Dual boot Kodi & Lakka through PINN Lite

Thu May 11, 2017 10:35 pm

Hey guys,

I'd like to dual boot Kodi and Lakka,

I'm following this http://www.matthuisman.nz/2016/08/lakka ... mages.html
and it says to use PINN Lite.

My question is, Can i use PINN Lite to install Raspbian + LibreELEC and then
use a Lakka image someone else made, and access it via USB or through other means, in order to install it with the rest of the OS's?

Hi,
PINN is a multi-boot operating system installer that is a clone/fork of NOOBS, but with some additional features.
It installs the same OSes that NOOBS can install from the RPF website, including Lakka, Raspbian and several Kodi media centres
It also has a repository of additional OSes to present a wider choice of OSes.

Matt Huisman provides a download of PINN in which he has changed the OS repository used on the cmdline to provide his own Lakka-unstable version for user convernience, but the version of PINN is the same.

You mention a third image of Lakka made by someone else. As long as it is provided in the correct format that NOOBS/PINN expects, with the additional supporting files, I see no reason why PINN can't install it. It can also install OSes from USB sticks (if provided in the right format). Is this 3rd version of Lakka significantly different? Why not use the standard one?

You must install all your OS choices at the same time. The number you can install is limited by the space on your SD card.

Thanks for the reply.

The Lakka image was pre-made and has a lot of steps if I wanted to do it manually.

My RPi is comming in the mail, So I don't have it right now to test,
but to make things clear, all i have to do is have the USB stick plugged in, and the Lakka image will show up in PINN?

Yes, IF it is in the right format. Please follow the link in my sig and then through to github and checkout what is needed to install a custom os if it is just a .img file.

I went to Github, and tried using the search feature.
I can't seem to find any info on how to install if I just have a .img file.

Can you point me to it?
