I unpacked the archive, the image recording turned out to be 15 GB ????
From what the media were doing way ?

16GB microsd

works perfect here, this is the best use of this box since i purchased it, thanks a bunch.

i follow instructions, login/pass is odroid then you can use "startx" to load the desktop or just use "kodi" to run kodi.

im a bit rusty with my linux but im posting currently from firefox on the minimx and its pretty snappy, best experience so far with it.

i couldnt get a browser to work so i sudo apt-get firefox:armhf and its working great.

need assistance to get audio working with kodi.

1 - use win32image or dd to copy it on sdcard, and inserd sdcard in minimx
2 - unplug minimx power
3 - press reset button under the box and keep it pressed
4 - replug minix power, and wait until minimx first logo image disappear

Well done! At your leisure look at your build. Why such a large image size ? There git source ?

lol... for remote, it was fast :
get this file : https://github.com/surkovalex/OpenEL...te/remote.conf
sudo cp /remote.conf /etc/
sudo remotecfg /etc/remote.conf

for automatic start :
sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/amlogic-remotecfg.service

paste this :
[Unit]
Description=Amlogic IR remote support

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/remotecfg /etc/remote.conf
RemainAfterExit=yes

[Install]
WantedBy=basic.target

then enable:
sudo systemctl enable amlogic-remotecfg

hop ! it works with kodi !

Well done! Perseverance wins.

p/s/ I recommend not to use UUID. Better to use a LABEL when specifying disks. It will be easier to transfer on any media.

thanks for your help !

boot.ini is not taken into account.

to change boot settings :
nano s905_autoscript.txt

you can paste mine :

odroid@odroid64:~$ mkimage -A arm -O linux -T script -C none -d s905_autoscript.txt s905_autoscript

then copy it on sdcard :
odroid@odroid64:~$ cp s905_autoscript /media/boot/
