    What if one needs DVB-S2? None of these boards have DVB-S2 tuner.
    Odroid C2 $60 + USB DVB-S2 tuner around $100 versus something like KII Pro for $70 ?

    That's untrue, the KVIM has a DVB-S2 board, are you really going to squabble over $30? that's pocket change to most people.

    If you would prefer to choose something flimsy over something quality for the sake of a few $$ then that is your prerogative but going forward none of 'us' developers want to support these Chinese boards any longer, it's too troublesome... just look at how many DTB's there is and none of these manufacturers have worked with us or provided us their kernel source to support these devices.

    The 9.0 ones only work with the LE/amlogic kernel which I do not use, you must use the ones from the 8.2 folder for these builds, it does state that in the README on the downloads.

    DTB's are very specific to the kernel in use and they must match for your device to boot.
