Riotboard support

vasi · October 13, 2017 at 4:36 PM

Hello,

I have a Riotboard (with imx6) and I'd like to install Libreelec on it.

Is it a chance to install Libreelec on EMMC ?

Every time I get black screen on HDMI and on Terminal.

If I try to write Ubuntu or Android from Element14 all is OK.

Could someone help me with a step by step tutorial or the files which must be written on EMMC ?

Thank you very much,

Vasi

Looks like you've hit the IMX6 black screen issue.

Try with 3.14 kernel Here on a SD card first.

Thank you very much Iridium.

I will try and post.

Riotboard is not supported. There is no appropriate bootloader nor device tree currently in the image.

Device tree source I see with linux 4.4 so there should be option to get it running. Also mainline u-boot also includes support for it.

If you really, really like to run le on it I can try to make image with it. But no promises it will work.

Iridium: every imx6 device needs it own image.

vpeter : Thank you very much for your answer.

Would be awesome to run LE on RiotBoard.

I will wait for news from you. Thank you very much again for your help.

With a SD Card and 3.14 kernel I had this output on my HDMI:

If it doesn't boot automatically try loading device tree and kernel from u-boot prompt.

Thank you very much for image.

It doesn't boot automatically.

Can you help me to load kernel and device tree from u-boot prompt ?

I'm a beginner and I tried, but I did not succeed.
