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.
I just checked them in 5.10
Where? This is stable branch and I don't see it anywhere: sun50i-a64.dtsi « allwinner « dts « boot « arm64 « arch - kernel/git/stable/linux.git - Linux kernel stable tree
zillevdr Can you try following H5 update for deinterlacing? I get greenish frames but that could be also due to damaged board (I have also network issues on it)
Nope, those two are still required. Why do you think otherwise?
Both approaches work but neither is straightforward.
FYI wifi configuration should work again, work is focused on Bluetooth fixes now.
Orange Pi PC2 - H5 and DVB TV uHAT
Is it possible compile LibreELEC with DVB TV uHAT dtb?
Yes but currently there is no support for overlays yet, so you have to either compile image with additional patch yourself or modify DT by hand (decompile, change, recompile). Neither of these two options is straightforward...
I have an H3 board (BananaPi M2+) and I was wondering, will it run Kodi 18?
I know the Allwinner boards are a little temperamental and some only work with Kodi 19, but I saw an old forum with an Openelec image with Kodi 16, so I thought there might be a chance? Does anyone have any experience with this device? Will building LE 9.2 work for it?
BananaPi M2+ works very well with current nightly images but that means Kodi 19. Why would be Allwinner boards temperamental? LE 9.2 has extremely basic support for Allwinner SoCs and Cedrus driver not so good that it's now, so I wouldn't recommend 9.2 anyway. Why would you need Kodi 18? Python 2?
I just tried the latest nightly (2020/12/06) on my orange pi one plus a few minutes ago.
There seems to be a networking issue ( flashing lights on the ethernet port but no usable internet connection).
I also have problems with ethernet with the newest image (LibreELEC-A64.arm-9.80-nightly-20201208-8bfef13-pine64-lts.img.gz) on the Pine A64 LTS. An older image (20200311) works fine but has some other quirks.
Both networking issues will be fixed once Linux 5.10 PR is merged. If they are not, please report again.
FYI, support for deinterlacing was recently merged into master branch for supported SoCs - A64, H3 and H6. There is no need to use images from this topic. You can start using nightly images with all bells and whistles (and fixes).
