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

I want to share my build that I managed to successfully write to emmc with multitool on my two boxes, A95Xr1 and MXQ Pro 4K 5G (RK3229Q-221P-V1.3).

I cherry-picked one commit from ilmich and one from pocng that enabled this on librelec-11 to my libreelec-12 branch (from here https://github.com/ilmich/LibreELEC.tv/pull/2).

So thanks to them for their great work!

Build is here for at least 30 days: https://1fichier.com/?wj9pdvzu202oqo3z0au7

This build is unsupported. If it works for you, great. If not then you're on your own.

Very nice work, downloaded, modified the *.conf for my dtb, saved and installed it on my boxes. Even easily added afterwards all my settings and addons.

I am very happy for don't need the slow MicroSD system anymore. BIG THX

I found a new type of rk322x device. Even the same EMMC image from ML is up and running fine on it.

The reason for that i bought is that this device has an integrated SATA controller.

Would it be possible to add the SATA controller into your image?

Dear Ilmich,

thank you so much for your reply.

Here is just one link but i bought directly from Alibaba:

Yes there is an Android installed and i used the RK322x Multitool to get a dump of the system already. Unfortunately i do not know how to extract and which files and/or eventually commands are necessary for getting the DTS file.

As i wrote i already installed the Image from ML-1 and it is working perfect except for detecting the Sata device.

Attached some more pictures:

Kind regards

Hi ilmich,

the *.gz dump is around 450 mB. If i extract the dump, the size is almost 7.8 GB. Is there some linux tool available for my Ubuntu 22.04, which can split the *gz or unpacked raw dump?

This is the strange part. Only the USB on the SD slot and IR port side is recognizing devices. Mouse, keyboard,... the blue USB port on the HDMI side detect nothing.

One other question. Is it possible to get the Android files with the Multitool bash?

EDIT:

Confirmed. The USB port on the HDMI side - if it is connected with my PC - is showing the SSD (4TB) correctly and it is read/write accessible. But it is not detected as drive in LibreELEC!

The USB port on the SD card is not showing anything, but it even can be used as a power supply - because if it is connected, the player takes power over the USB connection. Of course also detects my USB wifi stick, mouse, keyboard,...!

Hello ilmich,

the SSD is formated with the NTFS file system.

Attached the dmesg log and the download address i did send to you directly for the 100 mb Android backup part.

Also i made some new photos of the chips on the player.

Kind regards

Now that a few days have passed and no further inquiries have been received, I just wanted to ask if you've found the time, and if so, whether it's even possible to integrate this hardware configuration into the system.

Thank you very much for the truly fantastic work you're doing here for all owners of this Rockchip hardware

Looks like they just plop a USB to SATA controller on that board

ASM1153E|ASMedia Technology Inc.

so it should work as is. go put a drive on the SATA slot on that board, boot to linux and type in terminal lsusb. If you see a Asmedia chipset on lsusb, then it works as advertised, now you have to figure out how to mount that drive and since this is a NTFS filesystem.

But a bit googling on this, LE should be able to automount any kind of USB Mass Storage, Im assuming that either this LE build do not have the necessary packages for NTFS support or the filesystem is borked that linux cant mount it cleanly. Or you can just nuke the drive and format it as ext4.

remlei

That's what i did.

I also made a cross test with the LE10 and LE11 builds. The SSD was also not found. NTFS shouldn't be the problem here.

Meanwhile i also extracted the dtb but unfortunately there is no entry for the ASmedia chip.

Could you help me out here?

EDIT: I forgot to mention. No any USB to SATA bridge device is shown with lsusb.

If the device is not showing up with "lsusb" then the device is either not connected, not connected via USB, or perhaps has not been powered up (might need something toggled during boot or a dedicated regulator to be described) as the output of the command is a raw read of the devices attached to the USB bus and there is no need for anything to be "supported" with drivers etc.

NB: device-tree will only describe the connectivity for the USB hub/ports, there's no need to describe attached USB devices because once ports are probed/discovered anything attached to them will be probed and have supported drivers loaded automatically (as it's USB). Asmedia chips are normally supported by the generic "CONFIG_USB_UAS" driver which is enabled by default in LE images; and I would assume in ilmich images too.

Pastebin the dumped device-tree file, someone else might see something in it.

Attached the Android DTS file we managed to get out from the Box DTB and the converted DTS from

ilmich which - except for the USB to SATA (as ilmich mentioned) - is working nice together with

my device.

Maybe wrong addresses or clock frequencies? I really don't know. This is one level to high for me

The extention *.txt must be renamed to *.dts again, because the upload was not possible with it.
