Few days ago I blogged about the KODI build scripts for A20 and A64 OLinuXino ad promised pre-build images on our server. This is now done and the images can be downloaded from our ftp for A64 and A20.
A20 HDMI audio currently do not work, but Dimitar and Stefan work on this and they say this will be fixed soon. So crossing fingers we may have good news for Christmas!
A20 and A64 OLinuXino now with Libre Elec and Kodi support!

LibreELEC is small OS which has everything to run KODI on top of it. Thanks to Dimitar Gamishev and Stefan Saraev now A20 and A64 OLinuXino has support for it.
A20 has one annoying problem there is no HDMI audio as listed in Linux-Sunxi mainlining efforts.
If someone is capable to do this and have time to spend would be great, as it seems nobody cares to use A20 as media player 🙂
On A64 everything works and HDMI has audio as well.
so KODI is running full featured:
Both A20 and A64 decode up to 4K movies but of course can’t display such resolutions.
Build scripts are on GitHub. Images will be add to our FTP.
A64-OLinuXino got mainline Linux Kernel 5.0 images

Linux kernel 5.0 was just released and as we were working this week to the release of mainline Linux image for A64-OLinuXino (as till now it has the ugly android based 3.10 kernel) we decided to release latest kernel.
The images are available on our FTP.
There are two images Debian headless or Ubuntu desktop.
Known issues with these images:
- LCDs are not supported yet, HDMI output is only available, we need one more week to figure out how to automatically detect if the Ethernet or LCD are enabled (there is jumper on the board which switch between LCD or Ethernet as both share pins and can’t work together). So to make the DTS configurations automatic at boot time.
- eMMC do not work in the fastest possible mode yet. We need some time, right now 50MB/s is the max speed to read write instead of 100-200MB/s which the installed eMMC supports, we will update the image soon with HS200/400 modes enabled.
- No CPU thermal. A64 has 3 thermal zones – CPU, GPU0 and GPU1. The driver doesn’t support monitoring them.
How to build the images is explained here.
Mainline Linux Kernel 5.0 images for A13, A20 and A33 OLinuXino and SOMs is in progress.
A20-SOM204 and SOM204-EVB preliminary info is uploaded on our web

SOM204 is SODIMM form factor System-On-Module we are working for a while (actually from so long time ago that SOM204-EVB platform is made in Eagle which we dropped to use officially from quite some time ago).
The SODIMM connector has these signals:
- Power supply: +5V, GND, LiPobattery, RTC_backup, Stepup-Output, Stepup-enable, USB+5V
- Interfaces: Gigabit Ethernet, Megabit Ethernet, CAN, SATA, PCIe, USB2.0 HOST x2, USB-OTG, USB3.0 HOST, HSIC, UARTx3, SPIx2, I2Cx2, CSI, microSD, GPIOs with interrupts,
- Display: HDMI, VGA
- Audio: SPDIF, Line-in/out, Microphone, Headphone.
You can see complete SOM204 platform signals here.
The idea behind SOM204 is to make Universal interchangeable SOM with different performance and resources.
Our first SOM204 module is with A20 processor, it’s now in production and will be available for purchase next week.
The second SOM204 module is with A64, the third is with RK3328 which we expect to be ready for production around June. Next to follow is AM335X which will be ready by end of the year together with RK3399. The goal is to have 5 different modules by the end of the year.
A20-SOM204 comes with 1GB RAM, optional SPI Flash or eMMC Flash up to 64GB, two native Ethernets (this is the only A20 board with dual native Ethernets) Gigabit and Megabit, SATA and so on. The USB3.0 interface and PICe interfaces are not wired. On top on SOM204 platform LCD and additional GPIOs are exposed on FPC connectors:
The A20-SOM204 schematic is here.
A20-SOM204-EVB is evaluatuon board with A20-SOM204
A20-SOM204 software is Armbian with mainline kernel and support for all SOM peripherials.
