    Hm,
    never used the serial port and a TTL-USB adapter for debugging before .....
    After a bit of trial and error I got the first usable output from a running installation.
    Now its time for the real life :)


    I extracted the rk3399-nanopi-neo4.dtb and copied it to LIBRELEC partition, changed entry in extlinux.conf

    Boot failure with LE 11 2022-12-05 regardless of using ..m4.dtb or neo4.dtb

    Code
    U-Boot TPL 2022.10 (Dec 05 2022 - 22:11:21)
    sdram_init: LPDDR3 - 933MHz failed!
    rk3399_dmc_init DRAM init failed -22
    Missing DTB

    Boot ok with LE 11 2022-09-01

    Ok, I did some more investigation.
    First I noticed that I have used nightly 20220617 accidently.
    So I figured I might try newer images first ... But uups some of them did not even boot!


    I tried different versions to isolate the problem. And I found different behaviours.

    • Images unitl 2022-09-01 are booting fine.
    • Image from 2022-09-02 unti 2022-09-14 not tested yet.
    • With Image 2022-09-15 and 2022-10-01 the system boots up until the LE logo appears.
    • Image 2022-11-01 and 2022-11-30 did not even start booting ....


    In Image 2022-09-01 I changed the bootloader as shown. Bluetooth shines through its absence.
    Here is dmesg output ...
    And PVR Client's are installable now.

    1.

    As suggested I integrated the dietpi firmware. But nothing changed.

    2.
    I installed LE11. And wow. Wifi is working as expected.
    But I loose Bluetooth (no device found) :(

    And I'm not able to to find a PVR-Client.
    Found this thread and followed the link. But still no PVR Client. :(

    Since there is no image for the NEO4 I installed the NanoPi M4.
    On my first tests everything except of wifi is working fine.

    Looking at dmesg I found that brcm_fw crashes :(

    To verify that wifi on my NEO4 is working, I installed DietPi 8.11.2 instead of LibreElec.

    Of course the brcmf_* files are different. But with DietPi Wifi works as expected.

    How to make wifi work with LibereElec?
