I started working on this redesign of display driver, but it's slow process, since I work on it only in my spare time. However, good thing is that redesign will also solve years old issues for existing devices like occasional glitches, especially during start or end of playback.
Thank you for the good news. We will be waiting for your updates.
Display MoreGood evening.
Ever since I received my first "mini SBC board" (Raxda Zero 3W), I've been amazed at how much can fit into such a small space.Thanks to, or because of that, I decided to go for another one with similar features, this time it's an Orange Pi Zero3 that continues to impress me with how minimalist it is.
After reading and rereading the forum, I saw that there were images created for the H618, and I decided to give it a try. I found the download link (https://jernej.libreelec.tv/test/h616-h618/) and started testing.
So far, everything is fine and everything works very well, except for a few things like the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, which I don't really care about for what I'm going to do with it.
But I did notice that the sound isn't working (you also mention this in a post), and it's a shame because you can't test the sound. Another thing that doesn't work is the small card that fits into it, which has two ports usb, one 3.5mm audio port and one IR port.
Is there any way to fix this or is the project stopped?

Hi jernej
We really need this project to continue. There is a bunch of h616/h618 devices (tv boxes) out there that are still waiting for official support.
Thank you!
I'm not seeing anything in Armbian patches.

Hi Chewitt, do you think these patches from warpme are useful?
I'm no expert on Allwinner hardware, but I had a quick look at the device-trees in the Linux 6.17 kernel source, our current Allwinner patchset, and kernel mailing lists (for new patches) and I see no evidence of HDMI support for the H616 or H618 chips existing. This means you will see boot screens due to framebuffer support in the kernel, but there's no HDMI (DRM) driver, so Kodi cannot run.
If you add 'ssh' to boot params in extlinux.conf the SSH daemon is forced to start and you can login, but you'll only see kodi.log messages about there being no DRM surface or gem object to render to.
Thank you for your response.
I will take a look at the patches from armbian for new kernel version.
I will update here if there is any success.
Hi, I have managed to build a LE12.0 image for Vontar H618 board.
The box booted, but couldn't start the kodi service.
Can someone please let me know what the problem is? I couldn't log in with ssh so I don't know detailed error log.
Thank you so much!
