LibreELEC for RK3229/RK322x

[mo123]

User knaerzche from LibreELEC made some interesting LibreELEC images for old RK3229/RK322x devices.

"Maybe you bought a RK3229-Device some years ago and thought: Oh what a buggy Chinese grab ... and tosted it into trash ... but wait: maybe you didn't ... just look for it in the boxroom, storeroom your wherever you put stuff you 'maybe need later' ... Since current Rockchip 4.4-Kernel supports it I added support to current LE-9.2 branch - it works nice - so why not publishing it:"

Main differences to current LE-9.2 tree:
- use of recent RK-4.4-Kernel
- use of latest rkmpp
- added support for MPEG4-Hardware decoding (not sure, why it wasn't added before)
- Support for SSV6051-Wifi module

"If your devices isn't listed you could try the one for V88Mars - it has DDR2 RAM and no ddr-timing configuration (and is therefore very slow) ... which is the main difference between the different device trees."


If you still have a RK3229 or RK3228(uses nand storage, weaker than RK3229) then please post your dmesg so he can see what wifi chip your device is using if it's not working.
Also provide feedback if your device isn't listed and one of the other images are working for you.
The more feedback the better to perhaps add support for your device if it's possible.

With the crisis and extra time on hand have receently dusted off a couple of old v88s
Thought i would give this a try

Testing LibreELEC RK 322X.arm-9.2-devel 2020-03-01

Plastic case reads as V884
Board reads as

MX4N-V02 2016-06-27 8G/1G ZXD 2016-11-7 SV6051P sdtnsgama-008gm

The following 4 images all boot successfully with same results!!!!

v884k.img
ult
hk1mini.img
mxq4kpro.img

No preconfigured RC Keymaps
You will lose remote control function most likely,use air mouse,mini wireless keyboard,etc...its all good.

Ethernet and wifi all good, most impressed with Resolution Display Option in Whitelist for 4K TV
720P, 1080P playback all good,did not test if its true 1080P or upscaled like factory/stock firmware.
It looked like it was clearer Lol,did not test 4K playback,did not test pvr add on.

If you have no Audio dont panic like i did,go to settings look for Audio output device and select yours
Default settings read as, are for ALSA- default (Rockchip,rk3229 analog),
Look for ALSA -HDMI,SAMSAMSUNG on HDMI * I have samsung tv yours may read different.
After that all was good * I allowed passthrough but that doesnt seem to matter.

So far so good,still want to test 4k playback,usb playback,mess around with audio settings,etc...
Iam familiar with openelec,coreelec,alexelec,libreelec, so iam used to issues with remote control,power down,sleep mode,clock display,device tree blob.....etc.etc...but dont let that deter you if you have an old box and want to test.
lots of help here at home Freak Tab

Happy Testing

Maybe someone is deeper in relating Libre- or Coreelec. I have LPDDR device RK3228A, Mouser wifi. Any suggestion?
