HDMI Schedule

[perelax]

I have a couple Orange Pi's, and the HDMI is broken.  I noticed that many believe that it is Armbian, but it is not.  Orange Pi's probably won't be where we want them until 2025.  I found a couple notes from development teams, one below and one from September.  Both say the same thing:  essentially it's in the works:

"The RK3588 SoC family integrates the newer Synopsys DesignWare HDMI 2.1 Quad-Pixel (QP) TX controller IP and a HDMI/eDP TX Combo PHY based on a Samsung IP block.

Add just the basic support for now, i.e. RGB output up to 4K@60Hz, without audio, CEC or any of the HDMI 2.1 specific features."

describes the current overview of collabora RK3588 efforts, which are going into the mainline kernel as things become available. But there is also a

vendor kernel for opi5+, which is currently at 6.1 and includes working HDMI: incl. audio, kde plasma 1080p or 4k with kodi hwaccel is what I use.

 

Using the armbian build framework you can prepare images with the features you need and the underlying ubuntu and linux kernel version (and many other settings) to suit your requirements.

 

If you could share some details about your needs we may be able to help further.
