How to create a free elec for a game stick 4k lite version 6.0

Not possible. The device has 256MB RAM, but LE needs at least 1GB.

We have a blacklist of buzzwords to block spam posts. We need that protection, and we don't do real science here.

Is there a list of supported GPUs?

No, we don't have a whitelist for PC components (too much work). The best thing you can do is going to the forums main page, and searching for a specific GPU. So you'll get search results from all sub-forums.

No log, no problem.

It switches to a specific frame buffer:

Any chance to test / debug the function of "switching to colour frame buffer device 240x67"? Maybe that's the moment when the screen goes black.

That's a wrong guess (and if you don't know the answer, don't guess).

Hard to resist when logs are filled with so much fake news.

EGL has issues while writing onto canvas (system log):

I think the cause is a GPU driver issue (missing mali regulator, crash log):

Seems like chewitt is already familiar with that issue:

Re: Missing mali regulator in Amlogic dts - Robin Murphy

Maybe this is helpful:

At devs: Is that normal for Odroid-C2?

Feb 27 20:26:05.988127 LibreELEC kernel: [Firmware Bug]: Kernel image misaligned at boot, please fix your bootloader!

To me it looks like a general buffer issue on Odroid-C2:

2025-01-20 00:35:29.969 T:974     error <general>: CEGLImage::CreateImage - failed to import buffer into EGL image: 0x3003

You have a problem with an add-on. Ask for an update at Kodi forum, where most add-on devs are.

Maybe, depending on your RPi5 hardware revision.

Nope, that doesn't work. For RPi5 you need bleeding edge LE, like a nightly build or the upcoming LE 12.0.2.

LE delivers fitting firmware versions with LE updates. Manual updates can break dependencies, so not suggested.

I would also disable Bluetooth for testing:

dtoverlay=disable-bt

What we want to see is a test without internal WiFi / Bluetooth, and an extension cable at the dongle.

Quote from chewitt

Disabling WiFi isn't going to help with the 2.4GHz device when USB 3.0 is the source of issues.

We still don't know that for sure.

Quote from rflintdvm

Is the idea that there might be interference in the signal, or that it's too far from the remote?

First one. Disable the internal WiFi at config.txt:

dtoverlay=disable-wifi
