CoreELEC 21.0-Omega_alpha1 Amlogic-ne Discussion

Since I have similar problem as @avin I’ve tried with CE-21 alpha1 on S905W2:
s4_s905w2_2g_v1.dtb (65.5 KB) posted by @Portisch, but it’s stuck at boot logo with the same artifacts again.
With the dtb file (s4_s905w2_2g) from CE 20.1 it boots normaly, just like @avin.
Log: http://ix.io/4uNh
Log from working dtb from CE 20.1: http://ix.io/4uNt
My box: TX3 mini+ (s905 w2), 2 gb ram, lan 100, 16 gb mmc.

24

Please try one of these:

25

s4_s905w2_2g_v2.dtb works.
Here is log : http://ix.io/4uNy

s4_s905w2_2g_v3.dtb also works.
Here is log: http://ix.io/4uNz

I don’t have wifi with either of them.

26

ok, thx. then here hopefully the last version:

27

It doesn’t work, same artifacts at boot as s4_s905w2_2g_v1.dtb

Sorry, I forgot the log http://ix.io/4uNA

28

Final version then (when it works with this v5):
EDIT, ok then it’s v2 our winner

EDIT:
Please update with tomorrow nightly as it should be fixed there.

29

OK, thanks for the time.

oops I was late a bit…
nevertheless, I tried dtb v4 on my TanixW2, same result, stuck at boot with moving artifacts.
So I will wait new dtb release then.

Hi,
my new Homatic Box R 4K Plus will arrive tomorrow.
This box is initially only for testing. My Odroid N2 with Corelec will remain the main system for now.

Maybe someone can answer a few questions, regarding the Homatic, that have already come up:

  1. I hope the “CoreELEC-Amlogic-ne.aarch64-21.0-Omega_alpha1-Generic.img.gz” is the correct file for the Homatic.
    Which dtb file must I use for this device?

  2. I read, that the Homatic does not have an IR Receiver, so I wonder if I will be able to switch the box on with an alternative remote like Logitech Harmony?

Thank you!

  1. As written in other thread it is sc2_s905x4_sei_smb_280.dtb.
  2. Not possible.
33

Thank you, that was quick!

Sorry, but I didn’t find the other thread. Maybe my search was not good enough.

Is there another way to power up the device? (Flirc, Wake on lan)

Does anyone know if the Rocktek G2 4K has an IR receiver?

34

Most discussion happens here: Homatics Box R 4K Plus

I don’t know if IR receiver on RockTek G2 exists (I think not) but even if it does (like with Dune version) wake up is not possible.

35

You need reboot to android, and there sleep the device.
No IR receiver in Rocktek, and Nokia.

From Portisch:
Power consumption Homatics R4 Plus with 5V DC IN:

GUI, idle:		2.9W
AV1:			4.0W
HLG:			3.6W
H264, 1080p:	3.2W
DV 8.1, 4k:		3.9W
DV MEL, 1080p:	3.4W
Power off:		0.12W
Suspend:		0.64W
36

You can the wake the from suspend by switching to its cec input.

Thank you for all your answers.

What is future of s905x3 for now, will it get converted to ne or will it get left behind on ng

39

Still on may, maybe never.
There are already new SoC on market so nobody interests on old ones.

Confirm using 21.0-Omega_nightly_20230505 with
s4_s905w2_2g_v4.dtb MD5 ce1aa2c1e0c00b6e36615d1b98649b0a
Tanix W2 2+16G can now boot normally and install to emmc fine.

5G wifi still only WPA2, no WPA3 or mixed encryption.

Btw, IR remote both work out of the box in 20.1 and 21.0 without the need for remote.conf, but XB360 joystick is not working in 21.0 for UI control.
