Linux ChromeBox Kodi E-Z Setup Script (LibreELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2017/02/21]

Did you or anyone else try to lower clockspeeds and/or voltages?

I'm using a MeLE F10 Deluxe (Airmouse) with my ChromeBox, works perfectly fine, except for turning it on, instead I am using WOL via Yatse on Android.
Maybe that helps.

@Vlaves
If you find anything useful about how to control the fanspeed, please let me know.
A solution on OS level would be nice... Sad

I think it's a bad idea to go below the values I'm using, as you'll likely not be to control the temp adequately. The CPU/GPU clockspeeds are already dynamic, and we're dealing with a ULV processor - there's no room for tweaking there.

I have two Asus Chromeboxes with the 01/29 firmware and it's happened on both with different devices (Pulse Eight CEC adapter, Logitech Unifying Receiver, usb3 nic). One is OpenELEC 5.0.2, the other Arch Linux with kernel 3.18.6.

Unplugging and re-plugging gets the devices to show up.

I'm using a 1 second boot delay, hoping maybe a longer delay will let the USB bus/devices settle.

no, the stock firmware is flaky - the USB ports are fine. The dev boot screen timeout won't change a thing, all the hardware init is done well before the video comes on screen.

Also, on the hp chromebox the back usb ports are recognized better for me. Like when installing openelec the keyboard needs to be plugged into the back rather than the front.

can't say I've seen any difference between front and rear ports on any of the boxes I've tested. Sounds like a flaky device rather than a flaky port.
