Download LibreELEC v8.90.005 ALPHA for S912

Good night!

I wonder to know which one is the one i have to download for S912 core?

on nightly builds there is a specific version (like LibreELEC-S912.arm-9.0-nightly-20180915-56eae68.tar), but i'm unable to find it in the 8.90.005 version. There are only these versions in the download area:

RPi 2/3 LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-8.90.005.img.gz (info)

RPi 0/1 LibreELEC-RPi.arm-8.90.005.img.gz (info)

Generic LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.90.005.img.gz (info)

Odroid_C2 LibreELEC-Odroid_C2.arm-8.90.005.img.gz (info)

KVIM LibreELEC-KVIM.arm-8.90.005.img.gz (info)

WeTek_Play_2 LibreELEC-WeTek_Play_2.arm-8.90.005.img.gz (info)

Where can i download 8.90.005 for amlogic S912?

is it one of this?

Does lastest nightly-build include all improvements of the 8.90.005 version?

Official Libreelec is only compatible with some devices with amlogic, such as odroid, wetek ...

Current S912 support depends on a hack using libhybris to work around the lack of Linux libmali blobs that is not acceptable to LE/Kodi staff for official releases; hence there are none (only community efforts). We are assisting and encouraging open-source alternatives to libmali that may allow us to start officially supporting S912 hardware in the future.

There is proper Linux support for Mali utgard chips (M400/M450) so S905/D/L/X/W etc. are supported in current Alpha releases.

Thank chewitt you for answering!

More than we expect and the same support updated!

My question and the mainline kernel kernel v4.18 is possible for (KI Pro S905D)?

Libreelerc will support it or we can forget it!

The sound problem in the WeTek player continues.

erbas GXL devices (S905X/D/W/L) have mainline support and we continue to make progress on the display driver and video decoder.

Good to hear that, my friend. chewitt

Where can I find an image with the mainline kernel to test on my device?

Is there any nightly builds or something?

Is it possible to compile with the new kernel?

I found here in the forum a friend using wetek with new kernel!

which is the way to go to see it working!

Good friend, thank you for clarifying everything.

I have no intention of publishing development/test images anytime soon because I have no time to support anything at the moment. Once LE 9.0 has shipped I'll start to push changes into the amlogic branch of our main repo and some nightly builds can be organised.

inter981 · September 27, 2018 at 1:34 PM

so, are not any improvements in each nightly update?

number is increasing anyway for s912...
