Read main topic - it's unsupported and it will remain so.

oh, forgot to ask, is there anyone interested in TV out (composite, CVBS) on H3 or H5? I have test image...

MoToR  Timpanogos Slim  kursantkvi Can you please test this H6 update? LibreELEC-H6.arm-9.80-devel-20210128183834-7d0199b.tar

It's build from Commits · jernejsk/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

To all,

recent updates:

1. Suspend/resume and power on via remote and power button should work reasonably well on most H6 and A64 boards. H5 was not yet tested and H3 is work in progress. On TV boxes remote IR wake up/power on key is set to the same scancode as remote which come with the box (currently only Tanix TX6). On all other boards, wake up IR key is configured as RC6 MCE remote power button. This unfortunately can't be configured at runtime yet.

2. Installation command was added - install2emmc - it creates clean installation on emmc from currently running image (no download is needed). If you want to transfer settings, backup and restore functionality must be used.

3. Support for DT overlays - if you want to modify DT, this should be used. Just drop dtbo file to overlays folder on FAT partition and add a line in extlinux.conf. For example, activation of IR on PineA64 would be FDTOVERLAYS /overlays/sun50i-a64-ir.dtbo. You can specify multiple overlay files, if you want. Overlays are preserved over updates. Note - if there is an issue with applying overlay (wrong file path, incompatible overlay, etc.) board won't boot. In such case fix the issue or just remove it from the overlay list and it will boot again (annoying for emmc installations).

Not sure if it possible to override that.

Change Bootsplash - LibreELEC.wiki

dd command is same, no matter if it is SBC or TV box. If this is not good enough clue for you, then rather wait for installation script I'm working on.

gaguilar I have never seen such issues on A64, either with Pine64 plus or OrangePi Win and I tested both boards recently (a couple of weeks ago). It seems to me like some GPU issue. Can you execute command pastekodi and provide a link produced?

AjayDabas Read first post. installtointernal is (was?) amlogic specific.

hello_world.c I worked with IR just this month but there were no remotes pre-configured. I had to add mce mapping.

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.

Quote from djsasha777

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.
