3D Graphics Acceleration on T95N (A98X Jackbox) - RK3229 with 2GB RAM / 16GB eMMC - Educational Project for Schools Hi, I’m working on a project using a specific TV Box model (A98X Jackbox) to repurpose these boxes as low-cost computers for schools. The goal is to provide students with a platform to use AI tools and basic productivity, but I need better browser rendering. Hardware Specs (Confirmed via board teardown and logs): Board ID: T95N-RK3229_512X4_V1.5 CPU: Rockchip RK3229 RAM: 2GB (Confirmed via free -m) Storage: 16GB eMMC (SanDisk SDIN9DS2-16G) OS: Armbian 21.08.8 Bullseye (Legacy Kernel 4.4.194-rk322x) What I have done so far: Installed the Minimal image and set up LXDE with LightDM. Optimized the system (Governor set to performance, swappiness set to 10). Ran glxinfo -B which confirms it's currently using llvmpipe (Accelerated: no). Tried searching for Mali drivers via apt, but armbian-config is not available in the repositories for this specific build/architecture. Verified Wi-Fi functionality (working fine with LED config 2 via rk322x-config). The system is stable and surprisingly fast thanks to the 2GB RAM, but the CPU is struggling with 100% spikes during browser rendering (Epiphany WebKit) because it lacks GPU acceleration. Question: Is there a way to enable Mali-400 MP2 drivers for X11 on this Legacy 4.4 kernel? Are there any specific packages, blobs, or workarounds to get hardware acceleration working and replace llvmpipe? I’m available to run any tests or provide further logs if needed. Thanks for this amazing project!

Hello everyone, I'm working on repurposing an MX9 5G TV Box (RK3229) for educational use and I'm looking for a lightweight Armbian image that already includes a working desktop environment (XFCE or similar) with GPU acceleration enabled (Mali drivers, no llvmpipe). I’ve tried minimal builds and installed XFCE manually, but I’m still getting software rendering (llvmpipe) instead of hardware acceleration. I'd really appreciate it if anyone could recommend a tested image (preferably based on Bookworm or Bullseye) that: Boots successfully on the MX9 5G (RK3229) Has Mali GPU acceleration enabled by default Includes or supports installing a lightweight DE (XFCE preferred) Bonus if it includes support for video playback or has a browser that runs decently. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or links!

Hey, how you guys are going? I tryed to download the img of the multitool at this link https://users.armbian.com/jock/rk322x/multitool/multitool.img.xz but it's page not found 404, is there any link where i can download the img of the multitool?

Hey is there any way to swap xfce for lubuntu or xubuntu and have a smoother desktop like the one at the picture? shared image (2).jfif
