EEPROM update 2020-09-03 - Not Booting Libreelec 9.2.6.

1st Official Post

    Hi together,

    I got a brandnew Raspi 400 and installed 9.2.6 on SD. Everything went fine.
    I choosed in Libreelec settings Raspberry Flashing: Update Bootloader EEPROM. It updated to Version 2020-09-03
    After Rebooting it was flashed correctly. But now Libreelec is not able to boot directly when I switch on my Pi.

    The Bootloader comes up for a second and then my PI powers off.

    I can only boot with following steps:

    1. Take power off from PI

    2. unplug SD Card

    3. Switch on PI

    4. wait for Bootloader

    5. Plugin SD Card.

    6. Libreelec starts

    I doublechecked with another SD Card (installed 9.2.6.). It will not boot Libreelec.

    I doublechecked also with RASPBIAN. The OS boots properly directly with switch on.

    As I realized on Raspberry Pi 4 bootloader configuration - Raspberry Pi Documentation some Boot options has changed in 2020-09-03. So I tried changing some options e.g. "Boot Order" and "Enable Self Upate".

    Nothing helped.

    Someone others got that problem?

    I hope you can help me.

    The Raspi 400 is not on our official builds list yet. So 9.2.6 will not run. The Rpi400 is a slightly different RPI.

    Officially the RPi400 will be fully supported with LE 10, for now there are some booting fixes available I think, but don't expect Wifi/BT to work just yet. You can try Raspberry Pi OS + Kodi. It works fine on the RPI4B.

    Hi Klojum,

    thanks for your fast answer.

    I wondered about that before updating the Bootloader EEPROM it works fine. I read that is roughly the same hardware as RPI 4. Ok I see that it has some detail changes not only covered with an keyboard. :)

    Are the bootfixes available on nightly builds?

    I hope that LE10 will be released soon.

    And I try also Pi OS with Kodi as you suggest.
