[UNOFFICIAL][LE12][RK3228/RK3229][box] LibreELEC builds

    Quote from ochentay4

    is there ANY way to write this or any other build to a NAND, without using multitool? my MXQ-4K doesnt boot it, yet it boots LibreElec without issue.

    Unfortunately, as stated in the first post, NAND is not supported because the driver found in the bsp rockchip kernel is obfuscated and does not compile with new kernels.

    Tsurugi as for the wifi, I have to port some drivers from libreelec 11. Instead, for the 4k problem, please explain better. Are you having problems with playback or with the Kodi GUI?

    @matheusdanoite in your case, I need to try to figure out if there is a driver that can be used. I remember seeing something here on the forum, but I don't remember where.

    not any answer ...

    Like those working on the Libreelec project, I'm a volunteer who dedicates part of my free time to something I enjoy, and I'm not paid to do it. The project isn't dead (I recently purchased the beloved/hated HongTop H20, and some users want to donate boxes to support my work). But precisely because I dedicate my free time to it, I obviously have little of it these days/months.

    thanks for your answer!

    I looked around and found this thread, is this the one you`'re talking about?

    RE: No WiFi at MXQ PRO 4K 5G

    […]

    Could you please try?

    I got a TV box with both RTL8723AS and RK3228. Your build ran great, although I couldn't make the wi-fi work.

    I am open to share any details to help you add support for this chip - or, at the very least, help me with this issue.

    anyways, here are some pictures of my board and wi-fi chip, hope these could help you

    if you need any help, let me know!

    matheusdanoite i've never seen your board, but thanks for pointing me to the thread, I'll give it a try.
    I also wanted to ask you for your box model because from the logs I saw that you're using the generic configuration (probably because yours isn't listed in the supported models). Maybe I can add your box.

    hi, 4k problem is in the start of system the image jumps and tends to green as if it were an unsupported resolution, then once kodi starts it works fine.....for the no response it was not directed directly to you I thought someone else could answer too, we all work it's just a hobby of course, thanks

    Code
    video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60D

    Append that ^ to kernel boot params in exlinux.conf and the HDMI connector will be forced to 1080p at start. That sometimes prevents the kernel from attempting some odd/unsupported mode.

    grazie, proverò appena posso

    ciao,

    all 322x SoCs support 4K. Depending on the type of DDR installed (DDR2 or DDR3), you may experience performance degradation (DDR3 is faster and therefore plays 4K streams smoothly compared to DDR2). Your box is a new model for me, and while I've learned over time that the design is fundamentally similar to all boxes (the generic DTS boot 99.9% of the time), there may be some small differences. So besides trying another cable (if I'm not mistaken there are specific ones for 4k), I'd need a log (you'll find how in the first post), to know if you're using the generic DTS or one of the supported ones, and possibly a link to the original firmware (or alternatively a dump of your emmc, or even better, a dump of the first 128MB of your eMMC) so I can extract the stock firmware DTS.

    Grazie


    In mainline kernel 6.6 with rockchip-drm, when connecting the TV Encoder (TVE) to the VOP using the DRM graph (vop endpoint@1 -> tve endpoint@0), the kernel reports “fixed dependency cycles”, but only HDMI gets bound. In addition, ALSA completely disappears (/proc/asound does not exist), so no sound cards are registered.

    Did you discard TVE support due to limitations of mainline DRM?

    Is there any known or tested approach for RK322x (for example keeping TVE outside the DRM graph, using fbdev, or a different driver), or is there simply no usable TVE support in mainline?
