Lollipop - Wasser Firmware for Beelink R89

[Gormar]

However, my TV Sony can show that message of being receiving from R89 a 1080p 10 bit signal, this TV must not be capable of that because there are only HDMI 1.4 ports on it.

Which model is it? Deep Colour (colour depth greater than 8 bit per channel) is optional HDMI feature starting from 1.3 version. That TV may support this.

I haven't seen RockChip RK3288 kernel code for a quite long time but if HDMI detection part isn't in better shape than in 2015 then there is a big mess. For example after determining reciever capabilities they basically set different parameters. It is true especially for Deep Colour panels. In my understanding it was done to prevent sending 10bpc signal as if RK3288 HDMI interface had problem with this.

If you can provide me with HDMI registry file from your box I will check if they realy can support 10bit per channel now.
To do so execute this command:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/rockchip_hdmiv2/regs_ctrl > /mnt/HDMI_regs_10bit.txt
and then send me HDMI_regs_10bit.txt file.

Hello, I own Rikomagic MK902II, i've tried Wasser firmware few months ago (v 3.0.3), firmware was very good, but ogirinal remote doesn't work for me.
I'm planning to reflash my device with new version 3.0.5 - so my question is - will be remote functional, or is there any chance to make remote controller working?
Thanks a lot.

Sony Bravia KDL-55W807 (Smart 3D, Full HD, Led Backlight LCD screen)

From post earlier: "Trying to understand why some of you are convinced that HDMI v1.4 is able to transport 10 bit colour depth signal however the author of article (trustedreviews.com) had said it´s not, just re-interpreting may be that constrain mentioned apply for 4K video with maximun 8 bit colour depth, but If video signal is 1080p this resolution will leave room to accomodate 10 bit colour depth through HDMI v1.4 ports??, I don´t know this becomes confuse. But if a Full HD Tv had been implemented to do that this will be a big marketing feature to be mentioned prior to sell the product , but I cannot find any mention about it on the Sony TV where I had been doing the test. If other type of device with HDMI 1.4 port can output that kind of signal, 1080p - 10 bit, like a BluRay, I don´t know, but in the case of TVs, there must be an option into the setup menu to activate it the "10 bit colour depth", by default 8 bit colour is selected even in a 4K TVs".

10 bit colour depth is not enabled by default on TV sets because breaks compatibility backwards with many devices; all of these TV sets including 4K are enabled by default 8 bit colour depth; to activate 10 bit colour depth must be done manually, this is not automatic.

if HDMI detection part isn't in better shape than in 2015 then there is a big mess. For example after determining reciever capabilities they basically set different parameters. It is true especially for Deep Colour panels. In my understanding it was done to prevent sending 10bpc signal as if RK3288 HDMI interface had problem with this.

Probably this "mess" it´s included into v3.0.5, that´s why facing these problems in HDMI mode.

If you can provide me with HDMI registry file from your box I will check if they realy can support 10bit per channel now.
To do so execute this command:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/rockchip_hdmiv2/regs_ctrl > /mnt/HDMI_regs_10bit.txt
and then send me HDMI_regs_10bit.txt file.

I´ll do it later and will post info. Thanks.
Edit: See attached the requested file HDMI_regs_10bit.txt
When this registry file was captured the system had been with original opitons set as the first fresh start:
- HDMI checking "ON"
- Autorefresh Rate "ON"
- HDMI mode: 1080p60, at the moment of the log the system had been with "no sound" at all, as this is a persistent bug after each reboot.

i found this in another Thread here,maybe it helps solve WIFI Problems.

http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-support/general-tv-player-dicussions/24979-fix-wifi-drop-wifi-ui-ap-scan-and-streaming-connection-stability-problem

we all using the same Board only other CPU,so it must normally help to fix the current WIFI Problems.

