1. Build references
   
   When reporting issues, refer to builds using only the published build codes, ie. #0215, #0216 etc. The build code is visible on the boot screen, and by typing "lsb_release".
   
   Do NOT use any other reference, as these are often meaningless. For instance, the OpenELEC github revision identifier, 20272, 20281 etc. can be used by more than one build if nothing changes in OpenELEC between successive builds meaning such references could identify multiple builds, rendering it useless as a unique reference.
   
   Anyone using the wrong reference will be ignored by me, possibly others, as I'm just not interested in working out which build you may or may not be referring to.
   

   ---

2. Usage information
   
   Starting with build #0529, very limited usage information will be collected during the first boot of each newly installed build. The information collected is: build#, Pi memory size (256MB, 512MB or 1008MB) and maximum ARM frequency. No IP or personal information is collected!
   
   If you wish to opt out of data collection, run the following command:
   
   Code:

   touch /storage/.config/milhouse.dnt
   The purpose of this data collection is really just to get an idea of how much testing is being carried out and on what hardware, and would otherwise be achieved via non-opt out server logs if such logs were available (which they're not).

3. Migrating OpenELEC from Pi1 to Pi2, and back again
   
   Note: Prior to migration I would recommend disabling all overclocks, as a Pi1 overclock may not work successfully on a Pi2, and vice versa.
   
   From Pi1 to Pi2: While using the Pi1, upgrade with the RPi2 tar. Once the upgrade is complete, the system will reboot to a rainbow boot screen (as you're now booting the ARMv7 kernel). Shutdown (pull the power) and transfer the SD card into your Pi2, which will boot normally.
   
   From Pi2 to Pi1: While using the Pi2, upgrade with the RPi tar. Once the upgrade is complete, the system will reboot to a rainbow boot screen (as you're now using the ARMv6 kernel). Shutdown (pull the power) and transfer the SD card into your Pi1, which will boot normally.

4. Builds since early Dec 2014 include crashlog support
   
   In the event of a crash, the file /storage/.kodi/temp/kodi_crashlog will be created. Upload this file to a paste site and post details on the forum.
   
   Debug builds are occasionally uploaded to the debug folder. Debug builds will usually include more detailed crashlog information, but require a larger System partition (at least 384MB) and more RAM (reduce gpu_mem to 128 or as low as you can live with while still able to reproduce the problem).

From Phil:

Download this to /flash/overlays/enable-spi-overlay.dtb
Finally, add this line into your config.txt and then reboot:

Code:

device_tree_overlay=overlays/enable-spi-overlay.dtb

That should enable the spidev devices and allow Lightberry/Hyperion to work.

(note: in the future these overlays will be built in, so this will become a little simpler)
