Step by Step Instructions on How to Install Openelec on MXQ Pro+ Dual Boot Via SD Card

[Habibie]

Step 2 – Creating an openELEC Boot SD Card

• It is recommended that Windows users use Win32DiskImager to format your SD Card for this step.

On a Linux platform, probably using the dd utility to create an image on an SD card is the same as the above, isn't it?

I would like to put on the aml auoscript from the update_uboot/mxq pro plus directory on the link. I copy the zip into an sdcard, select it in "update and backup" app, pushing update. After reboot, the bootloader say unknown footer chacksum or just nothing happens with black screen.
Have somebody got a working aml_autoscript for this device? I would like to try out ubuntu.

Hi, Installed this and worked fine, having 1 issue with network, won't connect to network as wireless is not present, and when I connect with wired connection does not pick up a valid IP from my network. Set it to manual and added IP manually but still won't connect. Strange thing is that when on dhcp it does pick an IP up but not in my network range. Does the image have any settings for VPN included?

I have not done this yet on my S905 MXQ Pro Android 5.1.1 OTT TV Box, yet. I want to know if openelec you all installed used on your device does come with a GUI and some (Libre) Office software. I want to use mine with my 42" LED HDMI TV as a Linux desktop computer to do some office works + as a TV Box using kodi.

It does have VPN. Here's a good addon for OE to manage VPN - OpenELEC openvpn manager

Is it s a Pro+ or just Pro. If just Pro this post won't work for you. You need to read up more on OE and LE to understand them better. https://libreelec.tv/ and/or http://openelec.tv/. They are just a different version of KODI.

Mine is MXQ Pro and not MXQ Pro+. I may be wrong, but AFAICT the difference between the two is the amount of RAM/eMMC storage, i.e. same CPU, etc. Regardless, I want to know if Openelec has a support for GUI (out of the box) to include some (Libre) office packages.

Its a version of KODI, looks like KODI and has the KODI gui. Its intended to run KODI with a much lighter OS.

What about Openelec GUI out of the box with some (Libre) Office software?

P.S.: I can't shut down the box and can't update it to the latest LE beta 7.90.005. (I tried the odroid-c2 update tar)
