OrangePi Plus/Plus 2 (same image for both boards)

This image cannot activate wifi. There will be a fix in future?

If wifi driver ever lands in upstream Linux, then yes. Will it? I don't know.

Thanks for info!

First of all, this is not RPi, so nothing RPi specific will work. Second of all, VNC is not supported due to nature of display stack. However, it might get supported in future Kodi versions.

No bluetooth on this model.

This most likely means XR819.

Where can i find the information about the wifi chip?

Easiest way is to open up the box and read chip markings near the antenna, but I already have pretty good idea. No need to do that, if you don't want to.

Anyway, here is experimental TX6 mini image: http://jernej.libreelec.tv/test/tx6-mini/

Build from this source: https://github.com/jernejsk/LibreELEC.tv/commits/tx6-mini

This test need fresh installation. If you have some settings/data you need, use another SD card. Remote should work out-of-the-box without any configuration.

Yeah, tx6 and tx6 mini have different remotes. That's why wake up doesn't work. I'll prepare new image for mini for you to test, but this won't be backported to LE10. It's possible that images will be merged into one some time later, but again, not in LE10.

BTW, which wifi chip is on tx6 mini?

It's entirely possible that tx6 mini variant has different remote as tx6. Unfortunately, firmware, which manages suspend/resume, doesn't have ability to change IR keys on the fly. If you can manage to figure out IR protocol and scancode of power button, I can provide special build image (for now). Fortunately, it's not that hard. Connect over ssh, execute ir-keytable -t, press power button and copy&paste output here. Note, I don't have any board around me currently, so this command may not be complete.

To all,

there were quite some requests in the past to add option for waking up board via HDMI CEC. Currently I have working code for A64, but there should be no problems porting it to other SoCs.

Are there any volunteers for testing this functionality? If so, please give me exact board name. Note, it can't work on some boards (it must have external 32 kHz crystal).

Do you know if other drivers can works with Allwinner

What other drivers? It's Linux policy to have only one driver per peripheral. If you mean vendor driver, which is not upstream, it might work but it's totally useless because it exposes fbdev interface, not drm.

I'll work soon on similar issue on H616, where 2160p@60 doesn't work at all. Maybe I'll discover something that's common to both chips (Allwinner peripheral changes are usually incremental).

Images updated to latest libreelec-10.0 branch with addition of following TrueHD MAT fix: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/20361

This is completely separate issue. Your configuration won't be supported until some developer gets hand on that board and implement support (which may be never).

2160p@60 on Allwinner H6 doesn't work with all displays. For example, it works with my monitor but not TV. I haven't discovered why is that so, unfortunately. It should be driver bug, not HW.

I plan to add support for all 3 wifi variants eventually. It's possible to utilize front display already, if you add device tree overlay to enable I2C bus and then writing some userspace script to drive it. If you want, I can give you more information how to do that.

HW VP9 decoding on H6 is almost useful. ffmpeg support must be reorganized, but for those who would like to try (mostly relevant for YouTube playback), update file is here:

This doesn't help at all. It also could be stability issue. You can tweak minimum allowed CPU voltage in DT and see if that helps.

No, this is the first time I hear it. What kind of restart is it? Only Kodi or whole system? If only Kodi crashed, you should have crash logs.

Good question why there is no board specific files. Fortunately, for your test, you can use generic H3 update: https://test.libreelec.tv/LibreELEC-H3.a…012-0cb023d.tar

Fix is submitted here for LE10 and here for LE11 (current nightly images). Thanks for reporting!

Issue confirmed on OrangePi Plus2E with current master. It used to work not so long ago. I'll take a look.
