The Armbian image I used is Armbian_20.02.1_Rock64_buster_current_5.4.20.
This boots fine. Using the commands, you provided, I copied u-boot image and then wrote it to the sdcard that contains your libreelec. DTB has been configured to load the rock64.dtb.
If everything is done correctly, the system must necessarily show the start LE (primary screen with the LE logo). Which DTB do you use ? Show the content (uEnv.txt). Show all the commands that you use to copy and write u-boot.
Oh, just to be clear, you mean I can etch your LE to a thumbdrive and etch armbian to an sdcard. Insert both sdcard and the thumbdrive and I can boot LE? Thanks. Also I just saw that you added support to 4K TV. I will try that too. I've been connecting Rock64 to a 4K tv.
Edit1: So I tried the armbian in sdcard and your LE in a thumbdrive method. Rokc64 boots to armbian as before and asks for login information. It did not prompt boot options or anything. Is there a specific command or edits I should do?
Edit2: I also tried editing u-boot based on your helpful guide. All commands seemed to have worked fine. 17MB/16MiB sized img was created. But as before, no signal to the TV. Also, no LED activity as before.
What exact version of the Armbian image are you trying ? The official Armbian does not have the function of launching from USB media. The size of the u-boot image must not exceed 16Mb. After writing the LE image and add u-boot to SD card, you must configure the DTB used in the file (uEnv.txt).
Version 20200529.
Added support for video output to 4K TV (Tested on RockPi 4B).
and Armbian all work fine.
If you have ArmbianTV running, you can easily start LE from a USB drive. Write LE to USB, configure DTB, and connect an SD card with USB in place. Automatically start LE from USB.
can build his image with the changes mentioned by CvH here on this link
Sorry, I don't understand what you want to get ?
To All update 20200527 (fix amlgx)
Tried the rock64 build and made sure to change the uEnv to point to rock64 dtb but I get no signal from HDMI at all - just black screen. Is there anything else I need to do?
What image do you use ? You may also need to add u-boot to your SD card for your model.
These files are for the old 4.4 kernel. I don't work with it anymore.
Test images 20200524.
Good news. It seems that lrusak solved the problem of returning to KODI after playing a video for the AML platform.
Updated version 20200512.
Used by the kernel 5.7-rc5 + latest patches from Kwiboo
On models rk3399 running 4K decoding.
Added version 3328-old with simplified u-boot for older models.

This topic is about a different version. You need to refer to the leading maintainer of the RK platform in its theme.
Moderators, can you move these messages to the correct topic ?
Unfortunately, the freshly built image does not want to boot on my NanoPi M4 from SD card.
You can add a working u-boot separately. Write your image to the SD card and then write the u-boot image to the same SD card (you can download it from this link).
Help me see what's wrong， thank you！ 9.8 compilation error
Which GIT\branch do you run the build from and with which command ?
When downloading from an sd card via UART, I see the following:
The G12 image includes a u-boot for s922 (g12b), it will not work on s905x2 (g12a).
PROJECT=ARM DEVICE=ARM-ALL ARCH=aarch64 UBOOT_SYSTEM=rk3399-nanopi-m4 make image
PROJECT=ARM DEVICE=ARM-ALL ARCH=aarch64 PLATFORM=RK UBOOT_SYSTEM=rk3399-nanopi-m4 make image
Do you know how to build Kodi for ARM Linux, eg. for Manjaro Linux for RockPi 4, Edge-V RK3399?
The default Kodi for Manjaro is 64-bit but I want to build a 32-bit one so it can work with more addons and Widevine.
The Kodi wiki only explains it for Linux X86 and not for ARM devices and how to activate OpenGLES, Panfrost etc.
It must share some build steps with LibreELEC.
Even if you build KODI 32 bits, it won't work on Manjaro 64 bits.
Can you add dtb for Minix U22-XJ?
I don't have that kind of test equipment.

ARCH=aarch64
Tronsmart Vega S95 Telos (Amlogic S905)
Show a photo of the device. For s905, you need to use the "gxbb" version (after recording the image, you do not need to change anything in the settings). You may need to switch to the fixed option in the settings for the sound to work correctly.
If the add-on compatibility is not needed, is there any actual advantage/hindrance in using arm or aarch64 images? I recall reading balbes150 mentioning temperature, but maybe I'm having a Mandela effect... Does one perform better than the other?
aarch64 runs faster than arm by about 20-30% faster.
The test version of the LE for AML s8xx (s805\s802\s812). Today there are two versions 20200430 and 20200503. You can find out more info in this topic.
