With the inovato store closed and especially now that the Quadra4K is out-of-stock, don't worry! You still have options to get HamClock in your shack. Note that none of these options is associated with inovato.
Option 1 (Recommended). N0LSR is now selling the same hardware as the Quadra, preflashed with HamClock and ready to use. It is as the Quadra in everything but name. and is now in stock. he is also offering the restore SD card, preflashed if you don't feel like making your own as well as downloads for the images. These have the fix for the issue of HamClock filling storage space with its log file.
Give him a big "thank you" for offering to continue what the Quadra started!
Option 2. Reflash a TV box yourself. I will be testing various models so this will be a dynamic list for a while. At any given time, some or all might be out-of-stock as since we are closing, the demand for compatible boxes has gone significantly up. At times, it may be that none are available on Amazon, but are likely available on Alibaba or AliExpress. Make sure to check that the processor is an H618 as sometimes brand names get recycled using different components. Also, the Quadra firmware requires 4G of memory (DRAM) and 32G or 64G of storage. Don't buy units without these features as they will not work.
RBOX HK1: Available here on Amazon. This uses the same hardware as the Quadra4K and is what will be offered by
N0LSR, preflashed. It should look like this:
RBOX HK1 (variant).
Available here on Amazon. This is another variant of the RBOX HK1 model above. It looks different, but is functionally identical:
T95Z & T95MAX:
Available here and
here.
NOTE THESE ARE COMPATIBLE EXCEPT FOR WIFI and the front panel display doesn't work. So they would require an Ethernet connection. If you can find any of the above models, they are a more complete solution. They should look like this:
Then reflash any of these models to Quadra4K firmware with HamClock following the instructions here. These devices come with Android (and TV box firmware), so we overwrite it with our Linux image with HamClock.
The following model(s) are NOT compatible even though they use an H618 processor: LEFFOT (no SD card slot so can't be relashed).
