Kinhank G1

why no signal for “RX” On CE?

No one has this answer yet.

I don’t know, but I think the reason there is a bridge between the ethernet and wifi? so if we fix wifi, ethernet have signal ?

Another Try:
sc2_s905x4_kinhank_g1_4g_v3.dtb
EDIT: Link removed, use official dtb provided by CE

Try Amlogic.no instead of Amlogic.ne. It’s worth a shot.

I have no more idea how to fix ethernet on this device.
It just wont work. Without schematic or info about the changes in the driver we can just guess what is wrong.

Somebody (Chinese language speaking) will need to kick the vendor to provide infos about the changes. We don’t need the full sources, only the changes they made to get it working.

i try it = same issue

I just found the android dmesg and wifi uses pci. Will test this tomorrow.

Ethuses rgmii but only 100mbit

Wifi started to work to but the driver needs a bit more work…

With newest driver from Amlogic-NO Wifi does work to:

Very nice!
Are the new fixes included in the nightly NO version?

Is there a hack for Ethernet to support 1000M?
or limit hardware 100M ?

I guess it’s bad design of PCB, so only 100MBit max.

i have internet 100m
result speed test : 97m via eth
& 93m via wifi 5g

If all is good tomorrow CE-21 nightly 20240413 should support Kinhank/Orbsmart G1 by the new DTB sc2_s905x4_kinhank_g1.dtb.

It will have full support of Ethernet 100MBit and Wifi as well. Dolby Vision (no FEL) do work out of the box.

Please give a donate to CoreELEC by click on the Ads, thx!

Thínk Íou for the working Ethernet network adaptation. It is working on Amlogic.no. However wifi and bluetooth is not working on .NO. Is it working on Amlogic.ng or it is a work in progress?

Use Amlogic-ne for now. Amlogic-no is currently not a good choice as the WiFi driver and Dolby Vision does not work because of a missing compatible dovi.ko for Amlogic-no.

I am using Coreelec 21 version NE, may I ask why my wireless and Bluetooth cannot be driven.
