Firstly thank your for your work and open mind, (with Demetris collabo)

But I have no luck I couldn't success to install my M8S with your image

I tried LibreELEC-S812.LAN_100.arm-17.3_20170614.img and LibreELEC-S812.Test.arm-17.3_20170614.img

both of all. When I use .update folder in installed Demetri's image 'File system corrupted' error display

and I tried record SD and USB memory with rufus,

When SD inserts : M8S logo blinking contiues, and not change

when USB inserts : into android recovery and that's all

Display More

1. Write the image to SD card

2. Upgrade multi-boot (using a toothpick or Android app). When you activate the multi-boot method of a toothpick - do not hold down the button long after the appearance of the screen saver button to let go.

3. If the system fails to boot from SD card (within 10 minutes). Record the same image on the USB flash drive. Turn off the TV box. Unplug the TV box all USB device. Connect the USB flash drive. Turn on the power (buttons NOT push). 4. If the system does not start from USB stick. Try new image (write to USB) and instrucktion step 3.

Pay attention, this procedure is suitable only for those images that are on my website. For images Dimetris need to use a different start order and check (he described in his topic).

Many thanks for your efforts and help with yours and with Demetris images.

I have an M8S tv box (clone) - 2G ram, 8G rom, 100M ethrenet, BCM4330X wifi

I could successfully boot and install your LibreELEC-S812.LAN_100.arm-17.3.img.gz on an SDram and USB stick, however, this (and also previous builds) couldnt run tvheadend42. I could install and use only tvheadend4 and have faced some DVB sudio decodin issues.

I have tried LibreELEC-S812.Test.arm-17.3_20170614.img.gz on a USB stick on the same tv box and could install it on a USB stick. The first problem which I have faced is that there was no LibreELEC repository available and I couldnt install and test tvheadend42 and an HTSP PVR client.

Later this week, I will try and test this image also o another ENY M8S tv box I own - 2G ram, 8G rom, 100M ethernet, AP6330 wifi. In the past I couldnt install any of yours or Demetris images onto an SDram with this TV box (some have been stucj with the M8S logo and some have reported a corrupted file system).

Please note. We Dimetris is different multi-boot. To start the image you need to use the system multi-boot, which goes along with the image. If you want to use images of Dimetris, you need to activate the multi-boot its image Dimetris. If you want to try my images, you need to re-activate multi-upload of my image. I suggested Dimetris go to a single system multi-boot were compatible.

Just tried 20170614 on both my livingroom and bedroom Tronsmarts. Working great as usual, except for the "Invalid format" Libreelec splash screen issue on my bedroom setup I described before. I think you were saying that that is just the way its built into SYSTEM. I am going to keep looking though. There has got to be some way to fix that, maybe through modlines or something else. I am not sure how to go about "building option settings" All I am familiar with is the old school linux xorg.conf

If I understand correctly Your problem.

You can try to specify a different value for the first system startup in the file s805_autoscript. The list of available options here.

LibreELEC.tv/platform_init at Amlogic-Krypton · 150balbes/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

For this you need to download a text file

LibreELEC.tv/s805_autoscript.src at Amlogic-Krypton · 150balbes/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

To edit a line

LibreELEC.tv/s805_autoscript.src at Amlogic-Krypton · 150balbes/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

add a parameter with the desired screen resolution (e.g. 480)

setenv bootrootfs " boot=LABEL=LIBREELEC disk=LABEL=LIBREELEC_DISK BOOT_IMAGE=kernel.img hdmitx=cecf hdmimode=480"

After that you need to put the text file working binary file. This requires mkimage utility (I think you are familiar with Linux and know how to find it).

mkimage -A arm -O linux -T script -C none -d s805_autoscript.src s805_autoscript

Details on the Assembly is there.

GitHub - 150balbes/Amlogic_s905: SRC for Amlogic S905 (Tronsmart Vega S95 Telos Meta Pro) etc.

And then there is collection of different files to run different systems, where you can find different examples.

Quote from Demetris

So you want me to delete that cmd line in kernel config that defines boot flags and add to init those changes? So to be clear i understand what you are saying.

Only need to delete from config file the kernel. Need not be added. In the second link on platform_ini I showed that these data already have in this file (line 80).

Quote from Demetris

I have tested to compine before but i faced lan issues from 1gb vs 100Mbit

These data are compatible. You can collect one image for these devices.

Under this key, u-boot selects from multifile the desired option and uses it.

These two files together cannot be used. They have the same index. For such models will have to collect different images.

By the way, if You're interested, I would still recommend to update the system multi-boot and go to a new format. In the new format multi-boot, you can use any of the system on external media. Add ability to install to internal memory (eMMC\NAND) with one push of a button on the remote control .

Hi.

You have to config the kernel, there is an extra element in the command line. If it is clear, the system will run on any medium. By the way, the initialization file is already desired setting.

LibreELEC.tv/linux.arm.conf at le-8.0 · S802-LE/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

del

BOOT_IMAGE=/dev/boot boot=/dev/system disk=/dev/data

LibreELEC.tv/platform_init at le-8.0 · S802-LE/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

By the way, You can use one image for all versions, they are perfectly combined (they have indexes to select dtb data, nearly all different, so do not interfere with each other when running).

LibreELEC.tv/options at Amlogic-Krypton · 150balbes/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

p.s.

If You don't mind, I propose to combine our expertise for the Assembly LE for S812 and make You the main developer. As I plan to focus on creating a full system LinuxDesktop+Kodi).

