OK.. My bad.  Guess it's been updated since the last time I checked it 🙂

Either way, pretty sure that amlogic will only boot recovery media via mSD card.  You can install updates and stuff from USB, but recovery/full booting can only be done via mSD.  So on these boxes, I don't think you have an option other than mSD.

On PCs, USB is perfectly fine, since they boot from USB.

But obviously, the dilemma is, how do you boot from mSD on a device that has no mSD slot 🙂

Maybe @Betatester can elaborate if the HD5 has actually been tested (or just assumed, since it is similar family as the X5 and U5).

When we made the HD5, due to spacing issues when tooling

It was either have an Ethernet Port or SD Card slot
We chose Ethernet.

gotcha

just went and looked at mine

I know the st-4000 has it

I should never assume...lol
