Thank you very match, this works great in my K1 plus (I use it with the latest tvheadend compiled from git).
What do you mean by "multiboot support" please ? we can put a menu to choise between internal Android and LE from SD ?

Multiboot means the power button has menu with 'Reboot' and 'Reboot from NAND'.

Thanks for your work.

I tried this image with stock dtb.img. It boots successfully with wifi support.

But bluetooth is not detected though.

As for internal tuner, I can see and scan dvb-t2 on tvheadend backend. (Actually scanning will fail, but I copy config files from other system and then go to enable kii's dvb-t2 tuner via web interface, so that all tv channels appear as it should.)

But the problem is the video stream got distorted almost all the time. It likes when you get weak signal. This never happen with other tvheadend backen system that I have in the same room.

Is it just me or anyone else has problem like this too?

In my box signal strength is 72%-74% and SNR 68%-70% depends on transponder. Both levels are in green (GOOD).
Signal level u can check by pressing mouse button on RC.

LibreELEC-Amlogic.aarch64-KII_Pro-7.0.2.004.img - SDcard KII Pro version with fixed wifi adapter. I tested it only with KIII.

If I use your dtb in my KII Pro, either stock or k2pro.dtb - I get stuck on the amlogic logo. If I remove the dtb file, it will boot to LE, but wifi doesn't work. (See the dmesg excerpt below)

Any thoughts on how to address this? I was thinking of copying the BCM4335 firmware, nvram and config files to the /system/etc/firmware/ path - but is there even a /system path in LE??

As an FYI, my KII Pro is a custom build for testing dual internal ATSC tuners - so I will have to do some work to get the dual tuners to show up...but is the ATSC hardware part of your build? Should be using similar hardware to what was in the KI Plus ATSC version.

Thanks for your thoughts!

I had the same problem in old kernel with KIII tv box with same wifi module Ampack 6335. DHD module wasn't able select correct fw. I fixed if with fixed configuration. Instead of nvram.txt I used nvram_bcm4335.txt and fw_bcm4335b0_ag.bin and it works. In new kernel (since 7.0.2.005) this issue disappears. I will implement it in new build.

I am using alex kernel from LE 7.0.2.003. Sources for K1 Plus dbv_tv modules are not public.

**afl1** · Common DVB-T DVB-S dvb-c topic **afl1** October 3, 2016 at 6:30 PM

New version of k2pro.dtb. I built it from sources, comparing differences between k1plus and k2pro.

Hi afl1, i test in my KII Pro combo, but if use you K2pro.dtb ( i rename it when replace in SD card) box stuck on boot logo. If use stock dtb.img boot from sdcard and load libreelec image. So, may be is something wrong in k2pro.dtb
Thanks and regards for good work!

Ok, I will compare stock dtb's and try to create new KII Pro version.

LibreELEC-Amlogic.aarch64-KI_Plus-7.0.2.004.img - SDcard version update of alex's KI Plus 7.0.2.003 with the latest fixies:
- Multichannel PCM;
- fix for aspect ratio SD and HD-lite;
- multiboot support;
- wifi driver for AP6335 (KII Pro);

It should be possible run on KII Pro, it is necessary replace dtb.img with k2pro.dtb(I never tested it, pls let me know).

I try to use Alex build to my K2 pro combo, when use dtb.img from alex build box stuck in boot logo, when use dtb.img from stock firmware libreelec load, but tvheadend not see internal tuner.
qashaf, What dtb.img you use with alex build to have working tuners?
Thanks

I try to modify original dtb.img for alex build, but never tested it.

After some search in internet about avl6882 drivers see thread about TBS5520 linux drivers. This board use RafaelMicro R848 multi-standard tuner and AVL6882 demodulator same as K1 and K2 pro combo TV boxes. This thread i see patch to add drivers in Linux 3.x 4.x . Not posible to use this solution to make working built in DVB tuners in these boxes? Just mean, not have expirience to make it.

Let me notice in KI and KII pro combo is Avl6862 demodulator. I ported this driver in my builds, but it is for USB device. In KI and KII we need internal amlogic dvb frontend driver.

