Amlogic-ne, New Era

Would I be correct in saying the S905X4 has no advantages over the 922X especially in regards to performance? Hence why purchase an S905X4 at a premium price over an 922X which, as stated above, is going to be supported for 2 years more.

The A331D2 on the other hand has a performance, and other, improvements over the 922X. So why would one at this stage go down the S905X4 path instead of either sticking with a 922X for a couple of years or just bite the bullet and get a A331D2?

Thoughts?

That’s kind of my thinking. I’ll likely keep my N2 boards for the time being as they still more than meet my needs.

Until the kernel/chip support reaches EOL, thereby forcing my hand, -or- until AML produces something genuinely compelling that’s matched with a trusted SBC provider, (looking at you Odroid), I see no meaningful reason to upgrade.

I have been scraping my media for about 2 days now, and this version locks up my HK1 X4 every couple of hours. I have to power cycle the device when it locks up.
Most of my media that it is scraping are recorded TV shows. I have about 270 different series and thousands of episodes.

This only happens using the new Amlogic -ne.

Anyone else having this issue??

On VIM4 (with Amlogic -ne build of course) the RAM usage increase over time to a 4GB for 4-5 Hours (the device has 8GB). Maybe has some Memory Leak somewhere and when all 8GB has been reached, the system will crash?

I will check that, thanks for the heads up. I was watching a BlueRay movie last night and half way through, the box froze. Had to power cycle.

Guys, remember this is an alpha version, meaning we are in the first phase of software testing by the public.

While we totally like all the comments about what works and what doesn’t, we NEED system and debug logs if you want us to resolve the issues.

If you are unsure how to produce or submit logs, here are instructions.

Thank you for being a Team player.

ok, thx. we missed this part. it will be included in next nightly

Right now, I am playing a movie with the “enable debug logging” enabled. I will post the log when the box locks up.

I have another issue regarding the IP address. It has changed the IP address twice since I installed the new NE version.

Just starting to Test NE

Strange Blutooth is working on s905x4

Have yet to config remote
And vfd

Happy Testing

VFD is working perfectly. Have not used the stock remote.

Amlogic, I believe that the expensive flagship S922x CPU deserves to be added support for the 5.4 kernel.
Maybe if a new device with official DolbyVision support appears I will upgrade but until then I wait.
But I understand the development must go on so good luck with the new-era chips support.

And where - do you think - will this support come from, if and when AMLogic decides to drop its support for the S922 SoC? Nexus isn’t even beta yet, so you have at least three years of support still to come.

@hungphutho you need to give me more information. What dtb you exactly used?
How many ram do your device have? 1GB?

Because S905W2 is same structure S4 like S905Y4, so the firmware should already be included and working.

Tx3 Mini Plus S905W2 RAM 4G / s4_s905y4_4g.dtb
Tanix W2 S905W2 RAM 2G / s4_s905y4_2g.dtb
i have both devices , same result

 MH264 the TEE fw loading failed, err:

You can try systemctl mask opentee_linuxdriver.service then reboot
