sad news 
we can bury our cb2 boards.
Old, crap stock android 4.x. Armbian - non official supported. I try Lakka, but it even not boot. LE is the best that i try.
7 years for kernel support - hw decoding and hdmi-audio. No one have time and want to fix code for old chip support.
When and if there is a volunteer, the A10 / A20 will fall further behind technology.
To concentrate on the positive ....
I will be glad to keep A20 port alive or resurrect it later.
That would be great, thank you. Reading recent testing results on the Nightly images for A20, A64, H3, H5, H6 and R40 boards thread, is it the case that a number of recent commits have led to this situation?
It would be good if your proposed port could be taken at a point just before any such troublesome commits and, if at all possible, in the most stable possible position. I think all the Allwinner early adopters would appreciate the port you propose, thanks jernej.
Display MoreGuys, I'm considering removing A20 support from master branch, which would also mean no more nightly images and certainly no stable images once LE10 is released. I tested olinuxino micro A20 board today and there is a ton of kernel related issues. In order to fix them I would need to spend considerable amount of time studying various HW cores which I don't want (A20 HW is pretty different in comparison to any other currently supported AW SoC).
Observerd issues:
- HDMI audio driver crashes at resolution switch
- HDMI audio sometimes doesn't work
- HDMI EDID is sometimes read incorrectly (fall back to 1024x768 and no audio)
- HW video decoding crashes (out of memory) during interlaced H264 video playback
- after playback, Kodi GUI may become corrupted (GPU driver issue? Kodi bug? who knows)
In my opinion, above issues make images unusable, except in some not so common cases. Additionally, SoC is very weak and memory has limited bandwith. Even a bit newer H3 is much better supported and has none of the described problems.
If there is someone who wants to fix above and possibly other issues, I will be glad to keep A20 port alive or resurrect it later.
Where i can get last build for a20?
I think it's worth trying a inet1 ... In any case - thank you very much!
Welcome, an inet1 image has compiled successfully, named, LibreELEC-A10.arm-9.80-devel-20201025105102-6552c51-inet1.img.gz
That is compiled from a (historical) point from which I do not yet have a Cubieboard image to test.

You can download it from this place:
Hopefully the image will stay available for download even though support will be dropped, since it's the only trustable source.

TY, but here is an image from August(It is not last build), I have from September.

Where did you get the one from September? The only other place I know is Index of / , but I can't find it there. If you got it there, I guess they've already deleted it (why though?).

I took in September from Index of / , but not there now.

That place is maintained by scripts. Images gets deleted when build job is started and uploaded when building is finished. Given that there is no more A20 port in master, images were only deleted.
I plan to build and upload latest available images before the support was removed. I'll link it here.
I'm interested in this inet1 stuff.
The output of
dtc -I dtb -O dts -o sun4i-a10-inet1.dts sun4i-a10-inet1.dtb
if anyone is interested. built some images, reduced the range

about hdmi-audio
b1e43da work
5e44eaf work

looks like i find a reason. but i not familiar with git and i can go wrong directions

we can bury our cb2 boards.
No need to bury working hardware, I still have a cb2 in use!
But not with LE (it's too weak for that anyway), but with OpenWRT. You don't have to use it for wifi/routing though, it has a huge package collection.
So my good old cb2 is a mpd client on OpenWRT playing music. And then there's my good old beaglebone, which runs asterisk on OpenWRT handling my phone calls. Both rock stable without hiccups, doing their job and while barely using any power 
cb2 as a mpd client on OpenWRT for playing music, this is an overhead. a TP-Link pocket router is enough.
I don't need 4K, my internet won't provide speed. I was counting on 720p, 1080p. YouTube worked great. The plan was to try nes / snes / sega. Lakka also does not support A20 because the parent project does not.
I'm trying to run netflix and Disney+ on an old a20 based tv box, but it requires for input stream.adaptative, where can I get it? Or how can I build it?
From the LE repo, under Inputstream Add-ons
LE repo not working on this a20 9.8 releases.
