Djdram ... the hdmi2.0a , comes directly from the cpu ...

As you can see https://www.96rocks.com/blog/2020/10...66-highlights/

There is no difference , no pin out difference , between hdmi 1.4 , 2.0 20.a 20.b or 2.1

the difference between the versions are the data transferred and different specs ... the only difference between hdmi 2.0 and 2.0a , is the introduction of HDR

60hz was introduced on 2.0

you guys talk about a soldering issue ... if I was you I would open the box and look through a magnifying glass if there is any solder issue where the hdmi port is soldered ...

if you see 2 pins soldered together , or missing solder , you can take a picture and have your device switched

Hdmi 2.0 and hdmi 1.4 pin out is the same ....

cables , are different ... ports are the same ...

just like Ethernet .... 10/10/1000 Ethernet ports are the same ... but the cable you use sets the speed ...

edit: .... actually , after looking at the hdmi pin out .... I am sorry to tell you .... but naaahh. .... a soldering issue doesn’t exactly make a device not use a specific rate ...

that’s not how hdmi works ... this hdmi pin out ....

Well..that sucks
How to know..if you have one or the other?
What if you wish to buy a unit...people just have to gamble?
What is the return policy of the vendor?

Seems this vendor..is going on my short blacklist

[djdram]

There is a suspicion that they economize on HDMI in some batches

Everywhere in the specifications, HDMI 2.0a is declared,

but it looks like in H96MAX RK3566 it is installed selectively (1.4 or 2.0)

Djdram , I saw your post on 4pda , I just can’t type the Russian captcha or Russian to type there ... but I am a reader

the bottom toolbar is not from the launcher , is part of hk1 firmware , even when using a different launcher , the bottom toolbar appears

after opening different devices Imgs ... took from each apks ... sadly , none have yet any 3rd party player working with rk libs ... not even kodi , but it works ( for me)

got kdplayer from one device , is the only one with PVR enabled , that makes my IPTV work great ... in some cases I use TvhClient and make it choose the device legacy player which is using HARDWARE ... in some cases it makes huge difference ...

watching the 4K hdr webm file with legacy player ... cpu usage was 1 , 2% .... nothing compared to 30% when using the other players (software) ...

I am not familiar with building firmwares , but ... all the tools are available ... rk android tool handles update.zip files i think ... and can be customized

dtd for each device are inside each firmware IMG files , I extracted the one for my device and de compiled to text to use with source ...

android source , and rockchip sources are all on GitHub ... if I had the time ......

in the other hand .. this is a new chip and new devices are popping out using it ... even SBC ... and there is even Ubuntu for it already. ... it’s just a matter of using the right dtd when building the image ... and having a way to test new images ... say boot from sdcard 1st. ...

a few months from now I guess it will be all available .... I hope

Does anyone have this mode in Device Preferences - Display - HDMI - Resolution - 3840x2160p60.00 (4k60p) on H96MAX RK3566?

[djdram]

I'm not sure if H96MAX RK3566 and HK1 RBOX R2 are made by the same factory

but you can try these public contacts - factory and seller
+86 178 4090 1693
+86 137 1068 7252
+86 130 6691 3062
+86 188 9877 9885

[Trigu75]

Never got any response from the factory , can you send me on private the factory contact? I want to compile codi to suppor real hardware decoding ‘ hdr

I got the images from the seller on AliExpress that sold the box , but it’s me having to send them a message every few months ... not ideal

[djdram]

still no clear definitive response
where 4K/60?? and plus HDR as well

4k60p firmware public not, but it is, since this mode is on the video

[djdram]

Where do you keep a check on the updates?

Where , how are you getting all these ... I want for my box

I receive firmware from sellers and from the factory
