Hello there
How can I block the dtb.img from updating? I’m using CE nightly generic 01/19/2025 build. The latest dtb.img for the AM6b+ broke the CEC adapter (3x times I have been trying different ways to set my AM6b). I’m using uSD for now.
“Cannot initialize Pulse CEC adapter “
I turned the updater to manual with the Ethernet unplugged. And then got the “dtb.img updated. A reboot required” few minutes after I plugged the Ethernet in. I rebooted the unit and it seemed to do the trick, no update.
1.create user-update.sh i.e. Tencent Aurora 4 Pro - #33 by vpeter
or
2.modify coreelec-dt-id to a custom name in dtb file i.e.
coreelec-dt-id="g12b_a311d_magiccube_x1"

Probably better to provide a log so devs can take a look.
CEC have nothing Todo with DTB!
That the CEC adapter is installed is done by Team Kodi. It makes no sense.
Just disable the add-on in Kodi itself.
But what you try is useless and do not affect anything.

Is there a way to change (coreelec-dt-id) by SSH terminal?
use DTC tool，device tree compiler
I only have windows and mac systems,
and I don’t use VMs anymore
I see. It must’ve be something different because when I rebooted after download an update and it booted with CE nightly _xxxxxxx (on the upper-left corner) then the CEC adapter stopped working. And that’s 3 times I started over with uSD set ups and it automatically installed something so fast, so I thought I’d setup without the internet and change the updater to manual. I need the CEC because I’m paralyzed and it works flawlessly with just 1 app(Roomie Remote) and another 3 devices, instead of 3 apps and 5 minutes.
What CEC adapter?
There does even no CEC adapter exist on Amlogic!
Ok
Took a look at this.
Pulse is addon from Kodi Repository
Game addons
Controller Profiles
CeC Adapter
You must install this addon for it to work.
After update of Nightly, go to your
Addons
Game add-ons
Controller profiles
You should see it there listed
Click on it
Select version
And refresh/ reinstall
Should read as Addon Updated
Hopefully that helps
Also when testing Nightlys
Should always make a backup after every Nightly
Especially when you have All working!!!
Ah! It was included with Kodi when I set my AM6b+. Thanks for this advice. I’ll play with the backup. Do you copy whatever is on the eMMc to a uSD card?
Thanks for making this OS.
Found the add on, but I think it’s different from this CEC Adapter (Settings > System > Input > Peripherals > CEC Adapter (version: libCEC 6.0.2 - firmware v5)
I don’t see it in my add on and I can’t update it too.
Thanks
Iam referrering to your OP
::: cannot initialize Pulse CEC adapter:::
If it’s a CEC issue, there’s no need to worry. If CEC works when your device starts up, then you’re good to go. But if it doesn’t work, no amount of troubleshooting will help. For example, my LG TV works perfectly with CEC, but my TCL TV doesn’t. Even using CEC debugging tools won’t make it work. So don’t stress about it. If all else fails, you can at least use Kore, which is also a good experience.
Yes I understand but that’s Pulse CEC Adapter too. The one included on the fresh startup.
Well
The question is this?
Are you using the Pulse Eight CeC Adapter in your setup?
Its a physical device that is connected with HDMI out from TVBox ?
If you are ,then need Addon installed for interface
An update to CE made the CEC stopped working was my problem. I will check Kore out, thanks.
No, just AM6b+. Connects to my LG tv. Never added any add-on.
I updated the CE one morning, after the update I got a message/warning on the upper right corner saying “cannot initialize Pulse CEC Adapter. Check the settings.”. I checked the CEC function and it stopped working.
