Can you try Tanix TX6 image? AFAIK it should work on that box.

I didn't test on H603 because I don't have any such board, but my understanding is that it's more or less same as H6, just lower maximum frequency and no Gigabit ethernet support. I highly doubt they change anything in the HDMI controller itself. It's more likely that CEC source clock is not set correctly. You are sure that you have CEC enabled on your TV? On every TV I used I had to enable CEC first...

Image for Cubieboard2 based on my A20 PR: libreelec-a20.arm-9.80-devel-20191229134424-9bca1fb-cubieboard2.img.gz

which image are you using? Anyway, without having box here it's hard to fix things. Does CEC work on LE? It should...
P.S.: It might be also Kodi issue, it's in pre-alpha state.

it can run on a OpiPC with Armbian running a mainline 5.3?
you would at least need to patch kernel and ffmpeg with patches included here. But kernel patches are for 5.4.
Better yet, would it even run under X?
Doubtful, but with above changes you may be able to build it for GBM platform (no window manager).

riku Some Python issues should be solved with next Kodi update, but I don't know when what will happen nor if that will help solve your issues.

besit changes are already merged and fix will be available in next nightly image.

I enabled additional drivers in kernel. If it works for you, I'll open PR so those drivers will be included in nightlies.

FYI, thermal driver PR was merged yesterday. Kodi should show now CPU temperature. Also on the SoC which have GPU temperature sensor (A64, H6), gputemp command will show GPU temperature. On H3, gputemp show same temperature as cputemp.

Finally some good news. Olimex kindly donated A20 board on which I could reproduce driver issue and fix it. Equally important, Olimex works on HDMI audio driver, but it won't be finished before new year. More info here.
So, anyone who wants to test new images? If so, you can build them yourself from here or ping me with your board name and I'll upload test images.
P.S.: Addons should work too now.

What is the minimum number of u-boot options will be enough to run the system on different h6 models ?
1 for DDR3, 2 for LPDDR3 ?
Maybe, I don't know, I never tried to do something like that. That's not something I'm after.
You can tell in which source files there are parameters that are responsible for the order of polling devices, where to look (extlinux.conf)?
Not sure what you mean exactly. U-Boot has search procedure for extlinux.conf stored in environment variables. This is the same for all platforms, not only Allwinner. You can change them at runtime with setenv and store them with saveenv.
Still, having system on USB dongle and having U-Boot on SD card is very inconvenient for the end user.

U-boot versions for different H6 models are very different from each other, is it possible to have a universal version that will be able to run on all models ?
No, main issue is RAM initialization. For example, Tanix TX6 has DDR3 and most or all SBCs have LPDDR3. Due to tight size constraint in SPL there is place for only one RAM driver.
Is it possible in u-boot for H6 to work with USB (start the system from USB media)?
I'm not sure in what state U-Boot H6 USB driver is, I don't use it. U-Boot itself can't start from USB dongle (only SD card, eMMC, SPI and NAND), but it can start Linux from USB.

Any idea if it possible to manually build latest LE master with a stable Kodi 18?
I guess it is, but you would have to modify build system itself. No response in that thread means that no much people are interested in doing that. I certainly rather spend my time in fixing or improving master than going back.

if you turn off TV, TV will notify box of that via CEC and also the box will turn itself off and only thing to turn it on again is to unplug it and plug it in again. You can turn off that behavior in input settings. However, whenever you turn off box, you'll still have to unplug it and plug it in again. This part is not solved yet and it won't be for some time.
