MeLE A2000

I purchased a MeLE A2000 from Tom over at aliexpress, and been playing around with it as well. First I wanted to install ICS4, to do that I downloaded the android_4.0.img file from the 'net. Alas, there is a large volume of confusing information on what to do with this.

For the MeLE A2000, I also downloaded PhoenixCardV303(win7) and installed that in my VirtualBox Win7 system, forwarded the OSX USB drive and told it to install android_4.0.img.

After that, I inserted the SD card into Mele, and rebooted.

The power LED will blink RED + BLUE for a while, then power LED will turn off.

Take out SDcard, and reboot MeLE. It will now boot ICS, but only on HDMI@720p.

I can confirm BubbleUPNP + 2160pPlayer will play 1080p MKVs over network. Nice!


Google Market/Play

I installed one of the Terminal programs, and told adb to use TCP (haven't bothered to open my mele yet). Using adb and the instructions found allwinner a10 scripts I loaded Google Market/Play to the mele.

Changing resolution

No idea yet.


U-boot

Since I added ZFS to u-boot for CuBox, and also patched in Samsungs EXT4 patches, I built hno's u-boot to test.

wget http://lundman.net/ftp/mele/sunxi-spl.bin
dd if=sunxi-spl.bin of=/dev/sdc bs=1024 seek=8        # Obviously, sdc is my SDcard, change device to applicable.

wget http://lundman.net/ftp/mele/u-boot.bin
dd if=u-boot.bin of=/dev/sdc bs=1024 seek=32          # Obviously, sdc is my SDcard, change device to applicable.
