LibreELEC for Tronsmart MIII Plus

Test version Kripton-17 for s812 (only option for 1 Gbit network). There's a glitch - after writing the image to media, you need to replace the FAT section of the script s805_autoscript the one to be on the website ( download and write to the media instead of the file that is in the image).

I gathered BETA image using the source kernel KSZAQ for the 3.10. Included in the dtb data for multiple devices S812 and S802. Request to the owners of different models S812 and S802 , who have the opportunity to try to run it with the external media. I am interested in the fundamental performance of multivariant dtb data simultaneously for S812 and S802.

1. If You have already started the method of toothpicks on Your TV box, reuse the toothpick is not necessary. After the first time of using the method of toothpicks, multiboot activated and now it is enough to connect a media (SD card or USB flash drive with the image) and the system automatically tries to start.
2. If not going system start up with these images, they not fit to Your model, either the media is faulty.
3. I have a Tronsmart MIII-Plus ver 2.2 . Images from the catalog MIII_Plus work fine. Most likely, You have the ver 2.1 Board model . To check version in settings, about device, where the described version of the firmware installed in Your TV box.
Can you tell me a link to Your TV box wherever You bought it ?

What version of the Board ?

I have tronsmart MXIII plus - 2/16Gb I do not know what else you need to know, or how to get it (tell me and I will get it).
I tried the MXIII-plus and MXIII-G versions from your download area, they did not boot (cannot boot if the sd card is inside - using the toothpick method)

Collected the updated image (20161109).

I know this is a long time since last interaction

I have mxIII-plus, and I cannot get this version to work
Are you still here?
I tried downloading LibreELEC-S812.MXIII_Plus.arm-7.0.2.5_20160907.img - burned it to sd card, and inserted to device.

No matter what I do, when the sd card is In the MXIII device, it will NOT boot (so no multiboot activation),
Has anyone been able to do this on MXIII-plus 16gb?

UART is a special USB module. Online about it a lot of information. Here you can read not a lot of details.

My device is OTT M8S s812 CPU ARMv7 processor rev1(v71), Hardware amlogic Meson8 2G/8G. GPU Mali-450 MP. I update some file in this Website boot OK http://download.drieschel.de/LibreElec/
logo appear is M8S.
I use this website http://amlinux.ru/image/ not work because of boot. Logo appear is M8S+ .I think because U-boot. after that i made SD card can bootable then M8S boot with sd card in slot. If I full out of M8s it can not boot.
my M8S has "guarantee" about 10 months left. You can show me how to connet to M8s by serial over uart. If I have log show. Could you solve this "dualboot" fo my M8S.
You help me so much.

Unfortunately I don't have the device m8s, so I can't conduct all the necessary research and trouble code for this device. You can connect the UART console and to log the boot process on Your device ?
User forum LE wrote that he had, on the same model m8s, the system starts normally. I can only assume that You have differences in hardware or using another firmware that is not compatible with new images LE. Have you tried to check the information from the user LE forum, match up Your TV box or not ?

After You copied the script aml_autoscript on the SD card. Copy to SD card another script (s805_autoscript), at this link. Insert the SD card in the turned off TV box. Press and hold the toothpick RESET button. Turn on the power for TV set-top box. Must occur to activate the multi-boot and to start LE.
