Hi everyone,
If anyone of you has read my previous posts, you would know that running LibreELEC on mainline 5.3 kernel has not been flawless for the NanoPi K2. There are things I can work around or cope with such as missing WIFI or Bluetooth, but I haven't been able to solve the issue with playing Widevine content (e.g. Netflix).
So, after checking around / asking in the forums and not finding a solution, I have compiled a working version of LE for the NanoPi K2. It is not based on the latest version by any means. Specifically:
- LE version is 9.0.2 (Kodi 18.2)
- u-boot is v2015.01
- kernel is 3.14
Despite not being the latest in everything, it works out rather well. The following has been tested:
- Playing 1080p content with hardware decoding (I haven't tested 4K content because I only have FHD screens 
)
- WiFi but note that I haven't been able to stream 1080p without buffering every few seconds. It could be a problem with the driver or the chipset - I don't know. I just used a USB WiFi dongle to work around this.
- Ethernet
- Bluetooth
- HDMI-CEC
- Playing Widevine content (Netflix is 720p software-decoded of course due to its licensing policy)!
You can download the image here and write it to MicroSD card with LibreELEC USB-SD creator. I have not tested writing to eMMC but I'm quite certain it will not boot from eMMC with the current u-boot script.
Sources can be found here (9.0.2-nanopi-k2 branch).
To compile from source:
> git clone https://github.com/patrickkfkan/LibreELEC.tv.git
> cd LibreELEC.tv
> git checkout 9.0.2-nanopi-k2
> PROJECT=Amlogic DEVICE=NanoPi_K2 ARCH=arm make imageThanks all!
