Echo Show 5 Gen 2 (LineageOS)

Caution

This is an import-only community profile based on one contributor’s diagnostic report in GitHub #28. It describes that user’s LineageOS 18.1 reflash, not the retail device as sold. Stock Fire OS cannot run ha-paneld, and this profile is not bundled, automatically selected or validated by the project.

The reported 2021 device is a 5.5-inch smart display whose reflash identifies the hardware with device codename cronos and model Amzn Echo Show 5 (2nd Generation). The community profile requires both observed values in the same match group; it can be broadened only after another diagnostic proves a real firmware variant.

Profile fingerprint	device cronos plus model Amzn Echo Show 5 (2nd Generation)
SoC	MediaTek MT8163, four cores
Android	LineageOS 18.1 / Android 11 (API 30), userdebug
ABI	armeabi-v7a (32-bit userspace)
Display	960×480 at 195 dpi, 5.5 inches
RAM / storage	1 GB / 8 GB
Root	app-accessible Android-style su on the one reported LineageOS build
Sensors	ambient light reported; no Android proximity sensor reported
LED / relays / Zigbee	none reported
System WebView	LineageOS WebView 146 reported

Profile scope

The community-cronos-lineageos18.yaml profile selects only existing compiled Android mechanisms: ordinary brightness-based screen-off, Android ambient-light sensing and the reported Android-style su form. It declares no RGB LED, relay, radio, hardware-button, CPU-governor or density behaviour.

The root declaration records evidence from one image; it does not grant authority. After activation and restart, the running driver must probe the live route. A missing or blocked route remains unavailable and must not be treated as proof that another reflash is compatible.

Limitations

• Unlocking, reflashing, recovery and maintaining the community LineageOS image are outside the ha-paneld project. No installation instructions or recovery images are supplied here.
• The profile does not describe the first-generation Echo Show 5 or any Echo Show 8 generation.
• The reported /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight node is not evidence of a supported hardware backlight writer. Screen control remains on the ordinary Android brightness route.
• The reported minimum brightness of 10 matches ha-paneld’s general never-blank floor and does not establish a hardware limit.

Use the community catalogue procedure to import and validate the YAML. Review a fresh on-panel diagnostic report and confirm every expected capability after restart before relying on it unattended.
