    MX_Master reacted to Chuck the Duck in Unable to make Panfrost work on H6   
    Thanks to Werner, I have a stable desktop on my Orange Pi 3 running the Armbian_20.05.4_Orangepi3_focal_current_5.4.45_desktop.img.xz (stable release).  MOD can put this elsewhere if it belongs in tutorials and not bugs.
     
    Here is how to step through his fix for anyone new to linux (like myself).
    1. After flashing and setting root and user, the user will be logged into the graphical Xfce desktop environment (DE) and will freeze soon.
    2. On the next reboot you can try to use one of the separate terminals instead of the DE.  This is done by holding CTRL+ALT and selecting F1-F6
    3. Quickly log into root account and type the following "sudo systemctl set-default multi-user"  This will disable the DE next time you load.
    4. The system may freeze as the DE is being loaded, so its best to reset and log into the bash shell with root again.
    5. We have to setup a shell script that runs every boot, as the files that Werner overwrites get replaced every time. We will edit/etc/rc.local
    6. Goto "cd /etc/ " and chose your favorite editor.  I used vim, so I type "vim rc.local" to start editing.
    7.  Add the lines that Werner posted earlier to the rc.local file 
    cd /sys/devices/platform/soc/1800000.gpu/devfreq/1800000.gpu/ echo userspace > governor echo 756000000 > max_freq echo 756000000 > min_freq 8. Save and exit to shell.
    9. last step is to enable the DE again, type "systemctl set-default graphical"
    10.  Reboot and enjoy a stable desktop.
     
    It took me about a day to have this working, mainly because of me not understanding the the GPU clock values were getting reset and not knowing unix commands & file structure.  It reminded me as a kid messing with the autoexec.bat on a ms-dos machine.  I am hoping to use an SDR and make this into a HD Radio Decoder (already built the NRSC-5 & GUI) , have it stream to an android head unit in my car & control via VNC.

    @MX_Master I sent you a private message with the link to the sdcard image.
    Anyway I thought that you may double check your libEGL* and LibGLES* symbolic links using ldconfig -p.
    Otherwise you could create a directory /opt/mali, put in libMali.so and create there all the necessary libEGL and libGLES symbolic links to libMali.so, then run glmark2 (or other gles apps) using LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/mali glmark2-es2 --fullscreen command line, so the app will first check the libraries in /opt/mali, bypassing the - messy IMHO - mesa/glvnd machinery.

    Mmmh, no there's definitely something not working... I got totally different results when I tried it myself, but it was with an older kernel and an older X server. It should have worked with latest bits although. I still have the sdcard for the Orange PI PC around here, let me compress and upload it for you.

    maybe build your own kernel with lima disabled (i'm not sure, but i think it might conflict with the old mali driver even if the module is not loaded) ... make sure you apply those two patches:

    another thing to keep in mind is that your user needs access to /dev/mali - usually granted via some udev rule and the video group (usermod -a -G video username) ... example udev rule: https://github.com/hexdump0815/imagebuilder/blob/master/files/extra-files/etc/udev/rules.d/50-mali.rules

    Yes, you need to create a configuration file for X to use armsoc driver. Edit a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-armsoc.conf and put this into:
    Section "Device" Identifier "mali" Driver "armsoc" EndSection also you must be sure that libEGL* and libGLES* libraries are all pointing to libMali.so. Be also sure that the Mali library userspace library has really name libMali.so, because otherwise it won't work!

    The answer is yes, it can be done, but you need a bit of knowledge about compiling kernel modules.
    I made it on an Orange PI PC (Allwinner H3) to test my armsoc drivers and it worked, although Mali-400 MP2 embedded into H3 was quite slow.
     
