Thanks @LVER
I am unable to find that firmware I can only find the ones from the Ugoos website. Any chance you can share?
I too only want to run Coreelec build.
What it does:
- b65e6e49ed: Fri Jan 2 18:15:06 2026 +0100 – Amlogic-no: enable LED in linux config for SK9822 SPI RGB on Ugoos AM9 device (Peter)
?
Should we expect possibility to switch off LED light on AM9 box?
It adds initial control of the LED on this device in active, suspended and shutdown state.
Active color is green, suspend is blue, shutdown is without color.
Will add some more functionality in next version of the driver.
With current implementation it is possible to disable active color from terminal:
echo spidev >/sys/bus/spi/devices/spi2.0/driver_override
echo spi2.0 >/sys/bus/spi/drivers/spidev/bind
(printf '\x00\x00\x00\x00\xe0\x00\x00\x00\x00') | dd of=/dev/spidev2.0
Update: with nightly 20260105 the syntax for changing colors at runtime is
ugoos am9:~ # cat /sys/devices/platform/led/colors/active
active color is 1 00 30 00
ugoos am9:~ # echo "2 10 30 00" >/sys/devices/platform/led/colors/active
ugoos am9:~ # dmesg | tail -n 1
[ 508.058502] sk9822-spi led: active color stored as 2 10 30 00
ugoos am9:~ # cat /sys/devices/platform/led/colors/active
active color is 2 10 30 00
values brightness RR GG BB
brightness 0-9
RR GG BB 00-FF

can anyone say if an android/firmware update on the am9 is now supported or if the problem with decoding video still persists?
I’m using firmware 2.0.6 (latest) with the nightly NO builds, system is working great. Playes all formats I can find.
Audio sync is great.
Using Aeon nox skin, umbrella, slyguy trailers and Australian tv catchup.
Only issues I see are occasional crash when coming back to main menu after watching media, Bluetooth doesn’t work yet.

Bluetooth should work already, check latest nightly.
Hi Boot2k3
I just checked I can pair the remote but the remote is still using IR for control , the led on the remote is red for each button press

I have Ugoos AM9.
Can someone please advise if Bluetooth should be working on the nightly builds?
I am currently using CoreELEC 22.0-Piers_nightly_20260306 on a Ugoos AM9 Pro. Bluetooth works fine there, at least with the Ugoos UR02 remote control.
Hi @Wildpig954
Which remote control are you using?
The Ugoos UR02 can be reset, for example.
I would do that if it was already connected under Android.
If you are also working with a remote.conf for the meson remote, there should only be an entry for “power” in the file.
Hi @Rover
I am using the UR02 and have performed the BT pairing, but the LED on the remote is red for each button press, my understanding is that means it is operating in IR mode.
I do you think I should follow the WIKI for adding BT device?
Hi @Wildpig954,
I would try the following:
- Reset the remote control: Press and hold the “Back” + “Menu” buttons (3 horizontal lines) until the LED on the remote control flashes red once for longer.
- Identify the MAC address of the remote control. It is located behind the battery cover.
- Go to System → CoreELEC → Bluetooth and display nearby devices.
- Activate pairing mode: Press and hold the “Volume up” + “Menu” buttons on the remote control until the LED flashes blue.
- Identify the appropriate device using the MAC address.
- Then connect the remote control via “Secure and Connect.”
That should be all you need to do. Let me know if it worked.

Hi Rover
Thank you for your support/help with this.
Just now I have performed all of the steps you provided.
The Bluetooth menu says my UR02 is connected, but my remote is still using IR to control. If I had the wrong remote.conf would the remote functions be ignored?
Last night I paired my Bluetooth headset to CE and changed the audio output device to Bluetooth audio, it didn’t work either.
Place this file in ‘/storage/config/hwdb.d’ and restart the device.
UgoosUR02.hwdb (546 Bytes)
It must work with Bluetooth.
Hi crazyturk
Thanks for the file, do I need to change the name of the file.
I have copied into place as you said. Rebooted, tried a few things, no joy.
I performed the process that Rover provided.
Still have the IR on my remote being used.
No, use it without changing the name and reconnect the UR02 via Bluetooth.
It works with my AM9 Pro.
