I am really missing option to put my Orange Pi PC Plus board to sleep and wake up using power button.

Any chance to get this feature soon?

Shallow sleep (not much peripherals turned off) might be already possible, but deeper sleep state is tricky. For that you need special firmware on coprocessor. Such firmware, crust, is in the works, but I don't plan to use it in near future. At least until needed drivers come into mainline Linux.

I'm not sure shallow sleep is really usable. It would give you feeling that you turned off the board, but power consumption wouldn't be much lower.

Anyway, someone would have to do some research on that, but I rather work on other issues, like why some H264 and HEVC videos don't work properly.

Tell me how to choose a kernel when compiling (3.x, 4.x, 5.x)?

You can't. LibreELEC is highly integrated environment and changing kernel would break a lot of things. I always work with latest stable kernel (currently 5.0.1, just pushed) and sometimes even with RC, but that shouldn't happen anymore.

wzor

and which distro are you using?

You can try first by installing "xsltproc". If this doesn't work then you can try installing "docbook-xsl". Anyway, nothing of this should matter. If it does, package needs to be updated.

Can you check from completely clean image? E.g. burn image again, update it and try again? If this doesn't work I can only compile docker addon again.

wzor

which git source are you using? mine or that from LibreELEC official repo? What distro (including version) are you using for image building?

Ok, I'm out of ideas. All needed kernel options seems to be present now.

test this update: libreelec-h3.arm-9.1-devel-20190310131132-f3a2819.tar

I added mentioned and some other optional module. Unfortunatelly, blkio warnings can't be avoided. It seems needed kernel options were removed at Linux 5.0. I guess docker needs to be updated to account for this.

What is unusual is that your missing kernel module is not in check script provided by the docker.

marcins

This is report from script which checks kernel config for compatibility with docker.

I have a feeling that docker doesn't load modules if they are needed. Can you load all drivers on the list marked with "(as module)" and then check if it works for you?

Regarding sound, that's strange. I tested image and sound works ok.

marcins

I found script which checks which kernel options are missing. I enabled almost all of them except few optional ones. Can you test this update:

libreelec-h3.arm-9.1-devel-20190309191047-37a2b75.tar

At this point I'm unsure if docker addon needs to be rebuild.

chewitt

I guess kernel config is the main reason why experiment with using amlogic addons on allwinner images didn't work.

No, just change "APPEND" line to anything you want. This is the place where I change kernel boot parameters if I need to.

lucize You can change kernel arguments in extlinux/extlinux.conf file on FAT32 partition. I hope it helps.

And there will be a version for H5? ( Orangepi PC2)

Check topic about H5 issue. In short, not until someone solves it.

roel

What do you mean by "used"? Lima definitively won't be included in Linux 5.1. I'm also unsure if I want to fiddle with patches since it will probably be in 5.2, which is just ~4 months away and I rather spend time on HW decoding.

Quote from marcins

docker working on this image?

Which image exactly? I rebuild all addons to be compatible with latest update (few days back).

Besides, I didn't test any addon and I don't use docker at all (on LibreELEC or PC) so I can't really help you with that.

I don't know what a serial console is. That is way above my "paygrade."

You have to do this: beelink_x2#adding_a_serial_port_.28voids_warranty.29

So, if anyone is willing to test PineH64 image, it is here: libreelec-h6.arm-9.1-devel-20190305205901-ac7b08f-pine_h64.img.gz

Known issues:

- monitor might flicker <- please report this one

- changing MAC address (causes IP address changes)

- 10 bit videos have slight corruption

Quote from foxyboy

Is this something that may be looked at later for main stream LE ?

Just now I'm uploading first preview version for PineH64, which has H6, same as OrangePi 3. Hopefully I'll get board sample and then I can prepare an image for it. At this point it's just a matter of DT file.

Quote from lucize

a20 lime has by default DFU enabled and it depends on USB that was disabled by 002-disable-usb.patch

I need to rethink that part. Probably only USB keyboards should be disabled.
