Beelink GT-King Series Dual System Plan
CoreELEC is a ‘Just enough OS’ Linux distribution based on Kodi technology for popular Amlogic hardware.
Official support
In order to allow users who choose the Beelink TV box to enjoy more functions, in the past, we reached an in-depth cooperation with the CoreELEC development team. The CoreELEC team will adapt our products, our GT-King and GT-King Pro You can use the CoreELEC system directly, and we will continue to cooperate in the future to adapt more products.
System pre-installed
In order to thank users for their support for our products, we will give away an 8GB SD / TF card with CoreELEC system after the GT-king series products are sold. Just insert the SD / TF card in our GT-King series products. You can directly use the CoreELEC system.
Free switching
In order to facilitate the user to switch freely between the Android AOSP system and the CoreELEC system when using dual systems, we have added the system option of switching to SD / TF card in the firmware of the GT-King series products. Just press and hold the power off button of the remote control, and the System switch option will appear as shown in the figure below. Select this option and confirm, the machine will restart into the CoreELEC system in the SD / TF card. See how to use the dual system card that comes with the product, or directly check the CoreELEC section of the Beelink forum.
We will adapt to more third-party systems in the future. If there is a third-party system you like, you can also contact us. We will try to contact the corresponding developers to adapt our products.
