Later edit: forgot to mention that I used a microSD Sandisk card for testing the .no variant (I will try also to deploy a dual-boot config though cemmc -x command).
Ok, I had some spare time to play with the box BTW it’s the 4GB RAM 32GB nand. .no variant works better than .ne, on Plex add-on from panal and NFS shares. No skipped frames or stutter, nice colors, HDR logo kicks (hdr10 and hlg, DV it’s shady).
NFS worked from the beginning, samba needed a few reboots to get alive.
VFD works also, just don’t activate the extra settings (last tab I think).
Remote conf. works for me, I use a Minix A3 lite anyway.
Speed test in command line went almost to 700 Mpbs, dunno if I have Motorcomm chip.
Didn’t test wifi and bt, I use ethernet, to much noise in that area, even the tv it’s on wired connectivity.
So, until now I’m good with the .no variant, way better for me than .ne, maybe some better drivers and stuff with the new kernel.
Things are going to be fine when the final version will be available! Good job as always, CE Team!
Thanks for that information. I may give that NO another try on my TOX3 box.
I tried it when they first introduced the NO, but not useable at that time.
Tested the wifi - its working: wifi on TOX3
