I've not messed with the NPU, I should, but don't know a good use case. The things you'll have to read are probably this https://www.khadas.com/post/npu-toolkit-v6-4-0-10-for-vim3---vim3l-released And this https://forum.khadas.com/t/npu-demo-and-source-code/5938/13

I tried the 5.10 images. Both Jammy and Buster. Both just give a black display, but the display does wake up(background LED is on) All LED's stay on. With sid 5.19 it boots normally. Blue LED flashes. Display works.

Hi all. Here my video about the MangoPi MQ-Pro. It's not powerful, not cheap and not great at anything. But it is nice to see it works. Everybody started out as a baby. So it now needs to grow.

Where did you find that image? Try buster server 5.10 Should work. Haven't tried in a long time.

My video about the updated script.

I've updated armbian-gaming to work on Armbian Jammy. This installs a missing library for box64, box86 and either wine 64-bit or wine x86. https://github.com/NicoD-SBC/armbian-gaming Download zip (code -> download zip file) Unzip Run with sudo /bin/bash ./armbian-gaming.sh Choose your dirsto and install what you need. Choose either the wine 64 or winex86, don't install both.

I noticed the same on a fresh image on the Station P1. So the fix from above was : sudo apt-key del C99B11DEB97541F0 && sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/githubcli.list But sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/githubcli.list I think this should be sufficient since it ain't doing the apt-key thing. There was a small mistake in the original source. github-cli.list vs githubcli.list

Nice to hear. Good work. I haven't tried RK3588 desktop so I don't know how it is. I'm waiting on my Rock5, but no news yet. I'll be happy to have it.

No USB3. Only 1 USB2 port. God enough for tv box tasks and gaming. I wouldn't use it for desktop, but it can do it. Only RK3399 is near perfect for desktop.

My favorite desktop SoC is by far the RK3399. It can do all you want. Good youtube playback at 1080p. (even 1440p when overclocked to 1.5Ghz/2Ghz) Good for browsing and rock stable. I've been using it for a few years now and never had much troubles. Now I still use the PineBook Pro as desktop laptop for on the road to watch movies, do some video editing and browsing. If you need something faster the Odroid N2+ can do it too. But it's not as stable and has problems with its USB3 ports. But it's the fastest well supported board. My favorite makers are FriendlyElec(nanopi M4), Hardkernel (Odroid N2+), Radxa (Rock4B). Others I would avoid. Maybe the OPi4LTS is ok. But I've got no experience with it. I'm not buying OPi boards anymore. They don't care about software for their boards, they only want to sell boards. I've never tried write protected Armbian. So that you'll have to test yourself. Let us know how it goes. No idea why you would want a board without SPI. Doesn't make it more unsafe. And wouldn't stop you to use write protected OS to my (limited) knowledge. I've never used S905X3 for desktop. I do have 2 Odroid HC4's. They are amazing for NAS. Great for gaming with emuElec. For desktop itself it's a bit underpowered for me. Now more powerful SoCs are released. I've got the Khadas VIM4 with 8-cores. Great board, but lacking in software. Also the RK3588 is being released now, but that'll take a while before it's as good as the RK3399 in software. Good luck.

Hi guys. I'm the maintainer for the Khadas VIM3. There are 2 small issue's with the Armbian images for VIM3, and also for VIM2. armbianmonitor -u http://ix.io/46L9 First off, the VIM3 has all its cores clocked to 1.5Ghz by default. I created a Jira for that a while ago. https://armbian.atlassian.net/browse/AR-1094 My simple fix is in /etc/default/cpufrequtils MAX_SPEED=15xxxxxxx → MAX_SPEED=2400000 But I have no idea how/where to adjust this so it is correct for all VIM3 images. Then for VIM2 and VIM3 (maybe VIM3L and VIM1 too) the HDMI audio isn't working as it should. https://armbian.atlassian.net/browse/AR-1095 I once was able to make it work. But I can't remember how. So the device is enabled at boot, but not directed to be used by pulseaudio. Thank you.

