Why you enable this?
debug_enable = 1

Updated… my previous commnet was incorrect
1 is actually debug disabled

Do you know where’s remote.conf on Android system?
I try \android\etc but didn’t find.
Do you original file from android?

I used the meson-ir as a starting point as the button assignments are as you visually scan the remote downwards i.e in order.
Then converted to Krypton and used the key assignments from revolution6 e.g 0x40 116 # POWER - changed couple of names

I don’t know where the android file is
However I found some info

https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-stick–console-computers/amlogic/how-to-setup-remote-android-firmware-t3813484/page2

# debug_enable 0 :debug disable 1 :debug disable

I found files with it enabled / disable… I’ll correct my previous post & delete the file - original files are correct

Added a 4" fan running off the 5v jack to the bottom of my P2 and I have steady 45C.
A bit noisier than I would like but will probably upgrade the fan to a more silent model.

Picture please to see your final work :slight_smile:

There is a 3 inch hole cut in the bottom of the case and the pathetic heat spreader is now glued to the RAM and SOC.

Notice the wifi dongle, the onboard wifi and bt are not enabled in the -ng builds, though this maybe rectified soon as they are available.

@Shoog are you talking about the P2 Gigabit models? Bluetooth is working OK for me with my P2 4/64GB P2 X96 Air with current -ng nightly builds. I’m using a PS3 Bluetooth Blu-ray remote as my main remote using the internal Bluetooth.

Mine is not gigabit.

Ah - I thought this thread was for P2 (and P3) Gigabit models?

Received my X96Air P2 on Thursday and successfully booted CoreELEC on the same day by following the instructions on the OP, remote, bl301, config.ini, vfd.conf etc . Many thanks. I used the remote control that came with the TV box but now switched to Logitech Harmony 665 by following instructions given by adamg in another thread.

My question now is, when I power the X96Air up, unlike my Tanix TX3 mini (S905X not the new one with S905X3), VFD shows nothing until after 6 or 8 seconds then the clock pop up. On my TX3 mini, when I power it up with the remote, it shows ‘boot’ on the VFD. It makes me feel better as there is no power indicator on the TV box. For 6 or 8 second, I have no idea whether I really power it on.

Is ‘boot’ on VFD controlled by vfd.conf or the bootloader? I didn’t need to use bl301 to change the bootloader on the TX3 mini. Does it mean the bootloader of Tanix better than the X96Air?

Idk…But I’d like to know if possible.
Ask for support on bl301 or VFD topics.
Sorry…

Received my X96 Air P2 4/64 yesterday.

  • Cooling/Airflow mod - check!
  • Classic Android 9 installed - check!
  • CoreELEC installed in dual boot mode to eMMc - check!
  • bl301 mod installed - check!
  • VFD config - check!
  • remote config - check!
  • BT/WiFi/GigabitLAN working as expected - check!

:metal: Murmaider, murmaider, murmaider… !

:grin:
Now,
how to reboot from eMMc Android 9 to CoreELEC on eMMc,
apart from any “toothpick” manual methods?
“adb reboot update” goes to recovery mode.
“LibreELEC” apk also.

Any ideas?

TIA

Just reboot or unplug power when in Android. On next boot it will load CoreELEC again.
No need to reset anything.

Where do i find the gigabit model?

Probably that’s the case, many of this devices are similar, no VFD until after the boot.

Same place, where all “X96 Air” are coming from.
Beware, the GigabitLAN is advertised to be only on (some) 4/32 and all 4/64 versions.

@Portisch,
thanks. Simple as that, and I’m stupid after all those years not to try it…

Did you try this?

Did you even read the whole post… ?
