[ROM] Unofficial OpenELEC for MK808B+ and MXQ

[kszaq]

Yes did that ,I flashed the android build u suggested ,android works and boots normal .then I flash openelec ,same issues ,get openelc splash screen and after 4-5 min ,get kodi screen .

Is it 4-5 minutes on every boot or only on the first one? Can you post a dmesg without pressing any remote buttons as they are logged in dmesg and I can't read the very fists lines from it?

Just for information, I am running version 5.0.3, and from clicking the reboot, and Kodi is ready to use is 29 seconds. I have the MK808B+ from Geekbuying, and have a USB Gigabit Ethernet adapter connected to the main USB port. I have a wireless mouse attached to the OTG port using the included micro USB to USB cable. I am using a mini HDMI to standard HDMI adapter for my connection to my Denon A/V receiver. I am running the tvheadend server with 2 networked HDHomerun tuners, and my pause buffer is ported to my class 10, 32gig micro SD card. My recordings are ported to my Synology NAS. I do not have a lot of addons, but all my media is stored on my NAS. I am also using the stock power supply that came with this stick.

It looks like a problem with emmc driver. I will compile a test version for you with a different driver but you need to wait a bit for it, I need to find some spare time to do it. For the time being you can either keep your box on (my MK808B+ consumes less than 3W when idle) or you can power it off over CEC/via Kodi menu - that puts the box to sleep and it should wake almost instantly.

I use the MK808B+ to watch movies several times a week and since this ROM is my daily driver I have no plans to discontinue it.

There's no harm in trying but I don't think it will work. The only difference between the builds is that the MXQ one has Ethernet drivers included.

[ecko404]

I have the same problem with the 4-5 min loading time. I bought my first MXQ in january, that one works perfectly, bought a second unit from same seller, same item, and this unit has the loading problem.

MXQ with red markings and power button on top.

I also have the long boot time but once it has booted it works perfectly. I have this unit:

Put me down for the test build too. I just experienced this boot problem myself with a new model MXQ

Maybe you hava an unusual WIFI chip. Try to identiy your WIFI chip (if you can`t post high resolution pictures of your PCB and we can probably tell you). If a driver is available, i am sure kszaq will include it in the next release.

EDIT: After some research i found out that the EC MK808B comes with RTL8723bs WIFI. It is a different device than the MK808B plus, but maybe kszaq can add support for it too.

phinc thanks,
are puzzled is original or a clone of MK808b plus?
the seller said that it is original and I bought ........

@Hi kszaq,
can you please add wifi driver for EC MK808B Comes With RTL8723bs

The Beelink MK808B plus is considered as "original". Because of that i would call your "EC MK808B" a clone.

Hi to all
first thanks to kszag and codesnake for doing a great job
secondly - krystyan - i thing you are searching on wrong place
when you get on main screen to system , in drop menu beneath you have openelec column ( along with file manager , system info , profiles ... )
you must enter inside openELEC and there in network enable wireles connections
sorry for my english
