So that leaves four AMLogic S9xx choices at this current point in time if you want AMLogic Linux LibreELEC support for Kodi v19 M:
 

1. Gigabit Ethernet S905D devices like the Vero 4K+ or other S905D devices.
   
   
2. Or if you do not need HDR support, the ODROID C2, the fastest S9xx AMLogic device for running CoreELEC Leia from eMMC - when overclocked - yes I've been testing !
   
   
3. Cheap S905W / S905X devices and then add an ASIX or Realtek Chipset USB3 > Gigabit Ethernet adapter if needed.
   
   
4. Gigabit Ethernet S912 devices and then take the gamble that in a years time open source Mali T8xx GPU drivers, that are currently being coded are finished in time for Kodi v19 M.
   

 

One point @wrxtasy - is it that the C2 (and other S905) boxes don't support HDR output, or that they don't support HDR AND/OR Rec 2020 output (correctly flagged) and instead they only support SDR Rec 709.  SDR Rec 2020 support is the difference between just not supporting HDR, and only supporting Rec 709.

So rather than just not supporting EOTF flagging (required to flag HDR EOTFs like ST.2084 or HLG) and 10-bit output (required for good quality HDR), they also don't support any gamut flag other then Rec 709 (*) and don't support SDR Rec 2020 output?

(*) Rec 601 (which is pretty much identical gamut to Rec 709 but different colour space as the YCbCr->RGB matrices are different) may I guess be supported for SD 480i/p and 576i/p outputs?
