Hm... Not sure what could be wrong, but most likely U-Boot related. Since I don't have time to look into this anytime soon, can you make following experiment. Flash 12.2 image, extract first 1 MB from 12.0 image, remove first 8 KB of that 1 MB dump and flash resulting binary to 12.2 image at offset 8 KB. I hope you understand 
otherwise I can provide set of dd commands to do that.

Actually there is a way to support this chip with mainline driver. My most recent attempt (4 years old) is here:
Commits · jernejsk/linux-1Linux kernel source tree. Contribute to jernejsk/linux-1 development by creating an account on GitHub.github.comWifi worked but suspend was broken, which makes it ineligible to include it to LE. Any efforts on this front would be appreciated

Sure, but it's implemented if I understood the OP right:
You did not. VP9 HW decoding is supported only by H6. I guess compatibility matrix would be clearer.
We really need this project to continue. There is a bunch of h616/h618 devices (tv boxes) out there that are still waiting for official support.
Yeah, that won't happen anytime soon. Display driver accumulated so much technical debt that it needs to be considerably reworked in order to support H616 and newer SoCs properly. While obviously there are PoC versions out there, mostly based on my early work, none of that works good enough for Kodi needs (Kodi needs features most other software doesn't need). Videos wouldn't be rendered properly in plenty of cases, so this forum would be spammed with a lot of "it doesn't work" messages.
I started working on this redesign of display driver, but it's slow process, since I work on it only in my spare time. However, good thing is that redesign will also solve years old issues for existing devices like occasional glitches, especially during start or end of playback.

No, only mainline U-Boot is supported (currently 2025.1.) If your board is already supported, great, all you need to do is to set correct config name in uboot_helper script. If not, you have to create patch for U-Boot, which introduces correct defconfig for your board and then put it in uboot_helper script.
-
you have to provide DRAM settings, which you can get in Android DT file from vendor image.
-
This means that you didn't select correct U-Boot config. U-Boot has to be configured for each board separately, due to different settings, like DRAM (as you already experienced). Board configuration is done here: https://github.com/LibreELEC/Libr…ts/uboot_helper

They use same silicon, they are just named differently, because (i think) they differ in performance. Yes, you can use same code.
-
If you want to play, here is my attempt: https://github.com/jernejsk/LibreELEC.tv/commits/h616/ but note that display driver is not there yet (problematic scaling of YUV formats). There is also no audio support. Using newer kernel would allow analog audio and if you use extra patches, also hdmi audio.

H616 and H313 are basically same soc, so no. While I worked on H616 support, it doesn't work well due to display driver issues. Currently best supported Allwinner soc is H6.
-
H313 SoC is not supported by LE, so no, it won't work.
-
I only have ordinary Orange Pi Win board and everything seems to work fine with LE 12.0.1.
If you have serial console, please add systemd.debug-shell=ttyS0 ssh at the end of APPEND line and remove quiet in extlinux/extlinux.conf. This should print bunch of lines which should help to narrow problem down.

ilchenko Can you reproduce the issue? Patch https://github.com/Pulse-Eight/li…11cf637e3.patch from https://github.com/Pulse-Eight/libcec/pull/616 would probably help.

hv00 sorry for late reply. I have suspicion that OPi PC variants changed and don't have 32 kHz crystal anymore. Can you check if you have v1.2 version? Can you provide detailed photo of both sides with good enough quality to read out markings?
is H265 (HEVC) hardware decoding still supported for H3. im running LE11 and im having problems with playing FHD HEVC content due to it being software decoded(the output is choppy).
It works fine on LE12 nigthly. It doesn't support 10-bit HEVC though. Can you check if that's the case?
eraldin96 I just tested LE11.0.6 on BPi-M2U and HDMI output works fine. Can you give more details?

Before Libreelec 12 it always started up in 1080p but since libreelec 12 it starts in 2 of the 3 times on 1024x720. I have to reboot a few times to get it in 1080p.
This sounds like there is an issue by enabling DDC lines to read EDID. Not sure how this can be random. I guess I'll need to test it for myself, but not sure when.
I just added video=1920x1080@60 to the append line in extlinux.conf. I hope this will fix it.
That will help with video resolution, but you'll most likely lose HDMI audio.
In case this is the wrong way to do it, what's the correct way?
To fix kernel/DT issue
getedid doesn't seem included in Libreelec for Allwinner.
no, but you can find edid blob in sysfs and use edid-decode to get readable text. In any case, 1024x768 resolution is indicative to failed EDID read.
-
Sorry for late response. There is nothing relevant that changed for analog audio, except kernel. Can you test LE13 nightly images?
-
Try to install latest LE12 nightly. There were some fixes about video playback.
If anyone is interested, I can also post WIP images where video decoding is re-done and TX6 is capable of smooth 4k@60 HEVC playback.

I'm not even familiar with the TSC driver. Where is it?

Enable ssh, connect to it and run install2emmc. WARNING: it will wipe out Android without backup!
