First of all thanks to the people maintaining armbian for helios64. I recently upgraded (well I reinstalled) to trixie and everything mostly runs stable for me. However I have a problem with the 2.5GB adapter. It is connected to a 2.5GB switch and when for example running iperf3 I get proper results close to 2.5 GBit. So in general it seems to be running ok. I have a DLNA server (minidlna) running on that machine and when I stream from my TV (streaming via VLC from my laptop triggers the same problems) the network connection drops for a moment and works again after a few seconds (which you can guess is super annoying when watching something). I am not sure what exactly is triggering this. most of the time the network is super stable but during streaming I get hickups. This is what my kernel log spits out when this is happending: ``` Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event TRB for slot 4 ep 3 with no TDs queued Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event TRB for slot 4 ep 3 with no TDs queued Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event TRB for slot 4 ep 3 with no TDs queued Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event TRB for slot 4 ep 3 with no TDs queued Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event dma 0x00000000053f8f10 for ep 3 status 1 not part of TD at 00000000053f8ed0 - 00000000053f8ed0 Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event dma 0x00000000053f8f20 for ep 3 status 1 not part of TD at 00000000053f8ed0 - 00000000053f8ed0 Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event dma 0x00000000053f8f30 for ep 3 status 1 not part of TD at 00000000053f8ed0 - 00000000053f8ed0 Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event dma 0x00000000053f8f40 for ep 3 status 1 not part of TD at 00000000053f8ed0 - 00000000053f8ed0 Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event dma 0x00000000053f8f50 for ep 3 status 1 not part of TD at 00000000053f8ed0 - 00000000053f8ed0 Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event dma 0x00000000053f8f60 for ep 3 status 1 not part of TD at 00000000053f8ed0 - 00000000053f8ed0 Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event dma 0x00000000053f8f70 for ep 3 status 1 not part of TD at 00000000053f8ed0 - 00000000053f8ed0 Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event dma 0x00000000053f8f80 for ep 3 status 1 not part of TD at 00000000053f8ed0 - 00000000053f8ed0 Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event dma 0x00000000053f8f90 for ep 3 status 1 not part of TD at 00000000053f8ed0 - 00000000053f8ed0 Apr 09 17:45:54 hermann-walter kernel: xhci-hcd xhci-hcd.0.auto: Event dma 0x00000000053f8fa0 for ep 3 status 1 not part of TD at 00000000053f8ed0 - 00000000053f8ed0 Apr 09 17:45:59 hermann-walter kernel: r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00873: NETDEV WATCHDOG: CPU: 0: transmit queue 0 timed out 5152 ms Apr 09 17:45:59 hermann-walter kernel: r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00873: Tx timeout Apr 09 17:46:00 hermann-walter kernel: r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00873: Tx status -2 Apr 09 17:46:00 hermann-walter kernel: r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00873: Tx status -2 Apr 09 17:46:00 hermann-walter kernel: r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00873: Tx status -2 Apr 09 17:46:00 hermann-walter kernel: r8152 2-1.4:1.0 enx646266d00873: Tx status -2 Apr 09 17:46:02 hermann-walter kernel: r8152-cfgselector 2-1.4: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 3 using xhci-hcd ``` the usb related messages are not always there but the r8152 related messages are always there. I found a similar problem here: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/issues/22130 I tried replacing the firmware but that didn't help and I later found out that the helios64 uses a different firmware so that explains why it didn't help: ``` Apr 10 05:48:30 hermann-walter kernel: r8152 2-1.4:1.0: Loaded FW: rtl_nic/rtl8156a-2.fw, sha256: 7b50f4a307bde7b3f384935537c4d9705457fa42613eb0003ffbc4e19461a1e0 Apr 10 05:48:30 hermann-walter kernel: r8152 2-1.4:1.0: Loaded FW: rtl_nic/rtl8156a-2.fw, sha256: 7b50f4a307bde7b3f384935537c4d9705457fa42613eb0003ffbc4e19461a1e0 ``` does anybody know what is going on? I am quite sure that the problem wasn't there before the upgrade (but I might be mistaken because I only started observing the helios64 again after the upgrade. also it seems to be related to the amount of network traffic going on. i.e. lower bitrate streams seem to not trigger the problem). Streaming via the 1GBit NIC is working fine.

I think I may have found the Wi-Fi info from the board label. It is an Allwinner H313 board, and the sticker says **1+8 (SV625 6P)**, so I believe the Wi-Fi chip/module is **SV6256P**. I still can't read the marking directly on the IC itself, but the board label strongly suggests that this is the Wi-Fi chip being used.

3D Graphics Acceleration on T95N (A98X Jackbox) - RK3229 with 2GB RAM / 16GB eMMC - Educational Project for Schools Hi, I’m working on a project using a specific TV Box model (A98X Jackbox) to repurpose these boxes as low-cost computers for schools. The goal is to provide students with a platform to use AI tools and basic productivity, but I need better browser rendering. Hardware Specs (Confirmed via board teardown and logs): Board ID: T95N-RK3229_512X4_V1.5 CPU: Rockchip RK3229 RAM: 2GB (Confirmed via free -m) Storage: 16GB eMMC (SanDisk SDIN9DS2-16G) OS: Armbian 21.08.8 Bullseye (Legacy Kernel 4.4.194-rk322x) What I have done so far: Installed the Minimal image and set up LXDE with LightDM. Optimized the system (Governor set to performance, swappiness set to 10). Ran glxinfo -B which confirms it's currently using llvmpipe (Accelerated: no). Tried searching for Mali drivers via apt, but armbian-config is not available in the repositories for this specific build/architecture. Verified Wi-Fi functionality (working fine with LED config 2 via rk322x-config). The system is stable and surprisingly fast thanks to the 2GB RAM, but the CPU is struggling with 100% spikes during browser rendering (Epiphany WebKit) because it lacks GPU acceleration. Question: Is there a way to enable Mali-400 MP2 drivers for X11 on this Legacy 4.4 kernel? Are there any specific packages, blobs, or workarounds to get hardware acceleration working and replace llvmpipe? I’m available to run any tests or provide further logs if needed. Thanks for this amazing project!
