[x86-64] Thunderbolt Support?

  • I've been playing around with my NUC 8i7BEH trying to get the Thunderbolt port working with LibreElec either as a higher speed LAN connection or a display out (i.e. Thunderbolt to Ethernet and Thunderbolt to HDMI adapters). Nothing seems to work.

    I've got a dual boot into Windows 11 on the same box and both work fine. Does LibreElec have Thunderbolt drives included or is there something I need to do to enable the driver ? I have LibreElec 12.2.1 running on this system.


    Thanks,

    Jeff

  • I'm not aware that we have thunderbolt support enabled in the kernel. You'll need to experiment with a custom LE image that enables whatever drivers are missing (some research will be required).

    Ok. Thanks for confirming. This may be something for me to tackle in the future. I was looking for another option to try to eliminate the intermittent audio dropouts on this NUC board and LibreElec. I've tried all suggestions on the forums and they still persist albeit intermittently. I was hoping to try another non-HDMI interface for audio/video to see if that resolves the issue. I've added a second SSD to dual boot with Windows 11 and Kodi. I may try that for a bit and see how it does.
