I see. So, if the goal is to eventually add Mi Box 4 support to the official LibreELEC builds and upstream the relevant changes, there are several things that need to be done first.

The device tree and the rtw88 patches should go through the proper Linux upstream process, including following the kernel commit requirements and running the relevant DT binding/schema checks.

For emmctool support, the device would also need proper upstream U-Boot support rather than relying on modifications to the vendor bootloader, so that installing LibreELEC to the internal eMMC can be done through a supported boot chain.

Did I understand this correctly?

Anyway, thank you very much for the advice. Have a great day!

Hello guys,

Recently, I extracted and ported the DTS for the Mi Box 4 (MDZ-21-AA) from the stock image, adding support for the internal Wi-Fi module.

Some kernel patches are also required for the Wi-Fi driver. By default, the driver reads the MAC address from the Wi-Fi chip's eFuse, while on the Mi Box 4 the MAC address is actually stored in the SoC's eFuse.

The images, guides, and patches have all been uploaded to GitHub:

Feel free to ask questions or point out any issues.

I'm still learning, so any feedback is welcome. I'll try my best to help.

Have a good day!
