Libreelec on Nvidia Tegra K1?

reey · November 28, 2017 at 1:39 PM

Hello,

I would like to build an Libreelec image for my Acer Chromebook 13 CB5-311.

There are some scripts available which install/build archlinux/kali for it.

(GitHub - RaumZeit/LinuxOnAcerCB5-311: Put a linux distribution on Acer Chromebook CB5-311 ... / offensive-security/kali-arm-build-scripts · GitHub)

I would love to run libreelec on it and I think this should be somehow possible.

The Tegra K1 should also have mainline support and the graphics should be supported by nouveau.
But I don't know where to start to build it.

Regards,

Reey

It requires a different graphics stack to our current one for nVidia and probably requires a different EFI bios, e.g. MrChromebox.tech (which does not list that Acer device as supported). I don't want to sound negative, but from past experience this is one of those situations where "those who can, get on with it" and "those who can't, ask us how to do it" .. i.e. if you don't already understand our build-system and what needs to be done in detail the chances of success are low, because there are no howto guides or scripts or instructions for this. Sorry..

thanks for your reply.

So your saying, that it is doable?

I will try my luck, but as I'm not that experienced, I don't think, that I will get this to work.

Everything is possible with appropriate time, effort and skills. It's not a simple task though. Supporting a new device platform requires a lot more than rebuilding a couple of drivers.
