Hi all,
new build available with:
- updated libreelec source (10.0.2)
- ssv6051p wireless driver
- other fixes and small optimizations
Hi,
I tested the new build and I can confirm that it works (also ssv6051p wifi is ok, even if, quite strangely, I cannot ping the device and I cannot access via ssh over wlan interface, but outbound Internet connection is ok)
Thank you
Regards
Display Morehi 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 ilmich ,
yes, I can confirm you the with the build that boots correctly I have no video problems (kodi starts al 1080p-60hz) and I can change video resolution with no problems.
The only thing that is not working is wifi with the ssv6051 chip.
Regards
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 ilmich ,
I tried the new build but I still have the green screen: probably the box didn't finished booting as I have no answers to ping.
Regards
Display Morehi alexwhites,
try with this build
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/…1Hj2ZS9r6YuW0zX
and share the dmesg output.
This build has a fake version of dmc driver.
Cheers
Michele
Hi ilmich ,
I tried this build: the box booted correctly.
Find attached the dmesg output.
Regards
Do you have the chance to post a link to the original firmware or an upgrade firmware for your box?
Hi jock2 ,
here you should find the android firmwares for this box:

Regards
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 ilmich,
the legacy image that I'm using is the LE 9.2 image by Knaerzche, but I tested this image:
LibreELEC-RK322x.arm-9.2-devel-20220124165557-3ce5dd4-rk3229-v88mars.img.gz
and it also works.
Also the very first build of LE10 works (but no wifi)
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 ilmich ,
the result is the same also with the older build using both version of the extlinux.conf.
It's quite strange, because I was able to boot correctly at least once with one of the older builds and the modified extlinux.conf file, and if I boot the stock android or LE 9.2 from SD everything works correctly, using the same cable and monitor
Thank you
Regards
Seems rather a crash to me.
Is the screen just a monotone green or there is some kind of visible image?
The screen is a monotone green, also with the build updated today
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 ilmich ,
no it seems that the box gets stuck and cannot finish booting since I don't see dhcp requests coming from its mac address
Thank you
Regards
Display MoreHi 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
Hi ilmich ,
I tried the new kernel but I didn't have good results: a dark grey screen both with the original extlinux.conf and with the modified one.
I tested two different TV/monitor with the same result.
Regards
Hi,
I tested your kernel, but I still have a green screen
Like you said for testing I'm using an old ACER tv monitor probably with some bugs.
Thank you
Hi ilmich,
I did some more tests using a different monitor (a new LG TV) and the results are the same: green screen.
Also your suggestion to add
video=HDMI-A-1:1280x720on the extlinux.conf is not working anymore (maybe the difference is the new build)
I can add that if I boot the stock android or LE 9.2 from SD everything works correctly, using the same cable and monitor
Thank you
Regards
Display MoreHi 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)
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/…Edy7Kt74E2CTD39
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,
I'm still testing your latest build from SD on a scishion V88 4K device and it seems that wifi is not working
wifi_chip_type is ssv6051
Do you think that a fix is possible?
Thank you
Regards
Hi,
I followed your suggestion and the box booted correctly.
Find attached the edid file (I had to rename it to edid.log)
Thank you
Regards
Hi,
I tried booting your latest build from SD on a scishion V88 4K device, but I have a green screen on boot and I'm afraid I cannot investigate further: do you have some hints?
Thank you for your work
Regards
