I am trying very hard the last 2 days to do exaclty that, but no luck so far.

The thread is here LE 9.0-devel for more Hardware (Gemini / Coffee / Cannon / Ice Lake, AMD Vega / Raven APU) and luks, lvm2, dm-raid, but nothing to test so far.

My last test was a full clean build of 9.0-devel df52423 + PR2739 + PR2449 + PR2760. I also testet only + PR2670. My build system is a Ubuntu VM 16.04.4 just to comple LE and i followed the wiki artikel for that. I switched of ccache at the moment with CCACHE_DISABLE=1.

I did cleaup the /storage on my test Haswell NUC D34010WYK with Pulse Eight NUC HDMI-CEC Adapter. The 2nd step would be test my Coffe Lake i3-8100.

It is booting und stuck at the Kodi v18.0 Logo. After a while (minutes not hours) it reboots. Here ist the crashlog kodi_crashlog_20180610100706.log. I have no idea what to do.

Is there a way to get the complete source of your test build from your v18.0 test build thread LibreELEC Testbuilds for x86_64 (Kodi 18.0) for #0609? I would like to checkout your test build source with all the changes from the release post of #0609 and of course for every following one. At the moment i would then apply the 105887 GLK HDMI bug workarouns for kernel 4.14 and try a 2nd one with 4.17 and later firmware for the AMD users. And probably i need to update pci_ids for xorg 1.20.0, because shortly after release there was a update of pci_ids.

My next test ist compiling with some changes from your #0609 post

At the moment it is really looking bad for my LE 9.0 community build. I cant get a baseline. Every build has the same problem: just a kodi logo and after a while reboot or frozen. The OS is working, ssh too, xrandr showing connected displays ... But that is it.

I did build now about 10 different version. Even fresh checkout from git does not work (does not even build without a extra PR).

So now i know that the sqlite lite update broke nss build and there is a PR for that. And i start fresh building my versions.

Nothing to test yet.

Both versions to download are broken.

I will now delete them.

So now i need to build up one version after the other, to see where it goes bad.

1.42 is building new, after that 2.42, ... So to the probably working AMD version 5.42 it will take me some time.

Hmm the 2nd attempt also build a version that shows the kodi logo for some time. After that it is flickering and then the system reboots.

Still searching.

I see the same problem and i fear that will take me a while to investigate.

I created a new thread for LE 9.0 here LE 9.0-devel for more Hardware (Gemini / Coffee / Cannon / Ice Lake, AMD Vega / Raven APU) and luks, lvm2, dm-raid

The frist attempt was a miss.

See the infos for the 1st attempt in this post #106 in my 8.2.5 thread , where KarstenL680 and tomtomclub had the same problems i did see today after testing the build from last night on my i3-8100.

A new 1.42 and 5.42 are just now compiling.

I will try to build versions with more supported Hardware for Generic x86_64. My first quick test for a 5.42 was not succesfull and it looks like i need to build up changes slow, to see what works and what does not.

My daily driver is my 8.2.5-6.42 for my main LE with Coffee Lake i3-8100 from this thread LE 8.2.5 with UHD 630 / Coffee Lake / Gemini Lake support and luks, lvm2, dm-raid.

I have no Gemini Lake or AMD hardware for testing.

LE9 milhouse testbuild for x86_64 are now with kernel 4.17. See this post #105 or go drectly over here LibreELEC Testbuilds for x86_64 (Kodi 18.0) and download #0616 or later.

I you really want to have a LE9 with luks, lvm2 or dm-raid respond in this thread and i will build one.

Edit:

So the planned release versions in this post are rubbish (i deleted them), because LE master is a too fast moving target. I will make builds and post the difference between LE master commit id and my build. Sorry that will be long but that is the only way that you know what you are installing.

target hardware (read the release posts):

- Intel Gemini Lake

- Intel Coffee Lake

- Intel Cannon Lake

- Intel Ice Lake

- AMD Vega

- AMD Raven

download link HiDrive

1st release post #26 (gcc 7.3.0)

2nd release post #29 (gcc 8.1.0)

3rd release post #35 (gcc 8.1.0)

Have Fun

Here you go (hopefully). If it does work for you i will think about making a new thread for that.

Thanks for all the pointers on AMD GPUs.

I build a LE 9.0 version with all the patches and config from my 8.2.5-7.42.0, because AMD Vega and Raven APU will never work with 4k and VAAPI on Kodi 17. Thanks mglae for pointing that out.

So here is the next attempt to get AMD Vega and Raven APU running.

And for Gemini Lake users the 2 workarounds are also in this version.

9.0-devel-20180609010255-dfdae5e-5.42.0-4.17

- kernel 4.17 with config from my 8.2.5-7.42.0-4.17

- kernel-firmware update to git 2a9b2cf5 from date 2018-05-18

- PR init: add sky42 enhancements/bug fixes by MilhouseVH · Pull Request #2689 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub already merged and created by milhouse ... thank you

- added packages cryptsetup, lvm2, mdadm and needed kernel config for encryption

- Mesa 3D 18.1.1

- created/added xorg-server-1.19.6-sync_pci_ids_1.20.0.patch

- added Gemini Lake HDMI bug 105887 workarounds and to activate put i915.glkhdmi=1 or i915.glkhdmi=2 in /flash/syslinux.cfg

- created/added amdgpu-firmware with latest firmware for vega10, vega12, vegam, raven from here Index of /~agd5f/radeon_ucode

- disabled kernel driver RTL8192CU RTL8192DU RTL8192EU RTL8188EU RTL8812AU bcm_sta

- disabled addon driver crazycat digital_devices hauppauge

my LE 9.0 testing versions are here HiDrive

I will try to build a LE 9.0 with all the changes i have done to my 7.42.0 for AMD support. Compiling just started and if the speed is like 8.2.5 this build should be done in about 2h.

KarstenL680

As you did see in the post of mglae , i dont have a chance with Kodi 17. So i give up AMD with VAAPI and 4k HW decoding.

piotrasd has build a special AMD version see this thread Experimental build AMD GPU (Vega, Ryzen APU)

Thanks for that info. I will switch off vaapi for AMD in my next releases.

some updates ... what was done:

8.2.5-3.42.2-4.14.48

- just the kernel 14.14.48

8.2.5-5.42.2-4.14.48

- just the kernel 4.14.48

8.2.5-6.42.2-4.16.14

- just the kernel 4.16.14

Quote from piotrasd

xorg 1.20 released, to build for AMD use kernel from here ~agd5f/linux - Unnamed repository; edit this file 'description' to name the repository.

piotrasd

Do you have a PKG_URL for this AMD kernel for me please. I can not figure out what is the right URL for the kernel packae.mk

So it was not just me with the refresh rates. I am very happy to hear that it helped.

If i find time i will setup a tvheadend on my 2 Intel LE systems and check if i can see a problem with tvheadend. But please be patient. My tvheadend server is running on my backend server for all my LE boxes. The 3.42.2 is the right choise with all you need for Gemini Lake (i hope), but as little as possible change from 8.2.5, except adding encryption.

Pleaee show me a "ldd <tvheadend binary>", so that i can see about linked libraries.
