One small issue
I need current DTB for .ng latest nightly, with correct dovi.ko

I have one of first release with Max Linear Ethernet Transceiver 100mb

There was a DTB that was getting 1000mb

Where can i buy a 1000m-lan version :thinking: anyone got one recently with one?

I ordered it aliexpr. and it came in 1000, but it doesn’t work, only 94-95, in any version.

I got one with a Gigabit LAN port and unlocked bootloader with rev-a chip from Amazon US in the middle of Oct 2024. The seller’s name was Kinhank Official. You can try your luck there if you are from the US since it is easy to return.

Thanks for this. Can anyone point me to the instructions for moving the data partition to emmc?

A post was merged into an existing topic: Help, support CPM build

You can boot to coreelec using the above instructions.

Thank you to everyone who figured this out!

I restored my V2 that I updated back when the Android update first came out, not realizing it would lock the bootloader.

I was able to do it without soldering and had to try a few times since I had emmc timeout errors but eventually got it working.

Running CoreElec isn’t the problem.
But whichever dtb I try, eth. Capable of speeds of only 100Mbp!

A- Use the latest NG-nightly, as these are the only OS images that can run 1Gb speed. CoreELEC nightly builds
B- Choose the right dtb for the original revision (1Gb version)< go back to post #700
C- The source of internet device (router, modem, switch) and cable must be capable to support the connection speed.
D- provide some info, if I can see any issue from your network equipment.
SSH and type
ethtool eth0
ــــ
ethtool eth0 | grep Speed
ــــ
dmesg | grep eth0
ــــ
dmesg | paste

That dovi.ko doesn’t work for my setup :confused:

DTB,s from post 700 also no boot.

Iam using modded DTB kinhank.
So boots with wifi and Bluetooth both working
No ethernet…

The dovi.ko from my Ugoos loads
During Dolby Vision File Test
TV flags as Dolby Vision
Screen is black,i can hear audio

I must be doing something wrong
Or is there issues with latest nightly. ng??

Any suggestions :thinking:

I made a quick test on latest NG nightly (16-12-2024) and everything works fine.
All DV and FEL test files plays perfectly as expected.
Ethernet OK without any single issue.
I have the dtb for 1Gb revision.

No, except to try installing “CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-21.1-Omega-Generic.img.gz” (from August 22.) If it does not contain needed kinhank dtb.img use one from post 700. If any of those does not work, you have a different hardware revision that is not known to me…

Can you tell us what the serial number of your box starts with? I have one with a rev-a chip and it starts with 24200xx. @kszaboa has one starting with 24600xx for which the original dtb didn’t work I think.

Also did you try the new revision dtb from post 741?

Thanks for the help, now the connection is running above 600.
I also changed the cable and port.
So now it works.

You’re right, mine is 24600xx & is only 100mb & even nfs/smb with high bitrate files struggles where a my minix s922x play it fine.

You have a link to the store on AliExpress?

Yes, there is, but I won’t be able to send it until tomorrow.

Did you try using WiFi ? I’m able to get around 250mbps on iperf with the WiFi 6 router a couple of meters away from the box.

It’s not great but it works ok for high bitrate playback. My iPhone manages to get 500mbps from the same spot.
