Khadas Edge - LibreELEC

Edge
8

DRIVER_ADDONS_SUPPORT=“yes” in my build
I just didn’t add crazycat since it couldn’t build.
This is based on the older 4.4 kernel, not LibreELEC master based on the 5.x kernel where most things aren’t working yet.

@mo123 Perfect I thought you were using the master branch!
I tried to activate manually and I get construction errors.
Thank you.

Hi
I used Libreelec image from Libreelec web, it works only from SD and i have noticied audio delay in all videos (local an online), and very low SD speed.

Does this build has same problem?

11

hello, everything is stable in this sense, I personally checked :slightly_smiling_face:
all Libreelec assemblies boot from sd, fact

New LibreELEC build
https://mega.nz/file/AmpBgbyR#eR1fISfGG9sbr-C7yhkp1bq5RpJ3eGo697cuqIdnHUo

Please check if it boots correctly and if audio works correctly since there are new ALSA audio patches.

RC control not works

14

To be honest, the stock remote is not the best solution for TV boxes, but maybe someone else needs an IR remote.
the radio-controlled remote control is much more convenient!

It looks cheerful on eMMC, of ​​course, the most important thing is whether Rockchip can handle 4K / 60fps, is it very finicky in this sense… I’ll let you know! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

See you later

Well, 4k60 works, but otherwise the same issues as always:

  • wired ethernet not working (what is the problem?)
  • fan not working (never mind, it’s noisy anyway)
  • terrible audio issues with Dolby Digital pass-through

So, back to the RPi4 as a working Kodi device (at least at FullHD). And back to the drawer with the Edge… :frowning:

19

may be only for u :wink: ?

for me wired etherned works

terrible audio issues with Dolby Digital pass-through

yes something broken - your right
but same not really needed :wink:

20

Maybe. I don’t know. It does not get configured by DHCP and I have not tested manual configuration. Other distributions “just work”. (And some other LibreELEC images too.)

Unfortunately, the sound is the crucial factor for me. I do not insist on 4k at the moment, but I do insist on surround sound. That is what I need now.

21

Hi, what assembly are you referring to? There are three of them))

I suggest leaving the assembly from mo123 and implementing it for all RK3399 configurations from Khadas!

:slightly_smiling_face:

22

With “assembly”, you mean the available LibreELEC builds? I have tested and reported in the other thread (LibreELEC for Khadas EDGE (RK3399)). The images from @balbes150 worked (mostly) well with wired ethernet and some also with the (rather noisy) Khadas fan, but there was no support for 4k. The sound (and video) issues varied a lot. I had probably best experience with the January build as I have reported: no issues with scrambled noise and seemingly smooth playback even with the most problematic videos, but still occasional audio drop-outs. But I am afraid the dropouts may have lead to lost audio/video synchronization too, after some time - I have not tested everything thoroughly.

23

LibreElec is using mainline kernel so currently you won’t be able to get 4k support on it yet.

@balbes150 used to maintain it but he doesn’t maintain it anymore so the only person who maintains it is @mo123 unless khadas team plans to maintain it themself

24

Your information is not entirely correct, the LE project is working, you can verify this on the official website, there is also a stable version for Edge on Kodi 18.9 with the old kernel, it is quite working, in parallel, LE Nightly is working on the new kernel, Kodi19 (Beta).
