9.2.4.2 Discussion

[msider]

Once I had to use nightly because of broken Bluetooth in some stable release but since I updated a successive stable release the booting checks have persisted. How can I get rid it off, which command to turn it off please?

[PlatypusW]

Thanks both - I initially updated but CE was still seeing it as N2. I think that’s the device tree (still learning). So since it’s got nothing on it yet I’ll just reinstall.

After reinstalling the EMMC it’s now saying n2 plus

Will start using it and report back if I encounter any issues.

There’s a typo there snyc should be sync

[Portisch]

That’s because the seller used the wrong image as n2plus wasn’t supported by 9.2.3 and he just used the n2 device tree.

I just tried the RC with my N2.
No real issues so far.
Rear usb ports might getting better with my xbox tuner, need to test more.
CEC still intermittently looses tv connection on N2 resume (happends with anything > 9.2.2),
but could very well be an issue with my old samsung tv set.
RC looks stable so far.
I’ll report if I notice anything.

For use of CEC you can try different libCEC versions:

Command to completely disable CEC in "config.ini"

As the Tanix TX9 Pro is a S912 SoC I am not sure if it can be disabled completely. At least not in suspend mode as CE does not have control over the bootloader bl301 blob. All other devices using Amlogic-ng image including bl301 injected and/or Odroid N2/C4 also support disable of CEC for Wakeup and can be set in Kodi CoreELEC Settings. so set in config.ini (if not available in CE settings): cec_func_config='0' should disable it, yes Different libCEC versions can be chosen by open a SSH conn…

For the wakeup you can try to disable the option active route in CE settings, CEC.

Do n2+ people use the N2 image or the generic?

CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-9.2.3.95-Odroid_N2.img.gz
I assume I can just drop the correct file into the update folder in windows via samba?

EDIT: well just copied over the N2 image to the update folder in windows and rebooted and seems to be working fine.

I also get some strange behavior on my LG OLED

You use the N2 img.gz

You must MANUALLY copy the N2+ device tree from the device tree folder in the burned image.
Rename it to dtb.img and paste it to the root of the sd card /eMMC.
Now insert the sd card and it will boot up.

Thanks yeah guessed it was the N2 image, had already done the dtb as was already using a nightly so this was simple update.

TaNiX TX5 Delux Edition (S905X3 4/64 1GB) > Success. No problems noted.

Installed the update on my X96 Max Plus and found a small bug, probably with the USB-ports. After booting, the RII wireless keyboard doesn’t work right away: I have to unplug it and plug it in again. I didn’t check, but this may be the case for other USB devices too.

[Kdem]

Rear usb ports are still hit-n-miss.
Maybe getting better, but my tuners still freeze from time to time and/or when resuming N2 from sleep.
Front usb is as always ok.
For my CEC issue I can’t comment until I find the time to test available libs.
Disabling active route doesn’t seem to help.
Other than that (none of the above is a new issue), it looks ok.

[DudeShemesh]

Is this the way to do it in 9.2.4, or is the user configured option mentioned in the changelog available through the UI?

[Portisch]

The CEC wake up functions options are available in CE settings if using Odroid N2/C4 or a compatible device with bl301 injected.

[DudeShemesh]

Thanks, but can you control which version of the lib is used?

How to configure used libCEC version

As CEC is implemented different on each hardware (TV brand/type) it may is needed to switch the used libCEC version to get a stable CEC handling for your CoreELEC device. Maybe a older libCEC version is working better with older TVs or vice versa. Any error found by libCEC can be reported at the developer site from Pulse-Eight: Different libCEC versions can be chosen by open a SSH connection to a CoreELEC device. By default libCEC version 4.0.4 is used. Revert any changes done to the use…

After new installation of newly updated version of 9.2.4, my x96 mini (S905W)WiFi is not connecting anymore. Kindly help?

[blahpony]

I put the new version in the update folder last night on my 4G N2. Everything seems to be working fine. I watched some TV from TVHeadEnd server (different machine), watched some videos from an NFS export over the network, and checked the weather.

When you read the hint about update from Amlogic to Amlogic-ng and also your log you will find the solution shortly.
