X96 X4 - S905X4 based box - any success?

Do you mean using dmesg in SSH?

Yes
Use wifi ip address in Putty/Kitty

**When i first set box up
I create 2 desktop shortcuts
One with wifi ip
The other with eth ip

Then in Kodi/CoreELEC i go to File
Ans add source

Team CoreELEC can do nothing without logs.

Follow the guide from Home page

** apologies for the confusion/desktop shortcut has nothing to do with Putty Sessions.
That is only my Method of Madness

Happy Testing

Did you try using the NE version of Coreelec? The NG version does not work. I have installed the NE version to emmc and then downgraded to the NG version of Coreelec 20 rc2.

Everything is going well today

with CoreElec NE 20, eth0 automatically connect to the internet at 1000mbps.

install on eMMC in single mode OK

Thank you CE team and everyone who commented.

There is some issue with analog audio output.
When i put a stereo 3.5mm headphone jack into the AV port,
i can hear stereo while on android at same time from TV speakers and from headphones/ analog speakers, but not on coreelec ng nightly 20 (recent version from yesterday),
even if i set audio output to analog audio out 2ch.
But also HDMI audio then is off, so no sound at all.

This is no problem, as i could set up additional speakers to tv audio ouput,
but at same time it is something not working ok.

Why everybody think we have a glass bowl where we search for the needed data?

Does analog audio out on AV port works on any other generic S905x4 device?

Maybe?

So i did a clean fresh install of nightly ng 20, on my X96-x4 4GB/64GB 1Gb HW.rev 1.3.
I switched audio output to analog out, where headphone was attached on AV-port, and lost sound output on TV via HDMI, but also did not get sound on headphone.
Then i started internet radio stream, but it locked up the UI,
I did paste first log: dmesg http://ix.io/4lKF , and i restarted via ssh reboot.
After restart there was sound output first on TV, not on AV-port, but then it also stopped again.
I did paste the other logs: log http://ix.io/4lKJ , crash http://ix.io/4lKK , dbginfo http://ix.io/4lKL
screenshot about audio settings:

same error of install to emmc in dual boot w/ Android 11 at my side. any resolution to fix it out?

On coreelec 19.5 and 20.0, the LAN port starts at 1000 Mbit. After it works and warms up (70C, cpu), if I reboot with the power off, the box connects to 1000 but cannot get an address and does not work. If I forcibly connect it to 100mbit, it starts working, but accumulates errors on the switch port (Rx MAC Errors, Rx FCS Errors, Rx Fragments) . If I turn it off and turn it on again like this, if I turn it off and wait for it to cool down for 4-5 minutes and then it works again at 1000mbit. On Android it always works at 1000Mbit.

How hot does it get, also does it show “retr” errors in iperf3?
Portisch would probably say, you need to post some logs.

This X96x4 has a problem with 1Gb ethernet port in CoreElec 19.5, only CE 20 NE supports 1gb on this device.

It is not clear to me

in CE or in NE? (I think NE)

would be download from this link

https://relkai.coreelec.org/?dir=Amlogic-ne/ce-20

which one exactly? the one called

CoreELEC-Amlogic-ne.arm-20.1-Nexus_nightly_20230219-Generic.img.gz

What is NE and Generic?

118 / 5.000

and the wifi network card works correctly, at the time it was not recognized for me, I have a comment above

what was the command to install in the rom?

Thanks in advance

I use https://relkai.coreelec.org/Amlogic-ng/ce-20/CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-20.1-Nexus_nightly_20230219-Generic.img.gz with this device.

No need to replace the dtb.img ?

does it work well over wifi?

I have tried with the 2 versions, with the NG and the NE

dumping the 1Gb .dtb and the one that is not 1 Gb and every time I get the error of

ceemmc -x, selected single boot, I got this message:
“Install in single boot mode not possible

Any idea ?

nor ng or ne of nightly / latest build supports s905x4 based device w/ android 11 to install build in emmc. that’s why you encounted the error message “seemmc -x = Error:”

You might got a S905X4 device with old 2015 bootloader.
Find a Android image with 2019 u-boot bootloader or buy supported hardware…
