I don't see it as the very latest bleeding edge kernel version. I see it as a newish Linux, which already has the armbian patches updated for. Some CPUs end up with newer or older Linux versions, due to varying levels of development success. For example, sunxi's armbian edge is 6.15.4 today, but the linux trunk is up to 6.17-rc6 ... (not available in Armbian)

Debian Trixie : rolling release when building armbian
robertoj replied to Stefal's topic in Raspberry Pi
Building a rolling release is more than just showing that in the MOTD. If you do "sudo apt upgrade" in an OS image you just built, you probably will have zero or one packages to upgrade. If you start with an image built a long time ago, or with packages defined a long time ago, then "sudo apt upgrade" would take a long time. -
H3 cedrus video acceleration, device tree problem?
robertoj replied to schunckt's topic in Allwinner sunxi
I have the same debian as you: 5.1.4-xxx-v4l2request, installed over Debian Bookworm, with Linux 6.15 (OS built by myself). When I tried the ffmpeg-7.x.x-v4l2request for Trixie, I could not get hardware acceleration. -
Setting up OV5647 camera & Ili9341TFT SPI Display
robertoj replied to Marc Lawrence Dizon's topic in Beginners
Search my threads with keyword "ili9341". Post a photo of your wiring, a schematic, and what did you try within armbian... in this thread. -
H3 cedrus video acceleration, device tree problem?
robertoj replied to schunckt's topic in Allwinner sunxi
That will definitely make you not get hardware accelerated video Make sure to follow the 3 commands to install the custom repo, its certificate and higher priority: sudo wget http://apt.undo.it:7242/apt.undo.it.asc -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/apt.undo.it.asc . /etc/os-release && echo "deb http://apt.undo.it:7242 $VERSION_CODENAME main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/apt.undo.it.list $ echo -e "Package: *\nPin: release o=apt.undo.it\nPin-Priority: 600" | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/apt-undo-it sudo apt update Then check that the new custom dpkgs are available for install/upgrade apt list ffmpeg-whatever Here's how I force install a specific version: sudo apt install packagename=nn.nn.n -

Share your displaying configuration by running "neofetch" and post it here. If your X11 is running on top of framebuffer, instead of DRM, it wont work. I also would like to get more debug from cedrus, linux's v4l2... but at least you can add -v to mpv to get more debug You only need the ffmpeg plugins offered by the original poster of the v4l2-request thread This is tested with mpv player only. v4l2-util and -ctl are only useful for webcams and video capture devices. v4l2loopback is not involved here. I don't have it I have an orange pi zero LTS, but I havent tested it there (I would use an SPI LCD, since it doesn't have an HDMI prot) -
Is Netplan acting like hidden malware?

For debian problems, do what I do: Get the cheapest raspberry Recreate the problem Ask the question in the raspberry forum Apply solution to Armbian XD -

Debian Trixie : rolling release when building armbian
robertoj replied to Stefal's topic in Raspberry Pi
With the armbian build system, you can build either Bookworm or Trixie You will always get the latest Bookworm or the latest Trixie packages in a freshly built armbian OS. This is what's meant by "always rolling release"... not to be understood as "always sid or Trixie". Independently, the armbian build system will let you choose a stable Linux version, or the latest available from Armbian (edge). -
H3 cedrus video acceleration, device tree problem?
robertoj replied to schunckt's topic in Allwinner sunxi
You are still using an old Linux. You need Linux 6.13 or newer. You need to build your own Armbian OS. Also, don't forget the cma=256M kernel argument -
Plymouth-quit-wait.service hangs booting
robertoj replied to Dais's topic in Software, Applications, Userspace
Get the microsd card mounted in your linux laptop Open /boot/armbianEnv.txt Add the line: extraargs=plymouth.enable=0 disablehooks=plymouth https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Plymouth When you get booted in your armbian OS: sudo apt remove plymouth -
I don't know anything about this patch, but check this: * Linux version you are using, vs Linux version corneliius has used * Try deleting the hunk in the patch that caused the problem you saw, and see if other hunks cause patch failures * If it is only one hunk causing the problem, look at the file that is affected by the patch drivers/auxdisplay/Makefile: do the lines mentioned in the hunk exist in the Makefile? In the expected line number?

Orange Pi Zero 3 ili9486 TFT LCD (WaveShare 35a)
robertoj replied to goodfvh _YT_'s topic in Allwinner sunxi
Find a DTS that uses compatible="waveshare,rpi-lcd-35" and try again (I don't use that LCD, so I am not sure... but I know it is special because it contains a SPI-to-parallel chip) -

robertoj replied to schunckt's topic in Allwinner sunxi
Can you try if any of the H3 images from libre-elec would get you video acceleration? https://libreelec.tv/downloads/allwinner/ i once tried the orange pi pc image in my orange pi zero lts (h3) and it worked -
H3 cedrus video acceleration, device tree problem?
robertoj replied to schunckt's topic in Allwinner sunxi
My main theory is that linux 6.12 doesn't have the v4l2 improvements needed for hw acceleration, that you can only get with linux 6.13.... The link i published explains that. -

Did you compile your armbian OS with linux edge 6.15.x, bookworm, xfce? https://forum.armbian.com/topic/32449-repository-for-v4l2request-hardware-video-decoding-rockchip-allwinner/#findComment-216587 -

Your gpios lines are declaring reset="i6" and dc="h4"... is that correct? At this point, we can see that all pins are correctly defined and connected. Maybe wire length issue? Bad terminal connection? My wires are 15cm long... directly connected with dupont connectors. -

Self compiled Armbian Bookworm + XFCE with Linux Edge 6.15.x Then follow all the instructions in https://forum.armbian.com/topic/32449-repository-for-v4l2request-hardware-video-decoding-rockchip-allwinner/#findComment-176981 Then add extraargs=cma=256M to armbianEnv.txt -

If it doesn't work, compile your own Armbian with EDGE linux (what worked for me). Stay away from Trixie at this time (its mpv doesn't work as well as Bookworm's) -

No X11

Are you using the same GPIO wiring as I am? Previously, I was using different GPIO for the chip select, and touch wasn't working... now with my current GPIO in my DTS, it works perfectly.
