Since version 9.2.4 CoreELEC supports the Libre Computer La Frite SBC.

Getting started using CoreELEC on this device is easy though a little different then with other supported devices.

It’s important to make sure you are using the latest firmware on your La Frite board.
Firmware updates can be found at the link below. be sure to read the readme.txt file for instruction on how to complete this step.

Installation Methods.

1. CoreELEC can be installed on your La Frite using the Libre Computer OS Tool (LOST), which is part of the La Frite’s firmware.

2. The CoreELEC La Frite image can be burned to a USB drive.

Hi. Please add support for 512 mb version of that board if possible. Or give me some suggestion what to change in code for lower memory requirements , I have some builds based on LE master for 512 mb but can’t figure what to change in CE code for 512 mb board, In LE based build only lowering CMA parametr is needed for that /from =256 to =128
