Odroid N2L

Hey everyone,

i just got a Odroid N2L and hoped it would boot the N2+ Image (because there's a n2l.dtb in the image) - I wrote the image to microsd and built u-boot and flashed it to microsd with the guides from
https://wiki.odroid.com/odroid-n2l/software/building_u-boot
U-Boot for ODROID-N2L (S922X) — Das U-Boot unknown version documentation

The red and blue leds light up, but then nothing happens.... should it be possible to boot libreelec on a Odroid-N2L or is it more complicated than I think?

regards, wakko

N2/N2+ use DDR4 while N2L uses LPDDR4 so it probably needs a dedicated image. I've never added one as the omission of onboard Ethernet means few people are likely to use one. It's simple to build though. See if this boots?

If it doesn't boot I'll need to see output from the debug UART to see where things go wrong.

Hi,
Thanks for the image - the N2L image booted fine!

My wifi adapters didn't work (guess that has nothing to do with the n2l) but with my usb-to-RJ45 adapter i get a stable connection and I'm watching TV right now

Wifi Adapter was just a firmware thing, it's good described in the wiki.

Is it possible to make a 12.2 image or can i just replace KERNEL/SYSTEM from a 12.2 N2 image?

Kodi does not support downgrades so place the .img.gz file in /storage/.update/ then stop Kodi and remove /storage/.kodi so that on reboot after update it starts with a clean Kodi config.

I would stick with the LE13 image though, it won't be less reliable than LE12.2.

Ok Thanks (again) - i will try a little bit and play around with LE13
