  • (S922x, S905x3) Odroid N2 vs Khadas VIM 3 vs ...?

    Quote from vpeter

    If you can't read on CE forum what is the reason to not support this device (yet) with "old" kernel it is your fault. If you don't understand ask someone to translate the reason to your language.

    You again give inaccurate information (you have previously tried to intentionally spread fakes about N2, after that I am skeptical about your information). As far as I know, the representative of Beelinc offered CE sample KING, but CE representatives said they need a lot of samples for all developers. This requirement is very similar to the attempt to put obviously impossible requirement that would then hide behind this, why they were not able to release the CE image for King.

    I must correct you (as others did many times) ... I'm no fanboy but rather manufacturer & SOC agnostic; always looking for the hardware which suits my needs best. So: just an ordinary user and I still have to say that the N2 cooling / temperature curve is superior to anything else I saw ...


    Comparison; both more or less in some sort of idle mode:

    I have explained many times what "not an efficient cooling system"means. I will repeat for you an example. Maybe then you'll understand what I'm writing. You bought a car. He has a gas tank the size of 100 liters. You filled 100 liters of gasoline in this car. We drove the distance and spent 40 liters. The car stopped going because it ran out of gas, although the tank has another 60 liters. Due to the poor design of the fuel tank, the car can not use the remaining 60 liters. The car can only use 40 liters. You will always have to fill it with 40 liters, the remaining 60 you will carry as ballast. The situation is similar with the cooling system N2. when used in normal mode (when the radiator is looking down), its efficiency is about 40%. It works better if put vertically (using a VESA mount). I ran tests. If you replace the regular radiator with another, which is less than the standard 2 times in area and less than 3 times in massa and place it correctly (up the radiator), when running the tests, I get even a little less temperature than when using the standard radiator. By the way, reducing the impact of high temperature on other components also has a positive effect on the overall performance. Compilation of the project (which lasts an average of 7-8 hours), with the redesign of the cooling system is reduced by about 10-15 minutes. This is not much, but it confirms that the decrease in temperature of all components has a beneficial effect on the system.

    p.s.

    I'm tired of explaining the truisms of the cooling systems. In the future, I see no reason to enter into a discussion if people do not know the basic laws of physics. :)

  • Tanix TX6

    Quote from ukmark62

    EDIT: I went ahead and just dragged and dropped the file to the sd card and inserted it into the TX6 and switched on with UART connected and attached is log of that. It mentions RAM of 2gb in the log, should that not be 4gb? The box is 4gb ram and 64gb rom (or supposed to be).


    h6-test1.txt

    Judging by the UART log , u-boot is looking for a system to run. You can try to slip him a working system and see how it works. Can you share the u-boot file ? I'll try to build a test system to test the launch.

  • Tanix TX6

    Quote from ukmark62

    Solved it by switching a cable around - the TX port on the H6 board was in a different place to where I thought - but all working now. Getting lots of readable text on boot up.

    Can you share a photo where UART is connected on TX6 ? I have this model, I want to check out the work of the new u-boot.

  • (S922x, S905x3) Odroid N2 vs Khadas VIM 3 vs ...?

    Quote from kszaq

    Mainline-based LE also works on Odroid-N2 and it was ready earlier than for VIM3 simply because the Odroid was ready earlier.


    It is a work in progress but support for both boards should be almost equal in mainline-based builds. I also think that CE support is a matter of creating a device tree for VIM3 and like you said: most of work for S922X was already done for N2 and every S922X can reuse it.

    CE for N2 uses the old 4.9 kernel that HK develops and there is no support for other models in their kernel. And HK is not interested in adding such elements for competing products. I studied the sources of their kernel for N2, there are a lot of specific things. :)

    Perhaps for this reason CE do not want to engage in Beelink King (s922). There will have to modify and maintain a lot in someone else's core for this model. :)

    Quote from appwizcpl

    Besides these two, what else do you guys look at? I am thinking Minix, however as far as I am concerned there are no details for that. Also anyone have any Antutu benchmark comparisons between the models?

    If you need a ready-to-use device only for the media center - look at Ugoos AM6. Details about all the models you can find on Freacktab, there are a lot of comparisons and discussions. By the way, it is possible that you do not need S922, and it may be enough s905x2. I have samples of N2 and AM6. :)

    VIM3 is the most versatile and powerful device with the richest set of functions.


    p.s.

    Very funny look at some of these arguments. Literally not long ago, these subjects were screaming about the fact that I have no right to even write publicly my findings (by the way, based on precise calculations) about the poor efficiency of the cooling system on N2 (costs do not meet the requirements of the result), referring to the fact that at that time I had no sample of N2 (by the way, actual tests have confirmed the correctness of my calculations). And now they brazenly write their reasoning about VIM3, not possessing his VIM3. :)

  • @balbes150 LE images with Kodi-19 for S9xxx

    Update images 20190608. Fixed sound operation via BT.

    Pay attention to the change in the composition of images. All images belong to two groups AMLG12 and AMLGX. In the name of the image specified how DTB is specified in this manner by default. For those models for which there is no image with the exact model name, you need to use an image with the same processor architecture (s905 s905x s905x2 s912 s922) and after recording the image, configure the used DTB as described earlier in the file (uEnv.ini).
