[UNOFFICIAL][Le12][RK3228/RK3229][box]Libreelec builds

  • Lochnair my apologies, the repository was not updated. try again now.

    Thank you

    Thanks!

    Some fiddling later and I've got the builds going. I think the only problem was that the RTL8189ES package wasn't actually added to the ADDITIONAL_PACKAGES for the device, so the modules didn't get included in the build.

    After adding that it seems to work well, connected to the wifi without any difficulty :)
    The only thing I'm not sure about if it's using the correct MAC addresses or not, the label on the box doesn't say, so I'm not sure what they're supposed to be.

  • Hi all,

    a new build of libreelec 12 available with:

    - added RTL8189ES wifi driver (thanks Lochnair for testing)
    - various fixes and improvements
    - finished porting from libreelec 11
    - reintroduced wpa_supplicant as wifi manager (iwd has problems with bad drivers that I have to use)
    - updated to latest libreelec source

    Cheers

  • I installed it on an SD card on my V88 4K box. I used rk322x-box-v884k device tree.

    When turning the box on and off the LED also changes ON/OFF, but no LED feedback when pressing a button on remote. This was cool on the LE10.

    If it could be installed on NAND it would be great.

    Everything else is fine.

    Thanks for this release. I was using version 11. When I updated with the .tar file I can no longer choose Skins. The menu is also not available in the repository.

  • Hi guys, excuse my english. I leave you some optimizations and my Remote Control configuration. My device is industrial, for that reason I added some python scripts to the gps. You'll see that I loaded the remote in autostart, since it became impossible for it to read rc_maps.cfg

    I am from Cuba and I am extremely grateful for your time and effort. Today I tried to put this new version (12) but version 10 does not start. It works without problems. Well, the WiFi works and connects well, but I thought about upgrading to this new version but it was not possible. If you could help me?

  • First, I just want to say thanks for this port!

    It made my old device collecting dust worth using again.

    I have an Alfawise A95XR1 so I needed to make my own dtb in order to get leds working but after that it seems to work very well except for HD audio passthrough, it's just silent, but works it well if I disable passthrough for TrueHD and DTS-HD. Other passthrough works fine.

    Is this expected to be working? If it is I can supply a debug log.


    Any chance of getting a95xr1 included in future builds?

  • First, I just want to say thanks for this port!

    I'm happy that my work is useful

    It made my old device collecting dust worth using again.

    Aside from the fun of developing this port, reusing 'old' hardware is one of the goals.

    Make sure you have selected the correct device (default could be spdif output). Send a log anyway if you can.

    Any chance of getting a95xr1 included in future builds?

    Of course, I don't understand if you can do it independently, in any case I need the stock dtb (or a link to download the original firmware)

  • ml-1 I also have a Alfawise A95XR1, and I am really interrested about the patch you made to have a working dtd.

    Is that possible to share it, or commit it in the github of the project ?

    Thanks a lot !

  • ilmich Sorry for late reply. I've been busy with other things but also needed to read up on how to extract dtb from the box and finally managed to extract it.

    Here are the links for a95xr1 dtb and dts:

    tatoo404 Here is the patch I've used for a95xr1:

    First I tried with higher clock rates since a RK3229 should handle up to 1.5GHz but had random lockups so I stopped at 1200MHz and so far it seems to be really stable.

  • ml-1 thank you very much for your contribution which I included in my builds!!
    I know that the soc can support higher frequencies, but the current ones are the result of many tests and take into consideration the fact that these boxes often have very poor heat dissipation and therefore you could encounter sudden restarts due to excessively high temperatures.