    You should be able to take everything you need (both the kernel driver and the userland EGL+OpenGL ES drivers) from https://github.com/mripard/sunxi-mali
    Kernel and userland libraries should match their versions to be sure that they work correctly together: if you use r6p2 kernel driver, use r6p2 for userland too.
    Instructions are easy but here are some hints:
    You need the kernel headers package installed, you won't get far without this; you should be able to use apt-get to install the appropriate package for your armbian version You can compile the kernel driver on your very same board (I strongly suggest this), so you don't need to export the CROSS_COMPILE environment variable export the KDIR env variable to point to your kernel headers. Typically: export KDIR=/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build export INSTALL_MOD_PATH env variable to point to your kernel modules:. Typically: export INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel follow the instructions as described, but expect some patch won't work or compile fail. Just don't be scared to get your hands dirty, it is common that you may need to do some little manual adjustments (a missing kernel file here, a missing header there...) Once the driver is compiled and installed, you should be already able to modprobe it.
     
    Follow the instructions to install the userland EGL and OpenGL ES libraries too.
    If you are using the X server, you need the x11_dma_buf flavour and you also need to compile this armsoc driver too (maybe you can try the already compiled version I published on this post, it should work for your SoC too. Ignore the media script part which is for rockchip socs).
    If you don't use X you can use the fbdev flavour, in this case add extraargs=drm_kms_helper.drm_fbdev_overalloc=200 to /boot/armbianEnv.txt as per-instructions.

    MX_Master reacted to Igor in Armbian 19.11.y release notes   
    Release details

    https://docs.armbian.com/Release_Changelog/
     
    Upgrading your Armbian to v19.11.y
     
    This upgrade is changing kernel branch names and first upgrade is not done via regular apt-upgrade process, but you have to login as root or get super user privileges with sudo su. Than do the following:
    apt update apt upgrade armbian-config -> system -> Other -> select either legacy or current with v19.11.3
     
     
    Choose latest version of 19.11.x and select upgrade according to this scheme:
    Odroid XU4 default, next or dev -> legacy (stock 4.14.y) Allwinner default, next, dev -> legacy (4.19.y), current (5.3.y) Odroid C2 and other meson64 boards -> current (5.3.y) Odroid N2 -> legacy (4.4.y), current (5.3.y) Tinkerboard and other rockchip boards -> legacy (4.4.y), current (5.3.y) Cubox and Udoo -> imx6 current (5.3.y) Helios 4 and Clearfog -> mvebu legacy (4.14.y), current (4.19.y) Espressobin -> mvebu64 legacy (4.14.y), current (4.19.y) Those upgrades were tested manually:
     

    Note: upgrade will replace your boot script. In case you made changes, you can find a backup in /usr/share/armbian
    Main build system changes
    Due to changes in branch names and removal of all legacy kernels < 4 your predefined automatic scripts might need updating. Temporally quick fix is to add
    LIB_TAG="v19.08" to your build config file which by default is:
    userpatches/config-default.conf Then run your script as you did before.
     
    Thanks to all who are contributing their time to Armbian in various forms and especially developers who contributed to this release. Also thanks to the greater kernel developers community which are playing great role in this.

    In case you want to participate, you are more then welcome. Step up and start making changes! In case you run into the troubles or find a bug, forum is the place for talking about while fixes you are welcome to prepare and send here.

    Note: some images will be missing today and tomorrow from the download section. Missing one are being created and uploaded but this takes time ... Most of the images were manually tested for booting, upgrades as stated above, but we can't afford to make stability, functional or just boot auto tests on industrial scale. Not with our ultra tiny resources. Perhaps in the future if "you" will support that.
     
    Enjoy!

    Service monitoring and restart functionality can be made by any ARM Linux program or script.
     
    If you want to be shure that Linux OS is running normally, you can use a combination of ARM Linux program and ARISC program. If linux program didn't answering to ping from ARISC program, the ARISC program can restart whole device.
     
    I will use the ARISC firmware just for GPIO toggling. My ARM Linux program periodically will send to ARISC a commands to generate exact number of pulses on the specific GPIO pins, with specific frequency rate.
