hi JoeEdison,

thanks for your feedback, in the next build I updated the driver for the mesa gpu, where i saw some good optimizations.

Now that my build is working more or less well I am starting to refine it.

Unfortunately, the initial idea of having a universal device is not good for everyone. So the idea is

- create a safe device, which should allow booting on all boards

- recreate the legacy device trees so that everyone can choose their own (a bit like the amlogic port) manually or with a shell script

regarding the 6051p, I'm still having trouble getting it to work.

alexwhites in the meantime you can confirm me that with the build that works for you, you have no video resolution problems?!?!

Hi all,

I've released an updated build with support for NAND and other things. See changelog in the first post.

alexwhites try it and let me know.

hi alexwhites,

try with this build

test – Google Drive

and share the dmesg output.

This build has a fake version of dmc driver.

Cheers

Michele

hi alexwhites,

it looks like a ddr2 / ddr3 recognition problem. As soon as I can, I'll ask you to try a kernel so I can get more information and try to fix the problem.

Thanks for your patience

Quote from JoeEdison

It only works from the SD card and not from the NAND, right??

For now, yes, even if support for nand is around the corner

alexwhites, it's strange to me too. try the very first build, the one without ddr3 support.

edit: can you please tell me the exact legacy image that works!?

Hi alexwhites can you please try with another build (for example this one https://drive.google.com/file/d/1omh0Yz…cSuIILHqf43DgPu)?!.

In recent builds I have tried to change the cpu voltages a bit. Maybe that's the problem.

Hi all,

I've released an updated build with a new kernel and some little optimizations. See changelog in the first post.

hi alexwhites,

I'm trying to upgrade the kernel, and in the meantime see if I can backport any patches from the rockchip kernel. But the box, despite the unwatchable screen, still works !? Can you send the output of the dmesg command ?!

JoeEdison although old, with libreelec my box is still usable. And I think with libreelec 11 things could get even better

Hi alexwhites,

after some research, i realized that maybe the problem lies in the rgb <--> yuv conversion.

In practice, the TV communicates, via edid, that this resolution is in a format and therefore the driver behaves accordingly.

In your case it looks like the TV sets itself in one format, but the driver in another and hence the colors busted.

I did not understand if the problem is in the kernel or in the TV, however the legacy driver should force the output in rgb format.

I try to do the same thing and see if it works.

EDIT: try this kernel

testing – Google Drive

Hi alexwhites

according to the edid you have an ACER full hd monitor(or tv), probably with some bugs.

I have enabled a kernel hack for your particular device which prefer a particular frequency. Put this kernel inside the first partition of sdcard (obviously remove the resolution forcing)

testing – Google Drive

and let me known.

Regarding ssv6051 thanks to jock2 there is a driver for mainline but with libreelec I've experienced some problems.

Maybe in the future there will be a better driver, but for now I recommend you to use a usb wifi device. Sorry

Hi all,

I've released an updated build with several stability fixes. See changelog in the first post.

dale, unfortunately NAND is a complicated thing. But I'll do my best

Hi alexwhites

do you have a 4k tv ?!?! green screen usually indicates a resolution not supported by the driver.

try to edit the extlinux / extlinux.conf file present in the fat partition of the sd card by adding

video=HDMI-A-1:1280x720

if works, in a ssh session launch this command

cat /sys/class/drm/card1-HDMI-A-1/edid > /storage/edid

and share the file /storage/edid

thanks

Hi juliomm64,

thanks for the feedback, i have restored my gdrive folder

hi JoeEdison, Lajos

with my latest build, I've fixed some small issue, updated libreelec upstream code, and I've also fixed and enabled suspend to ram with wakeup with remote(that should be better than virtual power off)

edit: virtual power off is not abandoned, just I need more time.

Hi Lajos, thanks for your feedback.

Quote from Lajos

Hello! V88K Plus, The remote control works at startup but if I turn it off it can't be turned on afterwards, it works well in version 9.

I known, I'm working on backport the 'virtual poweroff' driver from legacy kernel.

Libreelec 10

FEATURES

- kodi matrix 19.5

- mainline kernel 5.10.186

- mainline opensource gpu driver

- legacy u-boot

- ddr3 frequency scaling

- boot from SD

- boot from EMMC (thanks to jock2 for testing)

- boot from NAND

- ir receiver (it works, but if your remote is not recognized, follow this guide https://wiki.libreelec.tv/configuration/ir-remotes and share results)

- wifi/bluetooth only if there is a mainline driver (I'll do my best for others, but is more safe eventually to buy an external adapter)

- hardware accelerated video decoding (mpeg2/h264/hvec/vp9). only FullHD tested, because I don't own a 4k tv.

- virtualpoweroff with wakeup with remote

- analog audio

DOWNLOADS

- older builds (< september 2022): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/…0IoQVjQdlMaafNx

- builds: https://ilmich.libreelec.tv/libreelec-10/

- source: https://github.com/ilmich/LibreELEC.tv/tree/libreelec-10.0

INSTALLATION

- for boot from SD see https://wiki.libreelec.tv/installation/create-media

MANUAL UPDATE

Copy (via ssh,samba, etc etc) the desired build into folder

/storage/.update

and reboot device.

INITIAL SETUP

To allow booting in most cases, the image uses a generic device tree. This device tree doesn't have support for ddr3 ram, doesn't turn on any LEDs, etc etc.

However, it's possible to change the device tree by choosing from the supported devices list with rk322x-dtb-switch.sh command.

rkelec:~ # rk322x-dtb-switch.sh
usage: /usr/bin/rk322x-dtb-switch.sh [list|switch|help]


show                      show current device tree
list                      show available device trees
switch [device tree]      switch to a device tree
help                      show this help

sample session

rkelec:~ # rk322x-dtb-switch.sh switch rk3229-box-v88mars
Device tree rk3229-box-v88mars founded
Are you sure(y/n)?y
Mounting flash rw
Switching dtb
Mounting flash ro
Switching is ok, now you need to reboot!!

SUPPORTED DEVICES

The following table shows the supported devices (with device trees).

Device trees with the suffix -ovclk contain some changes to slightly overclock cpu/ram. Overclocks are tested, but may make your board unstable. So use them at your own risk.

KNOWN ISSUES

- gui may not be smooth (it also depends a lot on the skin used, like legacy builds)

- for drm contents, resolutions >= 720p are not guaranteed. This is because decoding is software and the cpu/gpu may not make it

- analogic video not works (and maybe never will)

- let me known

SUGGESTIONS

- if you have problems with pvr clients during channel switch, set a delay of around 200ms in order to let kodi and gpu release resources correctly.

- stay at 720p and let kodi switch resolution when play something

- without your logs, I can't try to fix anything

hi bluetako , my tips is for libreelec 9.2. On mainline kernel works different.

Try my unofficial build of libreelec 10 with kernel 5.10.x

[UNOFFICIAL][Le11-10][RK3228/RK3229][box]Libreelec builds

Hi,

thanks to the experience gained with my builds of libreelec 9.2.x and the work of the community (rockchip and more), I'm sharing my unofficial build of libreelec for boxes with soc rockchip 322x.

** BIG FAT WARNING **

** I will try to help with legal addons (which I don't develop directly anyway). But if you have problems **
