    Hi and thanks for this build. It working very well. However I have a problem with the Arduino. It stops as soon as the linux kernel is booting. I tried to understand what is going on but I did not get very far. How can I get the Arduino working?

    No idea. My intension was only to run Openelec. Don't know how Arduino actually works on this board so any tips would be useful to fix this issue.

    Shevonar, when does Arduino starts running? immediately after connecting power or little later? And stops when Openelec starts?

    Would it helps if Arduino would start again after Openelec starts?

    Hi vpeter

    I m really enjoying your openelec version, it really really nice.

    I looked on my transfert speed problem.
    When I do LAN transfert the speed is clearly OK.
    But when I download over the internet I got low speed with the udoo wherase it is fast on my x86 computer (download from the same server).

    Interesting fact the problems disepears when I use WiFi connection instead of Eth0 connection. That is the crazy thing.
    For a download from the same server on the udoo I got 5 MB/sec with WiFi and only 1.5 using Ethernet connection.

    The problem is not only on your openelec image, I got the same problems with udoobuntu for example.

    So something is wrong and might be related to drivers or kernel.

    I wrote a topic on the troubleshooting forum but I didn't get any response.
    Since you re the more reliable and competent user here I wanted to know your comment about this strange speed problem.

    Best regards

    The Arduino starts when power is connected and stopped as soon as the Kernel started. Restarting the Arduino was an idea that i also tried. The problem was that the gpio pin 0 which is connected to the Arduino reset pin was occupied by the "pureg dummy" driver. I disabled this drive in the Kernel by commenting the specific lines in /arch/arm/mach-imx/gpc.c . Once this driver was gone, the Arduino was no longer stopped. I don't think this is a correct solution, but it is working for me now.

    Hi all,
    I'm using OpenELEC from a couple of weeks and i want to thank vpeter for this fantastic image.
    I'm quite inexperienced and I want to know if there is a way to use the SD card free space.
    If I try to create from my linux PC a FAT32 partition the system stops during accension and says it cant't find \tty.

    SD card should be resized on first boot automatically.

    To expand the system to use all of the space on your SD card, SSH to the Udoo and run the following commands:
    Code:
    touch /storage/.please_resize_me
    reboot
    Second partition should be resized and took whole available space.

    Copy new splash image named oemsplash.png somewhere to /storage. Like in downloads folder. Then copy it to /flash folder in ssh console:
    Code:
    mount -o rw,remount /flash
    cp /storage/downloads/oemsplash.png /flash/oemsplash.png
    sync
    mount -o ro,remount /flash
    After reboot you should see new image.

    Hi vpeter

    I m using more and more jour image.

    The only bug I found is the audio. It is hard to reproduce but somtimes I got video without sound I need to stop and reopen the video to get sound working (without rebooting the hole system)
    One time I had also metallic audio of the sound of the material.
    One other time I got noise during a video for few minutes and then OK.

    This is not major but there is small bugs in the audio.
    However the image is really great.

    Hi, it's not working.
    It is a special format/dimension?

    Should work. Was there any image before? Is it now? Was it changed or still same file?

    What you see with
    Code:
    ls -al /flash
    md5sum /flash/oemsplash.png
    The image is something like https://github.com/OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv ... splash.png

    Because openelec has read-only system you need to put new kodi splash as /storage/.kodi/media/Splash.png.
