Hi killianbe,

thanks for the info.

I found a firmware that should be for h20.

Analyzing it, however, I didn't find any big changes (apart from having the CPU clock at a maximum of 1GHz). Have you tried booting it with libreelec from the sdcard?

Cheers

Michele

Hi presko,

Do i have to so anything else after uploading in /Update and reboot ?

make sure the folder is /.update and not /Update.

I have flashed nightly-20230723 with multiboot on the mmc and runned stable on rk3229 until now.

I am not sure if it had resized correctly the partitions... but works stable for now and i dont have space issues.

Boxes with more than 8GB of internal memory I've only seen one. I think in your case the specs are fake

Besides the 9012p wifi not working i dont have any other issues.

You were unlucky, this chip is not supported. Both because I don't have one with that chip, and because there is no decent source code

Quote from presko

Thank you for the great job and the passion of dedication.

Thank you very much, it's users like you who push me to continually improve. But nothing would exist without the team at libreelec and kodi who work hard to make this possible for us.

Hi all,

new build of libreelec-10 available with:

- mesa 23.1.8

- backported an experimental patch that increase a lot performance of kodi (https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/22012)

- some small CPU governor improvements

Cheers

Michele

Hi killianbe,

I don't know this box, so my port may or may not work fine.

Can you please send me more info(product link, link of original firmware)?

However, I recommend you try libreelec 10. As explained in the first post, you can try booting from the SD card by installing the latest version. It's pretty simple, you have to write the libreelec image to an sd card, insert it, and see if it starts.

Regarding emby addon (which I don't know), if it works with kodi it will also work with libreelec.

Let me know

Hi MIKMXIII,

I know. The build is still in progress and I haven't added the usual customizations. However, soon I will release a new build of libreelec 10 (which is still the best for our boxes) and libreelec 11. I found a kodi patch that significantly increases performance and decrease GPU/CPU usage.

Cheers

Hi wizardknight,

it could be a Kodi bug because I saw this issue that seems similar

Hi wizardknight,

this port only concerns Android boxes with RK3228 soc.

However, rock64 is officially supported

Hi all,

new build of libreelec 11 available with:

- linux 6.1.45

- mesa 23.1.6

- a lot of fix and improvements

The build is very stable but there are some missing features (like NAND). Think of it as a preview.

Cheers

Hi H3N7R1K,

Quote from H3N7R1K

Yo ilmich does Libreelec 11 work on nand 3229q board?

not yet. Currently the best version of libreelec is 10.

Hi everyone,

it's been a long time since the experimental builds of Libreelec 11.

I want to tell you that the project is progressing slower than expected, but it's not abandoned.

Maybe in the next few days, I'll release an updated build.

Hi all,

new build of libreelec-10 available with:

- linux 5.10.186

- mesa 23.1.3

- fix ssv6051p connection error on some wifi AP/Router (https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/5448)

Cheers

Michele

chewitt you are right. but looking at the logs, the kernel sees the SD card correctly. so by exclusion that error might appear if the installation encountered some problem.

Hi all,

new build of libreelec-10 available with:

- linux 5.10.186

- mesa 23.0.4

- fix remote key mapping (thanks @dmladenov)

- enabled audio passthrough (thansk jaum20 for testing)

Cheers

Michele

seems correct to me, but I don't use Windows so I'm not 100% sure. But you should see two partitions with blkid, with output similar to this (it's an experimental box, partition names are not real)

tvchiptryp:~ # blkid
/dev/rknand0p1: LABEL_FATBOOT="SYSTEM" LABEL="SYSTEM" UUID="3003-4337" BLOCK_SIZE="512" TYPE="vfat" PARTUUID="22aeff87-01"
/dev/rknand0p2: LABEL="STORAGE" UUID="7e1f7cb6-2d57-45d8-bc99-ac316c2f31f6" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="22aeff87-02"

Have you tried using a rufus alternative!?

try another sd card/reinstall libreelec.

There should be two partitions, the fact that there is only one makes me think that something went wrong with your installation.

let me know

it's very strange.. from these logs I see you have a 4gb sd card (mmc0) and internal memory (mmc2) of 8GB.

please post output of

- blkid

- content of file extlinux/extlinux.conf from first fat32 partition

In practice, when booting, libreelec tries to mount the partitions by recognizing them via an id (which you will see with the blkid output) written in the extlinux.conf file.

So another reason is that there is something wrong with this association.

hi JefersonBP2801,

please:

- start libreelec 10 and from the prompt with the error send a photo of the output of ` dmesg | grep mmc

- if you still have Android send the full version of the build that works for you

- if you can, get a CPU heatsink of at least 20x20mm because otherwise, you will have overheating problems

googling a bit I've discovered that:

- your soc is rk3228A

- your board has an mmc (which is better than nand),

- your board has an unsupported wifi chip (ssv6256p which you can confirm by analyzing your board)edit

edit: the problem you are having is related to the fact that after loading the kernel from the sd card, the kernel itself seems to disable/fault the sd controller.

This can depend on many factors (damaged sd card, particular wifi chip, etc). So having information about your operating system I can see how the hardware is configured.

HI, EmilB

your problem is not that strange. There are other cases of boxes not booting armbian or libreelec.

This depends on the android/bootloader version you have installed. In fact, bootloader from internal memory very often takes precedence, therefore old bootloaders cannot start the system correctly from the SD card.

This is why on the armbian forum it's recommended to clear the device's internal memory or to update the bootloader as you did then. But in fact, apart from some exceptional cases that I don't know about, it is difficult for a box not to boot from sd.

Regarding libreelec 11, it's not stable. Have you tried using Libreelec 10?!

In any case, I would need a log/screenshot of the problem, otherwise, it's impossible to try to help you

jaum20 I tried but it doesn't give me any problems. Can you test by creating the swap manually with something like this

dd if=/dev/zero of=/storage/swap bs=1M count=512
mkswap /storage/swap
swapon /storage/swap
