Currently Hardkernel ODROID-C5, others will probably follow when devices will be available.

Anybody had any luck with a X88 PRO X5M box?
I’m using the generic image and have tried all 4 of the s7d dtb files. I’ve tried both USB sticks and SD Cards but I just can’t get CoreELEC to start the install.
I’ve tried all methods, reset button, Android terminal reboot update, adb reboot update, even the Reboot to CoreELEC app.
All I can ever get it to do is bring up the Android recovery menu.
We’re waiting on some samples from vendors that launched the device but nothing came through yet. It’s easy to get support, contact your vendor and ask them to reach us at team@coreelec.org

I’d like to ask some vendors by dropping an email, would you be able to list what boxes you see vendors shipping samples to you already, then the vendors or boxes that are not in the list, we can send emails.
All vendors already had contact with CE team in the past. I would assume they would reach again to CE team when new devices are made to support them easily and faster. But seems this is just my point of view 
For example: at least they could send us the changes in their DTB. But instead decompiled DTS needs to be compared to find the missing pieces. And when not having device to directly test: I just pass this such work.

Is Dolby Vision supported with Odroid C5 ?
I would like to replace my Odroid C4 with something that supports DV
While the S905X5M chip does have the option for DV I don’t think the C5 has the necessary license and only supports HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG

I didn’t know none business people buy stuff from Alibaba, the prices are cheaper than AliExpress, I’ve listed the X88 PRO X5M above for $28.50
maybe that’s a price for new members? the X88 is top 12 in set top boxes sold
here is a list
also got reviews for the X88 PRO X5M
crazyturk if your planning on dual booting ,slimbox has a fireware out for this
also I think you’ll need to add better heatsink in that box, it’s going to overheat and crash as reported in reddit
I noticed some some work on the bl301 for the C5. In the future will it be able to wake the bootloader by IR like a few other CE devices. I know some devices are programmable and some are hardcoded but it is a feature I like.
To answer my own question, the nightly for the C5 did enable IR remote power up so now I have to test it with some of my remotes. Thanks once again CE Team.
Edit: Yes it works but I didn’t test a custom code. To use a custom code I had to do an update to force
Updating u-boot on /dev/mmcblk1 with Odroid_C5_u-boot…

Here is the dtb pulled from an X88 Pro X5M. I’m happy to make some mods and test, but there’s some significant differences from the generic s7d_4g_gig and I’m really not sure what I would need to resolve to even get past the splash screen.
x88.dtb.zip (20.1 KB)
Start working …
Is there some way to get a console in the bootloader, or would I have to get to the board and figure out where the UART is at?
This will takes looooong time 
Obviously you connect UART adapter to the board by wires
Yeah, Ok. It took me more than 3 minutes to find my screwdriver Got it hooked up now.
Which of the devices with SOC S7D S905X5M are supported with CE.

Today I tried the CoreELEC-Amlogic-no.aarch64-22.0-Piers_nightly_20250717-Generic on a X88 Pro X5M that already had the slimBOXtv firmware and didn’t work.