Here all other Armbian related videos. And lots of review videos on my channel. So subscribe if you're interested. Greetings, NicoD

Yes. Panfrost GPU driver is enabled on all images for M4V2/RK3399.

What image are you using? There are many ways to install this. I'd advice to start with a fresh, current jammy and build retroarch yourself. https://docs.libretro.com/development/retroarch/compilation/ubuntu/ The problem is that RetroArch doesn't provide arm64 cores. There are gaming images for arm64 boards that include these cores. Good luck.

Hi all. Werner has made a video where he presents himself and talks about how he got into using Linux, SBCs and Armbian. A very interesting video. This is a serie of video's. Igor and Lanefu also have made a video like that. You can find the other video's here. https://www.armbian.com/authors/ If you're willing to make a video like this. I am willing to edit and help out. Greetings, NicoD

Try using mpv instead. VLC is not accelerated with no images. And provide the needed info. I know nothing here with this question. What board, what kernel, what video file, ...

This might be a fix. I haven't had the time to test and implement. Steps used to fix audio on Armbian Clone @Spikerguy Repository From Manjaro Gitlab Ensure you have git installed with, pi@twisteros:~$ sudo apt install git Make a destination subdirectory under /home/pi for git pulls and builds, pi@twisteros:~$ mkdir ~/builds Change to your new ‘builds’ directory, pi@twisteros:~$ cd ~/builds Clone local copies of the Manjaro files: pi@twisteros:~$ git clone manjaro-arm / packages / community / khadas-utils · GitLab Copy Files to Their Correct Locations pi@twisteros:~$ sudo cp ~/builds/khadas-utils/g12_sound.sh /usr/bin pi@twisteros:~$ sudo cp ~/builds/khadas-utils/sound.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/ pi@twisteros:~$ sudo cp ~/builds/khadas-utils/G12B-KHADAS-VIM3.conf /usr/share/alsa/cards/ pi@twisteros:~$ sudo ln -s /usr/share/alsa/cards/G12B-KHADAS-VIM3.conf /usr/share/alsa/cards/G12BKHADASVIM3.conf pi@twisteros:~$ sudo cp ~/builds/khadas-utils/G12B-KHADAS-VIM3.conf /etc/asound.conf Make sure that /usr/bin/g12_sound.sh is executable. It should already be, and you can check with, pi@twisteros:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/g12_sound.sh Otherwise a quck chmod won’t hurt: pi@twisteros:~$ sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/g12_sound.sh Initialize the Systemd Sound Service Unit pi@twisteros:~$ sudo systemctl enable sound.service

Hello everybody. Today the Khadas VIM4 is being released. The VIM4 uses the Amlogic A311D2 SoC. This is a new SoC with 8-cores of which 4 x A53 @ 2Ghz + 4 x A73 @ 2.2Ghz. The board comes with 8GB LPDDR4X and an eMMC of 32GB. If you want to learn more about this new board, then watch my review video about it here. Greetings, NicoD

Hi all. I made a new video where I explain all the basics of working with Armbian xfce4. This for the absolute beginners that come from Windows. But a more advanced user can maybe also learn a few things from it. Here is the video. Greetings, NicoD

Hi all. In my latest video I compare the Odroids HC4 and N2+, RPi400, NanoPi M4 and Radxa Zero with each other. I make a "NicoD opinion benchmark" where I give my thought on what each board is best for. And of course benchmarks... Greetings, NicoD For those interested, here are all my benchmarks of the last weeks.

For some people it is wanted/needed to change things. And for the devs it is a must. It's just expected of people who do change things, that they know what they are doing.

A lot. Just out of my head what I'm willing to part with. What I can miss. KM6 TVbox, OrangePi3, RPiZeroW, Tinker Board, Rock64, Atomic Pi. Only for a good price the Khadas VIM2 and Jetson Nano. RPi2B very maybe. I love that one too much, so only +50 euro for that one. I'll have to take a lok at what else I've got.
