Geniatech Enjoy TV Stick ATV100: Amlogic AML8726-M3 Android 4.Zero HDMI Dongle
Darlene Daplyn edited this page 1 week ago


I imagine Geniatech are the source for pretty much all Android Tv bins with Amlogic 8726 chips, both licensed or unofficially cloned. A few of the apps used within the construct of Android that runs on Geniatechs bins are distinctive like the "Network" app used for enjoying media from samba shares so it’s simple to identify re-brands/clones. Though I do surprise if Amlogic is really the supply for this version of Android, that mentioned it’s always Geniatech who release the latest builds of Android for 8726 chips. Amlogic are a bit extra open it appears for some, Flixy Device apparently Davilla from XBMC group was given entry and has ported XBMC to the Amlogic 8726 sequence, Pivos Group have hinted at XBMC coming to their field which is 8726-M1 primarily based. Thanks for the data. Yesterday, I couldn't find anything when trying to find Geniatech gpl or geniatech open supply, however perhaps they simply provide another technique to launch their software program, or Flixy Device they solely launch it to chosen companions (which is probably not open supply).


They seem to have launched most source code (u-boot, Flixy Device the kernel), have respectable documentation explaining how to construct all that and use AMLogic processor media capabilities. Information about AML8726-MX (Dual cortex A9) is still missing for now. Just an update if any one occurs to learn this I received my arms on an ATV100. The primary drawback is the firmware update does not work, via on-line (returns error) or manually via the in-built software program Android update and by way of the handbook flash, all other Amlogic packing containers have a reset button that permits you to manually flash the firmware replace even when the mushy replace fails. There isn't any reset button on the ATV100 stick so your stuck. Geniatech have released newer Android M3 builds on their web site but there isn't a means to use them so far as I can see. As for the build of Android that runs on it, properly doesn’t run that great in any respect which is why I was hoping for the firmware update.


Lastly the CPU was clocked at 600Mhz not 800Mhz and there is simply 512MB of RAM present not 1GB as marketed, Flixy Device but after i took apart the stick the RAM modules after trying up the part numbers appear to be 512MB modules and there have been two of them so not sure what’s occurring. XBMC runs on the ATV100 naturally and it really works okay however a bit gradual and took forever to put in. If someone is aware of find out how to power an update on an Amlogic stick I’d love to know and see if the other M3 firmwares resolve most of these issues and Flixy Product i just got some wonky early dev construct on mine. Running linux/XBMC on it could be even higher once a build is on the market for 8726-M3 gadgets.
