ODroid XU4 and RetroPie
-
@nadenislamarre I have corrected my post. Sorry for this mistake ;)
-
@nadenislamarre We don't package Kodi ourselves (I don't have the time). I believe there are some 3rd party repositories with Kodi for the odroid though.
-
@herb_fargus I have added the instructions for XU4 to the wiki. Please review.
-
@krujak23 Thanks for doing that.
-
@krujak23 I don't have an XU4 so I'll take your word for it. I'll check over the formatting when I get some free time and I'll update the docs accordingly. Thanks
-
I have a XU4 and would love to test this baby out!! Been waiting for the longest for a Retropie build to come out for XU4 nothing compares to it!
-
@sketch2k278 there won't ever be an image for it, you'll have to use the guide on the wiki to build it yourself.
Also I can think of something better. My PC ;)
-
@herb_fargus PC would always be better lol I just don't like sitting at a pc just to play games, it's a shame that it will not be an image for this, im not really good with linux sadly :-(
-
@sketch2k278 I had never touched Linux before retropie. No time like the present! Otherwise you can use lakka. Basically the same thing
-
@krujak23 After the command sudo systemctl restart getty@tty1 i have a black screen and the Step 12 cant resolve.
-
@cadsj I have changed the step no 10 from:
[Service] ExecStart= ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty -a odroid --noclear %I $TERM
to:
[Service] ExecStart= ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty -a NameOfYourChoice --noclear %I $TERM
Try now!
-
@krujak23 Problem solved with this change i suggest update the installation page and remove...
Finally, run bootini and reboot:
bootini
sudo rebootrun bootini doesn't work, i just reboot and continue the tutorial.
-
In the end, i get these messages.
Error Initializing SDL:
mali-fbdev. Could not open framebuffer device
Renderer failed to initialize!
Window failed to initialize!this is happen on boot, after finish the tutorial.
-
@cadsj I have taken the "Finally, run bootini and reboot bootini sudo reboot..." from the C2 guide. You are welcome to edit the XU4 guide by yourself.
I did not have any problems running the RetroPie on my xu4. I will check the problems with mali-fbdev over the weekend...
-
@cadsj Which version of the minimal Ubuntu image did you install? I have worked withe XU3 version from 2016 (ubuntu-16.04-minimal-odroid-xu3-20160706) and I have seen that Hardkernel has uploaded few days a go a newer version (ubuntu-16.04.2-minimal-odroid-xu4-20170516).
-
@krujak23 i used ubuntu-16.04-minimal-odroid-xu3-20160706.img
-
The step 11, edit boot.ini, i edit with nano.
that's correct?
set FDT address
fdt addr 0x44000000
if test "${cecenable}" = "false"; then fdt rm /cec@101B0000; fi
if test "${disable_vu7}" = "false"; then setenv hid_quirks "usbhid.quirks=0x0ee$final boot args
setenv RetroPie "no_console_suspend consoleblank=0"
setenv bootargs "${RetroPie} ${bootrootfs} ${videoconfig} smsc95xx.macaddr=${ma$ -
@cadsj Did you login before the step no. 12 as new created user?
I have successfully compiled RetroPie based on the xu4 guide. This time I have used the newest Ubuntu minimal image.
I will add tomorrow to the xu4 guide the content of boot.ini.
-
@krujak23 Today, I managed to compile, the difference was precisely to carry out the procedures logged on the user who was created, however, another problem arose. The emulationstation, it is functioning with locks on the screen, and when performing some ROM, the performance is the same of the emulationstation, as if the video driver was not installed/active.
-
@cadsj I have updated the xu4 wiki. Regarding the RetroPie issues contact the developers. I am just a regular user :)
