Not being able to use the original hardware version with Apple PSUs isn't really a big obstacle. All the cheap(er) PSUs/cables that are advertised for RPi4 use will be fine with it - and the Pi Foundation already started shipping revised hardware that fixes the problem a couple of months ago (released silently to avoid inventory issues) so if you're buying from one of the tier one resellers it's unlikely you'll receive the old version now. RPi4 firmware already started to drop temperatures a little by adding power efficiency - but the gains from that direction will be small and will come slowly over time. Some kind of cooling is mandatory - and for an HTPC use-case the best thing to do is get a case that acts as a heatsink. I'm using the Kodi flirc case and the device runs around 50ºC in a closed and poorly ventilated space. It would be niceer if it ran at 35ºC .. but it's not running at 75ºC like it was in bare-board state in the week after launch. The flirc case is a nice looking case too.

This has nothing to do with LE so I suggest you post in an Android oriented forum.

No replies .. apart from the person who replied. Google will yield better results than cross posting.

Hello, could you provide the source data to building the 9082xs.ko kernel module for Ubuntu (Debian)?
The company that released the module will only provide a pre-built module. We assume this is because a) they ripped off someone else's chip design and sharing the source code will make that rather obvious, b) the source code reveals the chip is crap, c) a + b .. so no sources exist.

The RPi4 codebase has no support for HD formats at this time. If anything works it's accidental and not by design. Adjust expectations accordingly..

The archive is hosted on a team members server. For some reason it's offline and he's not contactable at the moment (could be related). I'm not aware of any other archives. The other way to get a 9.0.1 image is to self-build it.

Nobody on staff is interested in supported emmc installs on box devices; primarily because it's a pain in the arse to guide users through the install process, and then because history has proven that subset of boxes and users to be a time consuming pain in the arse to support.
You have a working SD card install. That sounds like a good direction.

SMB browse still works fine .. but as designed, and it's designed (by Microsoft) around SMB1 networks and these days everyone is running SMB2+ which doesn't support browsing.

LE images are not "ROM" images for flashing the internal storage of boxes. Create an SD card and boot the card. No guarantees it will work on all devices .. it's all about the device-tree file.

Enable AirPlay in Kodi?

Bad PSU, Bad SD Card, User not waiting until things actually shut down?
There is no general "reboot issue" with the RPi4 image so it's something local.

We already have a USB/SD Creator app for Windows on our website and we distribute a simple .img file that can be restored to a USB/SD card using a dozen or so different tools that require no integration or effort. We have no plan to ship an .iso image which is what that tool appears to want.

Reboot and things should be present now, someone forgot to create some aliases on the webserver (RK3399 uses the Tinkerboard addons).

What OS are you using to build with (distro and version) ?
