Run on MXQ

[cquijano]

I have a MXQ Box and i have compiled last version:

ARCH=arm PROJECT=Amlogic DEVICE=MXQ make release

How can I run the image result ? Can I run from sdcard? is necessary flash the image in internal memory ?

Thank you.

You can't run it from sdcard. It is necessary to flash the image into NAND memory. Note also, OE for MXQ is still in development and not yet complete.

Thank you. I have found a way to flash MXQ easily.

1. Format SD CARD ( fat ).
2. Copy your release zip file into the sdcard ( in my case OpenELEC.tv/target/OpenELEC-Amlogic.MXQ.arm-5.0.0-update.zip ).
3. Turn On MXQ while push factory button in av connector, without the SDCARD, this will take you to the factory recovery menu.
4. Insert the SDCARD.
5. In factory recover select option flash from EXT, select SDCARD, and select the zip file.

And that is! I have a working MXQ

what is your opinion on using this rom on mxq did it work well out of the box ?

[cquijano]

Totally out of the box ( flashing and running ) and openelec works fine on it, Kody sees very fluid and works great with HD videos.

I did not try bluetooth, because my MXQ does not have it, buy Wifi works fine with my patch. Also I only tried with HDMI ( I do not know if it works with RCA conecctions ), but it works great with HDMI ( audio and video ).

[freekweijers]

Does anyone know if H265 videos play well on this box with openelec?

[freekweijers]

And does HDMI CEC works with this device or openelec build?

[mac1202]

You're talking about a patch for working wifi it is merged in codesnake source or do I need to apply it by myself ?

[cquijano]

@techetga , I can confirm that, CEC works.

@mac1202 i was taking about this: https://github.com/codesnake/OpenELEC.tv/pull/59 But I dont if wifi is working in @codesnake with MXQ repo now.
