Hi,

No, not possible at the moment. Only 480, 576, 720 and 1080 resolutions natively supported for now. I'm pretty busy right now so I'm unable to implement custom resolutions right now. It includes both kernel and android modifications and I don't have time and need for such a customization at the moment. V.play (device) is hitting Croatian market these days...

Hi,

currently, none of USB ethernet adaptersare supported, only amlogic built-in ethernet driver. This is what can be supported by current kernel 2.6.34 from amlogic:
Code: 
USB CATC NetMate based ethernet device
USB KLSI KL5USB101 based ethernet device
USB Pegasus/Pegasus2 based ethernet device
USB RTL8150 based ethernet device

Duane how's the progress on 4.1?
Click to expand...

Still no bootable build (sort of, kernel is not crashing anymore, but android itself doesn't boot :))

4.1 will be for M3 based devices (and MX), M1.... sorry, if I manage to get time to do it...

c03ref will receive update today with patches, bugfixes and few new features.
 
Hi

It is V2 (f16ref)

I tried to upgrade it and I have a lot of different problems with each different firmware :

20120905_Android_ICS-ATV-108-f16ref-test.zip
firmware_f16ref_20120807_Android_ICS-ATV-108-f16ref.zip
every thing is OK but there is 3 problems :


  • If the WiFi signal is less than 100% the wireless keyboard and mouse stop working and cannot us WiFi ( I tried this in a room with 100% WiFi signal (router in it) and it is working very good, but in another room WiFi signal is less the problem started )
  • If you get the device in standby mode it will not work again unless you get out the power cord and put it again, and there is no way to shutdown the device.
  • The Ethernet not working at all



20120625_Android_ICS-ATV-108-f16ref.zip :

  • The WiFi is working great, but the external HDD stop working after a few minutes of NOT using.
  • One of he lights is continue blinking.
  • There is no way to shutdown or standby the device, just pull the power cable.
  • There is no youtube.
  • After stop using the device for long time (hours) it stop working by itself
so I use the new one because of HDD problem and I hope you can help me
If you can put the old drivers of WiFi in the new firmware, may be this solve the problem


or I will be in need to buy a new WiFi rang extender in the same room with the device, and this is expansive solution.


Sorry for my weak English


Thank YOU again

I have the same problem. My device is Visson board f16ref. firmware_f16ref_20120807_Android_ICS-ATV-108-f16ref.zip. what is most slable firmware for that device? the wireless mouse problem is the biggest problem. other functions work well. sorry for my bad english.
 
I just wanted to inform of my experience about flashing firmware in my box. I am a total newbe on android.
Took me alot of time to figure out what was what. I wanted to flash my firmware coz I had problem with apps that needed the box to be rooted. After alot of reasearch i came across this thread. So I went on to download sdtools and firmware from this page http://downloads.v-play.com.hr/
The SD card can be written with XPmode on win7, but you will need an external cardreader since xpmode cant handle internal readers in laptops. Once the the sdcard has been written with sdtools and the correct binfile i closed down xpmode and copied the files from firmware package onto the sdcard.
sdtools - Makes a hidden partition with the booting system(bin-file) for the tv box to start its bootup. if anything wrong with the hidden partition and/or the bin file used, the box just gives you the total black screen and does nothing. Then you should try another firmware and bin file. I tried all the files from this page http://downloads.v-play.com.hr/ and all gave black screen on my box. Then started to try others and finally I came across the firmware on this site and that worked for me, it is ICS 4.0.4 http://lctrading.hk/download/GV-13/GV-13%20%20M3-0802_11349.rar
Reset button is inside audio jack. Hold it in while inserting powerjack to start boot prosess into maintenance mode. If screeen remains black while you try to boot, there is something wrong with SDcard, most likely wrong binfile used.
My only problem now is that this firmware is not rooted so I am back to square one again. Anyone knows how to root this firmware?
Here are some pictures of my box GV-13

Hi,

As digitalarts said, c03ref is AML8726M(1) platform (single core, up to 800 MHz), f16ref is AML8726M3 (single core, up to 1 GHz). AML8726MX is Amlogic's dual-core platform (up to 1.5 GHz).

M1 and M3 platforms are not intended to receive JellyBean (as my Amlogic contact told me). I will port JB to M3 platform, but I'm not so sure about M1.

I'm very busy at the moment..... about firmware I said I'll publish 2 days ago, turns out I have some bugs, but couldn't spend any more time with that because my other duties. Will release when I get time to solve issues.

Regards
 
Hi all,

I just bought an Android Box ATV-108 from dx.com/p/atv-108-android-4-0-ddr3-1gb-1080p-tv-box-w-wi-fi-sd-hdmi-white-150967 (same as bhappy decribed before), here are the specifications:

Model Number: MBX 2.0 board
Android: 4.0.4
Kernel: 3.08
Build: ICS.MBX.20120920

At this time WiFi is not working well, sometimes get on and others not. Could I use one of Stane1983's FW? Also, I would like to use this box with XBMC, I tried some nightly builds and XBMC for Android with poor results, any body have luck?

thanks in advanced
 
Thanks Stane for your answer. Does anyone know where I can get me one of those MX dual core babies ?? I think they could be much better than my M1 right ? My problem is I need it to be send to Argentina, so not sure if DX doesn't have it where I can get it.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks !

Hi,

no public firmwares for 1gb Visson's device from me. RAM clocking is different, so is bootloader... means it will not work or will not work properly.

First Visson devices have wifi problems (Visson included their notice about wifi and how to deal with the problem, don't know if your seller put that away)... If you do cold boot of device (eg it was out of power...), when you plug the power in, second or two after that, plug it off and then back in. Wifi will work fine then.

Basically it doesn't have anything with wifi module but USB hub on PCB. Problem was discovered too late. New supplies from Visson starting next month will not have that problem.

Issue cannot be fixed by software (Visson's engineer and I tried to do that, to reset USB hub various ways, but eventually it cannot be solved on software basis, device needs to be unplugged and then plugged back in the power).

More details:
When box looses all electricity (basically when device is unplugged for some time), when you plug it in the power for the first time, USB hub chip which is built in box will not recognize wifi module (which is connected to USB hub).

Just info, Visson will start mass production of their MX devices next month (November).

Their MX device will be packed in their standard case as ATV-102/ATV-108 and in new 'space' design case which looks cool (I don't know if I'm allowed to post picture so I'm not going to :))

Stane1983,

Thanks a lot for the info, I'll try it. Right now I want to use XBMC with this box, I have tested many versions (nightly, midnight, futeko) and all crashes after few minutes....I wondering if I can upgrade the firmware to stable version or find another XBMC version, could you suggest me?

thanks in advanced
