How do I install the image in EMMC memory?

Just dd it on eMMC over ssh. Currently this is the only way (except for OrangePi 3, where a U-Boot update is needed).

Is this of any relevance: Can't get HDMI out on OrangePi One on sunxi-next · Issue #290 · linux-sunxi/linux-sunxi · GitHub? I know that the issue is about Orange-Pi One, and I have the One-Plus, but the symptom is the same.

Actually, it's not the same. In that issue report you can see reported -517 two times, but in your report it's only once, because second time driver loads properly. If driver mentioned in the issue wouldn't be enabled, then image wouldn't work on any combination of TV and board.

Do you have by any chance 4K TV with enhanced colors enabled? If so, try disabling enhanced colors.

Amlogic hardware - sun50iw6p1

Yeah, I don't think anyone at Tanix bothered to check. This will bring a lot of confusion.

Does this ROM have multitouch screen support?

Not yet. I'll prepare PR with various updates in next days and hopefully I'll remember to enable it. Ping me if I will forget.

gamma-271 Actually, your boot log excerpt is pretty normal. Peripherals inside SoC are interdependent. You can't load driver if dependencies are not all loaded yet, which is what has happened here. This can be recognized by error code -517 (-EPROBE_DEFER).

What you have to do is to edit extlinux/extlinux.conf on FAT partition and remove quiet and console=tty1. That way you will get complete boot log and if kernel doesn't crash, serial console. Please provide boot log after these extlinux.conf changes.

Partitions have been created correctly, but orangepi dosen't boot.

I think U-Boot is misconfigured and doesn't check eMMC. I'll fix that soon.

What does this statement by chewitt mean for our SBCs?

It means nothing will change for the time being. We considered releasing alpha and maybe beta (but not stable!) 9.2 images for Allwinner project, but there are simply too many corner cases which don't work well or not at all. First stable images are considered for LE 10. Hopefully we can fix most or preferably all bugs till then.

Hi, I downloaded the latest nightly for PineH64 but I cannot access the libreelec repository to download inputstream.adaptive

You just have to wait until addon repo is rebuilt. As you might noticed, version has changed.

Not ATM, I don't have HW at hand over the weekend. Quick google search found this Possible to disable Kodi's CEC "power on" signal to TV?

ilchenko You don't want OPi to be turned off when TV is turned off? If yes, there is some CEC related setting which disables that behavior.

ilchenko can you try this update? libreelec-h6.arm-9.1-devel-20190619212548-10395eb-orangepi_3.tar

As I said in previous post, I'm not sure if this update will change anything. It has a possible fix for YUV to RGB conversion (current DRM driver has RGB output).

ukmark62 Can you test this update? libreelec-h6.arm-9.1-devel-20190619170922-d72b297-tanix_tx6.tar

It contains a possible fix for a long standing issue, where YUV color space is not correctly converted to RGB, but I'm not sure if that will make colors brighter.

Anyway, Android kernel probably uses automatic image post processing, which may or may not make video look better. I don't have a plan to implement that in kernel driver.

Please note that DRMPRIME Kodi renderer is still young, so it's still missing some functionality, like brightness adjustment.

Are tanix tx6 and tx6 mini most likely compatible?

I did a bit of a research regarding H6 STB functionality. From what I can see, exactly the same image can be used on all of them, including TX6 mini. They have only few, small differences which are not important at this stage.

If you can find detailed PCB image and Android image for that box (to extract DT), I can tell you more, but there shouldn't be any surprises.

That would suggest improper HDMI PHY configuration. However, it shouldn't be all that different to Android. However, HDMI driver will certainly get improvements in future.

Does anyone know why the other HDMI cable works with Amlogic and Rockchip boxes but not with Allwinner?

It probably has to do something with HDMI PHY settings or electrical properties. Does it work with Android? How long is your non-working HDMI cable? Sometimes longer cables (for example, 5m) can be problematic since they need to be driven with higher power.

massoud Can you try this image: libreelec-h6.arm-9.1-devel-20190615175620-0b86f08-tanix_tx6.img.gz ?

It's not directly for your box and some things don't work like ethernet, but it should work in general.

Quote from balbes150

The passport on the TX6 indicates that it 1000 (Gigabyte) network.

If it is really gigabit ethernet, can you find ethernet phy chip? Usually it's realtek one. DT, which I extracted from Android image, says TX6 has RMII interface which would suggest 100 Mbit ethernet.

Fun

BTW, it seems that current U-Boot H6 DDR3 patches break compilation for boards with LPDDR3.

Quote from balbes150

For a wired network need fixes in DTS or even in the kernel ?

Both, but needed kernel changes are currently part of OrangePi 3 patch set which you can find on one of various kernel mailing list. However, OrangePi 3 doesn't need those changes, because it has gigabit ethernet.
