If you plan to use the Minix remote or the A2/A3 remotes then save the following file here on the root of your flash drive as X:/remote.conf.
Ethernet not working:
There is an issue with the 9.2.2 release dtb, use the following one here.
Install to internal eMMC:
If you wish to install CoreELEC to the internal eMMC, then you will need to enable SSH and connect to your device and enter `ceemmc -x`, the default username and password is root/coreelec (WARNING: If you do a dual boot installation on eMMC then do not accept any future OTA or you will lose your CoreELEC install).
Sleep/Wakeup not working:
If you wish to use Sleep/Wakeup functions then you must do BL301 injection, to do this go-to Add-ons>CoreELEC Configuration>Hardware>Inject BL301 Blob and press OK>Continue then select IR Remote Power Code>Minix.
