Did more reading and the docs mention that overlays are a WIP not available for all boards... Going to assume that overlays with this version do not exist? I was originally thinking of using armbian on all my boards but it looks like the rpi4 build might be behind features compared to official ubuntu - going to assume several features are missing since hardware menu is not there... Is that an actual fact?

The `hardware` menu is missing on the current build - so been trying to manually install spidev module. I did add the following lines to armbianEnv.txt but I don't see anything yet in /dev/spi* overlays=spi-spidev param_spidev_spi_bus=0

In the most recent builds, the kernel logs have been flood with Mar 02 21:31:38 kitchen-opi kernel: [drm:rockchip_vop2_mod_supported] *ERROR* Unsupported format modifier 0x800000100000351 Mar 02 21:31:38 kitchen-opi kernel: [drm:rockchip_vop2_mod_supported] *ERROR* Unsupported format modifier 0x800000100000351 Mar 02 21:31:38 kitchen-opi kernel: [drm:rockchip_vop2_mod_supported] *ERROR* Unsupported format modifier 0x800000100000351 Mar 02 21:31:38 kitchen-opi kernel: [drm:rockchip_vop2_mod_supported] *ERROR* Unsupported format modifier 0x800000100000351 Mar 02 21:31:38 kitchen-opi kernel: [drm:rockchip_vop2_mod_supported] *ERROR* Unsupported format modifier 0x800000100000351 Mar 02 21:31:38 kitchen-opi kernel: [drm:rockchip_vop2_mod_supported] *ERROR* Unsupported format modifier 0x800000100000351 Mar 02 21:31:38 kitchen-opi kernel: [drm:rockchip_vop2_mod_supported] *ERROR* Unsupported format modifier 0x800000100000351 Mar 02 21:31:38 kitchen-opi kernel: [drm:rockchip_vop2_mod_supported] *ERROR* Unsupported format modifier 0x800000100000351 Mar 02 21:31:38 kitchen-opi kernel: [drm:rockchip_vop2_mod_supported] *ERROR* Unsupported format modifier 0x800000100000351 Mar 02 21:31:38 kitchen-opi kernel: [drm:rockchip_vop2_mod_supported] *ERROR* Unsupported format modifier 0x800000100000351 Mar 02 21:31:38 kitchen-opi kernel: [drm:rockchip_vop2_mod_supported] *ERROR* Unsupported format modifier 0x800000100000351 Mar 02 21:31:38 kitchen-opi kernel: [drm:rockchip_vop2_mod_supported] *ERROR* Unsupported format modifier 0x800000100000351 Mar 02 21:31:38 kitchen-opi kernel: [drm:rockchip_vop2_mod_supported] *ERROR* Unsupported format modifier 0x800000100000351 Mar 02 21:31:38 kitchen-opi kernel: [drm:rockchip_vop2_mod_supported] *ERROR* Unsupported format modifier 0x800000100000351 Mar 02 21:31:38 kitchen-opi kernel: [drm:rockchip_vop2_mod_supported] *ERROR* Unsupported format modifier 0x800000100000351 Mar 02 21:31:38 kitchen-opi kernel: [drm:rockchip_vop2_mod_supported] *ERROR* Unsupported format modifier 0x800000100000351 Mar 02 21:31:38 kitchen-opi kernel: [drm:rockchip_vop2_mod_supported] *ERROR* Unsupported format modifier 0x800000100000351 there are no issues with the opi itself beside these log messages... any way to remove them?

Figured it out - the permissions/groups changed somehow. Also the update brings its own udev - the udev rules is not necessary anymore. Neither is the device creation... That's a solid release! sudo usermod -a -G video <username> - fixed the h264 mpp service sudo usermod -a -G netdev <username> - prevents popup for wifi sudo usermod -a -G bluetooth <username>

I just installed the most recent nightly image - this one looks like a major update but it broke armbian on my opi 5 1. I had to re-install the mali firmware to get x11/wayland to start - not sure why the update deleted the file 2. I had to re-install the mali-g610-firmware rockchip-multimedia-config packages 3. VLC cannot start the h264 decoder anymore [0000005583627590] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.

I finally found an official source code on the download page of OrangePI that has a version of wiring pi with support for the Orange PI 5 - unfortunately that code is not on the github of orangepi yet. What would be the best way to get this code and the gpio tool into armbian? Build a PPA and package for that one? I don't mind forking their repo and adding the mods but I'm not familiar with generating debian packages.

I'm really struggling to get chromium to work correctly with hardware acceleration. 1) I have custom kernel image from master branch last week. Which maybe could cause some issues? 2) I added the two repos (panfork and mesa) sudo add-apt-repository ppa:liujianfeng1994/panfork-mesa sudo add-apt-repository ppa:liujianfeng1994/rockchip-multimedia 3) I've ran all the updates 4) I installed ubuntu desktop to enable Wayland which is working nicely 5) I've added the HDMI audio output 6) My default chromium configuration does already have the egl enabled. When I start Chromium, I get the following errors 39610:39643:0125/091804.694008:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(623)] Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get: object_path= /org/freedesktop/portal /desktop: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: No such interface “org.freedesktop.portal.FileChooser” [39610:39643:0125/091804.694207:ERROR:select_file_dialog_linux_portal.cc(242)] Failed to read portal version property libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null) [39655:39655:0125/091804.826811:ERROR:gpu_init.cc(537)] Passthrough is not supported, GL is egl, ANGLE is [39655:39655:0125/091804.829891:ERROR:gl_display.cc(508)] EGL Driver message (Error) eglQueryDeviceAttribEXT: eglQueryDeviceAttribEXT [39655:39655:0125/091804.830069:ERROR:gl_angle_util_vulkan.cc(189)] Failed to retrieve vkGetInstanceProcAddr [39655:39655:0125/091804.830187:ERROR:vulkan_instance.cc(91)] Failed to get vkGetInstanceProcAddr pointer from ANGLE.

Sounds like egl should be enabled... What am I missing? libva error - this is usually because there is no LIB_VA - but from what I've seen there is no lib va available for Orange PI 5. Correct or am I missing something?

In the original PR for Orange PI 5 I recall someone mentioned that the Jammy had somekind of glitch with USB on the OPI5 but is that still the case? From the threads here, it looks like the distribution has many patches and fixes. Is Bullseye the recommended distribution?
