Hello,
My X96 Air 4/32 arrived. Its P3. Guides for P2 are valid for P3 as well.
I didnt bother with finding woodstick for button, I just tried Reboot to LibreELEC_v1.1_apkpure.com.apk and it works very nice.
I am happy to confirm, it boots from USB. I just used back USB port with CE nightly-ng image, + .apk for android there. Boot normally, then install app in stock Android 9, Run it, and then CE from USB booted correctly.
I will buy another USB stick to final setup, as I use my USB just for test I can confirm that in nightly ng 16.1.2020:
- BL301 injection - works (at least wake up by remote)
- IR receiver - works
- VFD works - works
- Wifi works (2.4 tested) - works
- LAN works - works
- 4K content - works
- Automatic Frame switching - works
- Boot from USB flashdrive - works, used back USB port and Android .APK method to booting CE
- Bluetooth - doesnt work
Not tested yet
- HDR content
- DVB-T2 driver for MN88973 Panasonic
- HDMI passthrough DTS(HD)/DD/Atmos
- included remote - I am using own remote.
From HW perspective, before I plugged in I look into a box, as I was worried about temperature reports here. First thing is, board is upside down (ie. heatsing on the bottom of the box). So I drilled some holes (give some air to Air), and also prepare one bigger, if I would want to add external heatsink (propably I will and put box upside down to 4 stands sticked to the “top”).
After 15minutes 1980/23,976Hz (TV) temperature is around 53°C, with heatsing a bit warm. Thats 17°C more (!!) than I am used to be with Rpi2/C2 in idle, so I maybe I will look around for some piece of allumunium I guess. Hopefully this will be just 905x3 problem, and not some issue within NG… On the 3.14 C2 Ive got 36 in idle, with Rpi2 35 idle.
