To devs: It’s probably a bad idea - implement support of external UCODEs from a file, instead of burning modified BIN files using UBT? Just asikng.
Anyway, I make unique Android for some boxes. This is not a big deal like that.
Unfortunately, I can’t install the 4.1 UCODE, there has been a lot of changes.

The A95X F4 S905X4 Box was bought in 2021,came with Android 10 ,and the mt7668rsn wifi/bluetooth combo chipset.
Seems to be a rare combo driver ,in my case anyway…
Started testing CoreELEC 2022…
Possible 20.5 Nexus NE had the combo driver i needed…not sure…
I tested both SC2 S905X4 boxes just to see what all the fuss was about u-code…
The A95X F4 returns 2.0 as u-code, just a little outdated.
In the end i need to use NG 4.9 kernel CoreELEC to have combo driver working.
No support in NE or NO
The mt7668 drivers didn’t start serendipitously working. Portisch ported the CE-NG drivers to 5.15, and in the past few months additional fixes were applied including BLE support.
The 2nd gen Cube uses the mt7668 chipset, that’s what I used to test them in CE-NO. If you haven’t tested WiFi/BT recently, it’s worth another try.

Any chance you could share a guide or your firmware build for HK1 RBOX X4 or both for that matter. If willing and able, better to post to the HK1 RBOX X4 thread
https://discourse.coreelec.org/t/report-about-amlogic-s905x4-hk1-rbox-x4/18603
Thanks for info!!
Maybe will have another look
I am getting a kernel panic on my UGOOS X4 Cube using
CoreELEC-Amlogic-no.aarch64-22.0-Piers_nightly_20250409-Generic.img.gz
I tried to look for an older image, but it seems that they are not being archived, for some reason.
I did not get a UART dump (I can attempt this at some point, but I don’t know the pinout), but I do have a photo of the screen:
Thanks
Full UART log is required.
Do you know where to find the UGOOS serial pinout?
Very odd thing, I figured out the UART (it is the unpopulated 4 pin header - requires 926100 baud rate capable interface or you will see nothing), and then it booted successfully without a kernel panic:

Hello world again, bl2e meet you guys!
valid entry info for bl33, pc
I think he was asking for a log from the start of kernel loading up to the kernel panic, since you’re dealing with a kernel problem.
How do I get that? This is the only output I get from the UART. It just keeps rebooting after that.
Uboot isn’t handing off bootup to the kernel anymore? In your previous post the box was booting to the early CE kernel loading stage.
In the your post above, the uart log stops before bl33 (uboot), even though you said CE booted once without a kernel panic. Maybe Ugoos disables those uart pads you’re using once bl33 loads, and switches to a different set of pads for bl33 and kernel?
Are there any other uart pads present? Maybe someone else with this board is more familiar with what pads are active.
Modify your config.ini:
coreelec='quiet loglevel=9 nopkmute'
It was already set to that. That’s all I got.
Then clean install and other boot media and and and
We tested last nightly today, booting fine.

Please confirm your firmware version. I am using 1.2.4 from their site:
I also burned the image with Rufus to a new SD Card, and the only two things I changed are the dtb.img to the appropriate one and the line in config.ini, but I still had the exact same issue.
If I need to downgrade my firmware, I will downgrade.
Thanks
My device also doesn’t boot so it is not just you.
What was last NO build which worked?
Will need more checking what happen. In the meantime you can try to update manually by copying files kernel.img, SYSTEN and dtb.img from some older files here Index of /Amlogic-no/CE-22/. This way we could identify faster when issue was introduced.

Thanks for the suggestion. I went back as far as the 20240519 build (that’s the oldest version available at the link you sent), and the problem still occurred.
