    If anyone is still using Udoo for this purpose here is the image.
    With very limited support.
    Two known bugs:
    1) it doesn't work with some TV's (no signal)
    2) LVDS display doesn't always start(system is automaticaly restarted in this case after 30 seconds)

    (new version with fixed uEnv.txt - HDMI is set by default)

    Tried installing an booting it today.
    No success no first try with HDMI -> VGA converter.
    The USB serial connection showed the video output was LVDS15, which I do have.
    Changed the video settings in /flash/uEnv.txt to a workable setting for my (non-hd) monitor (# HDMI
    video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1920x1080M@60,if=RGB24,bpp=32) rebooted and it worked :)

    Thank for your work Peter

    Great a new "elec-build" :)
    BUT No signal for me on my Philips Television (HDMI - full hd - 1080p), not a singel signal...
    hdmi does work op openelec, the daily driver for me at the moment (Thanks VPETER).

    I've got no knowledge editing settings like the post from jdewilde,
    Anything i can do or any place to get started? I really like to get this running.
    Thanks!

    Nevermind, got it working!
    How i fixed it?
    Thinking that my Openelec installation is working fine i opened the uEnV.txt file from that installation, copied the part and it worked!
    1920X1080P resolution and a updated Kodi, i'm happy :)
    The sound is going through USB for me that works fine.
    Under here my file, i hope it helps other users.

    # enable only one video line
    # HDMI
    video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1920x1080M@60,if=RGB24,bpp=32
    # 7" LVDS
    #video=mxcfb0:dev=ldb,800x480M@60,if=RGB666,bpp=32
    # 15.6" LVDS
    #video=mxcfb0:dev=ldb,1366x768M@60,if=RGB24,bpp=32

    # make boot more quiet
    #console_arg=quiet morequiet
    # or having quiet and serial console
    console_arg=console=ttymxc0,115200 quiet morequiet
    # show messages in serial console
    #console_arg=console=ttymxc0,115200 no_console_suspend=1

    # enable ssh
    #ssh_arg=ssh

    # enable debugging (kodi debug)
    #debugging_arg=debugging

    zImage=/KERNEL
    bootfile=/KERNEL
    mmcargs=setenv bootargs "boot=/dev/mmcblk0p1 disk=/dev/mmcblk0p2 ${ssh_arg} ${console_arg} ${debugging_arg} video=${video} dmfc=3 consoleblank=0"


    p.s. I know it's 3 posts, but i think it was clearer to make a new post then to edit my post 3 times.

    THANKS FOR EVERYTHING VPETER, MY DAILY DRIVER IS UPDATED :)

    You need to build libreelec - you can't just combine different parts together :)
    At least different kernel must be used than what is included now.

    Can you share a sample to test?

    Btw: I already have Krypon working and will share image when I find some free time.

    Searched for a sample, seems to be the x264 h264 Codec (I can P.M. a uploaded example if really needed)
    Sound works good, but video playback superslowmotion.
    I already tried with all the video/audio settings.
    Remember at first i had no signal at all, "fixed it" myself (a few posts back).
    - https://www.google.nl/webhp?q=mkv+x264+slow
    - http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=167317

    For now my Openelec runs smooth and I'll wait for a update from you VPETER

    Thanks!
