Baidu Xiaodu Speaker for Genie

I am interested to give Genie a try. From here, Installing Genie on On Your Own Device | Genie Wiki , there is an option to use Xiaodu speaker from Baidu as a client. However it doesn’t mention which model or link to the speaker. Has anyone tried Genie on Xiaodu speaker? If yes, please share which model you are using.

Edit: It looks very similar to this…

Can anyone confirm this is the one they are using in the demo video?

I have the same doubt.

I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m currently looking at getting this speaker myself.
I do believe this one should work, as it was used in the live demo they did during the ‘State of the Open Home 2021’ livestream: State of the Open Home 2021 - YouTube

I don’t think it’s the same speaker. The seller said it doesn’t have any USB port at the back of the speaker, whereas the guide on Installing Genie on a Xiaodu Speaker | Genie Wiki mentioned about connecting the speaker using micro USB cable.

I jumped in at the deep end and got one! It has a USB port under the rubber feet, I can’t seem to be able to get ADB running but will try later coming week to get it working

any luck? where did you buy it?

No luck yet, it seems that you really need a developer unit, not a consumer unit. I bought it on Aliexpress, but I would suggest you don’t buy it since it doesn’t seem to work. I am trying to find a way in and unlock the device

ok. thanks for confirming this.

I also bit the bullet and bought one of these speakers from Alliexpress.

I can confirm that the speaker does have the micro-usb under the rubber base but as of now I cannot get it to connect with ADB either.

Has anyone been able to get it to work?
