    Despite theses SoCs were release just a few month ago - they are already supported in mainline kernel - check https://github.com/torvalds/li…/dts/rockchip/rk356x.dtsi which parts are already there (also in mainline u-boot).

    Main reason they haven't been added to LE yet: The missing driver for the display controller which is entirely new and adding it will be kind of a huge effort. Adapting video codec drivers should be relatively easy as they are "just" an evolution to the previous ones.

  • 24 patches is a huge patch series for just one functionality and only 10 patches were acked or reviewed, so this will probably have a few more rounds before it's merged. Window for drm contributions for 5.19 is also almost over, so 5.20 at the earliest.

  • I guess I spoke too soon. Initial DRM driver landed in drm-misc and it will be in 5.19:

    I have been using rk356x LE on my devices for a long time, it works quite well.

    Does LibreELEC work on Ugoos UT8 and UT8 Pro which also uses a Rockchip 3568 SoC?
