Support for R40 SoC has been recently added. Currently only supported board is BananaPi M2 Ultra. Everything works well but note that this SoC has no support for H265 HW decoding.

What do you mean "there is no way to build images" ? Just checkout one of the intermediate commits and build it.
-
this is not a very large interval to find out the reason?
well, there is quiet a lot commits: Comparing 2f50060...d1fdc57 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub
I suspect kernel update but it could be also something else, something indirect, like switch from binary mali driver to mesa (due to memory, for example)
-
There is no stable version yet. It will come with LE 10 (no ETA). Just use nightly image, which is updated every day if there is any change.

I don't know, open box and google wifi chip markings...
-
PCIe is not yet supported on H6 with mainline kernel, so it doesn't matter much. Are you sure that it doesn't use SDIO interface?
-
Yes, I'll update it probably next week.
-
Genlekt A10 images were prepared only for test and I don't have any plan to update them. Mostly because I don't have any A10 board to work on.

Cedrus implements request API which can be used from userspace. Currently, LE patches ffmpeg to use this interface directly. I wouldn't say that there is userspace driver - it's not needed for this case.
-
Note that with unsupported boards/features I only give clues here and there. I expect that anyone who works on that has sufficient knowledge to do it mostly on his/her own, unless if I think that it should be added to official LE but that is not the case here.

This can only be debugged through serial console.

If you re-read my post you'll see which file to change. Once you open it, it should be very obvious how to change it - board name - dts file name - U-Boot config name

It's simple - < 1 GiB RAM boards are not supported because I don't want to deal with low memory situations, at least for now. Anything that it's supported in LE master branch can be treated as (semi)officially supported, so that's why there are no such boards. This is different than Armbian which has a notion of community supported boards. Still, it's extremely easy to add any H3 board on your own - just few lines in scripts/uboot_helper. However, if SoC is not yet officially supported (like H2+) then it's more work. I have zero reason to add support for H2+ because I don't have (or know) any H2+ board with at least 1 GiB of RAM.

Well, technically it would be sleep (suspend to RAM), not proper power on/off. I'm not sure anyone has any plans to work on IR in foreseeable future.

freenix I just tested latest LE master image on my OrangePi Win on a freshly unpacked SD card and it still works fine for me.
At this point it would be useful to get Kodi log and output of dmesg command. You can do that either over ssh or serial terminal. Ssh is easier, if you don't have it already enabled, just append ssh at the end of APPEND line in extlinux config on SD card. If that doesn't work, you'll have to connect serial dongle to the board and enable it in extlinux conf by modifying APPEND line - switch console parameters around and append systemd.debug-shell=1 at the end. In either case, please provide output of dmesg command and content of .kodi/temp/kodi.log

It's low priority for me but I'm accepting PRs if anyone else wants to do it
I don't think that any supported device in LE is powered from battery... Anyway, even if crust gets supported, only button will work for turn off/on. IR and CEC are not supported in crust (yet?).

Install normal image first (nightly image) and then put tar file to /storage/.update. You can do than in many ways - over samba, sftp or using Linux PC to name some ways. Then just reboot and LE will be updated. Note that these updates are already a bit old (pre-alpha 1). I need to update them at some point...

alzinzav alucard666 Can you test this image? LibreELEC-A20.arm-9.80-devel-20200805221456-bd5130b-cubieboard2.img.gz
I don't have CB2, but image for OLinuXino-micro works fine. Note that major change in comparison to LE master branch is that it has Linux 5.8.
