ODROID C4

entr · May 9, 2020 at 5:01 PM

Hi there,

Couldn't find anything on the relatively new successor of C2 and wanted to know what are the chances of C4 being a officially supported device in near future.

If one is about to invest in a new libreELEC compatible device now, should they go for the latest and wait for support or play it safe and get the old C2 for example?

Just that you be aware, the "proper" support for it is likely starting at LE10. Its basically the usual S905X3 so the support for it is still in heavy development.

I already have support for the C4 in my private git repo, but I need to clean some things related to Linux 5.7 up a little before I push support to the LE repo. Adding support for the C4 took a whole 30 mins as Dongjin had already prepared a device-tree file for Linux 5.4 that only needed a couple of minor updates for Linux 5.7 - and the device-tree is now submitted upstream.

Hello,

May I ask if there is any progress on this one? If not, then is there any way to use chewitt repo to instal LE onto Odroid C4?

Thank you in advance!

C4 is supported in the upstream kernel (and LE nightlies which are based on my branch) for ages. The builds I publish are more usable than the nightly images though, due to some experimental changes to ffmpeg to improve on H264 seeking that I include.

See: Index of /testing/9.80/ .. write to SD card or emmc module and boot.
