how can we use this on hd5. had look on Web site says sd card can USB be used 

 

 

 

 

 

Nobody ever said you can use it on an HD5 🙂

They Added support for BuzzTV X5 as of CoreELEC 19.5-Matrix_rc2 (July 27th, 2022).   

there web site said 🫡

OK.. My bad.  Guess it's been updated since the last time I checked it 🙂

Either way, pretty sure that amlogic will only boot recovery media via mSD card.  You can install updates and stuff from USB, but recovery/full booting can only be done via mSD.  So on these boxes, I don't think you have an option other than mSD.

On PCs, USB is perfectly fine, since they boot from USB.

But obviously, the dilemma is, how do you boot from mSD on a device that has no mSD slot 🙂

Maybe @Betatester can elaborate if the HD5 has actually been tested (or just assumed, since it is similar family as the X5 and U5).

 

I think you can. see below 

 

cheers will give it a go

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keep us posted.  I was pretty sure the amlogic devices could only boot from mSD.

When we made the HD5, due to spacing issues when tooling

It was either have an Ethernet Port or SD Card slot
We chose Ethernet.
