Good news to have more CSC. I didn't know FriendlyElec also have a +2 board? I thought Orange Pi was the only one with such ridiculous naming. I've got the OPi+2.
I just checked the eos. Any reason why the OPi2 is eos? It's got the H3 that's supported on many other boards. Orange Pi's are the most downloaded images on Armbian. So I wonder if somethings wrong with it.

I can just do this. Clear enough I guess.
 

First render.
I'll make the dirt look more rough. I don't know of the color(colorblind...) I'll make the stone look marble.
 
I can also make grass and make it look a lot more cheerfull, maybe flowers or so.

I've finished the grave stone. But I'm having troubles making the ground look right. I'll add more texture to it and hope it'll turn out better.
If anyone has any idea's... Please let me know, mine have dried up.
 

I've finished the EOL background.


I'm rendering everything in 4K with my N2. I've finished a few.
Here's one with rounded shape.

I'll upload them all together when ready. Cheers.
 

I've finished all of them. All 4k except the transport one. That would take too long since there are many light sources and bounces.(+10hours) And even then the quality would be less since I've got to lower some things.
And the N2 isn't super stable either.
They are all converted to jpg because the original png's are together 560MB.

My favorite is the under construction one But you can't use that for supported

@lanefu If you need anything more, let me know. I hope people are going to like them, I've already seem them too much. 

Now I can start putting my render farm together to make new animations for my channel.
Cheers.

Pity about the Zram config and pity this is NOT communicated when you download it so you know to run the config, but worse, that it has not been removed or repaired.
 
Yes, when I have 5 minutes, I will duplicate what I did the other day and see what happens.
 
I was trying to test my modified fancontrol.c program so was launching a few you tube videos and facebook pages ;-)
 
Thanks again for your help as always @NicoD Armbian would not be the same without you !

Hi @JrRockeTer 
Do :
sudo apt install zram-config and reboot. 
That will increase your zram from 1024MB to 2048MB. There's a fault in the armbian zram-config. For 4GB ram it should create 2GB zram. But it by default creates 1GB. 

If you run on an NVMe, then create a big swap file (don't forget sudo, or use "su" before applying the commands :
 
fallocate -l 8G /swapfile chmod 600 /swapfile mkswap /swapfile swapon /swapfile echo "/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
I'll check out Focal mainline now on the M4V2. Cheers.

Run these two commands:
sudo cp /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4356-sdio{-nanopi-m4v2,}.bin sudo cp /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4356-sdio{-nanopi-m4v2,}.txt Reboot and verify if your wlan0 interface is working.

As am I JR...
Armbian is such a huge project, with not many people working actively on it. So that's why these things happen. If it were Microsoft we should be p*ssed. But this is Armbian. Free software made for free.

As I said, for a reliable desktop with the M4V2, this is still the image to go for. https://dl.armbian.com/nanopim4v2/Bionic_legacy_desktop
There are many other issue's with Focal alone. Then using a mainline kernel with issue's. My bet is it will take about 6 months before that's fully functional. But as said before, I'm no dev. Just a dude trying things out
Good luck.

In my case, I had to use another version of the brcmfmac4356-sdio firmware. Do a backup of the original one and try the files in the attachment ...
brcmfmac4356-sdio.bin brcmfmac4356-sdio.txt

We have moved the forums to a new host with higher availability.  Caches may need to be cleared.  Hopefully performance will be better as well.   Please reply here to report any forum-related issues.

Hi @NicoD  nice to see you and nice to watch the videos, there are 3 I have not seen yet ..
I don't know what caused the problems.. After talking to werner I recompiled the fancontrol C program and set it up as a service and I used the original power supply. The rebooting issue disappeared.
I think it is stable now but it gave me a lot of problems, I finally changed to SDDM instead of the default and changed to Ubuntu Mate..
Now it works just like I want it to BUT ; In the process I managed to lose my wlan0 device, which I posted about in another post.
Yesterday I donated some money to Armbian hoping to help on the support side.
 
And thanks to  @Werner who tried his best.
Have fun holidaying, I'm not venturing far this year!

Enjoy yourself

Since you mention @NicoD may I suggest you look at his other YouTube Videos because he covers installing other desktops , swap files and overclocking on Armbian and MUCH more.
He also has a fantastic video about his famous useful commands, you can download is useful commands and learn those, this would give you a huge boost forward in your learning.
After watching his videos you can post a comment if some things were not clear to you.

This is what I would do if I were you .
 
@Nico

Thank you.. ticket created

Sooo, I tried to fix the issue, using a 5.8-rc3 kernel... While the frequencies are back, there's some heavy glitches with Panfrost drivers and I don't know if that's due to kernel changes (entirely plausible) or if that's due to the patch.
I'll try test a 5.8-rc3 kernel without this patch, just to check who's the culprit.
 