I flashed Wasser 3.0.3-3.0.5,but on all Roms i had Power On Problems only with Remote the Device started.
Wasser until now your Rom has the best German Translation only a few things missing.
Your Rom has a Problem with Unmount a USB Device it always says SDCard can be unmounted,because of
this "unexpected remove".USB is no SDCard.If you unmount from System it is English,from Statusbar German,or
maybe reverse.
I have a UT3 with Wifi 6335,but the last log i made says something from 6210,maybe something went wrong while programming.
Will,upload it a little bit later.Nice that you managed to make Xposed working hope Ugoos and others follow.

nice Day

I'm 100% sure that your TV is 10bit Deep Colour capable.
What I do not know right now is what audio format is used or rather not. It will take some time because I will have to dig up documentation about RK3288 HDMI registers. My RK3288 HDMI analyzing tool concentrates only on video aspects of frame data stream.

If you can send me HDMI registry dump when sound is working. Do your voodoo to make it possible

This is a nice surprise, that maybe explain the stunning great, bright picture on this TV, even better than the picture on the LG 4K Tv when both play 1080p content.
So, the mode it´s 10-bit in both cases, but in the case of Sony Tv there is communication HDMI 2.0 (TV box R-89) to HDMI 1.4 (1080p Sony TV), whilst when connected to LG 4K TV, the communication in both ends it's HDMI 2.0, but the problems are the same.

Please see attached, as well into your inbox, via PM.
The sound problems occur when the R-89 send 10-bit deep colour signal, because the problem it´s not only with this TV, it´s as well the 4K LG TV, that I know since the beginning it´s 10-bit capable.

I can assure now that this problem it´s only in 10-bit mode because I was able to test today with others low-end 1080p TVs at a friend house, that are only standard colour space capable, 8-bit, when surely this R-89 send 8-bit signal and there is not a single glitch present, not a problem at all, the v3.0.5 looks perfect in than 8-bit mode scenario.


@wasser: The HDMI Checking into v 3.0.5 cannot avoid that the R89 when be connected to a TV 10-bit capable send a 10-bit signal even if the option is set to "Off", that's supposed can be done with this action, right?; clearly now the problem it´s that 10-bit mode it's not working optimal yet, needs to be refined on R-89, but whilst that happens if 10-bit signal can be switched to "Off" all the times that will make dissapear these problems for the moment, however limit the full potential of what you are getting with this 10-bit HDMI detection.

Thanks alot for this! I have never gotten v3.x rom to work with wifi. Have been stuck on v2.0.9. After setting ro.wifi.channels=13 in build.prop, my wifi has been stable!

Now I'm 100% sure that this problem is connected with 10bit color per channel (30bit color depth). Comparing two registry dumps which you send me I can see that there is quite a handfull of registers in different state. I will investigate further but I can't promise any solution ;(. It might require RockChip specialist to do some more tests. For now as a temporary workaround you should be able to disable Deep Colour in your TV.

After fully flashed the Wasser 3.0.4a, You need flash resource+kernel_tronsmart_r28_wasser304a.7z using the AndroidTool

Thanks!!
It Worked.
one question, in order to update to 3.0.5 etc i will need to flash the resource and kernel each time?

Yes, but only after I make same changes (for Tronsmart) in resource 3.0.5, and upload here.

Hi Clement & All others

nice to hear that it helped i want to give it a try too,but must i input 11 or 13 Channels i am from Germany???
What Rom are u using Clement 5.1 or 4.4.2 ??? If i remember good u have a UT3S,is this right???
What kind of Problems you had with Wifi,Clement???

To,Wasser look the attached log File,Time Index :13:52:43:695 to 13:52:43:731,maybe my posted Hint can help
to fix it.My Device UT3/AP6335.

Hi,

You can set 13 for Germany. I understand that US uses channels 1-11 but EU uses 1-13. I have Tronsmart R28 Meta with Wasser 3.0.5 now, wifi stable finally! My wifi earlier was switching continuously off and on within a minute. I have to use ethernet cable to get online.

[gefattern]

Hi Clement
thanks for Feedback,i have the same ON/OFF Problems with my UT3 and latest 3.0.4 from Ugoos and Audio & Video
always Stutters with Wifi On/OFF nothing.
Same Stutter behavior with other 5.1Roms.
Do you or others have Problems like that???
Did you changed the wlan0 to eth0 ,too??? or only added 13.

have a nice Day

Hi all,
Anyone here with wasser 3.0.4a on a tronsmart orion r28?
I'm experiencing slowliness, what about you??
