  • [DONE] (7.0.3.012g) building 64bit

    kszaq

    I have often built 64bit LE using following simple recipe

    Code
    git clone https://github.com/kszaq/LibreELEC.tv.git
cd LibreELEC.tv
git checkout -b 7.0.3.012c 7.0.3.012c (or older tag)
PROJECT=S905 ARCH=aarch64 make -j13 image


    from the moment only 32bit images were available I had to do (as you kindly told)

    Code
    cp projects/S905/linux/linux.arm.conf projects/S905/linux/linux.aarch64.conf
rm projects/S905/patches/Python/*


    but, from 7.0.3.012d onward I have several issues building 64bit LE

    - for example aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc not found
    (which I hack by linking aarch64-libreelec-linux-gnueabi-xxx to aarch64-linux-gnu-xxx in build.LibreELEC-S905.aarch64-7.0-devel/toolchain/bin)

    - but eventually I run into funny errors such as in xbmc:
    [Fatal Error] classXBMCAddon_1_1xbmcgui_1_1ControlSpin.xml:58:271: XML document structures must start and end within the same entity.

    What I would like to request from you:

    Can you, moving forward, keep repository such that you check if 64bit continues to build.
    If it does build for you, then it should also for others.

    Thank you very very much for your amazing work !

    - Minor issues
    When building aarch64 7.0.3.012c on bleeding edge amd64 gentoo:
    1) native gperf-3.1 gentoo introduces compile issue for libcap-2.25
    (solved by reverting back to gperf-3.0.4)
    2) build.LibreELEC-S905.aarch64-7.0-devel/toolchain/lib/libz.so.1 is zlib 1.2.8 but gentoo is 1.2.11
    (so I linked it to /lib64/libz.so.1 instead as workaround)
    These minor build issues might appear on other distros in the future. Not sure where to report.
    I'll soon test aarch64 012c build and put it availble on gdrive (like done for 012).
    update:
    uploaded LibreELEC-S905.aarch64-7.0-devel-20170117152154-r23624-g563b61562.img.gz
    aka LibreELEC-S905.aarch64-7.0.3.012c.img.gz
    LE – Google Drive
    it works for me (except remote) and you can use it if for some reason you want 64bit LE.
    update:
    remote works too (given correct remote.conf file)

    I think I won't compile aarch64 build until the memory leak is solved. If you want to compile it yourself:

    Just curious : what is an easy way to catch 64bit memory leak evidence?
    for now is seems stable (+/- 1500MB free)
    I also have 4G swap space.

    In case someone, for some odd reason, wants 64bit image LibreELEC-S905.aarch64-7.0.3.012.img.gz, here is one:
    view?usp=sharing

    Code
    LibreELEC:~ # cat /proc/version 
Linux version 3.14.29 (gentoo@standby) (gcc version 5.3.0 (GCC) ) #1 SMP Sun Jan 8 01:11:10 CET 2017
LibreELEC:~ # cat /etc/release
S905.aarch64-7.0.3.012


    it works for me, please use it as is, ...
    All development credits, of course, go to our hero kszaq ;)
    I simply built using standard instructions and kind advice.
    PS: I think I need 64bit since I maintain a 64bit gentoo system in an LE chroot...

    Will 64-bit build continue to be supported?
    kszaq : would you mind also providing a 64-bit build?
    For my personal usage, 64-bit builds so far were excellent.

    I tried following:

    Have a nice day.

    someone can please recommend on a working DVB-T2 with libreelec for the 905x (and number build he been using)?
    i tried mygica t230c and when i tried to connect through the computer the dvb dosent appear.

    I have good results with PCTV Systems dvb_usb_af9035 module.
    I am on 7.0.3.011 build but other builds were fine as well.

    Does this support HDR

    You mean harddisk recording?
    I use tvheadend and pvr.hts and I can record dvb-t.

    1. Source code = LE buildroot, kernel code - self-explanatory.
    2. Compile - LibreELEC
    3. LE buildroot automatically downloads all packages, including kernel.

    here is a recipe I use (perhaps not perfect)

    Code
    git clone https://github.com/kszaq/LibreELEC.tv.git
cd LibreELEC.tv
git checkout -b 7.0.2.009 7.0.2.009
PROJECT=S905 ARCH=aarch64 make -j13 image
PROJECT=S905 ARCH=aarch64 make -j13 amlpkg
optional (I do not use these):
PROJECT=S905 ARCH=aarch64 ./scripts/create_addon pvr.hts
PROJECT=S905 ARCH=aarch64 ./scripts/create_addon tvheadend

    Hello all!

    I have Gigabyte GT-U7200 DVB-T usb stick but it's not recognized in tvheadent in librelec. Do you know where's the exact list of supported DVB-T cards, or, if it's not supported, how can I import it in libreelec?

    Thanks in advance.

    I don't seem to quickly find any evidence that this stick is supported in linux kernel. Did you get it working on any other linux box?

  • 7.0.2.007 build for S905

    The is no gxbb_p200_1G_mxq_pro_4k.dtb for 7.0.2.008, so I thought I'd have a better chance of success with a tree that has been labelled for that particular device. What is the equivalent for mxq_pro_4k at version 7.0.2.008?

    7.0.2.008 might very well work with 7.0.2.007 gxbb_p200_1G_mxq_pro_4k.dtb
    Equivalent at version 7.0.2.008, I would guess one of
    gxbb_p200_1G_100M.dtb
    gxbb_p200_1G_100M_RealtekWiFi.dtb
    gxbb_p200_1G_1Gbit.dtb
    gxbb_p200_1G_1Gbit_RealtekWiFi.dtb
    depending on if you have 100M or 1G ethernet, and, depending on if you have RealtekWiFi or not.

    HI,

    I try LE on a NexBox MXQPRO 4k.
    I put the last dev on SD and gxbb_p200_1G_100M.dtb from 008 (as dtb.img of course).
    LE boots correctly but after a while of streaming a french tv replay (20 min or very quickly) KODI freeze with continuous sound or just black screen.
    I also tried 007, 008, realtek dtb... and others and same result.

    Thanks

    I wonder if it could help to have, say, 2GB swap space partition on SD.
