[S922X] X88 King

[amirul]

Hi everyone,
Been in the Armbian TV Box forums, thought I’d join in here

My adventure with X88 King:
Downloaded 20200413 Generic nightly, extract, burn img to sdcard.
Copied x88 dtb from device tree folder to dtb.img
Successful boot, USB works!
However ethernet fails to get ip from dhcp server
Any suggestions?

Are you able to successfully assign a manual IP address?

[amirul]

Ok manual setting of ip works thanks

[amirul]

How about the remote, working for anyone? Mine does not

[Compent]

If you go here there are a couple of threads about how to configure remotes.

[amirul]

Followed instructions from here
Made keymap, success thanks

[mark1978]

@amirul could you upload the files for the x88 king remote?

[amirul]

Here you go
x88king_keymap (485 Bytes)

[mark1978]

@amirul is it the purpose to put the file in the config folder then use the inject_bl301 feature? And it’s working.

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but I can’t handle this pilot and I’m probably making a mistake but I don’t know where. I pasted these files into my place and it looks like this

Shouldn’t the filename be “rc_maps.cfg”?
Anyhow, looks like you are mixing meson-IR & amlremote operation…
Follow this guide:

How to configure IR remote control

IR remote controls can be configured in 1 of 2 ways in CoreELEC, both are detailed in this guide below. meson-ir meson-ir allows you to use almost any IR remote controller to control your device. CoreELEC uses meson-ir by default and our builds come with a limited selection of IR remote configurations for devices built in. If your remote does not work then you will need to follow the below instructions to create a config and get it working. Firstly you must SSH into your device and then Kod…

metodą meson-ir . unfortunately the remote still doesn’t work

[rho-bot]

Delete your files & start from scratch, as decribed in the Guide.
As you go with meson-IR, skip the amlremote section
Basically:

• stop services by SSH
• Download the table from amirul & store it under /storage/.config/rc_keymaps/x88king_keymap (file without extension!)
• Create file /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg with content meson-ir * x88king_keymap
• start services by SSH
  Skip the ir-keytable step, as you already have the file from amirul.
  Good luck!

I do not know why I could not before but at the moment I was able to run the original remote control but half the success because the volume keys still do not work. I had the same effect without uploading x88king_keymap on the purchased remote control.

made a remote.conf for the x88 king: remote.conf (2.1 KB)

[artpaw]

Do I just not have the + - volume keys working? After turning off the X88 king, USB does not work, so you cannot turn it on with an additional remote control

[mark1978]

the volume keys look a bit like they’re on both sides of the remote. Usb does work with 9.2.2. Here’s the repo for the remote.conf.

[bubblegum57]

The volume buttons on the right hand side of the remote, are for learning key presses from your tv.

[artpaw]

ok thank you, i had a bad remote conf

edit/

I enjoyed only 5 min. The buttons work until I enter any submenu from that moment they do not work and I have no idea where the error lies

[mark1978]

maybe remove the remotesample file from /configfiles , or update your ce version.
