How to compile an Armbian firmware with 3D acceleration support for Rock-5B RK3588?

[lyh]

The code being compiled is the latest mainline.

My compile command: ./compile.sh build BOARD=rock-5b BRANCH=vendor BUILD_DESKTOP=yes BUILD_MINIMAL=no DESKTOP_APPGROUPS_SELECTED= DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT=gnome DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT_CONFIG_NAME=config_base KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no RELEASE=noble ENABLE_EXTENSIONS=mesa-vpu

It has not been compiled successfully and is stuck here. I am in China and have used a VPN.

 

Sometimes it compiles successfully, but after installation, the 3D acceleration feature is not detected. In the GNOME settings, it shows as LLVM software rendering.

Please provide proper logs with the command suggested at the end of the process.

Every time the compilation stops at mesa-vpu.sh during the build process. Attached is the log of the compilation process. Thank you.

This is how to properly provide logs.

 

Cannot reproduce the issue. Build works just fine: https://paste.armbian.de/otajagegij

https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/.testing/Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_Rock-5b_noble_vendor_6.1.99_gnome_desktop.img.xz

 

 

My best guess is there is some issue reaching the repository due to firewall/vpn.

[lyh]

I have tried compiling on both a new system with Ubuntu 22.04 (x64) and Ubuntu 24.04 (arm64), but it keeps getting stuck at the mesa-vpu stage. I am located in China. Is there a better way to successfully compile it? I was able to compile it normally a few months ago, but now it’s not working.

E: Packages were downgraded and -y was used without --allow-downgrades.

[lyh]

It should be due to my network restrictions. The image compiled using the official Raspberry Pi 5 system is normal. Thank you.

Hey

 

Mesa Repository is currently migrated.

Freedesktops Gitlab setup is moving to a new DC, git checkout of Mesa sourcecode will most likley fail. 

(happend this week to me a bunch of times)

 

"Currently planned outage: 2025-03-16 -> 2025-03-22"

 

Migration Status -> https://maintenance.gitlab.freedesktop.org/

 

should be fixed next week.

 

Kudos
