renky Posted September 21, 2019 Posted September 21, 2019 http://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/ I expect this is the software. Free software is software you may use, share, modify and redistribute. To my knowledge orange pi one has an armv7 cpu. And the gpu is the same as on a pinephone. On this forum I was told command apt purge iozone3 armbian-firmware might turn armbian into a free software system. There is an armv7 libre linux kernel, which to some extend supports mali gpus. I want to test the libre linux kernel on an orange pi one computer, to get to know how well a Mali 400 MP2 runs on free software. Maybe it can give a streak of how well the pinephone's gpu will run on free software? How do you test a libre linux kernel on an orange pi one? Do you purge the linux kernel from armbian and then install libre linux kernel? Thanks.
Igor Posted September 21, 2019 Posted September 21, 2019 Uninstall armbian-firmware and iozone3 and you are licence free. There is free driver for Mali but it perform as bad as on any other kernel. 5.3 , dev kernel might perform better. Install it from armbian-config - system. Generic kernels are not here yet.Wrote on mobile
renky Posted September 21, 2019 Author Posted September 21, 2019 Quote Install it from armbian-config You reinstall armbian. Run command sudo apt purge iozone3 armbian-firmware Then command sudo armbian-config From the menu you select kernel 5.3? And install it? Quote Generic kernels are not here I did not know a kernel for arm has to be customized for the mainboard.
renky Posted January 7, 2020 Author Posted January 7, 2020 Is it? armbian-config -> system -> nightfly Then system -> default Thank you.
