[HOW TO] KODI Linux on Amlogic TV Boxes

LAST QUESTION: As I read through the first 30 or so pages there was a lot of debate about the best version of linux to use with the ATV boxes and it kind of seemed to depend on what mattered more to you (time zone functionality, power button functionality, 720p vs 1080p, wireless etc.) and I didn't see anyone really asking in the most recent 10-20 pages about which one is best as of today and a lot of issues seemed to be getting worked on or fixed around this time last year. I was just wondering what the status was on the most recommended or most stable linux to run on the ATV boxes? Do any of these have true 1080p working yet or are they 720p scaled to 1080p? Is wifi working on all of them? Thanks again for the help guys.

1. ATV380 is a S802 chip so this firmware will not work on that box. You will need to find a firmware that works with the ATV1800e.

2. The current build of MX linux with Kodi 14+ mentioned on page one are 1080p kernels. No more 720p upscale thanks to AuXBoX. The first 30 pages are old info. MX linux is the way to go on dual cores. The android 4.2.2 system is over 2 years old and does not handle the newer Kodi builds.
