Custom Build ot working completly

[msita]

Hi Guys,
 Here is my requirements for an electron app running Armbian OS on orangepi5 plus to support:

1. Need GPU hardware acceleration  to play video
2. Need HDMI audio
3. And possible NPU support.
    

I really need help, I did lots of custom builds to find solution support all my above requirement and I found Armbian-unofficial_25.08.0-trunk_Orangepi5-plus_noble_edge_6.16.0-rc7_cinnamon_desktop.img. But my electron add crashes after running say 8 hrs or so, means it is not very stable for us

I did try other custom build as below, but either they are lacking HDMI audio or GPU hardware acceleration.


Please help with this.
Thanks

Vendor kernel 6.1.y with mesa-vpu extension https://github.com/armbian/os/blob/main/userpatches/targets-extensions.map#L58 (with patched Chromium) is the only way to come close to what you want.

 

Only this:

[msita]

@Igor: Hi 
Thanks for the response. 
I did get what you mean when you said "Vendor kernel 6.1.y with mesa-vpu extension https://github.com/armbian/os/blob/main/userpatches/targets-extensions.map#L58 (with patched Chromium) "
Because I did try Above and I guess it is lacking either HDMI or GPU requirement. I will again test it.
but now sure what you mean about extension. Do I need try to build that kernel version?
Is below what you mean (from chat gpt)
 

🛠️ Option 1: Easiest Path — Use Prebuilt Stable Image

Use this image (you already have it or download from Armbian):

✅ Armbian_25.5.1_Orangepi5-plus_bookworm_vendor_6.1.115_cinnamon-backported-mesa_desktop.img.xz

Then, add the patched Chromium + mesa-vpu extension manually (I'll show you how in a moment).

Edited July 30 by msita

[Werner]

./compile.sh BOARD=orangepi5-plus BRANCH=vendor RELEASE=noble ENABLE_EXTENSIONS=mesa-vpu

or something like that for an image with this extension built-in.

There is no method to install this on a existing system (yet).

[msita]

 I did download it


and burn a SD with it



found it does have HDMI 



and Mali/Panfrost, which support Hardware acceleration, but it is make some weird noise as I started configuration. Not sure what is that



So not sure why I need to patch it

Edited July 30 by msita

[msita]

@Werner Thanks 
let me try that 
But not sure why I hear that sound (check audio clip) and why screen os not full screen when OS loads.
even if I disable the sound I still can here this weird sound.
Thanks
Manish

Auy idea why my electron app crashes running on branch edge release noble custom build with below error

The error message looks pretty straight-forward to me.  I suggest you have a look at your certs.  Sounds like a generic issue not related to Armbian in any way whatsoever.

[msita]

I was talking a out GPU error not certificate error

still looks like a cert error to me ("handshake failed").  but maybe somebody else can see something else.

why screen os not full screen when OS loads

When auto login is enabled, this is how it starts - its in "show all screens" mode. I don't know how to fix this - its some Gnome settings / it doesn't bother me as click of a mouse to the empty space solves it.

 

I saw you are trying Debian variant. Here it might be better to stick to Ubuntu based - its more polished. 

Weird beep you are experiencing - I haven't tested this HW for awhile, but so far I didn't notice it. Dunno where that is coming from.

[msita]

@Igor Thanks.  
The weird noise is resolved. It was HDMI cable.

it's by design, you can try an extension such as: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4099/no-overview/

Do you perhaps know how we could integrate this into Armbian? I don't know much about Gnome internals - came this far:

I don't know much, I enabled it as a test, but I like the overview, as I have my favorites easily run as soon as I log into gnome.

 

Maybe we could do: download it to /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ and then run gnome-extensions enable no-overview@fthx.

 

Here's a draft script that may be useful for the ones that want that:

 

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/fthx/no-overview.git
NO_OVERVIEW=$(jq -r .uuid no-overview/metadata.json)
mkdir -p /usr/share/gnome-shell/$NO_OVERVIEW
gnome-extensions enable $NO_OVERVIEW 

 

Does that help?

Yes, that's the idea I guess. I played around a bit, but could not enable it with the script ... yet.

This part didn't work for you?

Quote

gnome-extensions enable no-overview@fthx

 

It was cool that if I had Extension Manager running I could see the toggle turning on and off as I enable/disable.

 

Also, I had to fully reboot to see it working.

No, nothing happened. When I tell 

 

gnome-extensions list

 

it return empty. On my x86 desktop running Noble Gnome.

[ricardo_brz]

Ok, that draft was way more complicated than it should and there's an easier way, also we need to logout and login again for the extension to show. Is it a problem if we restart GNOME shell during install? 

 

Here's a better script:

 

  1 #!/bin/bash
  2 git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/fthx/no-overview.git
  3 NO_OVERVIEW=$(jq -r .uuid no-overview/metadata.json)
  4 gnome-extensions pack no-overview
  5 gnome-extensions install $NO_OVERVIEW.shell-extension.zip
  6 # Restart GNOME shell
  7 gnome-extensions enable $NO_OVERVIEW

 

in line 6, I found the following: https://github.com/brunelli/gnome-shell-extension-installer/blob/4357903be8646d940902852bf3e150f625e350e6/gnome-shell-extension-installer#L288

This is not doable in Wayland from what I read around... so this will install, and the user will have to enable it manually.
