what driver should I use? device manager shows “USB Download Gadget” with no driver. IF I force it to use libusb-win32 1.2.6 it seems to install this driver but flash still hangs.

Thank you

5

I switched to a Ubuntu machine and loaded it there, tested now.
Thanx

6

What parts are not working?

7

@JustSumDad I have a USB dirver. You can try it.

8

thank you but I was able to stuff it in and get it to boot by useing my Ubuntu setup.

Is this the AOSP build only? Or is the Khadas apps slid in and other things?
I did not look far into it, I only noticed the same memory errors I suffered when I tested the AOSP back in early Apr

Thanx tho :slight_smile:

OK, we’ll fix it ASAP.

Hi,

Is Dolby Atmos and DTS-HD working on this ROM? @tenk.wang

12

@Jimibob I doubt those things are enabled, this is just a preview, only basic hardware will be supported

13

you can make multichannel sound, it will further depend on your receiver.

14

I have a Denon 6700 and it works well with coreelec. Just prefer to have “full fat” android TV if possible.

There’s no compiled rom for vim3l yet?

When I flash this build on Ubuntu all I receive is a double blinking white light, and the screen does not turn on?

Anyone else having this issue? How do you resolve it?
