[ROM] Unofficial OpenELEC for MK808B+ and MXQ

[kostaman]

Hello kszaq . I finally could test the release 6.95.2.1.
CEC is now being reconized by my LG TV, but there were some side effects. Sometimes I send a command by TV over CEC, and the command is not recognized, but it seems to remain buffered by OpenELEC. So, in the next command, it executes the previous command, and again buffers the new command. It may explain the erract navigation described by kostaman , because you press left, and it is not executed, then you press right, and the left is executed, next you press down, and right is executed, and so on...
I also tested the test kernel you just posted, but then CEC is not recognized anymore.

Fixed my issues. Did you try my settings in CEC. ?

Hey kostaman, it worked. Thanks!

Hey kostaman, it worked. Thanks!

kszaq That is a good thing. I've let K know it worked for me so worked for you will definitely help.
Beware if you use SUSPEND CEC will not work until you power off or reboot.
By Disabling suspend when TV is powered off in the CEC settings eliminates this.

Did u ever figure out why no sound??

no solution , I have replaced the devices tree but it will not boot openelec
maybe my problem in the kernel driver HDMI

Hello, everyone
Does any one know if there is a way to force all black mxq use 1920x1080 @ 50fps? I have only 60fps available. Have the option "adjust refresh rate" on, however 50fps videos doesn't play as smooth as other devices running openelec. I have the same box as @kiwi_man82. Thanks for the support of this boxes, 6.95.2.1 seems to work.

Guys, please help. Can't find any solution in the internet. Is it a hardware limitation?

Not in relation to your fps question but I have one for you, does your box use all 1gb of ram or it is like mine and only use 512MB? If it does would mind backing up your android system so I can try flashing your backup to my box to see if it fixes my issue of only using half the ram available. I haven't tried kszaq's new kernel yet. Hope to try that tomorrow when I get sone spare time

I have problem running 6.95.2.1 on HD18Q. After NAND install device is restarting after MXQ logo. 6.95.1.3 boot ok.

I compiled a new kernel for 6.95.2.1 with 2 changes: a different take on CEC driver (this is for kostaman) and deleted 512MB device tree (for @kiwi_man82). Here's how to test it safely - I assume you are using SD card to boot OE:

• rename kernel.img on your SD card to something else, like kernel.img.bak
• download the new kernel: http://s805.eu/test/6.95.2.1-hd18q-cec-take2/kernel.img and put on on SD card
• put SD card back to the box and test!

If it does not work, simply delete the newly downloaded kernel and rename the old one back to kernel.img. I appreciate your feedback!

Hi kszaq

here is a log file for a v3_1 untouched board with 6.95.21 running from sd card if this helps just going to do the same for the newer kernel and will attach the logs.
log-2016-04-12-09.19.15.zip

[fanni2]

Right have just tried the new kernel on a V3_1 board and it just loops on the mxq logo

[fanni2]

Still cant get 6.95.21 or 6.0.3.1 to instal to the nand both run fine from the sd card but when trying to instal to nand it just hangs on the mxq logo and refuses to do anything.

If you need anymore logs let me know i'm about most of the day

send me your email in private message and I will send you the img and update firmware.

If you can't select 50Hz it means that your box thinks your display is not capable of displaying 50Hz. This can't be overridden, unfortunately.

512MB of RAM used... seems like these board have f*cked up u-boot. Let's see if I can solve that somehow by playing with device tree. Again.

Try deleting recovery.img from SD card before using toothpick method.

Is there any script I can run via terminal to force the resolution change so I can somehow add it to startup? it should be set somehow...

Hi . sorry I asked here ,I have a box mxq v3_1 brick "mxq_s805 v3_1 20151230" . If you have stock firmware or backup NAND please give me the link
Thank you !

You can try setting hdmimode and outputmode in u-boot to 1080p50hz by running

fw_setenv hdmimode 1080p50hz
fw_setenv outputmode 1080p50hz

but that would not affect kernel setting if your display is incapable of displaying 1080p at 50Hz.
