OpenELEC_Helix (Milhouse) - Version: devel-20140710042431-r18700-g9530195

Based on tip of OpenELEC master (9530195, changelog) and tip of XBMC master (af67986, changelog) with the following modifications:

• Includes newclock3 patches
  
• Excludes the OpenELEC fernetmenta patches due to conflicts with newclock3
  
• Excludes the OpenELEC linux-01-RPi_support patch in favour of sourcing these and possibly more recent patches directly from kernel branch rpi-3.15.y
  
• Excludes the OpenELEC xbmc-master-newclock3 patch in favour of sourcing these and possibly more recent patches directly from newclock3 branch
  
• Default setting for "Show RSS Feed" changed to disabled
  
• Disabled "Total Duration" in Confluence (see build #0221 for details)
  
• ALSA is enabled and any suitable hardware should be available in XBMC Audio Settings
  
• FIQ FSM is enabled by default. See initial post for more details.
  
• Includes RPi-specific libCEC commits from mk01/libcec. See build #0527 for details. Also double-key suppression.
  
• Increase scan interval of PeripBusCEC from 5000 to 60000, reducing CPU loading by about 2% (1GHz Pi) every 5 seconds (even when CEC is "disabled")
  
• Includes libnfs master 1.9.4 with directory caching and file read-ahead support
  
• Enable zram with LZ4 compression as a kernel module. See guide. See post #605 for config patch.
  

Build Highlights:

New kernel 3.15.5 (slightly in advance of upstream). BCM2708_DT is not enabled in linux.arm.conf.

<cachemembuffersize> is set to 0 in the system-wide advancedsettings.xml. A value of zero will result in <cachemembuffersize> defaulting to 20MB when 256MB or more ARM memory is available, and to only 2MB when less than 256MB ARM memory is available. If you have specified an alternative non-zero value for <cachemembuffersize> in your own advancedsettings.xml, your own value will be used instead.
