niabi Indeed your SYSTEM image is too big. You might want to change compression method to gzip or xz, whichever fits 512MB.
Edit: I noticed that you changed the size some days ago. This is generally not a good idea, users cannot upgrade after size change. Using a different compression may help you keep the size below 512MB.
I was able to compile myself changing back to 512MB partition. I just removed one of the ES themes to get under 512MB without changing the compression.
@jayass, you can use this img.gz image as update file. Just copy it to .update directory and restart box
Not sure how I didn't know this. Thought you had to have a .tar file for the update. At any rate, thank you!
Version 1.6 released
Do you also build/release the upgrade tar? I only see the img file on github.
I'm a new user...just got my a95x last weekend and have sx05re 1.5 installed currently.

So I managed to get my laptop up and running again, so we're back in business.
20170323:
Code
- - rebased on latest LE8
- - kodi 17.1
- - linux 4.10.5
- - samba 4.6
- - systemd 233
- - switched to emulationstation from retropie (has video support and is linked with libvlc, although this is untested)
- - glibc 2.25 (issues with building 2.24 when arch got upgraded to 2.25 made this necessary)
- - other bumped packages: mesa, libinput, openssh, libx11, dolphin, retroarch, retroarch-joypad-autoconfig
No issues here, both on previous build and last one with updated mesa.
Did you remove sonarr? It's no longer starting for me and I no longer see /storage/.config/system.d/sonarr.service or /opt/sonarr
It's quite easy and can be learned by looking at other addons. As for the libncurses issue, it's not looking for the system library but for the one in your LibreELEC toolchain (provided by packages/devel/netbsd-curses). Compiles fine on Arch Linux, which is what I use.
I can confirm that it does not build correctly on ubuntu but after I created an Arch Linux VM, I was able to build without encountering the same issue. Strange but somehow tied to Ubuntu.
escalade: I seem to be unable to compile uae4arm.
For anyone interested while escalade is on vacation, I rebased all of his changes on the most recent LibreELEC Beta 7.95.2 and compiled for RPi2. I just couldn't wait for his return to get Kodi 17 final and recent LE changes. The only thing that is missing is uae4arm since it will not compile for me.
I am only providing the RPi2 version as that is what I compiled (sorry Intel users). Please take caution as I am still in the learning phases on building/compiling.
For those interested, here you go:

Thanks for the update escalade ! What's best for an Intel NUC with a Pentium n3700 CPU : Mupen64 or Glupen64 ? I get crackling sound with both...
I can't speak specifically to mupen64 or glupen64 but I had crackling sound when using mgba on my pi3 (and even worse on my pi2). I *think* it is related to running threaded audio (this is an option buried somewhere in Retroarch but I can't recall right now exactly where). However, in my case, I couldn't get it to run reasonably fast when disabling audio threading...so I just had to live with it.
I think I may have found the problem with the RPi builds, please test the 20170104 build.
Rejoice! 20170104 for RPi2 boots!
I owe you another beer!
Read the entirety of that sentence
Awww...gotcha...I was thinking the updated cmdline.txt wouldn't be stored until fully booted (not sure why my brain went there). Duh!
Note to self: don't try to multi-task brain intensive activities.
I think you can add debugging to cmdline but it wont be stored until booted fully, so no
I can restore to a working version, then update cmdline, then run the update again. Do I just add "debugging" to the end of the cmdline?
In about 6 hours time. If anyone testing it has a serial port connection, it would be helpful with the complete kernel log if it should fail. Also the contents of /boot/cmdline.txt.
EDIT: RPi2 build is uploaded, 6 hours as predicted
20170103 RPi2 build still has a kernel panic. Is the kernel log stored somewhere on the sd card? I can pull the card and read the contents (and post the results), if so. At the same time, I'll post the contents of my /boot/cmdline.txt
20170102:Code
- - Rebased on latest LE8 master (most significant change is Kodi 17 RC2)
- - Compiled with -Os instead of -O2 (fixes the youtube issue)
- - Version bumps for the following packages: mesa, vulkan-loader, retroarch, mgba-libretro, fbalpha-libretro, residualvm, btrfs-progs
- - New driver RTL8723BS (common wireless/bluetooth combo in cherry trail devices)
- - Added patch for ACPI bug in some cherry trail devices causing wireless to not work unless LPSS is set to PCI in the bios
Atom optimized build with drm-next currently building. I'll probably do an RPi build as well if someone wants to test.
I'll test the RPi2 build. I did however build it this morning with your latest commits on github. I still had a kernel panic.
I'll try to get to some testing and compiling soon and report back my findings.
Only thing somewhat meaningful that I have found so far is that I can use kernel from 20161209 build in recent builds to get it to boot. I'm not sure if there is a risk in doing this or not, but it allowed me to at least get to the kodi interface.
Then I'm out of ideas. Have gone through my commits and can't find anything that should cause the kernel not to find init, and the initramfs looks good. Same tree works for Generic. Guess it's end of the road for my RPi builds for now.
I'll try to get to some testing and compiling soon and report back my findings.
No Pi is for suck. Really, it was never designed as a HTPC. It's a hobby board for enthusiasts. Sure it can play videos fine, but it can't even render the Kodi GUI without lag.
The Tronsmart Ara X5 Plus is promising, I've been setting one up as a christmas gift. It's a cherry trail device so the Linux support is not 100% mature, but at this point it's working very well. It's got an Intel 3160 BT/wifi module that supports 802.11ac and doesn't completely suck like the RPi's. You can order it with free shipping at $100 but I heard it's often discounted to $80. Which is around what you'd pay for an RPi3 with casing, SD card and PSU.
Dangit! Now you've gone and put another idea in my head. Like I really need to buy more gadgets...
[hr]
No, I sold it off because I think it's dog slow compared to Intel boxes at the same price point. I probably won't get anything with an ARM cpu again. Good thing that I don't require you to like me then
EDIT: All builds are done and uploaded. Merry christmas!
Looks like the Pi version is still getting a kernel panic. 
I was trying to clone your tree and make own build @ an Ubuntu 16.x VMWare Fusion vanilla machine but given compilation errors both for emu and master branches. No time to "debug" errors as I didn't have so much time. Hope to see Escalade compilation soon to test, if not I will try to build one myself at night!
Cheers!
Likely htop and nmon-system packages. I cannot seem to figure out why these packages won't compile on my Ubuntu VM but escalade can compile on arch. My only solution so far is to remove those from OEM depends.
It looks like there was a recent commit to libreelec settings related to this. Fingers crossed it gets into the next build.
