LE 8.2.5 with UHD 630 / Coffee Lake / Gemini Lake support and luks

  • +++ now with Custom Update Channels, new Download links and Version numbering changed +++

    see the explanation in post #155

    and here you can go direct to the download http://sky42.libreelec.tv/release/8.2/

    and sources are on GitHub see post #157

    +++ these are fairly new and might not be stable +++

    8.2.5-6.x kernel 4.19 for UHD 630 / Coffee Lake / Gemini Lake

    +++ this one should be fairly stable +++

    8.2.5-3.x kernel 4.14 has (for me) working LSPCon/refresh rate fix and GLK HDMI fix v5

    +++ should be as stable as LE 8.2.5 +++

    8.2.5-1.x cryptsetup luks, WPA/WPA2 EAPOL fix, libssh security fixes

    +++ most up to date version +++

    8.2.5-7.x kernel 4.19 should work with nearly all modern GPU up to Nvidia RTX 2070/2080 and AMD Vega20


    mirror of download with a full set of files HiDrive

    all my LibreELEC old 8.2.5 files HiDrive


    There are 3 versions and each adds more features/changes and that doesent mean bigger is better just different.


    what was added:

    - 2 hooks for the boot process

    /flash/post-flash.sh (if exist) after flash mount

    /flash/mount-storage.sh (if exist) you can do /storage mount instead of the normal way

    - kernel config for cryptsetuponly for Generic/RPi/RPi2/Wetek_Play

    - package cryptsetup

    - package fscryptctl

    - kernel commandline parsing for ramlimit to get SYSTEM loadad to RAM on RPi2 with "ramlimit=680000" in /flash/cmdline.txt

    - for coffee lake many software updates are needed (see below)

    some of the cryptsetup, lvm2 and kernel config was taken from LE 8 Remix git and slightly changed.

    - cryptsetup luks i used to create and mount encrypted userdata

    - i3-8100 Coffee Lake playback works for me with ASRock B360m itx

  • I dont have any gemini lake hardware for testing.

    What file did you take to install/update?

    only these 2 are probably working

    LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2.5-5.42-kernel-4.14.39.tar

    LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2.5-5.42-kernel-4.14.39.img.gz

    take them from here HiDrive

  • updated all download links with new share links and they are pointing direct to the correct folder

    and

    changed order of download links, so that the coffee lake one is now frist

  • Can somebody else confirm that Gemini Lake does work with my 8.2.5-5.42?

    When i can get confirmations for J5005, J4105 (already done by tomtomclub) and J4005 i would add Gemini Lake to the topic.


    @tomomclub: sorry for the 4 hour searching/testing, i should have made all the download links direct from the beginning

  • Sorry i am not a developer. I just gather information, patches, new software versions and try to build them.

    If i had to guess i would say the plugin.video.quasar ist the problem, but i am just guessing. The other thing that looks probably problematic is the cec.

    You have a lot of plugins. For me it is just kodi + tvheadend client + unpause jumpback. That is pretty stable for me (so far).

    sky42 the 8.2.5-5.42 version does work on my Asrock J4105-ITX (like tomtomclub, so no surprise here). To display Kodi on a 24" Dell monitor and and a 40" LED TV is/was no problem, with this/"your" version, but our new LG OLED65E7V (living room) has still no idea what for picture it had to display. ;) Sometimes I saw the upper left part of Kodi very very very big in a blue-ish, pink-ish and purple-ish color scheme... but not all the time the system was running.

    Because I bought this board to upgrade the HTPC for the living room so my quest was, and is, not finished.

    As a test I put windows 10 on the system and again nothing happens (no picture on the OLED, the same as "your" working version) until I installed the (Intel® UHD Graphics 600) video driver from intel (only in Windows, nothing before that).

    I hope I can fix this (timing?) problem and start using LibreELEC again but maybe someone else have or maybe had the same problem and already did find a solution.

  • If i find time next week i try todo the part of my wishlist and build a version 8.2.5-6.42 with kernel 4.16.

    Edited once, last by sky42 (May 7, 2018 at 7:48 PM).

  • NINjak try this one HiDrive with kernel 4.16.8 build just now and still with a wrong version numnber 8.2.5-5.42. I am just doing a full rebuild and that takes about 90min. On my i3-8100 the testing version bootet just now, but no testing at all so far.

    The real 8.2.5-6.42 wil follow and here are the changes so far

    8.2.5-6.42 with kernel 4.16.8 and Coffee Lake support

    - based on 8.2.5-5.42

    - Coffee Lake Support without i915 alpha features

    - additional driver disabled bcm_sta RTL8192CU RTL8192DU RTL8192EU RTL8188EU RTL8812AU

    - kernel driver enabled RTL8XXXU RTL8192CU

    - removed kernel patch linux-051-ouya_controller_support.patch and linux-053-spinelplus-remote-0.2.patch
