I tried, have a mini USB keyboard with BT dongle that should work out-of-the-box, but no joy. I don't have a standard 101-key wired keyboard on hand, but I'll borrow one from my workplace and give that a try.
All this is just to find out how well LibreELEC handles the built-in wifi and BT on this stick, if at all.
Well, like I said, I am unable to set up networking because my IR controller is not working. If I can't set up networking, I can't ssh into the stick to do any of the work suggested in that guide. Apologies if that was not clear in my original post.
I need a way to get remote.conf installed before boot, or during boot, without requiring my interaction, unless there is some other way...
Hello all -
I have an X96S TV stick, Amlogic S905Y2 proc. I got it to boot from LibreELEC-AMLGX.arm-11.0.6-box.img.gz, using either the meson-g12a-sei510.dtb or meson-g12a-u200.dtb files - the others kick out a network driver error or don't boot at all.
The problem: the IR remote that comes with this stick does not work from the get-go. I've grabbed the remote.conf file that is recommended in these forums, but since I can't control the device, I can't set up networking, ergo I can't copy remote.conf to /storage/.config!
I was previously playing with CoreELEC on this stick, and had the same issue with the remote. CoreELEC also has a remote.conf file, but with that build you can just copy it to the root of the SD card and it will configure itself on boot. (CoreELEC's S905Y2 build is not working with the WiFi or BT on this stick, so I thought I'd give LibreELEC a try.)
So, how do I get the IR remote working when I don't have network access to the stick?
TIA for any pointers.
Ok, I RTFM. I will try again. I think it might be helpful reference that extra step for "box" installs in the brief instructions in the "downloads" pages.
I was able to get the device to boot to Libreelec, now stuck on a problem with the remote, which I'll post a new thread for.
Thx
I did do a recovery boot when switching from CE to LE, but the unit booted in Android anyway, so I tired the CE technique of copying the dtb to the root sir and renaming it, then trying the recovery boot again.
If I'm not supposed to do that, is there something else I need to do after I write the SD to prep it for first boot? Inserting it in the TV stick and attempting a recovery boot does not work.
Is it possible to run on this device? https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806165995702.html

Hello - trying the generic 11.0.6 build on this device: https://www.amazon.com/X96S-Android-A…t/dp/B0CFZS5GB7.
I tried with all of the G12A (S905X2/D2/Y2) dtb's turn, just get a black screen with each, no boot.
I can boot CoreELEC 20.4-Nexus-Generic on the same stick, but there are issues with WiFi and BT support for the Realtek rtl8723bs so I thought I'd try LibreELEC.
Any suggestions on how to get LibreELEC up and running on this stick?
TIA
