Mallikarjun Modi Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago Hello, I am trying to enable Panfrost GPU acceleration on a new Armsom Sige5 board running the latest edge kernel (6.1.115), but glxinfo -B still shows llvmpipe. I have been troubleshooting this for some time and have discovered that the kernel module (panfrost.ko) loads correctly with modprobe, but it is not binding to the GPU hardware on boot. I believe I have found the reason why. A recent commit to the Armbian build system (https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/836def3d11699537e6289dedfbc766c2050d422d) changes the method for enabling Panfrost. It removes the panfrost overlay and adds KERNEL_TARGET_CONFIG="panfrost-all" instead. It appears that the current edge kernel available through armbian-config does not yet include this essential fix. Can you please advise when a kernel with this change will be available for download, or if there is a manual way I can apply this fix? Thank you. 0 Quote
laibsch Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago @Igor is probably in the best position to answer when a new image for your board might be available. 2 hours ago, Mallikarjun Modi said: or if there is a manual way I can apply this fix This is actually fairly easy to do by building your own image: "git clone https://github.com/armbian/build.git;cd build;./compile.sh" https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Building-with-Docker/ https://evilolaf.github.io/docupreview/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQcEFsXEJEE 0 Quote
