Sure a good price

Just ordered - a have a suitable M2242 SSD spare, so got the one without an SSD for $A240 delivered.
It would be nice if it was powered by USB-C, but oh well.

OK this arrived last week, and I finally got time to test it. Turns out the 2242 SSD I had wasn't compatible, so I had to order another which arrived today.
Installation of AOS 5.1 latest beta is underway (this has UEFI only) - major issue for now is that the NIC is not supported. It's an I225-V that uses the igc driver on FreeBSD. This driver has not yet been ported to AOS :(
A 'testlog generic' from the AOS Installer is attached. For now, I'm going to create a 5gb transfer partition to transfer files via linux to allow updates to things like Uniaud.
Cheers,
Paul
Edit: added a post install 'testlog generic' and 'testlog uniaud' - audio isn't detected, I'll investigate that when time permits.
Paul Smedley:
As mentioned, the AOS uniaud32.sys doesn't work with this hardware, so I tried replacing uniaud32.sys with my latest build.
Unfortunately for reasons unknown to me right now, the boot stopped with:
ERROR: Initialization failed.
pci_register_driver: query device found fb 8086:4dc8 class=40300
checking bt878
OSS32_Initialize: FAILEDUnable to attach 32-bit driver
...
and a 'Press ENTER to continue...' that I can't get past as I'm using a
USB keyboard - which I guess isn't recognised yet....
Now I need to work out why my build of uniaud32 isn't finding the hardware....

Hi Paul
Thanks for sharing the info. I created this page about your "ZX01 Mini PC Intel N5105"
I have some questions.
- It has no NVMe support, right? I guess the M.2 port is just SATA.
- Are you using Panorama for the video, right?
- It has two HDMI ports. Does one works and the other don't? Or both display the same image?
- Have you tested the SD Slot card. Does it work? Is it the Intel Jasper Lake SCS1: eMMC Controller 8086:4DC4 ? I don't know anything about it, neither how to start testing it.
Thanks Paul for trying it out.
Regards

Hi Martin!
1) No idea re NVMe vs M.2 - the SSD I used was https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0876KJ8CV
2) Yes, panorama
3) Will try the 2nd HDMI port when I get a chance
4) No I haven't tried the SD slot yet.
re: my builds of uniaud32 - I rem'd out uniaud16.sys and the system booted - alsa.log attached.
The pertinent lines seems to be:
--- Code: ---Initializing rbtree cache
No i915 binding for Intel HDMI/DP codec
Destroying rbtree cache
Unable to bind the codec - err = -19
Cannot probe codecs, giving up
--- End code ---
Off to look for 'No i915 binding for Intel HDMI/DP codec' in the uniaud32 source :)
Cheers,
Paul

Re: 3) the second HDMI port gives a blank screen.
Made some progress towards resolving the i915 error message, found a related source file that want being built, but it's still not working. Need to stare at the code a bit longer to see why :)
