Hi spitzbube,

I've stumbled over the Dinobot 4k (Hi3798MV200) and Dinobot 4k SE (Hi3798CV200) boxes by accident...

So I just wanted to ask, if you are still interested and motivated to give the HiSilicon support a go?

Yes I am still interested in development for the newer Hisi boxes. Recently I was even able to re-build the OpenaTV image from the sources for the Dinobot 4K SE. Especially I wanted to find out from where the kernel (sources) come and what about the Hisilicon drivers.

Having these available is important also for creating a LibreElec image for Hisi.

Unfortunately I was not yet lucky to get one of the Hi3798CV200 based boxes. At the moment I try to build the recent Hisilicon kernel (provided in sources for the Poplar board) for one of my boxes based on the old HI3716CV200. And after this I will try to add user space either from OpenaTV or LibreELEC.

Hi all,

I initially created the OpenELEC port to Hisilicon Hi398CV100 in github in the beginning of 2016.

Unfortunately I was very busy since then and I also saw that the successor Hi3798CV200 is more often used in newer boxes. I never bought such a new box but it was always my goal to make a similar port of OE to the new processor.

It seems that LE has now got more attraction. Maybe I will try to build it first for my old CV100 box.
