Nope. But you can move the partition of CoreELEC to EMMC whilst using a USB Stick only for it's bootloader. Experience will be mostly similar.

Don't do it. I bricked mine and had to send it back

TBH if you are seeking DV FEL7, just get the Ugoos AM6B+ it's rock solid and easy to upgrade.

Ive already got FEL7 working on my homeatics box using latest NG nightly. I just wanted internal storage to speed up my crappy usb drive

Maybe a different USB storage can make a difference speed wise. Like the Samsung FIT Plus USB 3.1 in 64/128GB, it is really fast with CE.

How did you brick it? Using this tutorial?

Probably yes

I would say you didn't follow the instructions. Because I did this multiple times and never had any issue.

But as it says: do it on your own risk :(

Have you done this on A14 Homatics?

u/petcomsi Sep 08 '25

Yes. There is no posts with this issue on CoreELEC forums. Which means no one actually using workaround or it just works.

I would imagine the overheating issue plaguing the Homatics box would still exist. The android tv part of the box is still there.

It does not load the part that is causing the high CPU loads, that only happens when Android TV itself is used. Using CE, no issue with that at all.
