Thank you kostaman.

Tests result: the reason behind freezing is outdated BL30 blob (a part of u-boot) that causes freezing during saradc initialization (S905 temperature sensor).

I guess I now have 3 ways to go:

• tell users to update their Android firmware - that would leave boxes with outdated/no-newer-version-available firmware frozen
• disable temperature sensor in my builds
• provide additional system image with temperature sensor disabled

Is it possible to replace the BL30 blob or u-boot without installing new Android firmware ?

Thanks kszaq

Hi guys, wanted to share my latest experience with beelink S905 mini mx 1GB RAM/1Gbit eth/AP6212

- I've installed to internal nand the stock 7.0.3.11 and proper dtb.img
- latest available u-boot (U-Boot 2015.01-g937dd3a (Apr 20 2016 - 11:39:18))
- i've connected the serial UART and from u-boot reinited the default boot environment:

# defenv_reserv
# setenv upgrade_step 2
# reset

now the box always boots without freezing (tested over 30 times :)).
the side effect is that i cannot get it to completely poweroff:
I've tried shutdown from kodi, poweroff and shutdown -h from ssh without success: "the box always does a reboot".
The only way to completely power it off is by using the power button of the original remote

p.s.: "suspend" seems to be working though :o (tested over 10 times)
p.p.s.: after a lot of suspends, tried a shutdown and worked. it seems that f i suspend nd resue at least once , then the shutdown works properly..
that's real "craziness" man!

Where does one get the U-Boot for these devices and how to install it ? Are sources and compilation instructions available ?

Thanks

A new build to test a/v sync, please: LibreELEC-S905.aarch64-7.0-devel-20161129232917-r23467-gdee7939.img.gz

I have also reverted some audio-related patches to get rid of that audio clicks/pops. I'm not able to test audio passthrough, please also test if it still works.

Hi, kszaq

This version also fixes channel switching for Live TV. In 7.0.2.009 after selecting a channel in the channels list window,
there was a delay, sometimes up to 10 seconds, before a picture or sound appeared, and the picture was often frozen
for a few seconds while audio was playing.

Could you make available on githab.com the source code for the changes you made in this version ? There seems to be
no updates since Nov 7, 2016.

Thanks kszaq.
