S905 Lakka wont work s805/905 av output cvbs 480p needed! long time without fix.

[ghost]

Lakka S905 port doesnt works on my box! Tried almost everything! it doesnt boots on, maybe dtb.img needs to be different, i dont know!

ITs a shame because i only bought it to use s905 port !

On website i find no instructions at all on how to flash it!

However, im very used to these proceeds and i was able to flash libreelec without errors. Lakka team please do something and fix it! i need it!

480p cvbs is for sure the reason on why it's not booting, you gotta enable it on kernel or something so people like me can boot lakka on s905 devices without problem using av output

Hardware Details:

AZW W95 Android Box S905W processor 2gb Ram 16Gb rom! Android Nougat

Did you replace the dtb.img with the correct one for your device from here?

[ghost]

yes sure i did, the problem is resolution....need 480cvbs mode to be inserted into its code. libreelec runs fine! retroarch and emulationstation doesnt.

its frame broken on screen....

Not sure if can be done on retroarch with this hw

@edneyhelene I have a RetroArch KODI addon - you may try to install it from there. At least to test if RetroArch will work. The installation will take quite a long, as it is a huge archive with all the database files, assets, joypad configs, etc. - just give it some time - it will be stuck at 0% for long ;-) The BIOS files are expected to be in /storage/.config/retroarch/system folder. See more details about the folders here.

Retroarch on android plat works without problems!

The problem is that lakka itself or libretro img cant work with cvbs, i already saw similar topics and till now no news, devs needs to fix it!

i also bough an x96 box and the same problems happens! boot up libreelec perfect, but then i open retroarch or lakka and its gone...

CVBS output is not working at all and needs a fix. only works on android but i dont like the android apk....and as far as lots of projects does uses it as base, im really needing a fix for this issue with devs!

And here: https://forums.libretro.com/t/composite-video-on-lakka-amlogic-s905x/12007

So when are you guys going to fix it? and please dont get me wrong, im just trying to help pointing an error that is here long time and still have no fix =DDD

I have also bought different boxes to see if the problem still goes on and the same happens on all S805/905 boxes that i tried with cvbs output.

Manual installing on libreelec does the same, no news and still no fix avaliable..

only works with hdmi output..... the android apk works fine.

Hi, probably due to the default configuration in retroarch.cfg (just shooting blanks here...). Can you connect via ssh to your box and post the output of the following command:

for p in /sys/class/drm/*/status; do con=${p%/status}; echo -n "${con#*/card?-}: "; cat $p; done

If there are multiple outputs/connectors, you may also try to edit retroarch.cfg (nano /storage/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg iirc) and change the line video_monitor_index = "0" to a different value (1, 2, etc. - depending on the number of outputs/connectors and their order).

And please do not get upset if something is not fixed right away - the developers do not have access to every kind of device, so very often it is hard to troubleshoot the issues without the exact same or at least similar device.

you need to alter initramfs after you set the needed resolution in android but this wont be fixed as this needs to be tailored on your needs vs the needs of the rest of the people that uses these boxes

[bonzini]

This is not related to the initramfs, it's a bug in retroarch and it shows up also when using the various Kodi addons that start retroarch.

Any word on this ? AV output would be great for those running CRTs.

You need to run this script before starting retroarch. Then it works great. :)
