Do this and will work
Edit
OpenELEC-OPi2/packages/network/libssh/package.mk

Thanks Demetris, but I just resolved and compiled with the linked i posted before. I think is the same package

Cant we use pine64 Mali 400-MP2 driver?

I have a feeling we might be compatible as 64bit is backwards compatible with 32bits as well with maybe minor mods in driver source(included)

No, because it is at most backward compatible, not forward. I checked everything inside that tarball before and I didn't find anything that it would be useful.

Cambiar a españolCerrar pantalla completa I realized that if reproduzo a video , my opipc temperature is around 60 degrees, but if I do not reproduce anything , rises above 70. How could I help it? It is totally meaningless . I have the latest modified version to run CEC

Depends. During video playback GPU is almost unused, especially if you don't have debug info or subtitles turned on. It is known to cause additional heat. In fact, it is used in lima tester program to make additional stress on SoC to test for overheating. BTW, what is your ambient temperature?

my room temperature is 35-40 degrees Celsius . but the temperature is higher when opipc does absolutely nothing . It is illogical that is greater than when other works (plays videos) .

well, then that temperature is ok. As I said, GPU utilization plays a big role here.

Actually I can't make it cooler. I mounted big heatsink (taken from PC motherboard). Still temperature exceedes 80 °C. The only difference it takes a bit longer time to reach almost 90 °C. It overheats not while watching movies, but rather while listening music, I guess cpu usage is higher in that case. I removed top cover from case but it didn't help too much. Room temperature is ~25 °C
There is no any overheat when running Debian (not armbian, official debian image), but performance seems to be reduced.

Overall - I guess, on highest cpu usage (100% for all cores) I would burn hardware. Note that temperature reaches 90 °C and cpu usage is not higher than 25%. What will happen on 100%? Will we see some smoke? I suggest to perform some stress test (is there any for openelec?). Temperatures like this are dangerous

I continued testing temperature and I discovered something very strange . If I turn and leave opipc on the main screen without touching anything , after a few minutes the temperature rises above 70 degrees

. But if I turn and I will opipc system / Settings / System Info / Hardware and remain there, the temperature never exceeds 60 degrees
