High temps aren't expected unless doing something CPU intensive, e.g. software decoding. NB: CPU temp is reported, GPU is faked in the Kodi GUI (re)using CPU data. Most boards also benefit from heatsinks and cases that conduct heat. The 71ºC temp is higher than desirable but most boards can run a lot hotter than we're comfortable with so it's probably short of problem levels.

Crashes (not heat related) are perhaps more expected given the current experimental state of images with 160+ patches. There are known issues with DRM buffer sizes that will probably show up with HEVC media and spam the system log with IOMMU page-fault reports. If those start showing the system ends up in a state that will ultimately need a reboot to recover from.

NB: Put kodi in debug mode and then use "pastekodi" to share log URL's post-crash. Guessing at issues isn't our strength

Can you take a look at the log here? https://paste.libreelec.tv/legible-shrimp.log

With latest build for rk3566, I got high cpu/gpu temperature (71C) and sometimes crash. Is it expected?

dale, I took a look at your device tree.

It looks like an v88mars (ddrw, nand, ssv6051p) but with the addition of ddr3 scaling.

My images have just that as device tree (without ddr3 scaling support for greater compatibility in the first installation phase). It's very strange. Can you please share miniloader, trust etc etc etc?!

Hi,

Please take a look at miniloader. I got it from jock2 on armbian forum. Trust & uboot from your tar version which also don't work for me. Here are trust & uboot for your reference link

hi dale, can you please explain your procedure?! are you using some sort of rockchip flash tool?!

Sadly I don't understand if you have erased flash and burn my image, or you are trying to flash manually every single pieces (this second method never works)

U-Boot, trustos, miniloader are in the TAR version of my builds.

Hi, the second method is exactly what I made my box work for LE9 (with my custom dtb). You are correct, I'm using rkdeveloptool to flash piece by piece with proper partition table. With LE10 using same method with my custom dtb, I can get power led on but LE seemed not to want to boot up. The same thing happened using your uboot trustos and miniloader.

I suspect that my custom dtb is not compatible with LE10. Can you please take a look at it? I will really appreciate.

Using rkdeveloptool to write your whole build img into sector 0x0, nothing happened.

Hi ilmich,

I've tried to flash directly your build with various dtb including my custom dtb as well, but nothing happened.

When I tried flash uboot, trustos, system and storage images separately with my custom dtb, I could see the power led & lan port led on but no display signal.

I suspect either my uboot/trustos images or my custom dtb is wrong. Could you please send me separated uboot and trustos images so that i can try again?

Thank you so much!

Hi JoeEdison I never succeeded with multitool

Hi dale, yes... my images contains miniloader, uboot, trustos... in short, it can be flashed directly on the nand / emmc with the various rockchip tools.

I always recommend for those who want to make a backup.

edit: and to assume all the risks involved. the tests were done on a board with nand (mine) and a board with emmc (thanks jock2) so it works. But the rk3229 boards are so many that is difficult for me to give you a certainty, apart that you can't hard brick the board (you can ever go back to another working firmware)

Thank you.I will give it a try and get back to you soon!

Hi ilmich,

I don't understand what you mean by install your build directly in NAND. Did you mean that write your image directly to sector 0x0?

Hi ilmich,

Attachment is my custom device tree source for my device. I'm not sure it will work with version 10. Can you please take a look?

Hi ilmich,

I've tested my box with your build which supported NAND but there was no luck until now.

I'm running version 9 from knaerzche with unusual installation process (my box with NAND and without sd card slot): write legacy-uboot @2000, write trust-os @4000, boot @8000 and storage @108000 sector. Boot and storage are stripped out off libreelec image.

I did the same for lastest version 10 build but no luck.

Hopefully you can help me with it.

Thanks!

Such a good new! Thanks for NAND support. Will give it a try today!

Thanks for your hard work!

Unfortunately, my box came with NAND, will wait for a new update with NAND working.

Hello,

I got a Rk3229 box with NAND, no SD slot card. Is there any way that the box can boot up LE? I tried rkdeveloptool for flashing img into NAND but no luck. Thank you
