I did try to build a Buster image with your script but it never finished. I tried 2 times with the same result.

This was Linux 5.18.5-media and there was no wifi at all here. It was Sid I tried. The problem is that sometimes HDMI audio isn't there to choose from. Doesn't happen that often. But sometimes it's not there and I have to reboot to have hdmi-audio back. It might be because I'm using a Elgato 4K60 HDMI capture box. I do have issue's with that thing not always working. Thank you, I'll test a more recent Ubuntu with 5.18. The Sid I tested was the oldest I could find. So there might be the problem. I tried Sid because I had seen great improvements in supertuxkart on BPiM5 with Bullseye. Didn't see that on Sid here. I will test it again, and also test on my old pentium to see if it's normal there. I didn't try having only VGA running. I will wait for those before making the video. Now my 5.19.16 Jammy xfce4 image is almost perfect. Everything is running that I want to run. Only the HDMI audio that isn't always there. But that's a minor issue. I'll also try to build a Buster image from your build script to see if I can use the Media Framework on it. I do miss the perfect video playback on it. Thank you for the input. Helps a lot. I'll wait at least a day before making the video. Normally I was gonna make it today. Cheers.

@balbes150 I'm finishing my research on the OPi800. I wanted to let you know my findings before I make the video. The best image I tried was Armbian_22.11.0-trunk_Orangepi-800_jammy_current_5.19.16_xfce_desktop.img5.19 Jammy There I did have an issue with hdmi audio not always working. After a reboot it most of the times is back. Also I couldn't get 5Ghz wifi working while 2.4Ghz wifi is working well. This was the error in dmesg [ 230.032015] unisoc_wifi unisoc_wifi wlan0: sprdwl_report_connection Scarlet-Dekerf 5Ghz failed status code:1!

With Armbian_22.11.0-trunk_Orangepi-800_sid_current_5.18.5_xfce_desktop.img There is no on-board wifi. I also noticed my 5Ghz wifi dongle drivers aren't installed or working. Works on other armbian devices. It's a realtek 802.11ac So I again was stuck in 2.4Ghz wifi mode. But then a very old dongle that performs a lot worse than OPi800 2.4Ghz wifi. I tested the VGA port on this image. VGA does work, dual display works. But there's a problem with the VGA color. It's all yellow. I don't think it's my display, but I haven't used it in a while, so possible. I still have to test images with kernel 6.0 Here my gathered info until now.

Armbian Sid 5.18 on-board wifi/bt / Missing 5Ghz usb dongle drivers Thank you for the great work. It is a nice experience with Jammy 5.19. I installed box64, box86, wine, PPSSPP and tons of games. Runs well for an RK3399. I like that they choose a VGA port instead of dual HDMI. I hope it can be fixed in the future. Cheers.

I added a function to build PPSSPP. Should work on all Armbian versions with GPU drivers. https://github.com/NicoD-SBC/armbian-gaming These are the build steps used in the script to build PPSSPP for Ubuntu / Debian Linux. git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp.git cd ppsspp git pull --rebase https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp.git git submodule update --init --recursive sudo apt -y install build-essential cmake libgl1-mesa-dev libsdl2-dev libvulkan-dev /bin/bash ./b.sh cd build make sudo make install Run it with "PPSSPPSDL" (case sensitive)

@balbes150Thank you for the info. One more thing, I don't see OC overlays. Is this possible with your images? It does run very cool. So there's headroom. Cheers.

@balbes150Hi, I hope you're doing well. I'm gathering info for OPi800 review. I had not used RK3399 in a long time for desktop. I moved to N2+ instead. My question. How is it now with the media kernel? Is everything now integrated for that in all your rk3399 images/media-kernel? Or do I still need a debian image to install the media packages? I'm a bit confused. Video playback looks good, but I haven't tried any 4k files. Youtube playback ain't perfect. I remember this being better with the media script. Otherwise the images are pretty good. I tried the 6.0.3. There only on-board wifi wasn't working. The 5.19.6 works great. But haven't gone deep yet. Thank you for the good work. Cheers.

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
