i bought a random tv box on vinted for 20pln (~5usd)
nothing out of the ordinary except for the fact that it retails for ~120eur and apparently is kinda high end as android tv boxes go
will attempt to get linux on the thing, it has 4xA55 at 2.5GHz and 4GB of DDR4 so pretty solid for the price
let’s hope mainlining this thing will be within scope for me as i don’t really want to use the 5.15 kernel this thing ships with lol
thread maybe in the future..?

the box has arrived
just the box, no remote
i plugged it into my tv, still was logged in into google and a bunch of stuff so i went ahead and wiped it
and now it wants me to become a waipu.tv customer
ugh

also forgot to meniton, the packaging was just some shrink wrap around it, you could literally see it through
quite a miracle it arrived intact

plugging it into my pc seems to briefly expose an 1b8e:c004 Amlogic, Inc. DNL and disconnect after a second
holding reset while plugging it in makes it not disconnect anymore
that was easy, huh

was out of town from a weekend, back now
well it randomly booted into u-boot now?
also connecting it to the tv in the previous state leads to a large screen that says fastboot, and pressing the button again boots the tv to android recovery

it stopped booting in to the amlogic dl mode, now booting into fastboot
better than a proprietary protocol that only has weird download tools i couldnt get working
