Powkiddy x55 - READ ME BEFORE UPDATING
With JELOS version 20220527 we introduced a fix that corrected an issue
with the device powering on and booting when it was connected to a
charger. If you've already re-flashed your x55 with 20220527, you can
ignore this section.
This fix changes how the device boots and cannot be mitigated by an
update alone. The JELOS team recommends that you re-flash your device.
If you have updated and you're here because you have a black screen and
the device will not boot - you're in luck because manual recovery is
pretty easy.
Manual Recovery Steps
* Eject the microsd and insert it into a Window/Linux/Mac PC.
* Open /extlinux/extlinux.conf with a text editor like Visual Studio
Code.
* Change: FDTDIR / to FDT /rk3566-evb2-lp4x-v10-linux.dtb
* Save and eject the card.
* Insert the card in your x55, and it should power on normally.
* Enter the System Settings Menu in ES.
* Enable FORCE NEXT UPDATE.
* Back out of the menu to save.
* Re-enter System Settings, and select START UPDATE.

for online play manually.
* Adds a start script to the tools menu for Ryujinx on supported
devices.
Bug Fixes

+ Correction requires a modification in how the device boots.
When you connect a charger and the power is off, the device
will now power on. This is expected behavior and not a bug.
+ As the method of booting has changed, it is possible that
battery reporting could be inaccurate and require a battery
reset. To reset, disconnect the battery from the mainboard for
10 seconds.
+ DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRAIN THE BATTERY TO RESET, this will cause
the charge controller to become even more inaccurate.

20231201 -
New Features
* The JELOS team is happy to announce support for merged storage!
This change merges your internal or tf1 microsd storage with your
external microsd to allow both devices to be used as game storage!
+ Requires the microsd card to be formatted as ext4, the feature
is automatically disabled when ExFAT and FAT are used as those
filesystems are not compatible.
+ We now have a new directory structure for games:
o Internal Storage (or tf1): /storage/games-internal
o External MicroSD (or tf2): /storage/games-external
o Combined Path: /storage/roms
+ Games and data copied to /storage/roms will be saved to
/storage/games-internal.
+ Samba has been updated to present both volumes for network
access.
+ EmulationStation now has an eject option under System Settings
-> Hardware /Storage that is available when merged storage is
active.
+ When a compatible microsd is inserted, JELOS will
automatically add it to the overlay if merged storage is
active, making the content available to ES after a gamelist
update or an ES restart.
+ The udevil service will no longer mount microsd cards to
/run/media, however it will still handle mounting all other
external storage.
+ After the update, JELOS will automatically migrate your
current roms directory to /storage/games-internal once.
+ A new function is available in System Settings to disable
merged storage, please disable before copying files into the
games folders.
+ The rom split tool is now deprecated as it is no longer
needed.
* Adds saving for TWB64 and Pixelshift Gambatte palettes, thanks to
[121]@GlazedBelmont!

immediately rather than requiring users to back out of menus to
save.
* Update Linux to 6.6.3 and 6.1.4, Mesa updated to 23.3.0.
* Anbernic RG552 and RK3326 devices now shift into powersave mode
before sleep to significantly reduce power consumption while
sleeping.

patch for improved optimization.

correctly under certain conditions.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20231212 -
New Features
* Adds support for changing the merged storage target between the
internal and external card.
+ Since JELOS creates the games directory structure it is
possible that the overlay will hide games if you switch
targets as it will consider them removed. Delete the empty
directories and reboot to resolve.
o Ex: find /storage/games-internal -type d -empty -delete
&& find /storage/games-external -type d -empty -delete &&
reboot
+ Merged storage can now be disabled persistently.
+ A new directory structure is required to enable switching:
o /storage/games-internal/roms
o /storage/games-external/roms
o The target /storage/roms has not changed.
o Games will be migrated automatically when possible.
o If game directories are not created correctly, ssh into
the device and run systemd-tmpfiles --create
/usr/config/system-dirs.conf.
* Lowers RK3566 device clocks when put to sleep.
* Adds ATSC acceleration and CPU accuracy options to Yuzu.
* Adds TWB64 - Pack 3, thanks to [121]@GlazedBelmont!

Bug Fixes
* Corrects an issue with merged storage preventing EmulationStation
from enabling the menu options.
* Fixes an issue with system directory creation and switches the
function from automatic to an option in System Settings that
creates them on demand. This resolves a conflict condition that can
hide games as duplicate directories may exist before the overlay is
initialized. See previous release notes (20231212) as a fix is
provided for affected users.
Note: For the 'CREATE GAME DIRECTORIES' to work correctly, users
will need to create /storage/games-internal/roms or
/storage/games-external/roms manually. This issue will be corrected
in the next release.
