  • feedback for test build LibreELEC-RK3328

    Quote from Kwiboo

    I will make a new test image in a day or two, having a general VPU/IOMMU issue with my current development tree.

    The test-build should have code that limits GUI size to 1080p for 2160p resolutions but I noticed this was not applied to the "desktop" resolution if your TV reports 2160p@60hz as the preferred resolution. windowing/gbm: allow different gui and screen size by Kwiboo · Pull Request #14108 · xbmc/xbmc · GitHub fixes this and will be part of next test-build.

    Hehe :), improvements is very slowly making its way to Kodi tree and I will push a new test-build in a day or two. I am currently having a page fault issue with VPU/IOMMU and a vpu reset issue on both Tinker Board S and Rock64 that I need to track down before I can push a new test-build.

    Kwiboo sorry to hijack the thread, its there any chance to add the driver for the TP-link Archer T4UHP (chipset rtl8812au, device ID 2357:010f), the current alpha in fact includes a rtl8812au module but my specific device ID is not included (the driver is the same, its just that the ID its not in the list), thanks for any help.

    Another weird thing im seeing now is that if i install a torrent client and if i leave with default settings when i download something most of the time it crashes, only thing i see that can control the crashes is lowering the number of opened connections to 20/30 (also with torrent with low number of peers/seers ofc dont fail no matter if i leave it at the defaults (usually 200/300)) but as the only other network card i have is not being detected i cant test if its a network card/driver issue or an OS issue...

    I tested all this with both transmission (dockerized only) and deluge (both dockerized and native (using the one on thoradia repo)), both dockers from lsioarmhf so imo they are trustworthy...

    First of all let me make it clear that im not an expert nor dev on anything linux or it related, more like an advanced user willing to learn if needed.

    Ive been tinkering the last few days with the LE image at

    libreelec-rk3328.arm-9.0-nightly-20180620-7ce6b81-rock64.img.gz

    and while i know its pre pre pre alpha im very happy with how much this LE build has grown, its working pretty well for the use i give it and its mostly stable, but i have to report 3 issues, not as a complain but as an end user tester willing to help improve the build and/or test new things suggested, in order of importance (IMO):

    1 - randomly and specially when pausing or stopping a runing video the kodi interface dies and never come back, but the underlaying OS keeps runing as i can ssh to it and order a reboot or do other stuff normally, this is not a rare occurence, this happens about once of five times i pause or stop a video

    2 - on 2 occassions i got kernel panics but i was unable to pinpoint the cause, on both occassions i was navigating the kodi interface, once setting an addon (that on a second try worked fine) and the second setting kodi to my taste

    3 - i cant make my usb wifi card to work, its an archer t4uhp based on the rtl8812au chipset, some time ago i tested the same card on armbian on the same device and it was working perfectly so im completelly sure that the linux driver exists and its stable, i did some tinkering about this issue and i got some info:

    a- if i do "modinfo 8812au" i get a lot of info so the driver is there but i dont see my specific device ID on the list (2357:010f as seen here)

    b- when i do an "lsusb -t" i get an "Class=Vendor Specific Class" wich i think its generic for "i dont know what is this device")

    c- "modprobe 8812au" does nothing but if i understand the process correctly its normal as the modinfo dont list the device so its not even trying to activate the device.

    And this is where all my knowledge on device drivers ends

    Im willing to try anything to test the build and help improve it, and let me insist that im not complainig at all, in fact im very VERY happy with the build and all the hard work you guys are doing here...

    TLDR: i found issues with the rock64 LE pre alpha build:

    1- kodi randomly dies when pausing or stopping a video (but not the OS)

    2- super random kernel panics

    3- need driver for the usb wifi card Archer t4uhp (chipset rtl8812au (device ID 2357:010f))

    Thanks for reading and any help is totally wellcome :D
