I tried both the 6.8.10 and 6.1.43 releases from CI pipeline and none of these has the ap6275p wifi option in the armbian-config tool. There was a previous post that mentioned that the module got merged for the new kernels but is there an ETA to have this one in the CI releases? I'm curious to try vlc but haven't been able to install that one yet with the new releases.

Wifi works flawlessly with recent image. Includes Link Quality and Signal Level

OMG Thank you!!! Yes this works. This is very exciting, so glad to have a recent image working on the opiz3

I tried the uboot with the same image you mentioned. Something is definitely happening, I see red and green lights flashing however there is nothing on my hdmi output, no shell or nothing else. Am I missing something?

This is awesome. Would you be able to share the uboot bin file to start? Also PR to the community build would be super useful but I suspect there is a bit more to figure out. I did some digging around the builds and was not able to figure out where the u-boot thing was happening. Would the OPI Zero 3 1.5G be a separate configuration? Sounds like it needs to be a separate build and configuration (until more uboot magic can be figured out). Also this doesn't look like a regular patch if a u-boot bin needs to be applied.

Any chances you guys could share your images? Been struggling getting a recent image to boot with my 1.5Gb one. only the old official Debian images work. One of the github links from Orange PI provides a bin uboot for the 1.5Gb but I had no luck with that. leeboby/opizero3-uboot-dtb: 保存opizero3 1.5gb和4gb版本的开发板linux6.x系统需要替换的u-boot和dtb文件 (github.com)

Is this to add support for ap6275p in the 6.x kernel series? Was going to ask the same question

Been trying to play 4k youtube videos with VLC and I haven't had any luck with vp09 and mp4 files. Is VP9 supported with 24.2.1 + kernel 5.10.160? I have no issues with hardware decoding of mp4/h264 in vlc but is vp9 hardware decoding possible? Browser seems to play youtube in 4k but not sure which codec it is using

I haven't tried Jammy with 6.1.43 but the kernel doesn't say rc anymore so curious of the status. How does this build compare in terms of feature and performance with 5.10? Is all the video decoding supported? The RK3588 Kernel support page says that hdmi audio is not supported - is that really the case? Is gnome/wayland supported? I see that only KDE is listed there.

Had same issue - I had to change the HDMI signal to 2.0 Enhanced

in the past I had a script to power on/off my TV through home assistant. The CEC supports putting devices in sleep and waking them up. If this works in Kodi then the standard kernel interface is available in Armbian. The important part is the hardware support - very few devices support sending CEC data but if Kodi can change input and turn on/off already, then we should be all good with Armbian and OPI5.

My current TV doesn't have CEC but I'm planning to replace it with something that has CEC support and would really like to automate the on/off thing... Is cec-utils supported or is there an alternate kernel API?

This is amazing!!!! Is Wayland supported yet? I'll give this a shot once all these updates make it to the official pre-release images.

I ended up doing source install... had to redo it couple times to include ncurses and sqlite. Followed these guides How to Compile and Install Python 3.12 / 3.10 in Debian 11 / 12 - FOSTips How To Install Python 3.12 on Ubuntu, Debian, & LinuxMint (tecadmin.net)

I'm trying to update python on my armbian bookworm to 3.12 but I cannot find any packages for bookworm. I regret not going with the ubuntu one now 😕 because that one has the deadsnake packages. Any known alternatives? (beside compiling your own packages)

holy crap x86/x64 emulation with steam on top - that's next level

Btw, been using moonlight on Armbian 23.11 with sunshine on my pc upstairs (windows) and that has been working incredibly. The only missing item I had to do is add xpadneo on armbian to get the rumble to work on the xbox controller through Bluetooth.

Million thanks sir! You saved the whole armbian for OPI5, your latest packages work like a charm with VLC - and that is a clean fix. My video playback is perfect again, if not better.

Wow yes I can confirm that one works even without the memory limitation. Is there any way to get vlc to use ffmpeg 6? I assume they are linked to avcodec58 instead of avcodec60? I had the video playback working correctly in a previous Jammy version with your previous package. Is the 4Gb memory limit the best solution today? What do you recommend?

All videos, all players - tried both vlc and mpv and tons of videos. Without the 4G limitation the playback is choppy (one frame every minute + tons of frames skipped) and they end up with all kinds of weird error messages. mpv shows this one [h264_rkmpp @ 0xffff833fb620] Doing slow software conversion The kernel ends up full of these messages Oct 04 01:51:28 kitchen-opi kernel: rga_mm: RGA_MMU unsupported memory larger than 4G!

I figured out a workaround if anyone else if having this issue. I added the following option in armbianEnv.txt - it will limit your memory to 4gb but fixes video decoding. I believe a real fix for the current 5.10.160 kernel would be an updated version of the panfrost drivers. @amazingfate - any chances you could look into a new build? extraargs="mem=4G"

Since I re-installed 23.8 Jammy with the extra ppa:liujianfeng1994 repo - I haven't been able to play any videos on my OPI5. All players I tried seem to have kernel issues decoding any h264. I've narrowed down the error message to a 4Gb memory limit with the selected version of the drivers but I was wondering if anyone had luck with playback. I had better luck with Jammy 23.4 and I regret upgrading. What is the recommendation? Should I try nightly with 6.6.0-rc1 kernel? I assume this one doesn't need panfork drivers anymore or are there other recommendations for h264 playback?

Yes this is the solution if you don't have NetworkManager installed - which should be the case on Debian/non desktop Ubuntu.

I have 23.8.1 Jammy installed with kernel 5.10.160 and I'm getting plenty of kernel errors during any video playback, and these also cause the playback to freeze. From my research, these error messages come from librga - which I assume come from the panfork and rockchip repos but I was wondering if anyone has been able to resolve these errors.

Arg... I can see the panfork module loaded in this distrib but I did not imagine all these other components were missing... Can't figure out how releases are figured out for armbian, but feels like an updated version of jammy would have been easier to handle for the common user. For video playback, I guess skip this release? I can in other threads that ppl have been able to get acceleration on the new 6.x kernel in experimental builds... I need to re-install... Should I go with Orange PI official image or is it worth configuring the new nighly with 6.5 kernel?
