Welcome to the ArkOS-G80CA-MB wiki!

Firmware

  • Based on the ArkOS K36 Firmware with a modified Panel 8 and Panel 9 DTB file for the function button and 1512Mhz max speed.

Firmware Enhancements

  • Focus on speed.
  • Cleanup of unused emulators, cores, scripts, logs, etc
  • Added the function button to enable emulator menu access and emulationstation brightness control.

Firmware Installation

  • Follow the guide here

Ports

G80CA-MB Limitations

  • Wireless is restricted by the limitations of output current on the OTG port. I have tried multiple adapters, but they keep disconnecting in the dmesg outputs
  • RTL8188EU drivers are included within the kernel
  • Volume is low, needs to be above 50%.
  • Battery charge indicators on the LED are hit and miss; the device will charge to 100% when running off the kernel

Helpful hints

  • Black Screen - Hold the power button for 10 seconds, release, then push for 2 seconds.
  • I used the wrong DTB, and now my screen has fuzzy lines around the border - Power off, remove the battery, wait 10 minutes, then try with the correct DTB.
