    I am not sure of that.

     

    My understanding is that we are still building release images from master branch and the removal of this line from targets.conf:

    
    -rockpi-4b			legacy			focal		cli			stable	yes

    means that focal legacy image for rockpi-4b will not be built.

    Lack of focal legacy image among 20.02.3 release images (built after the referred commit was merged) seems to corroborate that theory ;-)

     

    Hmm. when I doubt just blame @Igor

  2. Sunxi is one of the platform where we dont follow mainline directly and can be behind depending on maintainers progress. 

     

    https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/sources/families/include/sunxi_common.inc

     

    We often add patches to bring it current.   @Igorupdated it a few weeks ago but rolled them back after i had a problem....   which i think turned out to be caused by another issue i haven't figured out yet.  Probably safe to add payches back.

    Create the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-driver.conf

     

    with the following contents.

     

    Spoiler

    Section "Device"
               Identifier  "Rockchip Graphics"
           
            ## Use modesetting and glamor
                Driver      "modesetting"
                Option      "AccelMethod"    "glamor"     ### "glamor" to enable 3D acceleration, "none" to disable.
                Option      "DRI"            "2"
                Option      "Dri2Vsync"      "true"
                Option  "TripleBuffer"    "True"
            ## End glamor configuration
           
    EndSection
     

     

    you may need to set Option AccelMethod to none depending on your use.

    Please add developers and more topics below, I will then also add them here.

    Release Planning: April 3rd. Meeting in IRC channel #armbian on freenode. Meeting starts at 2pm GMT.

    (let me know if this is a bad date, because it is around easter holiday in Germany for example)

    Hi guys! I need to run some game on full screen, and they are old school windows one. the thing is that adding the modeline worked perfectly fine on rpi4, not on armbian sadly. it seems to change the resolution and then it go "out of signal". I used the same parametes than on rpi4. also generated new ones just in case. the thing is I cant make it to work and maybe iut's something deep into armbian.

     

    exaple: 

     

    xrandr --newmode "640x480_60.00"   23.75  640 664 720 800  480 483 487 500 -hsync +vsync
    xrandr --addmode HDMI-1 640x480_60.00

     



    make sure the Xorg config is using the  modesetting driver and not  fb 

     

    Example here: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/c1ef2aeba9ab782ec543e37425f2da61b2f4c4fb/packages/bsp/pinebook-pro/xorg.conf#L9

     

    Otherwise it's a constraint of the driver for the SoC.. not really an Armbian limitation. 

     

    Also it's possible the port may be called HDMI-A-1

     

    root@orangepi4:/sys/class/drm/card1-HDMI-A-1# pwd
    /sys/class/drm/card1-HDMI-A-1

     

    anyway I suspect you need to use the other driver and will be able to use normal means of adjusting resolution

     

    FYI I hid your feature request post because it was redundant and I've responded here.

     

  6. Half-relevant.  Had fun idea for new simple feature:  control mode of onboard leds.  (Heartbeat, io, etc)

     

    Basically enumerate whats in /sys/class/led and pick their setting via the tui.  Just use a systemd.unit as a oneshot service that reads config file to set value at startup

    Also, when plugging in a headphone the audio playback wont auto-mute the speakers, ill have to open alsamixer and mute the speakers and bring up the headphone volume; every time i restart the computer.

     

    no coding needed.. this is just configuration stuff... If you're able to figure out what config files on the desktop need to be fixed and what settings need to be placed in them, that's a huge help... and honestly 80% of the work needed... I can help get the configs into the build after that  :) 

  8. https://armbian.atlassian.net/browse/AR-702

     

    (Don't worry I only tagged it for the 21.08 Release -- so we have plenty of time to think this through)


    Armbian provides a lot of extra device tree improvements for support.   Currently they’re added to the build system via patches, which is very difficult to follow.

     

    We need a new approach that makes our device tree files and overlays more visible within the Armbian-build framework.. as well as make it easier for us to upstream our faces to SoC maintainer kernel trees.

     

    Obviously lots to figure out here.

     

    Tagging a few.. please tag more :)  @martinayotte @TonyMac32@Igor@Rich Neese@Werner 

  9. I havent read the whole thread so im just kind of chiming in anyway.

     

     i could be wrong but how the "chainloading" typically works in out world is that the first uboot stage loads...   and then it can pick up the second stage / SPL (secondary program loader) on another device if the first stage uboot is able to do it.

     

    Other implementations like petitboot are actually using the system uboot and then loading a tiny linux and using kexec to load kernel from other devices similar to how you might boot another linux. By updatting grub.cfg
