It’s my understanding that I need to burn the img.gz file to an SD card correct? Can I do this with the LibreElec SD creator or should I use some other tool?
Also, I’m wondering what the tar file is used for?
I plan on using this device for streaming 1080p on Kodi mainly. Does it perform that well right now. I didn’t enough research I guess because I wasn’t aware it was so new in development.
Thanks for any help!
Please refer to the wiki NOOB section for detailed explanation on how to flash images - this image flashes like any other.
Thank you for the link that will help a lot with the flashing process. I’m still curious to know what the TAR file is for and how well the rock64 streams on Kodi if anybody has any input on that.
The TAR file is for updates. You only need to flash the img ones. After that you can just place the tar in /storage/.update and reboot. LibreELEC will upgrade or downgrade to my latest or previous version.
