MoToR There is no secret sauce - it either works or not. There has been similar issues reported, but I can't pinpoint the problem. It works fine on all my monitors and TV. Probably something in HDMI driver.
macchese Suspend/resume feature is not considered yet stable. Note that addons may also have bug in suspend/resume handling, but that is out of scope for me.
I don't know if the deinterlacing synchronization issue is a bug I should report somewhere?
You should certainly take a look at deinterlace topic...
Let me guess, 4K TV and 1080i stream?
PR is now ready: Allwinner: Support for DT overlays by jernejsk · Pull Request #4788 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub
Only few overlays are present for now, but most importantly, users can add their own overlays without fear that they will be overwritten with next update.
H2+ IR (banana pi m2 zero don't have ir pin, is it possible use other pin with DT support?)
No, chip supports HW IR only on one pin. However, GPIO variant is possible but for that I won't include overlay, too much options.
I would rather not change extlinux.conf approach exactly for simplicity reasons. As it was said before, FDTDIR is the way to go for multi-board support in single image with extlinux.conf.
There is awutils tool suite for handling Android images/updates. They are easy to use, so I think you can manage on your own. Note that TV boxes are not really supported here anyway because of their quirkiness and changes between different batches (same model can have different wifi modules among other things). Even Beelink X2 image has some strange issues with eMMC on some revisions...
No, not really. I remember there was similar issue with U-boot long time ago, but IIRC it was solved... Anyway, fixing TV box issues is hard due to missing board schematic. Some things may be deduced from fex file if you can extract it from Android update file.
Ah yes, pine64 wifi - I forgot about it. I'll check audio board - I don't have it...
Thanks for suggestions!
To all,
initial H6 suspend/resume/power button support has landed for most H6 boards. Slowly support for more boards and more SoCs will be added.
Now I need a bit of help will DT overlay support. I need ideas which overlays should be included by default. Please comment here: DT overlay support
Hi all,
I'm working on DT overlay support (initial PR here: Allwinner: Support for DT overlays by jernejsk · Pull Request #4788 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub). Most infrastructure is in place but there is only one overlay included - H6 IR. What I need is some ideas which overlays would be popular so they should be included in image by default. Note I don't intend to include overlays which would be useful for only one or two users. Such overlays can be manually added - they won't be touched with updates (unless they become part of default overlay collection).
My next overlay idea:
H2+ ethernet
Please comment with DT overlay ideas.
Which board? In LE you add new board in scripts/uboot_config. If you mean how to add board to Linux (how to write DT file) then I'm afraid it's out of scope for this forum.
forart I have T95 box but H616 support is in very early stages, currently we are happy that mainline U-Boot and kernel boots and network work. However, I didn't manage to make HDMI to work. It will take some time before H616 becomes viable for LibreELEC.
quovodis which image you're using for T95max? If you're using Tanix TX6 image, I'll have to disappoint you that it won't be supported at first due to a lack of power management chip. There was a talk about possible CEC wakeup source implementation but it won't come soon. Author of suspend functionality isn't really interested in that case and I'm working on other things...
To all,
there are two main features in the work:
1. suspend/resume functionality, at first only for H6 (A64 will follow soon after), wake up source - power button press and RC6 MCE IR remote power button:
2. DT overlay functionality, to change DT on the fly (work in progress, not very close to be merged):
No, not really, at least from me. Too much work for nothing that can be used later (source wise).
Sorry, but emulators are one thing which is not tested at all. AFAIK their working are hit on or miss even on other platforms. It could be mesa issue or something else.
Wifi module on Lite is not supported here. It's a long standing LibreELEC policy not to add more external Realtek drivers to the build system.
zillevdr Allwinner: Fix and improvement by jernejsk · Pull Request #4784 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub fixes H264 decoding issue and enables HW deinterlacing on H5. It's already merged, so you can start using nightly images from tomorrow forward.
We just discovered that this PR ffmpeg, Allwinner: Update H264 request API patches by jernejsk · Pull Request #4606 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub introduces H264 decoding issues. Before that it works much better. You can add this patch http://ix.io/2JaK to linux patch collection. I plan to include it in master soon.
Note that HW deinterlace support was introduced recently, so you'll have a bit of work to combine all required patches and maybe fix them.
