CX919II - bought from ibood, 17 november

Cool, nice to hear you got a self compiled kernel booting. Which rockchip repo do you mean ? url?
I had a look at the rockchip-3.0 but it seems that they gather patches here and there and then merge it into the kernel. which also leads to our rk3188T's to have their max cpu clock standard, set to 1.4

Thats the one. I built from the wip/mk802iv_ap6210 branch initially, but will pull from the master tonight and give that a whirl. The current source includes significant DVFS changes which are absent from all the other repos on Github, some of which are particular to the T variant.

my main reason to get a kernel compiled is that the amount of usb drivers that is included is just ridiculously small. I don't see any way of getting a webcam or scanner attached and working, since there is no kernel module... unless the application does the usb driving.... urgh. might as well go back to an old zx80.

LOL, I'm doing the opposite; removing device support and adding Netfilter modules, crypto patches, VLAN support etc.

Also, since our stick does not in any way have a real camera integrated into it's package... why is the software for it in the kernel, reserving memory, occupying resources.... since, I doubt that any one will actually buy a camera and solder it to the chip....

Yep. The camera also requires ION. Not sure whether GPU requires it, too. But should be possible to strip both out. Omegamoon removed camera support succesfully, at least.

There were a few other things that were nagging at me, luckily I forgot.

It's definitely one of those devices - lots of niggles. Let me know if you a repo throwing up, but all that's required are a few small GPIO adjustments and minor config changes... In short, it works... kinda!

For those who are interested, this is the manufacterer's site from where you can download the original firmware. The 4.4 Kitkat should be coming soon...

I almost thought cyxtech had honoured their license obligations for a moment there...

http://www.cyxtech.com/ is the manufacturer's site should anyone wish to prod them about about a source drop.

Forget about that being the manufacturer site. It's just some dealer, distributor, another middle man in the chain, which has a webpage which lists some stock firmware for devices they sell, which, makes the end users a little less frustrated when they have to go look around for the firmware...

anyway,
thanks and greetz.

ps. wouldn't it be nice if someone would mirror that information and expand upon it, and leaving the originals untouched.

Just a quick FYI... I added the current Mali kernel driver from November to the current Rockchip kernel source and it build without problems. Not that I need Mali for a server setup, but I was curious...

Ok, I'm a bit of a noob in these things ...
I also have the CX 919 II from iBood
I don't get 1080p but only 720

In short what do I have to do to make it work ? :-)

ok, personally I feel this is a pretty silly question, yet I do not have a working 1080p monitor myself at the moment, so to give a silly answer.... :-)

Go to android Settings, Display and choose the 1080p 60 or 50hz resolution.

I'm assuming you already tried this.... and if that's true, then I can't give you any answer at this moment.

Some Serial Port Info

As mentioned in the first post, there is a serial port present on the stick. between the sd card slot and the pushbutton, where there are three solder pads.

http://hwswbits.blogspot.be/2013/07/serial-console-mod-for-rk3188-stick.html

That site shows a little bit of info, on where and what, Read carefully!

This show the three solder pads, from the push button to the sd card, there is Ground, Transmit, and Receive, (GND, Txd, Rxd) This is a 3.3v logic serial port interface. You'll need a USB-to-Serial converter to connect to this.


You can use something like this....

or, if you have an old CellPhone, GSM, for which you have the data cable, and it uses USB. Then you might be able to salvage it, and re-use it for the sticks serial port.

It looks a lot like this
for reference : http://buffalo.nas-central.org/index...M9_Linkstation

Which amounts to COM port in use for USB data cable (ea COM4), speed set to 115200, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, xon/xoff

I don't aim for 1080p myself (hooked it up to a 720p TV anyway)... but I managed to get the Finless 2.0 beta running on the Ibood stick with the combination explained here:

- Finless Beta 2.0 ROM (From this thread)
- AP6210-J22 kernel SD for the T model from the Kitkat Kernels for all thread: http://www.freak-tab.de/d33/AP6210-J22_v207.zip
- Bob's boot.img patch (without it would hang at a Finless 1.7 / minix splash screen)

The NPO app now runs smoothly without any hickups.
