It doesn’t looking good and can really be a hardware issue. But currently I don’t trust this kernel revision to 100%. I don’t want to advertise LibreELEC, but it’s a known working environment for this.
Please can you prepare a SD card with LE 12 nightly or beta and check if the I2C is working there?
Attention: Don’t use the argon1.sh script, please add this lines manually:
max_usb_current=1
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
to the config.txt. The boot partition is read only in LE and must re-mount with rw to get the config.txt writeable.
Do you know, that you can update the firmware of MCU inside the case? I don’t know if the case was delivered with a firmware bug. But how knows…? This could be the last chance if LE 12 doesn’t work too.
I’am not familar with this update procedure. It could be normal, as far the MCU has detected this file that it starts immediately with firmware flashing. Only a assumption of me. That can only be answered by someone who knows the details or has used this in the past.
Installed rpi 32bit os did the same procedure and same result. (clean install)
Kinda strange if the fan spins at selftest…(firmware procedure) the board should be ok.
Any ideas left? I tried libreelec but its kinda a hassle with ssh, no tools etc.
