  1. Hi Balbes, Regarding this and the contact with radxa that you mentioned, I am directly in contact with radxa's dev team and allnet Spain (the official distributor of radxa in the world). What they told me is that their main effort now is put into Manjaro's distribution (https://manjaro.org/downloads/arm/rock-pi-4b/arm8-rockpi4b-xfce/) I have also reviewed the work of Akash Gajjar with kernel 5.10 and rock pi 4 and I am trying to get in contact with Alyssa Rosenzweig, that is the responsible of some great patches for using rk33xx with panfrost and trying to intagrate VPU use with mesa. I will let you know my progresses about all these things with rock pi 4, but to sum up I can see some lights at the end of the tunnel. Thanks!
  2. Roger that and sorry to ask, sometimes being a newbie comes with these silly questions
  3. Balbes, that sounds amazing! Could you please give me more information on this? At this moment, we have already purchased the rock pi 4 models and are testing different solutions. BTW, as you can see in this link: https://wiki.amarulasolutions.com/news/071120.html it is not that Radxa doesn't want to collaborate with GNU's world, probably they put all the effort in yocto rather than armbian, who knows! I have to check all this information and see if yocto has more support for this board, because the economical effort has been made. It would be an absolute pleasure contacting with you and trying to give support to rk33xx apart from firefly products. I have to say that with 4.4 kernel and debian 10 things just work and VPU and quite good GPU is possible, so that will be my first goal. After that moment, probably I will jump into mainline kernel possibility. If you could give me some guidance here, it would be reeeeeeally apreciated. Regarding armbian forums: Is it possible to change my profile anyway, so I can post more than 1 message per day? I think that is crazy and stops the growing up possibilities of the community. Thanks so much for your great support, you are awesome!
  4. Balbes150, thanks for this information! I am indeed really interested on having a functional debian/ubuntu rockpi 4 image working with VPU and GPU, because I am working in an educational project based on rockpi 4 to provide as cheap as possible minipcs for some schools. It is amazing all the information that you mentioned before and I am really happy to hear that finally this is possible from kernel 5.16. Actually, yesterday I have been trying to put all the things that you mentioned here together, but I couldn't make them work. What I tried was this: 1. As rockpi 4 doesn't appear anymore as a mainly supported board in the arm downloads, I tried to compile from scratch (as I usually do). I Have chosen bleeding edge kernel with xfce on top of a Bullseye distro, because I supposed it was going to be the closest to the mainline kernel. It generated the image with kernel 5.15.19. 2. The image is working fine, but as I could check, no VPU or GPU was working. 3. I installed what you indicated about Kodi (probably missunderstood your indications here) and nothing extra happened, so I'm a little bit stuck here. I have some questions at this point, because probably it is a better chance for me understanding all the packages that I should install to have it working and then generating u-boot from armbian and doing debootstrap by myself, adding exactly what I would need in the final image: 1. Which kernel version is needed (minimum) to make VPU working in mainline kernel with rockpi 4? 2. Are all the patches that you commented that were created for RK3399 included in the rockpi 4 kernel configuration? 3. Is it possible to compile with armbian's compile.sh script a 5.16 or 5.17 kernel? 4. Which are the software packages, kernel modules, etc needed to make VPU and GPU working? Is there any script/website where I can go to know more about this information? Sorry for the long post, but as armbian forums don't allow more than 1 post per day, I had to condense the best I could all my doubts and problems. Thanks again for your guidance on this guys! It is really helpful for me!