Meanwhile, here's a patch that brings 500Mhz frequencies back for Mali GPU on RK3288 boards : https://gist.github.com/Miouyouyou/0dad9c4a321349166bbc9d49ffec315a
From 73258d32daf3a661281bb5c77c5e2e06c7ff714e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Miouyouyou (Myy)" <myy@miouyouyou.fr> Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2020 02:02:18 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] arm: dtsi: rk3288: add GPU 500 Mhz OPP again Undoing the very bizarre mainline kernel patch, 75481833c6dbab4c29d15452f6b4337c16f5407b which main purpose is to sync some 3.14 kernels hacks to mainline kernels, for reasons that only matter for a few Chromebooks, and shove it down the throat of every RK3288 user. If you need to avoid the GPU going to 500 Mhz on Chromebooks, remove the OPP entry inside the DTS that actually matters to RK3288 Chromebooks. Meanwhile, the 600 Mhz operating point can prove to be unstable on some RK3288 boards, while 500 Mhz works fine. https://forum.armbian.com/topic/13515-panfrost-on-rk3288-and-gpu-on-600mhz-problems/ Signed-off-by: Miouyouyou (Myy) <myy@miouyouyou.fr> --- arch/arm/boot/dts/rk3288.dtsi | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/arch/arm/boot/dts/rk3288.dtsi b/arch/arm/boot/dts/rk3288.dtsi index a66412547..ef7457f79 100644 --- a/arch/arm/boot/dts/rk3288.dtsi +++ b/arch/arm/boot/dts/rk3288.dtsi @@ -1312,6 +1312,10 @@ opp-400000000 { opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <400000000>; opp-microvolt = <1100000>; }; + opp-500000000 { + opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <500000000>; + opp-microvolt = <1200000>; + }; opp-600000000 { opp-hz = /bits/ 64 <600000000>; opp-microvolt = <1250000>; -- 2.27.0  

Hi Armbian,
    I managed to get this to work using the Armbian "dev" branch. Please see my comment on the Goolge/Coral issue page: https://github.com/google-coral/edgetpu/issues/140#issuecomment-652614479
 
(...and nice work all Armbian devs/contributors...the docs were vital and educating)

Newest video.
Gaming on Armbian Focal on the RK3399 with Panfrost.
How to set it up
Thanks to all.

Images are going to be fixed ASAP.

And for every SBC there's a seperate video too.

Panfrost instructions Armbian
 
!!!! I made a script that does all this, check a few posts later for the script !!!!!  
This tutorial explains how to build an Armbian image with panfrost. And what else you need to make it work.
These are early drivers. Many things don't work yet. Only OpenGL 2.1 works now.
 
You need to build an image with kernel 5.2 or later.
For this you need an x86 pc with Ubuntu 18.04 or a virtual Ubuntu 18.04 x86 image.

First install git, then clone the build folder from Armbian, and enter the build directory.
 
apt-get -y -qq install git git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/armbian/build cd build Now run the script with EXPERT=yes so you can choose to build a dev image.
sudo ./compile EXPERT=yes Choose "Full OS image for flashing" Then "Show a kernel configuration menu before compilation" Choose your board. If it's not in the regular list, look in "Show SCS/WIP/EOS/TVB". Choose Development version kernel configuration -> device drivers -> graphic drivers -> panfrost  
Let it run until it's finished. The image will be in the /build/output/images
Burn it to an SD-card/eMMC/...
 
Now we need to install all the needed software
sudo apt install flex bison python3-mako libwayland-egl-backend-dev libxcb-dri3-dev libxcb-dri2-0-dev libxcb-glx0-dev libx11-xcb-dev libxcb-present-dev libxcb-sync-dev libxxf86vm-dev libxshmfence-dev libxrandr-dev libwayland-dev libxdamage-dev libxext-dev libxfixes-dev x11proto-dri2-dev x11proto-dri3-dev x11proto-present-dev x11proto-gl-dev x11proto-xf86vidmode-dev libexpat1-dev libudev-dev gettext glmark2 glmark2-es2 mesa-utils xutils-dev libpthread-stubs0-dev ninja-build bc python-pip flex bison cmake git valgrind llvm llvm-8-dev python3-pip pkg-config zlib1g-dev wayland-protocols Download and install meson
wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/meson/meson_0.55.3-1_all.deb sudo dpkg -i meson_0.55.3-1_all.deb Download and install mesa DRM
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/mesa/drm cd drm meson build --prefix=/usr ninja -C build sudo -E ninja -C build install cd .. Download and install mesa graphics
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa cd mesa meson -Ddri-drivers= -Dvulkan-drivers= -Dgallium-drivers=panfrost,kmsro -Dlibunwind=false -Dprefix=/usr build/ ninja -C build/ sudo ninja -C build/ install REBOOT
 
Optionally, update sdl (recommended)
git clone https://github.com/SDL-mirror/SDL.git cd SDL mkdir build cd build cmake ../ make -j6 sudo make install REBOOT
 
Only thing that works ok with it is supertuxkart, to install it.
sudo apt install supertuxkart
 
Panfrost - Linux games working from repo
SuperTuxKart - Works well
ExtremeTuxRacer - lots of glitches
AssaultCube - lots of glitches
