    Thanks @vpeter. Any changes we should be aware of, or is this only the Kodi 14.0 release?

    I've tested this build yesterday, and it passed my basic tests (720p / 1080p videos ripped from youtube, read from dlna and smb shares), sound and video ok

    next step is trying to scrape a medium-to-large collection (movies/tvshows/music), maybe at the end of the week

    thanks alot for your work !

    Currently udoo is not yet supported (and others also not). When my changes for imx6 project will be merged I will also update for udoo.

    Hi Vpeter,

    Just a question, have you ever tried to boot on SATA with your OpenElec distribution.
    I write your image on a SATA hard disk but i 'm able to boot on it (of courses using a SD card looking for a boot in sda)

    best regards,

    No. Doesn't have any spare disk.

    From what I see SATA is enabled in u-boot. I think you just need to set correct boot=/disk=. Same as you would use USB stick (on RPi - check openelec forum).

    Thank you very much, i replaced mmcbl0p1 with sda1 and mmcblk0p2 by sda2 and it worked like a charm on SATA boot.

    The problem now i'm meeting is the speed transfert with Rsync.
    That is something strange, i tried to Rsync with a remote server, on my X86 computer i have something la 8 to 10 MB/sec.
    With udoo i have only 700 kB/sec (or less).

    I tried the top command during transfert the CPU is not overloaded (only 7-9 % usage), more than 600 MB of ram is free
    If i do a local transfert inside my LAN using samba i reached 10 MB/sec which is my LAN maximum speed so it is not also a I/O hard disk speed problem.

    I can't get it why i got very slow transfert speed with Rsync. Any thought about that ?

    Best regards,

    No though. I didn't done any network testing. Try to copy locally between hdd and usb stick for example.

    All local copy are OK.

    The problem is when i want to retrive data over the internet.
    I just used a wget command to try to download a file in a high speed server i also i can't go over 700 Kbits.

    If you have a high speed connection could you try a wget command to see if your are also limited in download speed ?

    Testing locally between udoo and web server on Windows over 100 mbit network:

    Code:
    OpenELEC:~/downnloads # dmesg | grep udoo
    [    1.071970] udoo_power_off_probe: pm_power_off function already registered, overwriting with ours
    [    1.072130] udoo_power_off_probe: ok
    OpenELEC:~/downnloads # curl -o test http://10.0.0.2:8000/test
      % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                     Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
    100  103M  100  103M    0     0  9584k      0  0:00:11  0:00:11 --:--:-- 8670k
    Speed was almost 10MB/s. No problem on my board. Of course using cable - not with WiFi.
