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.
-
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.

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
-
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.

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.
-
lucize I don't own any A20 board so I can't help you much with U-Boot issues. Maybe removing projects/Allwinner/patches/u-boot folder will help?
Even if you manage to build image, video playback won't work unless you disable HW acceleration. For HW acceleration you would need at least 5.1 kernel (RC version will be available in two weeks) and additional ffmpeg patches, which are currently in the work.
ruslakall Can you connect serial console to it? Serial output would be very useful in diagnosing the issue. What is your TV native resolution? Can you connect it to any other display? 1080p computer monitor would be best.

New update files are uploaded for A64 and H3, along with updated addon repository (needed due to Kodi bump).
What's new:
- Kodi 18.1
- Linux 5.0-rc8
- 4K H264 decoding supported
- fixed 4K downscaling (watching 4K videos on 1080p screen)
- minor decoding speed improvements
- H264 memory optimizations (*might* help for OPi Lite & One, but I'm not sure)
- HDMI CEC fix
Known issues:
- some H264 and HEVC videos are still not correctly decoded, investigation is ongoing.
- Kodi screen calibration is not stored (fix in Kodi 18.2)
-
any eta when this will move from beta to kodi 18.1 ?
I can upload new updates today, but except Kodi update, 4K H264 decoding and maybe HDMI CEC fix, nothing else would be new. I'm still struggling with some problematic H264 and HEVC videos.
If you think that's ok, then I can do it.

How to make an analog TV output on this assembly.
Analog TV out driver is not yet completed, although anyone with some Linux driver skills could use existing but old patches for that functionality.
-
I do not know if it's all and if it's enough.
You need whole series, not just that patch. Series is enough for kernel side, but ffmpeg side is still missing.
-
I applied patches from kernel/git/next/linux-next.git, but I am confused about support for DRM format modifiers. Please, can You suggest a path?
There are no ffmpeg patches for this yet. Maybe wait until they are ready? Or you want to be proactive and help us with programming?

I know only probably this is problem with alsa / pulseaudio config.
Sadly, no. DW HDMI driver has to be improved, but yes, alsa config needs to be improved too.

andreabak It could be that some metadata are not set correctly. I haven't had time to look into that yet.
tothb001 I'll remove images for boards with 512 MiB of RAM soon. They won't be officially supported.
marcins 1024x768 resolution means that Linux failed to read EDID data from monitor. Because of that, it selected fallback resolution 1024x768. This issue is more common than I thought. For me, it usually helps to unplug HDMI cable on both sides and reconnect. Sometimes it also helps to unplug board completely (all cables) and left it for a few minutes. I really don't know what the issue is and it happens rarely for me, so I don't know how to test possible solutions.
psyapathy yes, it doesn't contain anything AW related. You would have to clone my repo and merge commits from that one. You have to learn a bit about git tool to do that.
lumpi latest update should fix crashing addons. It uses different repo which has addons specifically compiled for Allwinner boards.
orgonth There are probably a lot of drivers missing. The best way would be that you make a PR against allwinner branch which enables drivers you want. Please do that for both, 32 and 64 bit arm architectures at the same time.
BTW, streaming was not actually well tested. Just few seconds once. I guess error handling has to be improved, but that is known already.
