Wish I could find an ELI5 document for how to create a bootable copy of an Armbian image using the command line.

Understood. I'm still on 24.x.x so I don't know if the later ones are better. I tried for a while without, but honestly, you gotta get yourself a TTL -> USB that works so you can follow the log. Once you do that, you'll see the errors clear as day as to why the overlays aren't being loaded. Not sure what country you're in, but in NA they're quite inexpensive. This is the one I got: https://www.amazon.com/Serial-Adapter-Signal-Prolific-Windows/dp/B08BLKBK1K

Hi @Ryzer I had the same issue with network unreachable error. looks like they updated the repository (25-Mar-2025 16:19). I guess it's still updating? Everything you need is here. http://apt.undo.it:7241/debian/pool/main/f/ffmpeg-v4l2request/ Edit: ffmpeg-v4l2request repository works now. They reverted back to the original files. I don't see the (25-Mar-2025 16:19) updates anymore. I tried all these patches and they all applied cleanly. I haven't noticed any "DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB" errors. I don't need the cma changes anymore. 1080p videos still shuttering. https://github.com/NickAlilovic/build/tree/v20250306/patch/kernel/archive/warpme-6.12 patches.armbian/0126-drm-panfrost-dvfs-switch-gov-to-performance.patch patches.armbian/0553-media-cedrus-Don-t-CPU-map-source-buffers.patch patches.armbian/0554-media-Add-NV12-and-P010-AFBC-compressed-formats.patch patches.armbian/0555-media-cedrus-add-format-filtering-based-on-depth-and.patch patches.armbian/0556-media-cedrus-Implement-AFBC-YUV420-formats-for-H265.patch patches.armbian/0557-media-cedrus-Increase-H6-clock-rate.patch patches.armbian/0558-media-verisilicon-g2-fix-chroma-offset-calculation.patch patches.armbian/0563-hantro-Add-quirk-for-NV12-NV12_4L4-capture-format.patch

Hi Nick, Thanks for the suggestion, after doing a bit more research it does seem like v4l2-request is better suited. I did attempt following jocks instructions but I could not add the apt repo as it yielded a network unreachable error. AS a work around I will try with Kwiboo's instead: https://github.com/Kwiboo/FFmpeg as this also has v4l2-request support. Thanks for providing the patches, I am interested to see how they will preform on the A10, I will be sure to implement them next time I get round to a system build. Once I get a positive indication that hardware acceleration is working I will trying increasing the CMA size but I may need to change screens. My current system only has a cma of 96MB, in the past I found if I set it too high it will stop displaying at all on my 4K monitor. @jwalds I dont believe so, I have yet to find a patch that adds encoding to the cedrus driver. A possible start point would be here: https://github.com/bootlin/linux/tree/cedrus/h264-encoding as it looks like some work has at least started. just to add testing with MPV did not exactly yield great results, the image seems to bounce up and down for a few seconds then freezes as the system appears to crash Thanks Ryzer

@Void Spirit Test to record multitool on other flash drives. You must be doing something wrong, because I have a 90% identical board. I have all Linux images loaded from both USB media and sdcard. Why multitool doesn't work is very unclear, it's more a question about your equipment from which you're recording.
