[S922X] Bee-link GT King

Can the S922x handle the AV1 codec?

It has no hardware decoding for AV1, however it’s a fast enough device that it can easily software decode 1080p AV1 files.

Hi all,

I have CE running as main system on my GT King emmc dual boot. It works very nicely.

From time to time I see a firmware update in Beelink site. Is it recommended to do the Beelink updates though I am never using the Android system?

Help me. My beelink gt king has big red screen when boot Then the screen crashes and cannot enter CE. This happened when I installed ce matrix and before that I did not suffer in ce leia

Please be sure the TV is powered before the CE device. Also do a clean fresh install.

And again, no log, no problems…

thanks portish so much i will try clean fresh install with other sd card and make sure to turn on the tv before turning on my beelink gt king :grinning: :+1:

after clean install I keep the TV on and try to turn off my ce and turn it on but when I turn it on I still have a big red screen hanging up, I can only boot into ce then if I ssh come to my beelink gt king with reboot command and the functions on the controller at that time are not effective. I have this problem every time I boot ce, but if I am using it I can shutdown or restart completely normally …
this problem does not happen on ce leia only appears from the matrix

which exact gt-king is it (and which rev) and which dtb do you use?

My beelink gt king is rev b …i used dtb g12b_s922x_beelink_gt_king
ce matrix does not have version a for gt king, only one dtb version. and I have chosen the correct version of myself like ce leia

Please SSH into the device when it shows red screen:

dmesg | paste
ce-debug

Please show us debug logs.
If you don’t have internet record your SSH output and use these commands:

dmesg
ce-debug -l

I asked because my gt king matrix works. So some aspects may differ for you and me.
Like: it seems I have rev a …
CoreGT:~ # dmesg | grep g12b_s922x
[ 0.000000@0] CoreELEC dt-id: g12b_s922x_beelink_gt_king_rev_a
Also, I upgraded leia to matrix via tar in ~/.update (i.e: not a clean install).
And, I run CE from eMMC.
It would be nice if anyone else with rev b can comment and compare.

for BEELINK GT KING PRO

it is difficult to use the device with 2 systems , it boots directly to coreelec , then if you need to boot to android you have to
pick to boot from android and restart the device

is there any way to have a sort of boot screen that gives you a choice if you want to boot from SD card or from EMMC ?
with a timer if the user did not pick a booting method ( let say one minute ) it boots directly to the SD by default
something like what we used to do before with computers if you have 2 installed versions of of windows

any ideas ??

No.

Priority:
uSD
USB
eMMC

I have ssh into my device when it shows red screen …and this is my debug log
dmesg:
http://ix.io/2VY5
and ce-log:
http://ix.io/2VY7

Thank you very much for the suggestion … I encountered this problem since I clean install ce matrix but before when using ce leia I do not have this problem when install ce leia … you update me clean install, is my problem here ??? … but besides that i have x96 air device and i also clean install ce matrix but my x96air is working normally and my gt King is like that :fearful: :sweat: :sweat: :anguished: :anguished:
my gt king run CE matrix on sandisk extreme pro 64gb u3 A2 V30 not from eMMC

there is a lot of differences

  • CoreELEC dt-id: g12b_s922x_beelink_gt_king in dmesg
  • run from SSD versus eMMC
  • upgrade clean versus from Leia

I would suggest, try run Leia from (test) SSD and look at dt-id in dmesg
Upgrade that test Leia to Matrix and see what gives.

Also, eventually moving to eMMC may also help.

But, perhaps issue is rev b versus rev a, then, testimonials from other rev b users is much more relevant than suggestions from rev a users.

Note that booting major different systems major different ways may perhaps need ‘toothpick’ or other special tricks on some devices.

I have tried clean install CE leia and then updated the tar file to the CE matrix like you but the result is still not much different … maybe now I only have the last way to try it is to install the ce matrix nightly :joy::joy:

:joy: :joy:

Seems like rev_a versus rev_b may be your main difference?
Did Leia dmesg show rev_b ?
If so, similar rev_b testimonials could confirm matrix issue …
Thanks for your personal experience, I was about to buy a gt-king for someone but now I hesitate,

Most of the sample GT-Kings the team got were rwvB and the problem isn’t happening in our side. Can you check what’s the android firmware you have currently?
