PlayOn!X



Official firmware

Please take in mind: there are multiple versions of SDK implemented in firmware.
  • Firmware r3582 and later is made from newer SDK. It's based on read-only Squashfs, which makes harder to install any modifications. This firmware has several new improvements, but so far it's not stable enough to use it everyday.
  • Firmware up to r4318 and before is made from old SDK. It's based on Yaffs filesystems, which is not so small as Squashfs, however it allows to use modifications without any problem. This firmware is without whistles-and-bells, but it's quite stable.
