[ROM] Unofficial OpenELEC for MK808B+ and MXQ

[kszaq]

Well, Wifi doesn't work...
Is it possible to add reboot in recovery option? It will be very helpfull

Can you see the network list or it does not work at all? Do you probably have an USB-ethernet adapter or a USB WiFi dongle to connect to the box and be able to debug it?

I will try to add that option.

[Michael BB]

No, I can not see it. The option is not available in the OpenElec menu. I have WiFi dongle, I can try to use it, it work normally with the stable version. What can I do?

new release today thanks so much

After you plug in a WiFi dongle, you should be able to connect to your WiFi network. Please connect to your box over SSH, issue the following commands and paste results here:

cat /sys/bus/sdio/devices/*/device
dmesg | paste

You can also try adding an autostart command to load Realtek 8723BS WiFi driver module on boot:

echo modprobe 8723bs > /storage/.config/autostart.sh

But I prefer if I can make it work automatically.

Let me know if you need help in connecting over SSH.

Thank you in advance for your help! And sorry for the inconvencies you are experiencing but I don't have a 8723BS device and I can't test the releases. I hope this can be resolved soon.

The result is attached to the post. The Bluetooth doesn't work.

EDIT: After I detach the WiFI stick, the connection is visible, but it can not connects. It shows association and after few seconds - failure. Same like in test version 2. If the stick is on, connects normally.

Michael BB From your dmesg it looks like the WiFi chip is detected but the driver is not automatically loaded. Please try this build: (deleted, use 5.0.8p15)
I added an udev rule to load the driver when the WiFi chip is detected.

[Michael BB]

Now work just perfect. Thank you very much for your hard work and for support for this device. I'll wait for the next stable release.

[kszaq]

Michael BB And I thank you for your patience and testing. I understand that Bluetooth is also working?

[Michael BB]

kszaq Nope, it's not working.

[kszaq]

Michael BB Please get me a dmesg when you have time. I'll see if this can be fixed.

There is also a small change that might make HD Audio passthrough work although I am not very optimistic about it. Can please someone check it?

No HD audio, nor bitstream, nor decode to pcm mode

I have instaled the latest https://github.com/kszaq/OpenELEC.tv...s/tag/5.0.8p15 on my MXQ HD18Q black box.
The MAC address of the Wifi card is stable after reboot as promised, but the LAN card MAC address changes on every reboot.

Thank you. I think the reason why the Bluetooth doesn't work might be that the driver was compiled for Bluedroid and not BlueZ that is used in OpenELEC. I will change that for next builds and we'll see if that helps.

Thank you for checking that.

I don't have a HD18Q so I need at least a dmesg from you collected right after booting the box. Can you also chceck whether the MAC address changes if you install MXQ build on your box?
