Beelink GT1 Mini & CoreELEC, No USBv2 Port

Help & Support Hardware
62

I’m using latest CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-9.2.5-Generic Stable and only the one USB port is powered up, this is the USB blue coloured port and because GT1 Mini device I have has the USB ports incorrectly coloured… means it’s only USB v2 that is functioning.

Trying to use the other port, with receiver or USB storage devices, not powered up nor detected via CoreELEC.

Yes Storage devices with LED support, never the LED lits up when plugged into the USB v3 port… Regardless if plugging in once CoreELEC is booted or plugged in and rebooting CoreELEC. There is never power to that USB port, no LED on storage device ever lit up.

64

So it’s USB v3 or USB v2 port now? :dizzy_face:

65

Unfortunately I can’t measure 5v. I connected my cell phone on usb 2 (not blue) - charging ok.

66

Maybe anyone with issues make a photo of the port what is not working and also perform on this port a test with a phone if it’s charging or not (5V power available test)

67

When I’ve first created this topic, it was before I investigated deeply into the USB issue. I later discovered that the GT1 Mini (Amlogic S905X2 4GB/64GB) USB ports was incorrectly colour coded and I’ve posted my findings on this here topic.

and following that basically…

Interesting. Plugged my phone using USB Type-C cable, into that non-functional USB port on my GT1 Mini. Screen on the phone came on but there is an exclamation mark and not charging. :stuck_out_tongue:

Here v1 for testing
Removed…

here another test version. we have no test object and no schematic so I can only guess what could be wrong.

EDIT: updated dtb files

70

This dtb work for me, I’m only using the latest CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-9.2.5-Generic Stable? Not using the CoreELEC 19 Matrix nor nightly builds.

71

the dtbs are for both, doesn’t matter. just try it…

72

Here v2 for testing:
g12a_s905x2_2g_1gbit.dtb (66.5 KB)
g12a_s905x2_4g_1gbit.dtb (66.5 KB)

73

Apologies for the delay. Alright, tried version 1, every-time I boot CoreELEC there’s an ‘Pulse-Eight CEC Adapter’ error message and the same error shown on the phone when plugging it in, no LED with USB flash drive either.

74

ignore the CEC message for now. there is change inside what maybe break it. please try also v2 with the USB port

75

Just did Portisch. Version 2 detects my USB flash drive!!! :))))

… Also my cell phone lit up and without a charging error (exclamation mark), and seems to be charging ! :slight_smile:

76

Ok, the port type is wrong set to host, it needs to be otg. Thanks for testing.

Great, version 2 works. Can i use it too with 19 Nightly?

78

I will include the patch as soon as possible in the nightly. Right now I am in bed as my back hurts too much :sob:

79

Thank you very much for your great work.

80

Thanks Portisch! Also never issue with me testing. When you have time, drop a message when you fixed that Pulse-Eight CEC Adapter error message. Enjoy the sleep, you deserve it! :slight_smile:

81

the dtbs are for both, Portisch said. :grinning:

@Phant0m @pepek33 here the last test version

g12a_s905x2_beelink_gt_mini_a_4g.dtb (66.6 KB)

I saw only a small diff between GT1 mini and GT mini A.
The GT mini A do not have a RTC clock.

And please test if ethernet is still working like before.
