Hi, I've tested Forsa Desktop with Amlogic P281. It won't load Desktop environment. On 5.8 RC2 it was working. When can we expect h265/hevc hardware video decoding?

Hi there. P281's vendor u-boot can recognize correct MAC address. Is there a way to pass that information to Kernel 5.x ?

Hi, It looks like Kernel 5.7 will get HW acceleration. Can you make image with 5.7 RC1?

I have also tried bionic, buster from 20200227 build. Still no luck. Mine is 1g/8g btw.

One of earlier build was detecting and I was able to install to emmc. Sadly I don't remember which.

Hi, I installed on X96 Mini (P281). when I try to install to internal it says "UNABLE TO FIND EMMC" and lsblk shows only thumb drive and zram[0,1]. Why my emmc doesn't show? I've used Armbian_20.05.0-trunk_Arm-64_focal_current_5.5.1_20200227

Hello everybody, Does anyone has Ubuntu server image with Kernel 3.14?

Is there a version that support HW decoding on s905x device?

Will do that. Aside from that, Are we eventually be able to flash directly to emmc by Amlogic burning tool?

Hello @balbes150, I have tried your latest 5.76 with Mali support. H264 video streams are decoded by HW, however, H265 streams are decoded by SW. I have used following command without any parameter. mpv [Video-URL]. In case of H265, do I need to explicitly state HW decoder? Also I have tried building one myself using your script but I can't find where select Mali driver options. Thanks in advance.

It's definitely decoding by CPU. When I play h264 video cpu usage goes up to 80% and video is dropping lot of frames. H265 files decoding roughly 1 frames per second . Also what's main difference between Kernel 3.14 and 4.x for Amlogic devices?

Thanks. I've reinstalled image and able boot into Desktop. How can I hardware video decoder work?

Finally made it. I was just copying file. I was supposed to flash to SD card. Now I am able boot into terminal and login. However, seems like desktop GUI part is not working correctly. First it shows following text then freezes to . This is x96 Mini with s905w.

It says aml_update.zip file. However, downloaded file is ....img.xz. Do I select .xz file?

Hello, How did you install. I have downloaded Armbian_5.55_Aml-s9xxx_Ubuntu_bionic_default_4.18.0-rc5_desktop_20180814.img.xz. Then extracted with 7-zip. When I try to load img file I get following error.

If you have ever compiled buildroot from Amlogic, please help me. I am trying to learn develop app on amlogic based device. First I was getting compile error on 64bit Ubuntu 16.04. Something like this. Even though there was a file, 'bash' couldn't find or run. /bin/bash: /root/buildroot/x86/xxxx-gcc: No such file or directory Thinking it's something to do with 64 bit OS, I switched to 32 bit Ubuntu 16.04.
