Kernel 6.1 for Orange Pi 5+

[Joel]

I haven't tried this with any other Debian version, I have built a server image of Armbian based on Debian 12 Bookworm through the build tool and transcoding works fine for me now. I have also only tried Nyanmisakas Docker image of Jellyfin through the Docker Compose feature in Open Media Vault.

 

I just followed the instructions here:

 

https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/10748

 

When you download the Libmali Valhall drivers, make sure you get version v1.9-1-2d267b0 from November 14 since the later versions don't work with kernel 6.1. Install it with Apt so you get all dependencies. And after everything is installed you need to open the Jellyfin dashboard, under Playback you will see Hardware Acceleration. Pick "Rockchip MPP (RKMPP) and check all the codecs (I have only tried HEVC and H264 so far so I don't know if all of them works).

[Andrey Stepanov]

I tried running Kodi in gbm standalone, using Armbian_24.2.3_Orangepi5-plus_jammy_vendor_6.1.43_minimal image, kernel with VOP2 patch, panfork-mesa repo from @amazingfate , rockchip-multimedia repo from @Spooky

Usual settings in Kodi: DRM PRIME decoder and Direct to plane. When playing a video there is a black screen, judging by the overlay the Rockchip decoder is used. There is an error in the Kodi logs:

error <general>: CVideoLayerBridgeDRMPRIME::Map - failed to add fb 0, ret = -22
debug <general>: ffmpeg[0xaaaadf8b7bb0]: [h264_rkmpp] Decoder could not get packet, retrying

Hello,

 

Please forgive me if this is not the correct place to ask this, but it seems to be apropos to where I'd ultimately like to get, I believe. I am, however, a relative n00b, so please bear with me if this is a pedestrian question.

I've got an Orange Pi 5 Plus currently running Debian Bookworm using kernel version 5.10.160-legacy-rk35xx. I recently heard that there have been some major security holes found recently in the linux kernel and I was hoping to do an in-place upgrade of ONLY the kernel to whatever may be the latest kernel version that supports this architecture.

First off, am I correct in thinking that this is something that needs to be done? The system is otherwise running fine as-is. But I'd also like to make sure it is secure.

 

And secondly, what would be the process for determining the latest kernel version that will support my architecture and manually installing. Are there .deb package files that can be downloaded from where? That seems like the most straightforward installation process.

 

Thank you, in advance, for your time and attention.

 

Kind Regards,

 

AB

@Adam Bresnay Run armbian-config and there is a submenu for selecting kernel versions.

[Adam Bresnay]

@SteeManThank you, and again my apologies, I left out a crucial detail. I'm not actually running straight armbian. I'm running dietpi, technically. But, when I first installed, I wanted to be able to put / on the internal flash (I believe it's referred to as eMMC), and the only I was able to get it to work was to initially use the straight armbian image to boot.

 

Then had to go in and make whatever changes to the boot order of things I had to make, which I take it were then written to I think SPI storage, so it sticks and the boot order is maintained regardless of what OS image I then use on top of it.

I believe the newest actual dietpi images are using kern version 6.10 or so. Whatever the version, I believe it's not susceptible to those latest security flaws so I'd like to end up there.

 

End goal:

* Install newest kernel version that supports my hardware

* Do so without having to do a full reinstall of the entire OS

* Maintain the current boot order and ability to boot from eMMC drive

 

Apologies for that pretty important omission there.

 

Thank you

 

- AB

[SteeMan]

@Adam Bresnay  These forums are for Armbian.  You would need to contact dietpi if you are not running Armbian.  We can't help with dietpi issues.

[Adam Bresnay]

@SteeManOkay, will do.

 

Thank you for your time.

Hi!

 

i've tried to apply the patch but i still have a black screen, maybe i did something wrong

 

build: Armbian_24.2.4_Orangepi5_jammy_vendor_6.1.43_kde-neon-amazingfated_desktop

 

After armbian wizard i did:

apt update & upgrade

reboot

apt install kodi kodi-repository-kodi

reboot

start Kodi in GBM

i've tested a video file, and black screen

so i've quit from Kodi and i did the procedure below to apply the patches 0001-rga3_uncompact_fix.patch / 0002-vop2_rbga2101010_capability_fix.patch:

 

% git clone -b rk-6.1-rkr1 https://github.com/amazingfate/linux-rockchip.git

Tested Kodi again, and black screen

Any suggestion?

 

Thanks!!

@Dbosco The same here until I compiled Kodi with the patch myself and everything works.

that's great Royk! so i can build Kodi following the official github guide, with GBM and GLES + patches 0001-windowing-gbm-Dynamic-plane-selection.patch / 0002-VideoLayerBridgeDRMPRIME-Use-crop-fields-to-render-t.patch ?

 

or should i use a different configuration?

 

thanks!

