LED lights not working / Upgrade CM3

NeXrom · July 28, 2018 at 7:45 PM

Hello, is there a manual to get the LEDs working? Do I have to activate something?

I've install the latest Libreelec Version 8.2.3

What do I have to buy when I want to get the CM3? I have the original slice.

is this the right product? how is the install working, plug and play? remove the old CM1 and plug the ne CM3 in?

Can i put the "LibreELEC-Slice3.arm-8.2.3.tar" simple in the Update folder an then reboot the slice?

Thanks!

It's the correct product (there is only one kind of CM3 card) but you cannot upgrade using the Slice3 .tar file. CM3 requires a new install of LE 8.2.3 using the .img.gz file (mount the Slice storage on Windows or Linux and then use our USB/SD creator app to write the image) because the internal emmc storage is on the CM3 card; i.e. when you remove the CM(1) card you also remove the storage. It's not a big issue, just make a backup before you upgrade and then restore afterwards.

The LED light ring should work "out of the box" in the LE 8.2.3 image. The only reasons I can think of for it not working are /flash/config.txt has been edited (or restored) to disable the slice overlay, or hardware was damaged while making the CM > CM3 upgrade.
