Report about Amlogic S905X4 HK1 RBOX X4

I do not have any issues with passthrough

However my set up us different than yours
Iam using Audio Optic(Toslink) cable to Meredo multi channel Sound Bar
For Audio passthrough only

For video is HDMI cable direct to TV

There are many factors in regards to Audio/Video
Passthrough.

First thing us bypass avr all together
Remove HDMI from back of reciever
Go direct t TV
See if issue exists still

Also make sure you are on Expert in Settings
Using HDMI for passthrough should look something like this

Also can use the search function

Hi. Anyone can check if the device can be wake up from HDMI CEC command selecting source in the TV?
Thanks.

[atomizasser]

I replay myself.
To continue using HDMI CEC you have to “Suspend” the device instead of “Power off”.

Yesterday I received my Vontar X4 4Gb/32Gb unit.
I was doing several tests.
I leave some comments that may be useful to several users:

• The CE 21 NG aarch64 nightly version works well, I expect the wifi that it is slow.
• To make the Wi-Fi work at maximum speed, you must paste these files into the \storage.config\firmware\brcm folder and then restart the computer.
  wifi.rar - MegaUp
  After restarting it connects to 433. The transfer speed tested in iperf3 is around 27-28MB (220 Mbits/sec), enough for UHD movies. (Couldn’t this be included in the usual CE builds? )
• Installation to the EMMC can be done using the CE team tool
• The CE 21 NO aarch64 version nightly wifi does not work.

also experience that.
just last week moved from ng to ne (fresh install)
and with some files getting image stutters
the last video was with DD+ audio

in Audio configure pass-throw
my AVR is old and support only DD and DTS

@atomizasser

The CE 21 NG aarch64 nightly version works well,

don’t you mean 21 NE?

[atomizasser]

Sorry i mean CE 21-NO (new order).
But when i tested wifi didn’t work

[raptor250]

Hello
how do we move to version 21, when version 20 is installed on emmc

[Portisch]

[raptor250]

Hello
when I choose manual update, in the channels, I only have access to kodi 19 and 20

@7Ji

My box finnally delivered and I soldered UART (baudrate is 921600 in case anyone else want to do this), the u-boot log, default env, dmesg and partition layout are too long so I have to paste it on my blog instead

Just to say thank you for the correct baud rate!

It also works for Amlogic S905W2 boxes. I was getting gibberish text before trying your tip.

[raptor250]

Hello
compared to the coreelec22 announcement, this box will be able to officially go there?

[freddy]

Yes
amlogic S905X4 is good to go

[atomizasser]

has anyone tested nightly New Order builds with CE22 branch? I tested some time ago, about 2 months ago but wifi didn’t work.
Thanks

[freddy]

Box is currently in the Field (Friends/Family)

Depending on age of your box/ versions of wifi/bluetooth chipset.

HK1X4
Vontar
Transpeed

There is no driver for bcm 4335 wifi in New Order kernel 5.15.119

Ethernet n Bluetooth will work.
At least they were working awhile ago before CoreELEC 22 NO

Currently box is using NE kernel 5.4.210

I bought this tv bx received yesterday. I want to use with emuelec or Corelec but temperature is 70º with cpu temp is normal?
Where can i download the dtb for emulec for this for the version 4GB 128GB version?

[freddy]

Follow the link
Right above your post

Is triple boot on Hk1x4 S905X4

[unai]

@Portisch

When you use the 4G version it will be set to internal PHY, not external.
The generic dtbs are attached here:

OK for Vontar could be enough
https://discourse.coreelec.org/uploads/short-url/1OdoI7NhXHly4GM8wwPmhYEF5T2.dtb with for my Vontar Amlogic Hk1Box S905 X4, 4g 128ROM.
Wh say the roms is installed in internal memory and not in The SD?
