    [FIRMWARE]
    * Stock firmware (thank's to ollie26 and gor)

    * The Kit-Kat firmware:

    * Linux is working on it using this link:

    It is working but need some tweaks, I'm working on it .

    * The `lsusb` command result (some hardware is missing):
    Code:
    root@yoshi:/tmp# lsusb 
    Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
    Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
    Bus 002 Device 002: ID 1a40:0101 Terminus Technology Inc. 4-Port HUB
    Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0fe6:9700 Kontron (Industrial Computer Source / ICS Advent) DM9601 Fast Ethernet Adapter
    * The Ethernet device is a USB 1.1 to Ethernet converter directly inside the motherboard, not fast enough to stream 1080p movie.

          Update.

          Hey guys. We have a dedicated thread
          Yesterday I got in touch with the seller and I told him my CPU is 1.41ghz and not the 1.8ghz as advertised. He sent me a link to a new firmware IMG and said my CPU should now run at 1.8ghz.
          I can't flash my device for a day or two so I cannot test. But here is the link.



          update_cs918_203j2104_overseas - http://www.bee-link.com/en/article.php?id=104
          ^^ this download very slow. Can someone re-host it if they manage to download it?
          Keep me posted :-)

          Latest firmware is dated 1.1.2014 so it is newer maybe the CPU has been boosted.

            Is the firmware rooted and has 1080p in xbmc? I posted a link above to a newer firmware.
            Maybe someone will be kind enough to make us a custom firmware.

                    You need to use a download manager. The file would fail for me without it.

                      Thanks for the input. Am wanting 1080p in XBMC. That's what I brought this device for. Hopefully the newer firmware will fix this.

                          I received this box yesterday with firmware version 203j2 pre-installed on it. Is this the latest available? Xbmc runs well, I've gotten smooth playback streaming 720p video. I'll try 1080p tonight.

                          Netflix and Youtube have video stutter however, when playing HD and some non HD streams. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

                              Yes that is the latest firmware. Is the firmware rooted and can you select 1080p resolution in XBMC? Also if you download setcpu from Google store it will tell you the CPU core speed. Thanks
