  • [Odroid-C5] Ethernet is flashing constantly

    yeh, thanks, it is CoreElec, but i have just registered and seem not be able to post new topics over there (another feature not well understood)

    yes, it is LED flashing all the time, and it is distracting-disturbing, but helps to see that there is excactly an issue with the software or hardware, not sure where this should lead to.

    the SBC probaly consume less power, so no one bothers to make a "sleep" function available for the ethernet if not used, unless , of course, this is afeature of the software as it is trying to capture data from elsewhere.

    if it is not being used, it shoudl stay silent as much as possible, that would be ideal.

  • [Odroid-C5] Ethernet is flashing constantly

    Hello ,


    have bought this SBC some month ago,

    and seem function quite well ,


    took it out of the case and noticed that the light of Ethernet is flashing every second or so, or pulsing,

    but the Libre/CoreElec is just sitting there, i am not interacting with the device / device is on, but not actively used by user.


    my quesiton><

    is this a fault of the SBC itself that it is doing so much activity over Ethernet, or is it a shortcoming of LibreElec/Coreelec that it is sending signals all the time, even when it is not used?


    thanks.

  • Rockpro64 images - no proper hdmi-sound

    thank you,

    have clone the eMMC to sdcard, and repurposed the eMMC for the LibreElec - it seem the problem is no longer occuring.

    however, one another SBC have similar issue,

    one eMMC is android, and CoreElec on SDCard, then however, when both are loaded, the videoplayback is garbled on times on CoreElec 22.

    it seem for one reason or another not liking to have both eMMC and sdcard present at the same time when booting;

    on CoreElec there would be an option to "reboot to eMMC" which would be handy on TV , to boot into fully Android or Linux on demand from within CoreElec , but then if the LibreElec/CoreElec is having issue if eMMC is present it is not worth it.

    (this SBC however uses a Pine A64 eMMC and the sbc itself is from Odroid, which seem to sell there own branded eMMC)

  • Rockpro64 images - no proper hdmi-sound

    hello , could not tell,

    but however upon boot there is sequence with "u-boot" logo on the right,

    and on left, there isl like "uboot 2023.1-dfsg-something from 2025 september or october" - am i right in assuming this is sort of firmware that possibly could be updated?

    on the module it self also numbers present, but too small to read for me atm, but date is possible before 2020.

  • Rockpro64 images - no proper hdmi-sound

    it is with hdmi audio over output over tv or monitor speakers , there is constant noise, and the volume is too (loud)-

    if can share log file that could be useful, willing to do that.

    tried several times, think it is related to the images libreelec rather than hardware defect?

    thanks.


    EDIT: it seem it was false alarm, the images function, the sound is there.


    it must have been caused maybe because i used the eMMC + sdcard at the same time previously, this time not.

    or, the imager that i used to "burn" the image caused a distortion? - anyway, happy to report that it should be fine. sorry to bother.

  • Rockpro64 images - no proper hdmi-sound

    Hello ,


    tried those images for RockPro64


    12.90 (chwitt)

    12.2

    12.0

    11


    or so, but it seem all have problem on my TV or computer monitor with HDMI sound.

    the audio is choppy or garbled, the volume off (too lout)


    is there something can do about it?


    will i need to use older images (like libreleec 10?)

    have also connected on TV a soundbar, but it would not function properly also on monitor with it loudspeaker, so there is probably a misconfiguration or some error in iamages.


    left the setting for audio moreorless like on standard OOTB.


    thanks.

  • disable pulseaudio - how to achieve

    Thank you so much!

    this has function beautifully!

    It seem the home-cinema got new injection of soundyz,


    however, this one Bollywood film when play it seem it would nearly explode the wired subwoofer, it is just an ordinary 2.1 samsung system bought some maybe 4-5 year ago,

    but the passthrough is bit shaking the whole room _)


    will test some more, very pleased.

    blessing and happy new year!

  • Removing the WiFi module from the Pine64 PineNote tablet

    having to hard time to believe it is "idsalbed" with a "dtoverlay" or whatever, but sometimes it is good to just submit to the expertise of the advanced users; will let it rest, eg. get some heat , but still feel not comfortable having it around me; will take some more to convince me it is actually not initialised and cannot be accessed from remote easily. but then, even the ethernet , once on the internet, can be accessed , i guess, quite easily, so that would even it out.

    desoldering is beyond skillset, but hopefully in the neighbourhood it could be done.

    my e-reader have all some form of wifi-enabled, and some like one rather recent kobo even emit unhealhy amounts of radiation in "airplane mode" to the point that have relegated to shelve life. maybe it depends on the soc being used, dont know who the culprit in such cases; older ones from sony fare many times better, but are sadly no longer marketed.

  • Odroid N2+ > C5?

    Hello ,


    am using N2+ and it function really well,

    am using however CE since it better support all video format can playback everything (only struggle with .iso Playback)


    however the Youtube-Addon takes long time to load everytime several seconds again.


    now was wondering if could upgrade to the newer Chipset and found the C5 has it and even cost only half the price of the N2+ , which seems a great bargain.


    However , it seems there is no support yet and according to a another post, there won§t be , atleast from LE, down the road?


    Is there another item that could help with Youtube addon, besides RaspberryPi5?

    it should load fast and process fast.

    The Pi4 function bit better with youtube-addon--but aint perfect.
