OSMC Marches on with early update

The changes to get OSMC working on the Pi 3 were done in a very short period of time so the Overclock profiles have not been updated yet.

So you have two choices:

  1. Manually remove any speed related lines such as arm_freq from config.txt and reboot - this will allow the Pi 3 to boot at its default clock speeds. Make sure you don’t re-enter the Pi overclock module or it will be reset to defaults, which will actually be Pi 2 defaults. (Eg underclocked for a Pi 3)

  2. Look up the default clock speeds for the Pi 3 on the Raspberry Pi website (I don’t know what they are off hand) and use the custom option in Pi config to manually configure those speeds to match. Or you could edit config.txt directly and the Pi config module will honour the changes you make.

Edit: Directly from @popcornmix, these are the default Pi 3 clock speeds:

Default for Pi 3:

    arm_freq=1200
    gpu_freq=300
    core_freq=400
    sdram_freq=450
    over_voltage=0 
    over_voltage_sdram=0

So if you use the custom overclock to manually select these speeds your Pi 3 will run at the correct default speed.

In a future update we will fix the overclock profiles properly.
