Nightly builds (NEW)

You are both right. The heat dissipated by the processor must somehow be transferred to the air in the end. This can be achieved by strong current and small radiators or with radiators with large surface area of radiation and no longer need a strong fan, just a wind breeze.
The water cooling systems do exactly the same thing, the water is heated by the processor, then it is cooled by air through a radiator.

Technically maybe not but practically it is.
The problem could be the like this:

Hello,

I got tp-link t4u wifi card (RTL8812AU), it was running fime till 2020.02.26 nigtly. On this release acted vey poorly. on latest nigtly it doesn’t work at all… (it still visible when issuing lsusb throuhg ssh). So last correctly working nightly for this is 25.02. Was the support removed from the kernel on newer ones?

Support wasn’t removed. The driver was updated on the 26, so that would probably account for the first change in behavior.

Which device do you have?

GT King rev a.
26th buil - it kinda worked but about 3 times slower, on last nightly it doesn’t work at all.

Hi all. I am new here, nice to meet you all. I have just bought a X96 Max S905X2 4/32GB and LAN 1000Mb. Now I am about to try flashing the Nightly build on my Micro SD card but I am confused about which version to flash: “CoreELEC-Amlogic.arm-9.2-nightly_20200302-Generic.img.gz” or “CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-9.2-nightly_20200302-Generic.img.gz”. So can you help me which version is better for my device and what are the differences between the 2? Thank you :blush:

You need the ng version.
The main difference is that one is running on your box the other doesn’t.

Hello jaffac,
did you get this working? Unfortunately I experience the same issue.

Yes. My option is to start again. Download update.img and install to mmc with amlogic burn software. Then you download latest nightly tar file and move to update folder on mmc… Reboot.

Thanks!
That worked :slight_smile:

FYI: I changed WOL to be disabled by default. So if you use WOL and didn’t explicit enable it in CoreELEC/settings/hardware please do so since nightly 20200305.

WOL needs to be disabled as default as maybe on some devices with not proper coded bootloader random wake up will happen. Also it will lower power loss in supend/power off state if WOL is disabled :wink:

I have a X96 Max S905X2 4/32GB and Gigabit LAN. I have installed the newest nighly yesterday and using the correct s905x2_4g_1gb dtb. But I have a problem of can’t use the internet with Ethernet, even though in the connection setting, I can see and connect to the Wired setting with State shows ready. Wifi works fine and quite fast too. I have tried the ethernet on Android and it works perfectly. Is there any extra setting I have to do to make Ethernet work?

Try the dtb without 1 gb
Have you renamed the initial one to dtb.img

How do I enable “cron”?

I have renamed it to dtb.img from the beginning. And I checked the ethernet speed in Android, it reaches 900Mb/s so it’s the 1Gb ethernet version for sure…

As you can see service is already enabled (from CoreELEC settings). Now you need to add some job to it. But be careful: this is busybox cron with little different options.

crontab -e

Sorry, I’m stupid, I get it. It would be good to add " anacron".
