It loooks like the Panfrost gpu driver is made as a module in the kernel configuration, marked with an M and not *. If I want this module to be built into the kernel, can I change it from M to * to do this? When built as a module, how do I turn it on? Is it in armbian-config (under overlays) or some other place?

Thanks, found it. run this command to start building with an extension: ./compile.sh ENABLE_EXTENSIONS=mesa-vpu

https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Switches/ Look for ENABLE_EXTENSIONS

How do I enable those extensions during the image build?

Here is an sample implementation of both: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/51915-server-vs-desktop-images/#findComment-218346

You can see here what the most important one does: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/extensions/mesa-vpu.sh

Hey Dandaman46, I managed to kinda hack the functionality i wanted with the wake-up timer and a magnetic hall effect sensor (A3144 or DRV5053) : import os import OPi.GPIO as GPIO from OPi.pin_mappings import sunxi assert sunxi("PG11") == 203 # GPIO-G11 - Wake/Sleep Pin DRV5053 button_wake = "PG11" GPIO.add_event_detect(button_wake, GPIO.RISING, callback=None, bouncetime=200) GPIO.setmode(GPIO.SUNXI) GPIO.setwarnings(False) # disable when production ready.. GPIO.setup(button_wake, GPIO.IN) # PG11 as Sleep/Wake Pin # pull it LOW (magnet away) to wake (needs pull-down resistor?) # pull HIGH (magnet near) to sleep (needs pull-up resistor?) if GPIO.input(button_wake) == GPIO.HIGH: os.system("echo +5 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm") os.system("echo mem > /sys/power/state") elif GPIO.input(button_wake) == GPIO.LOW: pass

Yes, that sound right. Now I have to learn how to use backports or ppa ...

Does this include graphics, like gpu driver, mesa, opengl, vulkan and so on?

Hm sounds like it all boils down to mesa. Ubuntu Noble has kisak ppa to provide a more current version while Debian can pull more recent mesa packages from backports. mesa-vpu extension should deal with that.

3000 EUR is a bit steep I'll use armbian+config for now.

I have problems with gpu drivers. Some builds have Panfrost drivers, and some har software rendering. Often, Ubuntu has Panfrost, but Bookworm has Software. Prebuilt images often have Panfrost, but if I build the same image myself, there is no gpu driver. Learning about overlays, and looks like I have to enable gpu drivers there. I want to use Debian and not Ubuntu, but Ubuntu seens to have better hardware support (audio/video drivers). Not sure if that is just something I "think"

Did you also start screen or minicom on the SBC ? For example: screen /dev/ttyS0 115200 And on PC: screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 Make sure you use the same speed on both sides.

It tries to download files even if I comment out all of the /sources.list.d/ which is strange in my view.. This is probably my external hard drive that I actually use for data backups (primary use of this whole system). It is fstab and is automounted on every start. It could be that it was actually disconnected when doing armianmonitor 😉 But this is to be sorted later. Thanks for pointing that out Any ideas? This is really too complicated for me to solve on my own at this point.

Can you be more specific?

Thank you so much for the responses, IBV and Werner! I'm connecting from the PC USB to the SBC serial com port, then attempting to run Screen from the PC.

it could be that there is a bug in one distro that is not present or already fixed in the other it could be that one image is missing a package that should have been installed (this would be a bug in Armbian if it affects one of the images we publish) best you can do is to report bugs if you think there is one

throw out an offer and see if you get any takers 😉

That is true but almost impossible to understand for an outsider.

https://forum.armbian.com/subscriptions/ Being a Gold Partner would be a good start. Software development is expensive and unfortunately getting 10 bucks here and there are simply not enough to make a living from for anyone.

@dr_toggleswitch If that concerns you, may I suggest to stop using torrents? It appears you don't have a good understanding how torrents work.

Desktop images have some standard adjustments, like other wallpaper or certain extensions enabled. Driver, or kernel-wise, they are, depending on things mentioned earlier, identical to server images. You can check the build framework on Github for all the code.

there is annoucement for a better support in, but they not give the build :
