    I see You have a significantly different system settings (variables). For this option you need to use another script to activate the multi-boot. You have the opportunity to connect the console UART ? This will allow to obtain additional data and conduct testing and debugging of the activation script multi-download.


    Could you help me how to fix it, what the problem it ?


    Try renaming the file s805_autoscript in aml_autoscript ( replace existing aml_autoscript) and try to start via the reset button (using a toothpick). Are you using SD card or USB flash drive to write the image ? Note that to activate the multi-boot you need to use the SD card (it has to be done once), then the system will run from the Sd card and USB flash drive. It is a feature of some variants of recovery in some models of TV consoles.

    Describe in detail what steps You performed and what the result is.


    Test version Kripton-17 for s812 (only option for 1 Gbit network). There's a glitch - after writing the image to media, you need to replace the FAT section of the script s805_autoscript the one to be on the website ( download and write to the media instead of the file that is in the image).

    In the last images included experimental support for the s802. You are no risk, you can try to run the LE from external media (SD card or USB flash drive). Native IOS (Android in the internal memory) remains unchanged. If LE doesn't start, just unplug the external drive and use it as before native IOS. There are two versions of images for network card 100 Mbps network card 1 Gbps. By the way, the IOS and Android contain data for both types of processors S802 and S812, kernel they have in common, differ only dtb data.


    Regarding dtb - I tried to extract the "boot.img" by fetching the newest firmware and extract from there. Now it sounds as if you tell us, this wont help as the u-boot does not support custom dtb.img files on the sdcard? Did I understand that correctly?

    No, you understood wrong. I wrote that in u-boot s8xx there is no single command that is able to load from the internal memory separately dtb data. On the platform s9xx - dtb data can be used separately, for example to run various systems with external media. For this there is an additional command in u-boot. You can freely use your dtb external SSD for s8xx, if properly prepared - and will use the appropriate commands in the autorun script system (s805_autoscript). The script should be downloaded separately kernel and dtb data, and then call the command by using key, separately indicating the address where you downloaded the kernel and dtb data.


    I see... so that's why it was possible to split the dtb.img on S905 devices. In any case, could you compile into the kernel.img the multi-dtb I uploaded (it actually got extracted from the boot.img file)?

    Do I understand correctly that You have a dtb file that You want to integrate in the kernel image LE (instead of what is used now) ?
    Or do You want to add Your data to an existing image ?


    - wifi has no "data-transfer" (lan, internet) but is able to connect to the router and gets IP / DNS-IP-Assignment / ...

    WiFi I have not tested. In the next release I'll check it. How does the wired network ?


    - RAM was recognized as "of 1785 mb" or so (not 2gig)

    This is the correct value, as it should be. A portion of memory to be allocated for the graphics system and it is not displayed in the output.

    I checked the device RAM, it's only listing a total of 1613952kB instead of 2gB. Is this because of a mismatched DTB file?

    In any case, I managed to extract the AMLOGIC multi-dtb file from the image and uploaded it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6u8eia0t0leqpz...b.img?dl=0
    Also, it may be a stupid question, but can the DTB file be replaced post-install? I managed to do it for the RPi but that's a special case, I don't know how to do it for my device or if it's even possible.

    After recording of the image on the media, FAT partition, there is a copy of the dtb file. Dtb data from this file are part of the kernel (kernel.img). This dtb file can be used to separate the kernel, the dtb data initramfs. For separate download of elements need to use another script file s805_autoscript. I checked the option in which dtb data are not part of the "kernel.img". In this embodiment, it is easy to replace the dtb data for any need without having to collect a new image. But it has a drawback. U-boot (which is used in all standard firmware platform S8xx) no support for separate load and store the dtb data in the internal memory. This feature (separate storage of the kernel and dtb data in the internal memory) appeared on the platform S9xx. If make the corresponding changes in u-boot, then can use a separate options storage of the kernel and the dtb data to internal memory.

    Hi. I tried it on my m8s plus.
    Working perfect except ethernet. DHCP doesn't resolve my router's IP assigning 169.254.*.* instead.
    I tried to set my ip manually - no success.
    I think ethernet just not working properly.

    Всю голову поломал, что не так. Как-то можно проверить работоспособность сетевухи?

    Try this option.

    Usually, with such symptoms, the problem with the dtb file, it does not correctly detected network card. Alternatively, you can rebuild the image with the correct dtb. Need any sample dtb file (at least from the firmware, at least from any version of LE\OE) that the network card is correctly recognized and works.

    Обычно, при таких симптомах, проблема с dtb файлом, в нём не правильно определена сетевая карта. Как вариант - можно пересобрать образ с правильным dtb. Нужен любой образец dtb файла (хоть из прошивки, хоть от любой версии LE\OE), с которым сетевая карта правильно определяется и работает.

    3. You file kernel.img is not needed. This file is intended for other purposes.

    4. You have two options. If u-boot in internal memory intact, you can activate a universal-boot and run different systems from external media without changing the pitch. If u-boot does not work, then you can block an appeal to the internal memory and use the boot loader from external SD card to make small changes to the scripts and run the system entirely from external media.

    Have you tried to activate the multi-boot ?

    1. To capture the image , it is necessary to unpack such program 7zip. If You do not get to unzip, email me, I will upload to the site is not Packed version of the image for recording.
    2. Yes, You can try two options - catalog MIII_C or the latest version from the directory MIII_Plus (in latest version added the dtb data from many models in a single file).
    3. The file kernel.img need for manual replacement in the same images ( they are not written to the external media). You need to use the images (pokerspace) with the xz extension.
    4. If You fail to start LE because of problems with internal memory, you can try to force it to operate Your TV box with external media without the use of internal memory.

    I gathered BETA image using the source kernel KSZAQ for the 3.10. Included in the dtb data for multiple devices S812 and S802. Request to the owners of different models S812 and S802 , who have the opportunity to try to run it with the external media. I am interested in the fundamental performance of multivariant dtb data simultaneously for S812 and S802.

    All my builds are here to S812. I have only have one model Tronsmart MIII Plus ver 2.2. So I can guarantee the operation only for this model. For all other models - that-be to get a working version, I need feedback from testing. If you are willing to be "Guinea pigs" to test, I'm willing to try to collect the right version. But I warn you, it's not a quick process and requires patience and time.

    balbes150: are there Krypton experimental builds around, or can you build one?
    Thanks! :)


    The Assembly version with a krypton planned, but I don't have the time to do it.

    Hello I bought ((Akaso M8s - S812 - 2G/8G with wifi chip RTL8723BS )) and ihave TWRP and root
    my problem Bluetooth does not work as well as Wi-Fi Direct does not work, so i can not cast any think to m8s
    >>>>>>>
    pleas Can you help me find the firmware: or Backup For the same device with wifi chip RTL8723BS.
    Sorry for my weak English.


    Maybe need firmware is on the site Amlogic. You were looking for ?
