## Devices

### AG-216 Android TV box
### AG-216 Android TV boxes

Two identical boxes with the same firmware (checked 2026-10-13):

| | Aceline-1 | Aceline-2 |
|---|---|---|
| Address | `172.17.32.144:5555` (Ethernet); Wi‑Fi is also up as `172.17.32.146` | `172.17.32.145:5555` (Ethernet) |
| Display | **none** (headless): only `screencap`, the debug page and the logs show what is on screen | **monitor** Philips 226VL over HDMI (HDMI audio active); for checks that need a real picture or a person looking |
| Serial | `KFB442005119` | `KFB442001288` |
| Extra apps | Yandex Browser TV, Faceter, Record Radio | VK TV, Wink, VLC, Nova; autostart `com.oranth.atvapplist` |

Common to both:

| | |
|---|---|
| Address | `172.17.32.144:5555`, lab network, ADB over TCP, no authorization prompt, shell uid 2000 (no root) |
| Android | 10 (API 29), `armeabi-v7a` |
| Screen | 1280×720 (16:9) |
| HW video decoder | `OMX.allwinner.video.decoder.avc` (the board reports itself as Amlogic, but the codec is Allwinner); H.265 is decoded as `video/hevc` |
| Network | Ethernet |
| Access | ADB over TCP on port 5555, no authorization prompt, shell uid 2000 (no root) |
| Model | `AG-216` (`ro.product.brand`/`manufacturer` say Amlogic, product `p281`); the SoC is **Allwinner** `sun50iw9p1` (H313/H616 family), platform `cupid` / `homlet` |
| Firmware | `eros_p1-userdebug 10 QP1A.191105.004 251022 release-keys`, built 2025-10-22, kernel 4.9.170, security patch 2019-12-05 |
| Fingerprint | `Amlogic/p281/p281:10/QP1A.191105.004/251022:userdebug/release-keys` |
| Android | 10 (API 29), `armeabi-v7a` (32-bit userspace on a 64-bit CPU) |
| RAM / storage | 2 GB / `/data` 11 GB |
| Screen | 1280×720 (16:9), 60 Hz, 160 dpi, `television` UI mode, no touch |
| HW video decoder | `OMX.allwinner.video.decoder.avc`; H.265 is decoded as `video/hevc` |
| Quirks | The vendor firmware sometimes shows its own "Update Alert!!" dialog after screen off/on; unrelated to the app |

Check the firmware of a box: `$ADB shell getprop ro.build.description`. If it changes, update the table above.

#### Developer settings

Both boxes are kept in sync (aligned on 2026-10-13). Check with `$ADB shell settings get <namespace> <key>`:

| Setting | Value | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Developer options, ADB | on | |
| `global stay_on_while_plugged_in` | `3`; screen-off timeout never | the screen never sleeps during a run |
| Animation scales | 1.0 | |
| `system pointer_location`, `system show_touches` | 0 | the pointer overlay would be drawn on top of the app and end up in screenshots |
| `secure anr_show_background` | 1 | ANR dialogs of background apps are shown (#76) |
| `global package_verifier_enable`, `verifier_verify_adb_installs` | 0, 0 | `adb install` is not verified (no delay, no prompt on screen) |
| `global hdmi_control_enabled` / `hdmi_control_auto_device_off_enabled` | 1 / 0 | CEC on, but the box does not switch the display off |
| Locale | `en-GB` | system UI and app strings in English, also in screenshots |

Set without root: `settings put …` for the keys; the locale via Settings → Language (`am start -a android.settings.LOCALE_SETTINGS`, D-pad to *English (United Kingdom)*). Left as they are, not used by the app: `debug_view_attributes`, `force_allow_on_external`, `force_resizable_activities` (on only on Aceline-1).

Not available in the lab yet: a phone or tablet (rotation, #31), a Wi‑Fi Android device (multicast lock), Android 5.
