WOW Amazing! Do you have a TV tuner interfaced as well! We should maybe create a separate thread tilted R89 PVR

No, I just use HDHomerun networked tuners.

One of my main objectives with these boxes is to use them as an inexpensive PVR (personal video recorder) using the gear that I already have. This box is getting soooooo close to matching a stand alone DVR. By programming the buttons from the standard IR remote to my Harmony universal remote, I can use this PVR just like my stand alone DVR. And the Guide is the best I have ever seen or used.

Not to bore you too much, but I just made a YouTube video showing my PVR. I have other videos showing the same thing, but this box is awesome for my purposes.

I have several IR remotes that work! It's just a matter of using the correct remote.conf file.

thats exactly what I do for CSM8 box when I install other s802 devices FWs ...

copying remote.conf to system/etc helps but this time at this location there was no remote.conf to replace and copying the csm8 remote.conf to that directory didnt helped (ticked all permissions)

[Finless]

As far as I know No IR remote posted to the testers ...

I haven't got one either but Tronsmart S89 Remote works or If you got Harmony universal Remote you can load Tronsmart vega s89 profile to your harmony remote thats what I've done...

Nice video! Thanks for sharing.
I really hope that they will send you the missing remote control!

The packaging indicated that there should be one so I don't know if they just forgot to put it in or what. When I do my testing, it will be limited to what I can do with a keyboard and mouse.

Cool,so you didnt pay any penny for the samples?

Nope...I just signed the guy's PDA and he left.

I had the problem after applying the OTA and again after flashing the full (updated) ROM through the flash tool. The only way to get the box working again was to go back to stock. The factory reset was just something I tried, not really related to the problem. But I am somewhat relieved to hear I'm not the only one who has seen this weird behaviour

[clarkss12]

BTW:
at 106k4
Settings -> Backup&rest -> Factory data reset (with 'Erase SD Card')
without any 'screen flashing' problem
Or what do you mean?

Yes, I did a factory data reset on the original ROM, 106k4, a day after I received the box. I did not have the flashing problem that the other person had when he did a factory reset with the stock ROM.

In a very early post there was one set of pins marked as debug uart. I'm currently wondering if this really is the debug uart, as the pins are labled as RX1 and TX1, while uart2 is normally used in all designs as debug uart. If this isn't the debug uart, can you tell me where it is please?

The ChromeOS development ... or general mainline-kernel support has gained a very nice traction. With the current developed 3.17 you can already boot a rk3288 board to a ramdisk. And the next 3.18 will get a lot additional peripherals enabled (mmc, pwm (incl backlight), saradc and we still have time for more).

For debug port,refer to http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.p...-feedback-here

I just got my unit today from DHL which I must say was extremely quick given that I was one of those problem addresses and my shipment was delayed. Also a plus, the DHL guy just dropped it off and didn't ask for a penny so...USA 1, World 0! Just kidding. Anyways, one odd thing was that my box didn't have a remote control in it. The packaging indicated that there should be one so I don't know if they just forgot to put it in or what. When I do my testing, it will be limited to what I can do with a keyboard and mouse.

I've uploaded the world's worst EVER unboxing video if anyone wishes to torture their eyes and ears and check it out. You can see what the box looks like and its general size. It's a fairly large piece of equipment when compared to my Minix X8-H. Unfortunately, this thing came at the worst possible time as I have my board exam to finish medical school coming up on Wednesday and I can't spend too much time with the box until I finish it. I'll try to get a review video of the interface, the hardware performance, and the 4k playback up as soon as I can. In the meantime, if anyone wants to see something specific in the video, let me know and I'll consider it.

Nice video

I just experienced the exact problem of the constant flashing. After Finless and all the other help I received getting my R89 going again, I decided to do a factory refresh (this is using Oman's latest rom 107k4106). After the box rebooted, I got the flashing. The only way I could recover was re-flash the rom. Now everything is good again. I did a factory refresh with the original rom and did not have this problem. So, I would think that this problem of factory refresh is not related to a specific rom, but it is a problem that should be solved.
