Hello everyone, I’m a newcomer. I’m posting this for the first time, asking for help on how to run libreELEC on Raspberry Pi 4B to support DeskPi shell. DeskPi works well on Raspberry Pi OS, but I want to try to enable dwc2 on LibreELEC. In order to be able to use the front panel of DeskPi, on the Raspberry Pi OS, I think the parameters are added in the /boot/config.txt file, dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=host It realizes a similar OTG by adding this content It can recognize USB devices, but I don’t know how to add this function on LIBREELEC. At the same time, I want to use the serial port to send data to the DeskPi baseboard so that it can adjust the fan's PWM according to the current CPU temperature. Currently, I don’t know how At first, friends who know, please help me.
The repository of deskpi: GitHub - DeskPi-Team/deskpi: DeskPi Pro is the Ultimate Case Kit for Raspberry Pi 4 with Full Size HDMI/2.5 Hard Disk Support and Safe Power Button, It has QC 3.0 Power Supply inside and New ICE Tower Cooler inside.
and issues here: Please add an installer for LibreELEC · Issue #17 · DeskPi-Team/deskpi · GitHub
I want to try to make LibreELEC support DeskPi, what should I do?

The dwc2 driver isn't included in LibreELEC, but with LibreELEC 10 you'll be able to use otg_mode=1 - this is already working in development builds, see here [BUG] Missing configuration parameter for DWC2 at RPI4 · Issue #4722 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

Thanks Hias, I will try it on my Raspberry Pi 4B.

The dwc2 driver isn't included in LibreELEC [stable, 9.2.8]
With Kodi Matrix 19.x requiring add-ons are updated to use Python 3, as the LibreELEC blog suggests, many users are expected to stay on the LibreELEC 9 / Kodi 18 Leia releases for some time. Particularly as RPi4 video support is not very mature in Kodi 19 so RPi4 users, at least, might be inclined to stay put.
Is it possible to add dwc2 driver support to the LibreELEC 9 series? Does it require recompiling the kernel?

We have no plans to add any more changes to 9.2, even more so as the new rev 1.4 RPi4 seems to contain incompatible hardware changes and 9.2 won't boot on it.
If you really feel the need to run 9.2 you can simply change the kernel configs and build LE on your own - see the instructions in our wiki https://wiki.libreelec.tv/development-1/build-basics
so long,

Sorry, I now see my question was interpretable as a request. Not my intention. I know the last thing LibreELEC developers need to do is continue to maintain 9.2 ... although you have tweaked it several times
, hence .8, to the benefit of all end users and for that I thank you most sincerely.LibreELEC 10 / Kodi 19.* Matrix seems to be a big step as it is. The RPi4 rev 1.4 is news to me but must be an added head scratching factor, I'm sure!
Occasionally peek at the commit feeds for the RPi firmware and LibreELEC, noticing the significant work happening consistently and in no way do I want to burden the devs with a 9.2.* branch request, adding to the workload.
Instead of a request, I was just seeking clarification as my compilation experience, and Linux driver knowledge, is minimal
Thanks for the link! Update: unfortunately it's a broken link. Here's the current link: -
Does the DeskPi Pro still work with 10.0.1? My Argon is toast and am looking at the DeskPi Pro
