Amlogic Lollipop SDK released

[stane1983]

Hi,

today Amlogic released first Lollipop SDK for M8 series of devices:

http://openlinux.amlogic.com/Android/Mbox

I still don't have access to code so I don't know how it runs... This is just informational post

That is nice, but only a few people can have access to it, due to NDA. At least I hope they release new kernel "to everyone",because kernel is GPL, so at least a complete kernel should be released I guess (not the full SDK). Of course that assuming that kernel changes version or whatever, because perhaps changes in kernel are minimal, who knows.

I must admit that I am not a big fan of Lollipop though. The UI looks horrible to me.

I talked to Aml engineer today. This SDK uses same kernel (3.10.33) and same uboot as KitKat latest sdk. According to engineer, later this year they will migrate to 3.14 kernel.

About GPL, all you need is here: http://openlinux.amlogic.com:8000/download/ARM/

You have to put it all together. As example, you can take kernel from my github (it is not most recent one):

The ever-charismatic Charbax / Nicolas Charbonnier of ARMDevices recently interviewed the VP of Sales and Marketing forGeniatech, Mike Decker.


Decker says that Amlogic will release an SoC code-named xxx66, which will be integrated into an official Android TV STB named Geniatech ATV1866 to be released in H2 2015. The video mentions Lollipop 5.0 but 5.1 will be rolling out over the next couple of weeks and there may be a newer version still by then. The box will be capable of decoding 2160p60 H.265/HEVC and will feature an HDMI 2.0 output and up to three HDMI (presumably also HDMI 2.0) inputs. I also presume that all four HDMI sockets will deliver and accept an HDCP 2.2-encrypted signal.

I think that @dlangejc might be interested in this as well ( http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.p...l=1#post254034 ).

I'm not sure what your on about...

How to get android5.0 code:
  
  
 [B]2015-01-30[/B]
  
  1)repo init -u ssh://[email protected]/l-amlogic/platform/manifest.git -b l-amlogic
2)repo sync
3)repo init -m  [COLOR=#0000ff]openlinux_l-amlogic_20150130.xml[/COLOR]
4)repo sync

On the whole it seems fairly legit. Now the better question is it as forked-up as say the Crap that MediaTek excretes? Then again is anything as nearly useless then MediaTek Source Code?

I may make the endever to find out shortly. If anything this may be my ticket to porting / compiling CWM on my MXIII (M82 1G/8G AP-6181) Box. Sans that, then TWRP.

As for Lollipop? unless it brings the needed DRMs (or at least emulate them!). So as to get Netflix HD, and Google Play Movies working on that Box... I kinda fail to see the need for it. When so much more Work could be pumped into making the Codecs stronger.

Just 'cause Lollipop is newer. It doesn't make it automatically better. And I for One fail to see how things could get better on Lollipop. For said Device....

About CWM, this might be helpful for you:

https://github.com/Stane1983/android_device_Onda_k12_MA975M8

It's Onda V975m CWM device tree for building against cm11. Onda V975m is M802 tablet. You will need remotecfg binary and remote.conf file which has to be called from init.rc. To get dtb and kernel for your device, run unmkbootimg against boot.img from firmware.

Thanks for the Tip! I sometimes really is he'd this Board had a Thanks Button!

Nice, thanks of thinking of me. Good video and gives us some insight.

I second that. Something about these factory videos that I just can't seem to get enough of

[blunden]

Has anyone heard anything more about this? Has a single manufacturer release a firmware based on this code yet?

not yet, is new for me

[dlangejc]

Well it seems that Geniatech / Mygica is only planning a late release of Lollipop ...
