On the RPi4:

Code

touch /storage/.update/.nocompat
cd /storage/.update
wget https://releases.libreelec.tv/LibreELEC-RPi5.arm-11.0.6.img.gz
reboot

On reboot the RPi4 updates to the RPi5 image, and on completion and second reboot it attempts to boot the RPi5 image. This will either fail or half-work so it's best to pull power on the RPi4 as the second reboot starts. Now transfer the SD card to the RPi5 and things should work.

Or .. do a clean install and manual copy/paste migration of any essential content from the RPi4. The boards use different images so unlike previous RPi2 > RPi3 migrations you cannot simply swap the card.

Worked like a charm in less than 2 minutes. Perfect.

Thanks a lot. It was driving me crazy as the config.txt states:

dtoverlay=gpio-ir, gpio_pin ... -> PIN .... not header number and as in my example pin 7 is GPIO4 and was wondering what the heck, maybe IR sensor dead? ... maybe ... but all of them?

gwaaaaaahhhh

Hello, i that possible to have multiple remote.conf configurations? One for default remote and one for universal remote (which has more buttons and could run more actions in Kodi). Currently i'm using /storage/.config/remote.conf to load settings for one remote. Thank you.

Hi,
Late response but, yes.
lircd.congf should be like (include all remotes you have):

# Please make this file available to others
# by sending it to <[email protected]>
#
# this config file was automatically generated
# using lirc-0.9.1-git(default) on Wed Dec 14 18:00:44 2016

# model no. of remote control:
# devices being controlled by this remote:
#


begin remote
.
.
.
          BTN_SELECT               0x412A 0x42D5
          BTN_START                0x4602 0x45FD
      end codes


end remote

begin remote

          BTN_SELECT               0x412A 0x42D5
          BTN_START                0x4602 0x45FD
      end codes


end remote

And your lircmap.xml like (include all remotes you have):

<lircmap>
    
<remote device="Sharp">
                
  <left>KEY_LEFT</left>
  <right>KEY_RIGHT</right>
.
.
.
  </remote>


  <remote device="2083">
  <left>KEY_LEFT</left>
  <right>KEY_RIGHT</right>
.
.
.
  </remote>
</lircmap>
