On the Orange Pi 5 (Armbian_24.8.0-trunk.468_Orangepi5_noble_edge_6.10.2_gnome-kisak_desktop.img.xz) Is booting, but I get no output to a monitor via HDMI, using standard resolutions. However, I can access via ssh. I would guess the relevant error from DMESG is rockchip-drm display-subsystem: [drm:rockchip_drm_platform_probe [rockchipdrm]] *ERROR* No available vop found for display-subsystem. I also note my NVME drive goes missing. Finally, it is not my experience that any version of Armbian, or Joshua Riek's distro, works well on the Orange Pi 5. All versions are problematic with the VPU, in my case, all versions eventually crash displaying 1080p HEVC video. This is why I, and I suspect many others, are interested in the 6.10 kernel, with MESA/panthor.

Widevine for arm64 has been released, and I have tested that it does work on a Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi has packaged it for PiOS. sudo apt install libwidevinecdm0 I used this to get the .so shared object file, and to understand the expected directory structure. I transfered it to an Orange Pi 5 running Armbian. However, it didn't work. My understanding is that this was because, by default, chromium-browser is hard coded not to attempt to load Widevine on arm64 systems. Presumably, this will be fixed upstream for chromium-browser in the near future. However, it would be nice if it was fixed earlier in the Armbian repo, and particularly if it was fixed in the hardware accelerated version provided by Liu Jian Feng. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:liujianfeng1994/panfork-mesa sudo add-apt-repository ppa:liujianfeng1994/rockchip-multimedia sudo apt update sudo apt dist-upgrade sudo apt install mali-g610-firmware rockchip-multimedia-config I believe the gpu accelerated chomium-browser is from rockchip-multimedia-config. Unfortunately, being a newbie, I do not know how to go about requesting any of this.

I have a similar cursor disappearance problem (the mouse still works, I just can't see the cursor icon). This is reproducible by turning the HDMI display off and on again. I also have other severe issues related to power saving, involving a total freeze, but I'm not yet clear as to how to categorize, or how to reproduce this issue. My build image: Armbian_23.02.0-trunk.0167_Orangepi5_jammy_legacy_5.10.110_xfce_desktop.img.xz I also, successfully, modified this build to boot off nvme (following the post of Marco Schirrmeister Jan 5) and enabled Ubunutu Gnome/Wayland desktop, gpu acceleration (following the post of Royk Jan 5). Both posts in the "Orange Pi 5 Support" thread. I also had a problem with my Bluetooth USB adapter, used for headphones, it worked at first but after a few hours (days?), it stopped working. It was fixed by following the instructions of: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1339825/ubuntu-21-04-bluetooth-5-0-dongle-does-not-work-and-says-theres-no-firmware Note: for the Bluetooth dongle fix, I needed to create symlinks: rtl8761bu_fw.bin -> rtl8761b_fw.bin and rtl8761bu_config.bin -> rtl8761b_config.bin , following the StackExchange comment about renaming for Armbian. I also need to reboot before it worked.
