[RK3576] LE for H96 Max M9 TV Box

  • Hello,
    I own an H96 Max M9 TV box which is based on the Rockchip RK3576 chipset.
    As I have seen that RK3576 support has recently been added or is currently being developed in LibreELEC, I would like to ask for some clarification regarding this device.

    Could you please let me know:

    1. Will the H96 Max M9 be supported by LibreELEC?
    2. Is there already a testing or development image available for RK3576 boards?
    3. Is the hardware (GPU/VPU, WiFi, BT, HDMI, etc.) expected to work properly on this model?
    4. If device-specific DTS or U-Boot files are needed, is there any recommended source or work-in-progress build?

    I would like to test LibreELEC on this device if possible, so any guidance, downloads, or technical notes would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you very much!

  • 1. Not unless someone upstreams support for the box to the upstream kernel and u-boot

    2. There are nightlies for some RK3576 devices and equivalent test images with marginally newer kernel etc. in my test share

    3. LE supports whatever level of 'properly' the current upstream kernel supports

    4. If you want things to work 'properly' it will probably need device-specific dts/u-boot. Nothing exists for that device.

    In short; there is code and prior-art in our buildsystem and we publish that under GPLv2 so anyone can go nuts and experiment and do whatever they like with it. There are no nicely typed up technical notes or HOWTO guides. You are welcome to ask questsions, but you should have low expectations for anyone spoon-feeding you with instructions on how to author support for your box.
