AMLOGIC S905X - Inphic SPOT i7 PRO - A product development story...

[Inphic]

Well, we could control the speed by the GPIO port accord to internal temperature, but I am not sure if most of people would accept that noise... we should also test several heatsink configurations.

...and wait for the first samples of S905X motherboard

You could try testing a 12vdc fan @5vdc, still gives a decent breeze but much quieter.

We have tested with some fan and it sounds like a helicopter...

After some testing on a s905. I believe the fan is a really good idea. I am testing the s905 stick and with just a small heat sink it reaches 75 deg Celsius very easily. After turning on fan temp drops really fast and runs about 35-40 always on.

Also I am starting to think 2gb mem is a must. If too many apps r running it gets slugish. Have to manually kill them.

Also lets hope for at least a 2/8 GB unit give room to move, I know this can be a price point for sales to keep it cheap, but as I say give it room to move would be great.

It would good to see the IPX connector on the PCB as mentioned easy to add an external wifi antenna if required.

Maybe a software option when it senses the TV is off only push audio to 3.5mm or with hardware to internal speaker when TV is off. That should be relatively easy. I am playing with a box now that sends a toast message everytime I turn TV on that HDMI is connected

What about a non soldered antenna? Easier to change later if wifi is weak..

Does/Will the 905x support both 2.4 and 5g

Also is it possible to have a 3.5 mm or built in speaker and only push notifications out this speaker and ability to turn on and off. I would be nice to have Skype running all the time and not have to have the tv on to receive a Skype call. hangouts etc. No having to call and say get on Skype ahead of time. Just turn the TV on when you get a call and answer.

SPOT i7 PRO has RGB LED lights. It is been designed to push "color notifications" as a mobile phone

I wait inhipic s912 device

Working on our PCB with Amlogic S905X

There is a connector for a FAN on that place. We are going to do some testings and finally chose if a fan is is a good option for us.

Good news.

Good heatsink/paste, and circulation fan not really required.
A good option if end user wants to fit.

I think it must be easy to add ts1 and ts2 pin out tuner socket. May be wait s912 cpu for c+

S912 supports TS input interface, let's wait
