Description

Hello,

I am the owner of a Xiaomi Mi Box S (model MDZ-22-AB), which ships with U-Boot and a Linux kernel, both licensed under GPLv2. Under GPLv2 Section 3, Xiaomi is required to make the complete, corresponding source code for these components available to anyone who receives the binary — either by including it with the product, providing a written offer valid for at least three years, or another compliant method.

Others have previously raised similar requests in the MiCode/MiBox_Kernel_OpenSource repository, which currently only lists a branch for the original MIBOX3 (global), not the MDZ-22-AB, and received no response, so I have posted here along with there.

Could you please either:

Point me to where the complete U-Boot and kernel source for MDZ-22-AB is published, or
Confirm a timeline for its release if it hasn't yet been made available.

I'd appreciate a response within 30 days. Happy to provide the firmware version/build number from my device if that helps locate the correct source tree.

Thank you.
