hey stane! quick question...does this most recent release have uinput enabled in kernel? i want to be able to use the google tv remote service as well as droidmote server and they both rely on that function being enabled...so far this ROM rocks! any luck with getting netflix to work? i saw that artway released a new firmware for their androstick device that fixes netflix. also an amlogic device. any luck at all?

- Newer version of Flash (released by Amlogic)
- New kernel sources, speed improvements, antutu benchmark about 2400 (on 720p)

Same problem as before...built in mic and mic port on c03ref don't work, but microphone on usb webcam does. is there any chance of getting the built in microphone working again? netflix is also still a no go. i think its time to abandon the c03ref version. no support anywhere. barely any support from amlogic for their newer stuff. i've been using allot of allwinner A10 stuff lately and it works pretty good.

Are you sure that your device is ATV-108 rev2 (f16ref, or ATV-102 as claimed on Visson page)?

CVBS output does have ATV-101 also and it's c03ref device, pretty much similar to ATV-108 c03ref.

Does your device have USB-OTG connector on back side or any other connectors (mic in) or it looks exactly the same as on Visson's page (ATV-102)?

Hi stane,
Devicechecker reported as f16ref.
On the back side there's only power/reset/CVBS LAN/hdmi and LAN connectors.
exactly as this one:
http://www.vissontech.com/imageRepository/1a4acfa7-e242-42a2-817c-f71ec6302e1a.jpg

I made a contact thru facebook with someone from Vission saying their website "was building" :)
On 2.4G wireless mouse|keyboard|remote control|RC|motion remote you can now see VC-ATV-102 model n
 
Hi everyone!! Sorry for my bad english.
I brick my Visson ATV-108 rev.1 (c03ref). I try recover with SD, but device not enter in recovery mode. I solder pinouts for TTL on PCB. And i have this on boot in console:
Code: 
0x00009880
0x01110fff


RSLR0=00000249 RDGR0=00000055
Stage 00 Result 00000000
Stage 01 Result 00000000
Stage 02 Result 00000000Systemp Started
0x12345678
Boot From SPI0x12345678
Any ideas? Is it 100% brick?
!!! I'm unbrick my device, I would write a guide, but my English is very bad and I'm very lazy. :) If anyone has a similar situation arises, please contact me in PM, we will learn how to restore the device. !!!
 
Just as a side note, anyone finds interesting creating a FB Group just for Vission ATV 10x Android TV boxes? ;)

How-to's and guides (and even firmware's) could be placed there, with the help and contribution from the community. Please give feedback. :o

I've followed other groups (android phone ROM's) and helped me a lot getting problems solved...:D
 
Hi stane..i success upgrade my droid tv box using f16ref 07082012..but the problem is every i try turn on my wifi, its hang error..is it different wifi device ? My droid box is MP019..thanks for your time...
 
!!! Please read !!!

I'm developing firmwares for Visson products, ATV-108 c03ref and ATV-108 f16ref. c03ref and f16ref stands for platform used in device (c03ref - Amlogic MBX platform based on AML8726M chipset; f16ref - Amlogic MBX platform based on AML8726M3 chipset).

Every manufacturer of Android TV boxes can use different implementation of bootloader, different hardware, different partitioning... and my firmware is primary for Visson products mentioned above. It might work with other devices too, but I'm not supporting other devices and I'm sorry, but I cannot make and will not make firmwares for devices which I don't have.

Visson devices uses wifi module based on Realtek 8192CU wifi chipset. Driver for that chipset is installed by firmware. It's loadable kernel module driver (/system/lib/8192cu.ko and for f16ref also cfg80211.ko file). Amlogic ICS source tree is made that way it's not so simple when replacing wifi module driver because it's built by kernel and loaded by android system with much more config included than just insmod drivername.

I can assist you how to do some things, I can give you some pointers what to do in certain situations and I will try to help you to unbrick your device if bricked.

But you guys as users should be also be careful, if firmware is for c03ref then you cannot install it on f16ref. Also, I mentioned it cpl of times in this thread, if you are installing my firmware to any other device than Visson, use your original u-boot-aml-ucl.bin file instead of one packed with my fw... that way there are small chances you will brick your bootloader which is pretty hard to fix (at least on Visson f16ref device).

Hi Stane, do the last firmware include Flash ? Cause I dont see it as an installed application and Dolphin doesnt seem to be able to play them... do I need to download the one available on the webpage ?

Thanks.

Hi,

It's included in new_patch.zip file. If your system can't see it, something went wrong during firmware installation. Flash player on my download page is old one... Will replace it with new version, but for now it's old one :)
 
Is there anyway to apply new_patch.zip file ? Because everything else works like a charm, so not sure how to check if that zip file was installed or not...

(Or maybe get a copy of the latests Flash to install it manually)

By the way, if new_patch install fails, what shoud I be also missing that I'm not aware ?

Thanks.

Hi there stane!
Good news: latest f16ref worked like a charm on my 'apparently' ATV-102 device!!! Don't know why Vission calls it that way. :rolleyes:

Used a 256Mb SDCard!
New logo is 'v.play'. Will be giving feedback as parts are tested.
Thanks for great work, one beer under way!!! :D
 
Stane;

Your work gets better and better. I'm not too good with android building but am pretty good with linux. Is there some advice you could give on how to add Ralink RT2870sta support or add it in to yours?
 
Hi stane
I am not able to use 3g dongle (Huawei e171) not even able to access apn list. When I connect the dongle the status bar shows "no Internet connection" also when I view the apn list it is completely blank or when I save a new apn it does saves but again starts showing the blank page.

Do you have mobile signal indicator on statusbar when you plug in your huawei dongle?

Another issue I forgot to mention... if sim is set to request PIN, it will not work. Workaround is to disable PIN request in some cellphone and put simcard back in 3g dongle.

Please check that and see if it works. 3G dongle support only tested and working with Huawei E1752, but should work with other huawei's dongles as well.
 
so my logitech c270 camera and microphone work in skype and camera app. but in skype, video chat only lasts for about 30 seconds before camera dies. light on the c270 goes out and it wont come back on until i unplug and replug..on board microphone and on board mic port does not work any longer. but usb microphones from webcams seem to work. netflix cannot even load the beginning red load screen. i started using allwinner a10 stuff for netflix compatibility cause amlogic cant seem to get their act together.
 
Hi Stane,

Will there be any fixes to DVB-T dongle (freezes during channel scanning) and wireless keyboard/mouse (stop working after a while ) ?

Tested the latest "20120826_Android_ICS-ATV-108-c03ref" firmware but the above 2 issues still unresolved.

Thanks!

I do get the signal indicator on the status bar but it seems it has zero signal strength (because there is a small cross on the signal indicator)

The PIN request is already disabled as I never use them.

Downloading the archive now, but basically I can't do anything about browser crashes or any other firmware bugs. To be able to do that I need actual device and board specification (bootloader...). Whoever compiled this code, downloaded corrupted amlogic sources released 20120710 (branch ics-amlogic-0702). Amlogic servers had some problems awhile ago.

Anyway, it should be AML8726M3 based Refee M6 product...