Multichannel PCM is possible only via HDMI. The setting is strange, to be able play multichannel PCM over HDMI, you have to set device "ALSA:AML-M8AUDIO,Analog".
I am not able to modify kernel. Only Kodi related fixies. You have to ask alex for new release.

**afl1**

I patched latest alex's LE version (7.0.2.003) for KI Plus S2/T2 with chbmuc's incorrect aspect ratio fix. I also added kszaq's support for multichannel PCM. I had serious issue with audio. After adding kszaq's fix it disappears passthrough setting. I fixed it with dirty patch of AML-M8AUDIO.conf. In my version is additional audio device "ALSA:AML-M8AUDIO,Analog" supporting all audio formats (also multichannel PCM). In HDMI device is no sound for multichannel PCM.
I prepared SDcard version LibreELEC-Amlogic.aarch64-KI_Plus-7.0.2.004.img

Tested your build on my Mini M8S II by copying the file to 'update' folder using Samba share and reboot. No boot issue, but Audio output setting stuck at Bluetooth. Couldn't change it back to HDMI output (grayed, before update I was using HDMI for audio output). Problem gone after fresh SD image installation.

CEC isn't working. System->Settings->Input devices->Peripherals field is also grayed. Will rolled back to kzsaq build LibreELEC-S905.aarch64-7.0-devel-20160915211230-r23341-gb83596f.img.gz to check whether CEC was working or not.

Thanks for sharing.

Edit: CEC works with kzsaq's build LibreELEC-S905.aarch64-7.0-devel-20160915211230-r23341-gb83596f.img.gz (at least with my Toshiba TV). Unlike afl1's latest build, there's no HD Audio output (e.g. no TrueHD, DTS-HD etc.).

Sorry, I was testing something with disabled CEC and I forgot to switch on it.
I tested bluetooth on my Mini M8SII with Marshall Kilburn without any issue. I can switch audio output during playback between bluetooth and hdmi.

Sdcard LibreELEC with fixed S905X booting, no audio issue. For S905X don't delete dbt.img. Img is tested with Mini M8S and T95X and booting is successful everytime.

afl1 This would break booting for everyone having SD card at mmcblk0. I think LABEL based solution is better, I only need to see if there's anything else that should be applied, e.g. a delay to wait for SD card mounting.

I don't think I'll break booting at mmcblk0, because I'm testing if there is mounted mmcblk0p1. But probably u mean following fix.
I will test it.

Yes, this fix is included in all development builds. I think there is an issue with delayed detection of SD card. Or no detection at all.

Is this delay configurable?

**afl1** · S905x support, what is needed? **afl1** September 26, 2016 at 1:50 PM

I found the reason for sdcard booting issue. The sdcard detection is not synchronized with emmc detection. Sometimes sdcard is detected as a /dev/mmcblk0

Code

[    2.548169@0] sd: new high speed SDHC card at address aaaa
[    2.553486@0] sd: clock 50000000, 4-bit-bus-width
 
[    2.558611@0] ge2d: ge2d clock is 400 MHZ
[    2.562408@0] ge2d: ge2d: pdev=ffffffc023c61c00, irq=182, rstc=0xffffffc023049bc0, clk=ffffffc01037ac00
[    2.571990@0] ge2d: mapped phy: 0xd0160000
[    2.575749@0] ge2d: ge2d start monitor
[    2.577179@3] mmcblk0: sd:aaaa SL16G 14.8 GiB

or as a /dev/mmcblk1

Code

[    2.753211@1] sd: new high speed SDHC card at address aaaa
[    2.753819@1] sd: clock 50000000, 4-bit-bus-width

[    2.753820@1] mmcblk1: sd:aaaa SL16G 14.8 GiB 
[    2.756001@1]  mmcblk1: p1 p2
[

In mmcblk.zip are both logs. First one is for successful sdcard booting for T95X tv box.

kszaq: Try to this fix issue to mount /flash and /storage for correct /dev/mmcblkX.

Hi,

afl1 can you prepare package for SD as well or give an info how to do this?

Currently my SD packages have boot issue for S905X. I have to fix it. Now is only option version for internal flash.