**balbes150** · [S812] MIII Plus 2Gb\16Gb eMMC **balbes150** June 17, 2017 at 10:33 AM

Assembled using corrected patch Demetris test image. Visitors can try (version Test_20170614)

I have just tested Minix\20170609 it will not boot from SD card says filesystem corruption has been detected

it was the same if i tried update TAR but it does boot from USB

Do I understand correctly that the latest version (20170609) you checked, does not start with SD card and USB stick ?

Quote from tnds82

How to check "activate the media-boot" ?

Rough estimate, if the connected external drive (which uses multiboot) TV box does not start the internal firmware, so multiboot is enabled. Accurate assessment - show the output of the command "fw_printenv".

Quote from roel

Same problem here with Balbes latest builds for LAN1000. Since the builds after 20170418 they don't boot anymore from SD-card.

Have you tried to use a USB device ? Have you tried to use the image MXIII_Plus ?

Quote from daangel27

On all these verion I've got the same issue regarding performance behavior (High Cpu usage, video stuttering) which I do not have

Whenever possible, I try to look at your logs.

Quote from xbmcking

However, wifi is not available anymore.

On the previous images it worked ?

Quote from datrh

on the last S812lan1000, S812/filesystem/usr/lib/modules-load.d/am_net8218.conf is missing.

if this module is not loaded, the MINIX X8-H users didn't get LAN.

I will check this information.

Quote from kingsombra

OK ignore this.

You wrote, that you already found the solution earlier.

Quote from kingsombra

Is there anyway I could setup a xorg.conf for the Mali-450 and force a resolution?

You can create your option settings and to gather with him a new way SYSTEM (it's Packed with root system).

update image MXIII_Plus 20170614

**balbes150** · [S812] MIII Plus 2Gb\16Gb eMMC **balbes150** June 9, 2017 at 11:46 AM

Added a test image Minix\20170609.

So copy over the aml scripts from the current git (or one of your builds for m8s) and rerun the toothpick method?

1. Make a note of your new image (which you collected) on the SD card (pay attention , it needs the SD card).

2. Activate the media-boot.

3. Run the LE through SSH and execute the command "fw_printenv" and send me log.

**balbes150** · [S812] MIII Plus 2Gb\16Gb eMMC **balbes150** June 8, 2017 at 10:58 AM

Updated image MXIII_Plus (20170608). Will probably be 4k. I have no such equipment, so I have not tested this possibility.

I have the current version of your git built, do I actually need to modify some files? The scripts etc are all from the image I built using your master branch.

Update on TV Boxing multiboot from your created image. You are old multiboot, it can not run the new images (which you collect).

**balbes150** · [S812] MIII Plus 2Gb\16Gb eMMC **balbes150** June 7, 2017 at 12:25 PM

Added another test image (Minix\20170607).

The chances of this working, not much, but try this option. It uses the dtb from the new Minix firmware 5.1.

Quote from doggyofone

A friend has brought me his Kazoo Box, which I believe is an M8S, 2g8g with the AP6335 chip in it. Is this image " LibreELEC-S812.LAN1000.arm-17.3.img.gz" suitable version of Libreelec for this box?

Try all options, perhaps there are different added to the network.

**balbes150** · [S812] MIII Plus 2Gb\16Gb eMMC **balbes150** June 6, 2017 at 3:36 PM

Added another test image (Minix\20170606).

**balbes150** · [S812] MIII Plus 2Gb\16Gb eMMC **balbes150** June 6, 2017 at 2:36 PM

Try to run these commands and the result is here.

1.

udevadm info /sys/bus/sdio/devices/sdio*

2.

lsmod

I switch Wifi on it finds my connection

It also finds other connections nearby but when I select connect it does say ready it does not say online

I just tried again selected wifi and connect rebooted with Ethernet disconnected

Thank you for the test. This is a useful infa. You can run multiple commands through the SSH connection ?

**balbes150** · [S812] MIII Plus 2Gb\16Gb eMMC **balbes150** June 6, 2017 at 12:50 PM

Version MXIII_Plus (20170606). Please test the 4k resolution TV.

I see that many may not know about additional features all the images LE.

1. You can install in the internal memory without using SSH. Enough after verification KODI from external media (if you are satisfied, all the necessary functions and hardware works as it should), choose off menu item "Reboot Install to eMMC". When you restart will automatically install LE in the internal memory (all erase /dev/system and /dev/data).

2. Can be placed in the root of the FAT partition (on external drive) the desired file to the remote control or rename existing (remote.conf). To test the system with these settings remote. If you then run setup (from the menu item "Reboot install to eMMC"), the system will automatically include this file settings remote control the setup process in eMMC.

Pay attention to the old staffing installation options using the SSH, and the location of the settings file remote saved and you can use those modes, which is used to.

For those who want to support the project LE, you can do it on the official site community Lebreelec.

Do I understand correctly that the image version Minix 20170605 in the list set visible and available WiFi hotspot ? If you try to connect to Wi-Fi TV box hangs ? You can connect to the LE via SSH and run multiple commands ?

To All

Pay attention - check to run when you run "clean" system (when running from external media). If you try to run through the upgrade of an existing system, very often the old settings interfere to determine exactly where the error is.

Added test image for Minix H8 Plus. There is only one change - applied the patch on the dtb. Surprisingly this version also works with WiFi and BT on my Tronsmart MXIII Plus. Please, Minix H8 plus check for this option (catalogue MinixH8XPlus\20170605).
