  1. so wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/meson/meson_0.54.0-1_all.deb sudo dpkg -i meson_0.54.0-1_all.deb Or just use my script I wrote that does all that and has the correct file included. https://forum.armbian.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=5683 Or use the graphics repo repo sudo apt-get install software-properties-common -y sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade Or Werner his method, apt build-dep mesa Grab sources Compile like described here: https://panfrost.freedesktop.org/building-panfrost-mesa.html Restart X These are 4 different ways to do the same. The first way is how it was done at the start. you don't have to make it that hard. My way is only good if you want to try different versions of MESA. When using the 3th method with graphics repo (fastest) you do not need to install anything more. I'd go for Werner his example. Be sure the kernel module for panfrost is activated and you use the latest 5.x kernel. Best to build the image yourself to be sure o have latest kernel. Good luck, I've still not found time to look into it for the H6.
  2. In this folder the newest meson is to be found, just use one of those later ones. If you use the one in the repo it will not work. http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/meson/ Otherwise just use this instead from @m][sko sudo apt-get install software-properties-common -y sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade I haven't tried lately. Last time I checked there were problems that I couldn't solve.
  3. You can set your governor to performance. For swap, do you mean creating a swap file? Or zram? A swap file on an sd-card is a bad idea, you need fast storage for that. You can find here how to create a swap file, and how to install zram. Zram shoud be installed by default to my knowledge in Armbian. I don't have your board, no idea of possible OC for it.
  4. Nice job @Werner Great to see it working on the H6. Can you give instructions for this please? I had given up on it. I haven't done much sbc work lately.
  5. Bit off topic, that's what the topic is for So I've been using the NanoPi M4/V2 for over a half year as main desktop and left my pc off most of the times. That today gave me a nice advantage in my electrical bill. While the price of electricity goes up, I consumed 8.8% less only by using SBC's instead of my pc. And that not for a full year even. I can still improve with LED lights. And keep using my SBCs. This does give an example why using ARM can be very benificial. I even made a quick video about it. Not really Armbian related. I don't think I need to convince any of you of the advantages of using arm. But it is a good thing to think about where we can save money/energy in replacing x86 machines with arm boards. Arm also has disadvantages off course. Less user friendly, do it yourself... I also talk about that. So you don't need to see the video any more actually, bit if you do, please enjoy.

    Try bigger files. This test does files of 64k. Try files of 100MB 100times. dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=100MB count=100 conv=fdatasync I use the gnome-disks utility to benchmark. It shows the performance with big files, but also the latency what is important for small files. That way you get numbers that can be understood.
  7. Are you monitoring the voltage of your board? What board do you use? How about other clocks like 500MHz? What kernel are you using? Good luck.
  8. What is your problem? That image isn't there anymore. All old images are here, no more 4.19 https://dl.armbian.com/bananapi/archive/ For recent images https://dl.armbian.com/bananapi/
  9. No, because I use ARM SBC's to burn my images. To my knowledge there was no verification when I joined(april 2018). Win32DiskImager was still my go to then on windows. I never liked etcher. Too bulky for its task.
  10. Hi. Could you try to do it manually? sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration Might be a bug in the script.
  11. I just use gnome-disk-utility on an SBC. It isn't perfect, but does the job. Otherwise multiwriter also works on SBC's. I see no need in verification. I see it works when it does. I can't remember ever having an image not written right. I don't know/think Etcher has a "working" arm version.
  12. Might work. You'll need this image Change the uEnv.txt file to point to one of the allwinner h6 dtb files. If your device isn't there then try some others and see how well it works.
  13. I don't know. I wasn't able to get it stable with the H6, but panfrost was activated. Now panfrost stopped working on all devices. I don't know what's going on. Even on my rockpi4b I can't get it to work anymore. Tried different kernels and all the same. llvmpipe.... With both my script, or with the video-repo. So we've got the same problem. I don't have that much time to invest into searching a fix. If you/anybody finds out what's happening. Let me know.

    Should I review it? I didn't ask for one since I've got enough RK3399's, and I didn't think there be too much of a difference. I could try to source one. Cheers.
  15. Does it work when you go to another terminal with (ctrl + alt + F3)
  16. Why would you want to use a 2 year old image? Those are outdated images. Just use a recent image and adjust the dtb for your device.
  17. It isn't outdated. Do what is written in the post above. Download the image, read carefully all the instructions. Choose the correct dtb file.
  18. Sorry, only now I see this comment. It was the version 1. I haven't looked into it again. I'll see if I find time this week to test again. Indeed. That is best. Only for panfrost mainline is better now. But it'll take some time before everything is perfect in mainline.

    I suspect you are using a mainline kernel (5.x) image. With those the U-Boot takes a long time to start on RK3399. I don't have the OPi4. But many other RK3399's. For most purposes the legacy images are best.
  20. This will be it. I'll do all the other boards next week when I find the time. Thank you. Edit : Doesn't work, I'm trying to find what's wrong. I have no idea. This is what I've done to get the u-boot I then wrote "Armbian_20.05.0-trunk_Arm-64_bionic_dev_5.6.0-rc2-next-20200220_desktop.img" to an sd-card. I then did where sdb is the sd-card with the armbian image. sudo dd if=u-boot-opi3.img of=/dev/sdb conv=fsync bs=1 count=442 sudo dd if=u-boot-opi3.img of=/dev/sdb conv=fsync bs=512 skip=1 seek=1 I adjusted uEnv.txt to point to OPi3.dtb file and activate the correct append for 2GB.. When I insert the sd-card in the OPi3 it boots from eMMC and not from the SD-card. u-boot-opi3.img
  21. I'm confused. The more I read the 2nd sentence the less I understand. Could you tell me what command I can use to get the u-boot to work on Balbes images? All that uboot wizardness goed above my hat I don't understand what you mean with "and "seek" the same amount of bytes when writing into the other image."
  22. @balbes150 I must be doing something wrong. When I write the u-boot-opi3.img to the boot partition, the boot partition disappears from view. This is what I've done. Sorry for the troubles. If I can do it right I'll do it for a lot more boards I've got. u-boot-opi3.img
  23. Are you something with this? Sorry I'm bit clueless about these things. linux-u-boot-current-orangepi3_20.05.0-trunk_arm64.deb linux-u-boot-dev-orangepi3_20.05.0-trunk_arm64.deb
  24. Your Android image is gone, you've installed Armbian to the eMMC. Do a google search "H96 Max Android download" You can always try using a cheap usb wifi dongle if on-board wifi doesn't work.
