AZ8 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Hi guys, I am going to apply some LibeELEC multimedia patches to Armbian kernel Please advise, what is the proper way for this? I have found folder build/userpatches/kernel/sunxi-current. Should I put files here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes if you are planing to compile "current" kernel for Allwinner. While I am not sure we are missing anything important ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I am not sure we are missing anything important ... Thanks Igor I have found topic with advice to apply patches Had a bit of a success with HDMI audio and also video acceleration on OrangePi 3. What was needed was to apply some patches from LibreELEC, namely ones from projects/Allwinner/patches/linux/ . For video acceleration you need 0005-cedrus-improvements.patch and compile Cedrus driver. When done right you should see in dmesg: cedrus 1c0e000.video-codec: Device registered as /dev/video0 Do you know if this patches already included into Armbian? With latest available armbian for orange pi 3 hw acceleration is not available, so I am trying to build kernel and kodi for Armbian with full mmedia support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have noticed so far is that the performance of the 3d hardware acceleration is better on 5.6 than on 5.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Unfortunately, when I am trying to switch kernel, I got an exception every time cat /tmp/switch_kernel.log linux-image-dev-sunxi64=20.02.12.114 linux-dtb-dev-sunxi64=20.02.12.114 linux-u-boot-orangepi3-dev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
