It's because balbes150 persists in creating "aarch64" images and the image is probably still configured to point at the "amlgx" repo that I maintain which only contains "arm" addons. No bug, and I have no intention of building aarch64 stuff

@chwitt You yourself asked to disable the amlgx repository in m'y test images (4.18). Or can I enable it now ?

@chwitt mentioned that if necessary, I can use a share to host images or Addons. I plan to soon master the build of Addons for aarch64 (if I can't get kicked out of the community LE)

New kernel image 3.14 (20181008). By default, when you select the menu item "Libreelec->Services - >Install to eMMC", the installation option is executed in eMMC with full saving of the regular Android. This means that if you select "Reboot from Android" in the shutdown menu, the system will be rebooted and the regular Android will be started. For a "clean" installation in eMMC (with the removal of the standard Android), you must first rename the script "erase_android_install2emmc.sh" to "install2emmc.sh". In this case, all data from Android in the "/dev/system" and "/dev/data" sections will be erased and Librelec will be written instead.

Please note that for the correct operation of the installation in eMMC it is necessary to update the universal multi-boot using these images.

To properly start the system with the desired DTB option, you now need to edit the file "uEnv.ini" (edit the file name that will be used at startup).

New image 20181005 kernel 3.14.

Fix install to eMMC.

downloaded aarch64 images which i installed to my SD.

what image have you tried ?

Quote from e123enitan

I just did a fresh install to external drive which was fine, but I could find any addon such as PVR, I got message like system cannot connect to repository, is there a way to side load Libreelec repo?

Wait for psychics who will guess what model of TV box you have, what version of the image and so on.

Please note that for the correct operation of the new installation system in eMMC it is NECESSARY to update the universal multi-boot using the latest LE image. To update the universal multi-boot, you can use either the toothpick method or by running the Android application (local update using the archive "aml_autoscript.zip"). Without this procedure, after you install LE in eMMC, LE will not start, would only run regular Android.

I am using the latest image LibreELEC-S912.arm-9.0-devel-20180920164743-905fd26.img.

I put a link to the dtb as part of the name in the last post.

There is no such file in the image. Therefore, it is built outside the source kernel that is used in the image and will not be able to work with it.

Edit : I tried to manually test your install2emmc script via ssh

The first command fails

Show the entire output of the script. The specified error may not be critical (in some cases). What system is installed in eMMC ?

Quote from chataigne73

I just installed your new build to emmc (after doing backup with your implemented).

The system shut down, then it restarted OK direct to LE.

But I have no "reboot to Android" in power off menu.

Any idea?

1. What model of TV box ?

2. What is the version of the LE image used ?

3. Write in detail the steps you did.

Quote from ozarks

I decided to give this a test and initially was able to boot up from the SD card successfully but I noticed that whilst I had WiFi, there was no Ethernet connectivity shown.

So I swapped out the q201 2g dtb with the one that I had previously been using that has ethernet (gxm_q201_2g_1gbit.dtb) but then unfortunately it would not boot at all.

1. The version of the image LE ?

2. Where did you get this dtb (gxm_q201_2g_1gbit.dtb) ?

For all.

When asking a question, be sure to specify the version of the LE image that you are trying. Without specifying the version of the image, there will be no response.

Quote from ozarks

A very interesting option to run LE and Android in parallel from eMMC but my question is what is the procedure for switching between the the two?

Since the regular Android does not know how to work with other systems, it is implemented through the menu item in LE. Start LE and the selected item in the menu off "Reboot to Android".

New images 20180920 (kernel 3.14).

I draw attention to the changes. Now the process of installing the system in eMMC has changed. The default install of the additional copy of the LE at eMMC without uninstalling regular Android. Now, to install LE in eMMC, there is a special menu item in "Libreelec->Services->eMMC->Install to eMMC". When you select this menu item, LE will be copied to eMMC in parallel to Android (Android is fully saved and can be used). Also in the new images added two menu items to create and restore a full copy of the eMMC on external media (along with the bootloader, settings and all data). I recommend that you make sure you create a full copy of eMMC before installing LE on eMMC. Depending on the type of external media and how busy eMMC data is, the backup process can take anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes. After the copy is created or restored, the system automatically shuts down. It is not recommended to use the system during creation and recovery (to reduce the risk of errors). For those who want to install LE in eMMC with delete Android, you need to rename the script on the external media beforehand "full_install2emmc.sh" to "install2emmc.sh", start the system from external media and also select the item in the menu. The system will execute the installation LE to replace eMMC with Android on LE.

Update image LE 20180902 kernel 4.18 (for s905x).

Test version 20180902.

