Status of WandBoard support + fixing it

Libretro Lakka
#1

Hi,

I noticed that Lakka stopped being built for WandBoard Quad and is not available for download on such board.

I tried to compile Lakka distribution for WandBoard and it eventually succeeded after removing the WiFi chip firmware from being integrated in the distribution. Then I created an SDcard and tried to boot, but the generated image is configured with the wrong name for the .dtb file, so no go. Then I renamed the .dtb filename to match the configuration file set for U-Boot, but now WandBoard got stuck again when starting the Kernel.

I would like to help getting a working Lakka for WandBoard Quad. How can I help?

Best regards, Luís

Hello Luis,

We’re working on porting Lakka to LibreELEC, which have community support for Wandboard.

Can you give a try to this repo? https://github.com/lakkatv/Lakka-LibreELEC

Hi Kivutar,

I have looked in the projects folder of the Lakka-LibreELEC github and I don’t see any project for the WandBoard. Should I try to use the imx6 project? I think imx6 project is only targeted for UDoo and Matrix boards, I compared the project between the Lakka-OpenELEC and Lakka-LibreELEC and I don’t see any additional support for WandBoard. Lakka-OpenELEC has a specific Wandboard project, or am I missing something?

Hi Kivutar,

Currently Lakka downloads all the sources from servers directly. I could try Lakka-LibreELEC, but for that I would need to build a custom kernel, to test U-boot and LibreELEC on Wandboard. I would need to make my own Wandboard project structure. Is there a way to do this without having to use online servers to download the sources? Is there a way to redirect to a local file?
