This is awesome! Thanks for your hard work! Amazing performance and support! Thanks again!

Just built/tested desktop Bionic for this board, flashed to eMMC and from USB, added topic in "Bring-up" to move it to "Supported".

Technically I flashed the image directly to the La Frite eMMC with etcher on a Debian 10 laptop via USB2. Using the bundled USB male to male cable.
 
Upon bootup, I press (a bunch of times) Esc on the keyboard connected to La Frite, then after ~3 seconds (start pressing from turning ON the La Frite) I press down 5 times, then Enter and it appears on linux as "Linux UMS" a 8GB drive you can flash to.

Also forgot to:

Sudo update-alternatives --config mali
and choose the gl4es

installing armbian-config and the full desktop on top of the minimal image runs like a champ on this La Frite! Thanks so much guys for this awesome work (in progress :D)
 
and temperatures around 15C (on idle, ~60C on LibreComputer current desktop images) less than with the desktop images direct from LibreComputer, WOW! Even overclocked to 1.5GHz! You guys rock for a nightly image!

Added nightly minimal images (root ≈ 500 Mb in size) for La Frite.

Thanks goes to @Neil Armstrong and BayLibre, they've been handling mainlining Amlogic.  I simply curate any additional patches and keep things playing nice with the build system.

Omg it's happening!!!!!!

Yes, I flashed from the USB into the eMMC using an included utility with this command:
 
$ sudo lc_distro_transfer libre-computer/aml-s805x-ac /dev/mmcblk0

OK GPU is working actually, had to input this command to get it to work. Part of it is in the readme.php in the repository where the images have been uploaded by the guys @ LoveRPi.com
 
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/local/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/mali mali /opt/libre-computer/model/aml-s805x-ac/mali/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/gl4es 100
 
then using sudo update-alternatives --config mali chose the gl4es entry just added
after that glxinfo and glxgears worked! FPS counter and everything.

Total Linux noob by the way but I like to tinker. README.php has no indication of this gl4es entry, although it is included in the image.
