Not sure why the box is showing 755MB RAM, the speculation on Amlinux forum about clone boxes is not the reason. We buy direct from Beelink factory. I suspect this will be resolved in future OpenELEC firmware update. The freezing is probably related to using very heavy skins and the lower reported RAM. For most users it won't be a problem and I expect it to be fixed/improved in future firmware.

Skins tested are all skinhelper enabled:
  • Arctic: Zephyr
  • Titan
  • Refocus
  • Bello (ported to Jarvis, possibly inherently unstable)

Worth noting, this freeze also occurred when using the default Confluence and Retouched skins. I thought it may happen during caching of thumbs whilst browsing, but on a few occasions it has happened on precached movie sets, as well as the basic home menu in Confluence. This box has been exclusively setup to stream, so until the thumbnail is cached, it doesn't exist locally.

If any user can reproduce this freeze on command, I would be curious what steps cause it!

EDIT: Someone on the Amlinux thread has mentioned stability massively increased with a swapfile. I'm going to try this sometime this week. I'll report back with results!

v6.95.3.2

Box came back, running v6.95.3.2 from SD...
  • WiFi and ethernet working fine
  • Still no blueooth
  • Random freezes still present, more obvious on heavier skins
  • Showing 755MB of RAM

v6.95.3.2 is out. Apparently, some stability and performance issues have been addressed, along with some CEC issues. Has anyone tested this version yet? I haven't got my MiniMX back yet otherwise I would have given it a whirl...

All flashes have been via the usb method, and I tried a full wipe wipe and flash with 107L.

I can't confirm if it was working when I first got it, as I connected via Ethernet to set up Kodi. What address do I need to email for an RMA?

I can no longer turn wifi or bluetooth on in Android now either.

I've tried every firmware version posted both here and in the FreakTab forum to no avail. I installed root explorer and browsed to the data/misc/wifi folder, but a file mentioned in a lot of solutions (wpa_supplicant.conf) is missing, although there IS a folder called 'wpa_supplicant'. I tried deleting this, no dice.

 Everything else is fine, but unfortunately I don't have a way to run an ethernet cable to the box.

Any ideas Futeko?

EDIT: Wifi still works on the SD OpenElec. Scanned and connected fine. So it HAS to be the images I'm flashing. I used  FUTEKO MINIMX. ANDROID. S905_105L1. FULL FLASH METHOD, wifi didn't work. I then updated, and tried again, nada. Final update still didn't fix the issue.

I've had to go back to using the Android install, as the image is currently too unstable. The issue is random lockups whilst navigating menus. I've tried various skins, and tailed the log via SSH. The lockups leave not trace in the log. Just FYI.

I tried a few of the images in that thread initially, and I suffered exactly the same problem. No wifi or Bluetooth. It updated OTA and the Wi-Fi resolved itself.

Current issues with the latest build are bluetooth not working and incorrect memory information. Both boxes I tested report 741mb of RAM as opposed to 1020mb, and neither have Bluetooth. One box is flashed, the other one running from SD.

Yup, I used that image, the link to the latest SD version is missing on the thread though, but it IS in the http://www.amlinux.ru/image/905/6.95.3.1/ repository. I had an issue with a slightly earlier build, the bluetooth wasn't working, but WiFi was fine. I'll post here with my results when I try the newer version.

Am I correct in thinking that the SD version is OpenELEC-Amlogic.aarch64-MiniMX-6.95.3.1.img.gz?
