How many different QBox hardware platforms are there?

[AndyInNYC]

A friend bought a QBox because he really liked mine. Mine runs the 'standard' wifi chip and has an S905 chip with 2/16 memory. I installed LibreElec and all is well.

His new machine will install LibreElec, and he states he's using the correct device tree and I have no reason to doubt him. Unfortunately, he has no wired or wireless access.

I saw a forum post somewhere about a 905X QBox as well as QBox with a new wifi chip. Has anyone used these 'new' versions with LibreElec, and if so, what device tree was used?

Thanks

Andrew

There are a number of boxes across more than one platform that originally came with the 6255 and now have the 9377 WiFi chipset.

But manufacturers do have a tendency to change specs at a moments notice without informing vendors or customers.

Quite often though it is WiFi and Bluetooth that are affected, with Ethernet being less so.

It might be worth him opening the box and checking the components installed in order to at least know what direction to look in to find the right tree.

Turns out his QBox has an S905X unlike mine that came with an S905.

Given that, a different device tree file had LibreELEC up and running in a snap.
