Hi, a stupid question, how can I make the X96 Air actually boot from SD-Card? I wrote Armbian_20.05.3_Arm-64_buster_current_5.7.0-rc2_20200425.img to sd-card, updated u-boot settings, plugged the sd-card in to Air, powered on and it boots into Android again. Feels like I am missing some step in there

Had a bit of a success with HDMI audio and also video acceleration on OrangePi 3. What was needed was to apply some patches from LibreELEC, namely ones from projects/Allwinner/patches/linux/ . For HDMI audio to work you need 0004-sun4i-i2s-improvements.patch , which contains support for I2S on H6. When done right you should see in dmesg: asoc-simple-card sound: i2s-hifi <-> 5091000.i2s mapping ok Also what helped was an IRC chat that Jernej had with mirko some time ago: https://irclog.whitequark.org/linux-sunxi/2018-03-14 For video acceleration you need 0005-cedrus-improvements.patch and compile Cedrus driver. When done right you should see in dmesg: cedrus 1c0e000.video-codec: Device registered as /dev/video0 For a good measure I applied other patches in that directory as well, some needed modifications to apply to 5.5 kernel (LibreELEC uses 5.4) . Then FFMPEG needs to be compiled with v4l2_request to actually do the acceleration To get Kodi GUI acceleration working you need to compile mesa 20.0.0-devel from Mesa GIT. Kodi then needs to be compiled as GBM version. I also applied patches that LibreELEC has for Kodi into my Kodi tree. @jernej sounds the above about right?

Anyone caught this one? https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Mali-T720-Stable-Mesa-20.0 It is present in mesa git master, going to try to compile it.

Probably doing something stupid here. The whole kernel build process is triggered every single time when recompiling the image. I would expect only to rebuild files I have modified, or drivers I have added during menuconfig. I did set this in userpatches/config-example.conf: CLEAN_LEVEL="debs" But still getting: [ o.k. ] Checking git sources [ u-boot v2019.10 ] [ .... ] Cleaning .... [ 8 files ] [ o.k. ] Checking git sources [ linux-mainline orange-pi-5.3 ] [ .... ] Cleaning .... [ 206 files ] And then it compiles the whole thing all over again. Can someone please point me to what I am doing wrong here?
