MECOOL Android TV Box KM6 Deluxe Edition Powered by Amlogic S905X4 AVI supported

[X92-2GB]

Well I had to reorder... went to Mecool and purchased it there. Can't complain with low price with practically free shipping and discount. Could not find a better deal without any points collected on other sites. Plus they will ship out sooner once the item is released in a week or two. Seems like every store has a waiting list for around the start of Feburary to ship.

I thought about making a purchase for an Ugoos box for dual boot, but I like the Mecool for Freaktab and 4PDA developers. Though the box is Google certified so it's a fully functioning android TV box. Something new for mid priced boxes. I messed with 64 and 32 bit os on Chinese boxes, and find 32bit more stable, both in box capability and app functions. I think this will last me a while.

Now I have decided to for go the Ugoos and take on my 1st Mecool. I like the hardware of the KM6 Deluxe, and the lack of rebuilding from scratch the TV experience on 10. So 32bit is a crutch, but within a year, I forsee devs doing some good things for these X4 boxes.

armv8l (is an L not a 1) ~ which designates a kernel architecture, a kernel that is compilied for a 32-bit system for a 64-bit chip model; armv8a would be full 64-bit kernel

Yes you are correct again RiCkLaR

Went back and watched video again/paused at 1024/and 1033

Both = 32 bit

Read that article about Big G and 64 Bit changeover
Was all excited/assumed Mecool was ahead of the Game...
Amlogic........Hmmmmmmmm

So we are awhile until there is 64 Bit /full

64 Bit Rom
64 Bit Binaries
64 Bit OS
64 Bit CPU (Lots of these actually )

Thanks RiCkLaR

Yes

Pause at 10.33
U will see Kernel Architecture ArmV8.1
That is most dissipointing if 32 bit

The chip is a 64-bit chip, but the OS software is still running in 32-bit mode; Mecool plus probably everybody else releasing the S905X4 with Android10 will also be running in 32-bit mode because that is what the SDK Amlogic provides to vendors has currently.

When Google releases Android 12 for the Pixel phones around September of this Year we will have better idea if Alphabet's GoogleTV will also be getting 64-bit only OS at that time, i.e. 2020 Chromecast; but I believe GoogleTV(androidTV) will get and exemption from the rule for at least another year because of the Video Codecs running in 32-bit.

This is what mo123 was talking about in another Thread
Blame Amlogic...... for what they Provide

This will make my Decision Easier Now....
Unfortunetly

Nice!!!
Have been thinking about upgrade
This Box is 64 Bit correct?
Kernel Architecture 64 Bit Armv8?
Just finished reading Article about Big G/Andriod OS changing over to All 64 Bit
Play store has been implementing since 2019