This version includes HW hardware acceleration (including 4K). But when testing on my MXIII Plus I see one bug. If you try to stop the video file from playing or the file reaches the end, the system freezes. Perhaps it is a feature of my particular model of TV box (lately, I've noticed various oddities in his behavior). If anyone has the opportunity, please check the work of this option and write the result.

No offense, but you guys are posting/asking/suggesting things I already mentioned in my post.

In the current version of the kernel S812 no support for the remote control.

Test LibreELEC images with KODI-18 for S9xxx

Quote from Zuma

can you rebuild dtb.img for box : Dune HD Sky plus "S905D" ?

In theory, this is possible, but there is not enough time for everything.

Quote from senzalice

If you have not run LibreElec on your M8S before, then you need to first activate multi-boot from an image written to USB (you only do this once)

To activate the multi-boot for s8xx need SD card. After a single activation, to run images , you can use any type of storage media - SD card and USB flash drive.

Quote from plikmuny

can you make a 64bit build for Odroid C2 ? I am having adamg's latest coreelec build.

I want to upgrade it to your build and test if the video stuttering problem is solved.

Specifically for the Odroid C2 I do not release the Assembly. There is a universal version for aarch64 S905.

Quote from shippy

Is it possible for you to just look at the LibreElec remote.conf and mxq repo for many such files?

It takes time and test equipment to convert these files to the new format. I don't have that right now.

Quote from shippy

2. Does installtointernal (to eMMC) eliminate remote.conf incompatibility for IR remotes with your generic S905/X/W Kodi 18alpha builds?

This data is not compatible for direct use and requires additional processing..

Quote from crazyturk

Where can I find the dtb.img file for WP2?

For WP2, you need to use a different image.

To all

Update image 20180814 (kernel 3.14).

Quote from senzalice

I have successfully installed and run your Kodi 18 (Leia) images for S812 - on an M8S OTT box (AP6330) on a USB stick.

I have tried both the MXIII_Plus and LAN_100 images and they work fine...except for the remote control.

I'm using the original remote control that came with the M8S.

I have tried a couple of "remote.conf" with no luck (from an M8 and an M8S)

Do you know of any "remote.conf" file that might work?

In the current version of the kernel S812 no support for the remote control.

This topic is for discussion of the version for S9xxx . For version s812 used another topic.

Quote from plikmuny

Hi balbes: your Version is not compatible with COreelec Version. i cannot simply update your latest development Version on Coreelec latest Version eventhough both are of 64bit Version.

These versions are not compatible, do not try to upgrade, the original system will be destroyed.

The image LE-9 with the kernel 4.18.

Nothing found — Yandex.Disk

I am looking for volunteers to test the system installation mode in eMMC. A prerequisite is the presence of the UART console connection.

Please note, this is a test version and it has a lot of mistakes. I strongly recommend not to use it for beginners.

Quote from Apollon16

Hello, Thank you for your explanation on the latest version. I just installed it. I see that my AZERTY keyboard is still not recognized as a AZERTY keyboard by LE. It's disturbing

Do you think you can solve the problem?

The LE developers are aware of this problem and are working to solve it.

All versions that I collect are designed to be written to external media and the initial launch of LE is necessarily performed from external media using universal multi-boot (the standard firmware in the eMMC remains unchanged). If after testing the LE system from an external media you are satisfied with the LE operation, you can run the installation or copying of LE to eMMC. If you select "Reboot from install eMMC", LE will replace (erase) the Android in eMMC. Choose this option only when you exactly know that you will be able to restore the TV box when it crashes. If you select "Reboot from copy to eMMC", LE will be additionally copied to eMMC and Android will be saved as it is. Please note that the copy mode works only with the new version of the universal multi-boot (which is part of the latest images). Therefore, if you have previously activated multi-boot and want to use copy mode, you need to re-activate multi-boot using the latest LE images. In case of any errors in the copy mode, you can still run regular Android. I mean if the copying is not correct, only Android will be started. But since this mode is new, there are no standard situations and you need to be ready to restore the system using a USB cable and USB Built Tool programs.

Updated version of 20180726.

In this version added a "parallel" installation Libreelec with Android in eMMC (menu off "Reboot from copy to EMMC"). In this mode of installation, Libreelec is copied to eMMC without removing Android and can be run in turn from eMMC either Android or Libreelec. Due to the fact that Android does not have a reboot mode in LE, LE always starts first, to start Android you need to select "Reboot from Android" in the menu to turn off Libreelec and the system restarts in Android. Pay attention, in the copying LE in the eMMC completely remains the whole Android system (all modes Recowery, etc.). Please note that this is only a "copy to eMMC" test, it may be errors. It is currently only tested on the regular firmware Khadas VIM1\VIM2.
