  • S802/S812-Libreelec images for 7/8/9

    Probably he tried it with the aml_autoscript so now it is booting from SD as it sees a kernel.img. Try it with copying the unextracted zip to the sd-card and boot the device with the toothpick method with the SD-card in the SD slot.
    BTW, Did you login as root through ssh

    @ Balbes, I just tried this image on Tronsmart S82, using the tar file, in the process of updating the file stopped, error the hardware for 802 is not compatible with 812.

    Thanks

    You have to unpack the tar file and copy the files from the target folder to the update folder of your libreelec device. Files are kernel.img, kernel.md5, system.img and system.md5. Should work for updating without the error.

    I use the LE8 sources from Demetris and used your s805_autoscript, replacing the LABEL's to LIBREELEC and LIBREELEC_DISK. I use the mkimage command as mentioned on your github page.
    I'm not at home now, I can specify this evening.

    Balbes,

    I tried different sd-card readers, different sd-cards and different ways, burning with dd, burning with etcher, etc.

    The strange thing is that your builds work on the same sd-cards with the same readers and the same burning tools. I even burned your image to sd, booted from it and upgraded it with my KERNEL and SYSTEM files. result -> 2nd partition is corrupted. Regarding me there is some setting that is wrong, at the other side its strange it doesn't happen with the usb drive.

    I'm checking my scripts and patches vs yours to see if there is something different that can explain it.

  • img for booting from SD

    Seems it just the same image, due to some reason it works with a usb stick and not with a SD-card. I tried different SD-cards with all the same result. Somebody an idea why I get a filesystem corruption error on a SD-card and with the same image on a usb stick I don't have the error and the device boots fine.

  • S802/S812-Libreelec images for 7/8/9

    Indeed, for some stupid reason it boots from usb but not from SD-card. Ona SD-card you get an error of filesystem corruption. What could be the reason of this.
    By the way, I didn't need the recovery way (didn't work on a M8S), it works with a s805_autoscript.

    So Demetris just to let you know, I booted your latest lakka build for the M8 on my M8S on a USB stick with the s805_autoscript in attachement (unzip first). It's the s805_autoscript from Balbes150 with the BOOT changed to LAKKA an DISK changed to LAKKA_DISK

  • S802/S812-Libreelec images for 7/8/9

    I'm getting a file system corrupted also on my m8s when trying to boot from SD-card. I don't know what you mean with booting into recovery and then reboot from usb. Did you burn the image to usb or copy the img file to usb. In the last case, I think you already installed it on your internal nand.
    I'm compiling the sources now myself with the S805_autoscript build in and the dtb file for my box, see if it works then.

  • img for booting from SD

    I have a question about amlogic images for booting from SD. Is the image different then those to flash your firmware.

    I tried to boot a regular image (for flashing) from SD, so not the sd-images from Kszaq or Balbes150. I get the kernel booting, but then it complaints about the the fact the 2nd partition is corrupted and it needs to do a chkfs, what doesn't work as the filesystem is read only. I tried with different sd cards even a new one and it's all the same. My filesystem is fat16 for the BOOT partition and ext4 for the DISK partition. If I do the md5sum check, the md5sum is correct.

    I checked Balbes sources on github and don't see any differences in the mkimage script, or it should be another script that I don't know. I build the sources using 'make amlpkg', or should I use 'make image'? According me it shouldn't be different or does it?

    My s805_autoscript works as if I leave the disk=LABEL=DISK away, the kernel boots and then complaints about not finding the 2nd partition. With the disk=LABEL=DISK, it does find the 2nd partition (mmvblk0p2) and complaints about the fact the filesystem is corrupted.

    The only thing I assume can be the problem is the fact I copy the s805_autoscript to the sd-card after burning the image to it.

    Found that hdmi port was my issue, i will resolder the pins and continue
    Edit:Fixed!
    roel
    only thing left to push is a kodi upgrade

    Sorry, I was talking about the Lakka sources. Are these up to date an github?

    Edit: Nevermind, found them here: GitHub - libretro/Lakka-LibreELEC: Lakka is a lightweight Linux distribution that transforms a small computer into a full blown game console.
    I see You named the labels to LAKKA and LAKKA_DISK, assuming you are Ntemis. Big thanks for that, I'm already downloading.

    I have some bad news. My S802 has some issues with outputing video out from hdmi. So now am left with a bootable device with no video out and looks like is a hardware issue.

    Did it overheat? According me, these boxes need extra cooling if you use it to play games. My OPI-one with self made passive cooler stay's around 40° when playing games with Lakka.

    Can you still ssh into the device?

  • S802/S812-Libreelec images for 7/8/9

    Demetris,

    is it possible to change your FAT_VOL_ID in the mkimage script for Lakka to LAKKA and ad EXT_VOL_ID and label it to disk and add it to the tune2fs command when creating partition 2?

    FAT_VOLUME_LABEL="LAKKA"
    EXT_VOLUME_LABEL="DISK"

    &

    # create filesystem on part2
    echo "image: creating filesystem on part2..."
    mke2fs -F -q -t ext4 -m 0 "$OE_TMP/part2.ext4"
    tune2fs -L "$EXT_VOL_LABEL" -U $UUID_STORAGE "$OE_TMP/part2.ext4" >"$SAVE_ERROR" 2>&1 || show_error
    e2fsck -n "$OE_TMP/part2.ext4" >"$SAVE_ERROR" 2>&1 || show_error
    sync

    If it is not possible, then I will buid it myself with these changes, so I can run it from SD-card. But I think it's interesting for others also to run from SD.

    BTW, or You still on openelec or is it already along time ago You updated your sources on github?

    Thanks
