Please give us all a favor and DO NOT BUY ANY X… device!

I would expect support from trying to fix the problem. That can’t be that hard.
could this not be used?

Then please feel free to fix the driver and make a PR, thank you very much for your support.

TheCoolest · 14 October 2021 13:21

The driver was not updated to include IP1001M support.
The only thing you can do is ask box vendor for the source code.

aafroman · 14 October 2021 19:29

Vendor is not responding.

Portisch · 14 October 2021 21:01

Not a big surprise…

joslky · 15 October 2021 05:37

The vendor here told me he would get the IP1001M driver in a few days and bring it to me

joslky · 15 October 2021 06:01

They gave me the file and I uploaded it in MEGA. I cannot say it would work but I’ve tried my best.

Is this dtb usable as dtb.img in the root of CE sd/flash?

joslky · 15 October 2021 06:38

I’m not quite sure. But no worries 'cause I’ve made a contact with the manufacturer (Taiwan IC plus) and they would send the linux driver to me

joslky · 15 October 2021 06:41

Here it comes~ I called IC plus tech support and got this!

Filename is “IP1001M_Linux_v1.0_20130207.tar”

aafroman · 15 October 2021 12:17

Can you please add provided driver to kernel for master branch? Thank you.

Portisch · 16 October 2021 13:16

I am not sure, as the driver already exist:

When we just overwrite it maybe some other users do break…

Borec1 · 16 October 2021 13:35

please try this or at least some devel version for us

aafroman · 16 October 2021 15:14

Please try this or at least some devel version for us. Old version of driver is from 2007, new version is from 2013. I suppose this new version covers every IC+ 1001 chips modifications.

joslky · 17 October 2021 02:06

It could happen to be honest. If necessary I would like to test the new firmware and report anything wrong I encounter.

Borec1 · 18 October 2021 11:26

I tried to overwrite the original driver with the one included, but unfortunately there were errors. it seems that more things depend on the original. It would require more adjustments. I hope someone looks at it.

aafroman · 18 October 2021 14:34

I suppose only Portisch can do this job.

Hi. I’m not good at english.pls understand my english using a translator.

I want to ask about x96 max plus.
I bought x96 max plus not too long ago, and this stuff bothers me. I didn’t know this item was being distributed in multiple versions by changing modules. The version I bought is the ‘x96 max plus2_AI’, but coreelec sd card booting does not work on this version of firmware(x96 max plus2_AI-20210928).
The Ethernet module is ‘IP1001m’, wireless and the bt module is ‘am7256’. Can you help me install coreelec through sd card?
I’ll upload the firmware that I have.

*this link is list of version.

I see that it’s becoming trendy around here.
