Weird Ethernet “Always On” Behaviour:
I have 2 CE installations on my N2. On eMMC I’m running rc1, and on uSD rc2. On both version I have disabled “Wake on LAN” in CE configuration and in “config.ini” (wol=0).
If I use only eMMC (uSD not attached) and power off via Power Menu → Ethernet turns off.
If I use only uSD (eMMC not attached) and power off via Power Menu → Ethernet turns off.
But if I boot from uSD card with eMMC attached and then power off via menu, N2 turns off but Ethernet port stays On. Then to turn LAN off I have to disconnect power supply.
Thanks a lot gents. I now have flashed only the FLASH partition with 19.3 and I have my box back!
Much appreciated and kudos for your work and support.
Simply put, no. S905 without any suffix is not compatible with CE-Matrix. There is nothing you can do about it. You should retire your old box and upgrade to a ng (next generation) device, preferably with S905x3 SoC. It has long term service status from AMLogic.
Beelink gtking issues, device is rebooting when idling and audio problem meaning audiodevice must be set to allways on or specific timer to prevent repeated notifications on sony tv - example: when pressing arrows keys on remote with sound effect.
Both issues occured after update to latest ver.19.4-Matrix_rc2 from 19.3
I’ve got the same setup as you, @Hashman, and even with keep alive it’s going crazy lately.
I’m ordering an emmc from ameridroid (to the UK) as they’re on sale, but I’m also ordering a radxa zero, as I fear the n2+ is just having too many issues.
