Thanks, not sure how I missed that!
Hey! So I tried flashing Linux on the ihost. I turned maskrom mode on (green flashing light) downloaded all the drivers after that I opened the flash tool and I put in the Linux for ihost image. There are two variants on the forum for flashing I first used the Chinese version because I didn’t saw the other one until later. The chine version failed flashing and now the lights are red. After that I discovered the English and newer version of the flash tool but it wouldn’t want to go into maskrom mode. After a bit of thinkering it’s in maskrom mode but it keeps failing to flash or do anything whatsoever ( see attached picture). Can someone please help me with this? Thanks

Darn. I haven’t tried flashing it yet, because I still have hope that at least with access to the USB port, I will be able to fully use the iHost for Home Assistant (with full access for Zigbee Home Assistant (ZHA)).
@JordanWise - Do you know if there is any newer version out there?
Thanks and cheers
i have flashed, how i can install hassios? dpkg and apt not found
It does not support dpkg…
If you want to install home assistance on this linux os, you can do so through python. Of course, you can also install HA core through docker.

I got enough tilting at windmills so disconnectet iHost and flashed my old amlogic TV Box with armbian (on SD card), then Python and Home Assistant core. It works great. Very stable and power consumbtion is 1.52 Watt with running HA and zigbe dongle connected (ZHA).
First of all I don’t think it is possible to give HA access to zigbee coordinator on iHost. You can do that only with your own linux flashed on iHost, but it’ll take at least a year.
But there is one improvementon iHost. Look at attached picture
Unfortunately it is only replacement solution but you can use zigbee dongle in HA on iHost in ZHA mode.
I suggest to read this forum:

Thank you for your information. I took a quick look at your retweet and, as Tim L mentioned, if you’re familiar with both HAOS and building a linux distro, there’s not much difficulty in porting HAOS to ihost.
If you are having trouble building your own distro, you can contact us here and we will help you in the best possible way.

I tried to mount the sdcard to the docker overlay folder but at startup it doesn’t always start despite being inserted in fstab. does anyone know how to tell docker that its folder is somewhere else?

Firstly, stop your dockerd:
/etc/init.d/S60dockerd stop
make sure your sdcard is in ext4 format,and mount on rootfs:
mount -t ext4 /dev/mmcblk2p1 /mnt/sdcard
and then mount your sdcard dir to docker workspace:
mount --bind /your/sdcard/path/to/dockerd /var/lib/docker/
mount --bind /your/sdcard/path/to/containerd /etc/docker/
finally, restart dockerd:
/etc/init.d/S60dockerd restart
or
edit /etc/init.d/S60dockerd to chang root dir, locate at DAEMON_ARGS Options and fill in:
DAEMON_ARGS="--data-root=/path/to/your/sdcard/"

for me work only bluetooth with hassio.
zigbee no
wifi no
button no
there is a solutions?

Zigbee works, just put /dev/ttyS4 in ZHA setup (baudrate is 115200) .
Wifi - probably not
Buttons (and LEDs) will require a custom HA integration to work

Both WiFi and BLE can be implemented using the RTL8723 module - the driver for this module should already be installed on this image.

hello it would be nice if you described in video the steps for novices who want to try to install homeassistant supervisor
Not there quite yet. 
But the pieces are forming. And I believe that once it is possible, sales for the iHost will go up with the enormous user base Home Assistant has. Sonoff has in the past done well with keeping the door open to the community. Thanks for that.
I myself for instance have several NSPro Panels. Two with the original software and two running on a different environment. Without that option I only would have bought one (if at all).
It is not possible to run supervisor on this Image, you can only run HA Docker.
I am one kernel away from having an initial build of HAOS though.

for the YC1175 MCU chip is there a datasheet or a way to control it from serial? this should control the leds. how can I do? I only understood that it is on uart3.
Zigbee works great.
To mount the SD card, unfortunately it happens that at startup it doesn’t always mount it automatically, not even with fstab. maybe some service interferes with the mounting
thanks u