[royk]

@Dbosco Yes that's it

[Dbosco]

@royk  after applying the patches i've tried to build Kodi with severals of the configurations available and always with GLES, but there are some issues:

 

cmake ../kodi -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DCORE_PLATFORM_NAME="x11 wayland gbm" -DAPP_RENDER_SYSTEM=gles

 

it start Kodi but with X11

 

cmake ../kodi -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DCORE_PLATFORM_NAME=gbm -DAPP_RENDER_SYSTEM=gles

 

and

 

cmake ../kodi -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DCORE_PLATFORM_NAME=wayland -DAPP_RENDER_SYSTEM=gles

 

Kodi doesn't starts, it just return to the login page

 

 

for all the cases the session name is "Kodi" and not "Kodi-Wayland" as was before with GDM3 and previous kernel. 

 

ls /usr/share/xsessions

plasmax11.desktop

 

ls /usr/share/wayland-sessions

plasma.desktop

 

any idea?

 

thanks!

 

 

[royk]

@Dbosco Build and install with at least GBM

Paste the following in /usr/share/wayland-sessions/kodi-wayland.desktop

 

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Kodi Wayland

Otherwise try to stop the window manager and start it manually to see if it gives an error, from login window press: ctrl+alt+F2 -> sudo systemctl stop gdm3 -> env FFMPEG_RKMPP_DEC_OPT="afbc=on" kodi --windowing=gbm --audio-backend=alsa

Edited April 18 by royk

[Dbosco]

thanks @royk now Kodi starts

 

unfortunately when i'm playing a file the video is not showing, and I can listen the audio in the background. 

 

same with 

sudo systemctl stop gdm3 -> env FFMPEG_RKMPP_DEC_OPT="afbc=on" kodi --windowing=gbm --audio-backend=alsa

 

to recap:

 

build: Armbian_24.2.4_Orangepi5_jammy_vendor_6.1.43_kde-neon-amazingfated_desktop patched with 0001-rga3_uncompact_fix.patch and 0002-vop2_rbga2101010_capability_fix.patch 

 

Kodi Nexus GBM+GLES, with patches 0001-windowing-gbm-Dynamic-plane-selection.patch and 0002-VideoLayerBridgeDRMPRIME-Use-crop-fields-to-render-t.patch

 

tested with GDM3 and SDDM

 

dunno what i'm doing wrong 

 

[royk]

@Dbosco (Assuming you set the settings in Kodi correct: settings->player->videos->render method Allow using DRM PRIME Decoder=enable Allow Hardware Acceleation with DRM PRIME=enable Prime Render Method=Direct to Plane)

Perhaps something is wrong with your ffmpeg, mpp or rga. Try to follow the steps on: https://github.com/nyanmisaka/ffmpeg-rockchip/wiki/Compilation

After that run the cmake command for kodi again before make and install.

[Dbosco]

@royk thanks again for your help

 

I've followed the step to build ffmpeg, mpp and rga, but after that i cannot build kodi anymore, and I'm unable to understand where the error is, i suppose that can be related with the configure option of ffmpeg. 

 

i've added these ones:

 

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gpl --enable-gnutls --enable-libass --enable-libfdk-aac --enable-libfreetype  --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopus --enable-libdav1d --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264 --enable-libx265 --enable-nonfree --enable-gpl --enable-libopus --enable-version3 --enable-libdrm --enable-rkmpp --enable-rkrga

 

and this are the results when i grep from ffmpeg

V..... h263_rkmpp           Rockchip MPP (Media Process Platform) H263 decoder (codec h263)

and i've also started from scratch with a different build "Armbian_24.5.0-trunk.434_Orangepi5_noble_vendor_6.1.43_xfce_desktop"

installed panfork, ubuntu, updated the kernel with patches, compiled ffmpeg, mpp and rga, and as last kodi

 

could be related with a ffmpeg bad configuration?

 

thanks

 

 

 

 

 

[royk]

@Dbosco I've no idea what the cause is that you can't build Kodi, but now I see that I also have a dtb overlay enabled.

You can install it with: armbian-add-overlay vop.dts

 

Otherwise you can try my build, but it's built without the cec lib: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1yYlioTYE4X2ItldgcnkgPobLQk1rT6Wb?usp=sharing

 

vop.dts

[Dbosco]

@royk thanks for the build, still i didn't test it but i performed some new tests, using the dist from Joshua Riek as Ubuntu is ready, with GPU, and the Kernel is already patched

 

And same problem with Nexus, but i was able to build Omega and is working fine if in System -> Video i select my TV on not the default option (dunno why), after that i can change the resolution to 1080p and everything is working fine, HDR10, x265, x264, 4k.. all good

although when i start a video the change of resolution is a bit slow and in the Kodi logs i can see an issue with the EDID:

 

2024-04-22 10:53:53.119 T:2038    error <general>: [display-info] Error parsing EDID:

after these messages in can see in the Kodi log that is able to load all the resolutions profiles

 

Don't know if there is a fix for the EDID

 

After installing Omega it create automatically the GBM profile, using that Kodi works, meanwhile if I'm using yours with  the FFMPEG_RKMPP_DEC_OPT="afbc=on" option the video is not showing and Kodi crash

Also, there was an issue with the python IMP module not found that caused some crashes, and addon probs. finally resolved installing python3-zombie-imp
