I have the latest armbian 6.1.75-vendor-rk35xx (ubuntu with gnome desktop) installed and everything works perfectly except that some videos are hanging in chromium. In dmesg I get [23230.260311] [drm:rockchip_vop2_mod_supported] *ERROR* Esmart0-win0 unsupported format modifier 0x800000000000351 and then boom, the whole thing stops playing and hangs. No other error anywhere. This happens with specific mp4 videos on specific frames. Any suggestions?

The overlay for the ap6275p seems to be missing in the new fresh 6.10 images. Haven't tried to compile a custom image yet (so might just be disabled in current build), but how could I help to bring this overlay to the official image?

Figured it out - somehow my /lib/modules/5.10.x were not compatible with my boot image that I pulled from the latest 24.2 image. I copied the /lib/modules/5.10.160-legacy-rk35xx from working armbian image to my system and wifi is back

I upgraded my 5.10 install to 6.1 kernel got everything working including wifi using armbian-config - change kernel but after I noticed that video acceleration was broken with vlc I decided to rollback. The initial rollback somehow failed, after some tweaking, I've been able to boot the system again and run kernel 5.1 but now I don't have my ap6275 working anymore and the video acceleration modules from 5.x seem to be gone. I have the overlay for the ap6275 but it is not loading any module. What am I missing?

I finally got wifi working on a fresh install of 24.5.1. Video acceleration is working perfectly in Chromium but I am not having any luck playing h264 mp4 videos with hardware acceleration in vlc or mpv. Is this possible or am I missing something? CPU is around ~30% with chromium playing 4k youtube but if I play one of my mp4 files it's a solid 130%

Would you know by any chance what is missing to have this one show up in the hardware section in armbian-config? In 6.1, there are only two options available. Or is this a pre-release thing? I will try that other change for the 6.8 to enable it, but any reason this is not included in the current build?

I tried both the 6.8.10 and 6.1.43 releases from CI pipeline and none of these has the ap6275p wifi option in the armbian-config tool. There was a previous post that mentioned that the module got merged for the new kernels but is there an ETA to have this one in the CI releases? I'm curious to try vlc but haven't been able to install that one yet with the new releases.

Wifi works flawlessly with recent image. Includes Link Quality and Signal Level

OMG Thank you!!! Yes this works. This is very exciting, so glad to have a recent image working on the opiz3

I tried the uboot with the same image you mentioned. Something is definitely happening, I see red and green lights flashing however there is nothing on my hdmi output, no shell or nothing else. Am I missing something?

This is awesome. Would you be able to share the uboot bin file to start? Also PR to the community build would be super useful but I suspect there is a bit more to figure out. I did some digging around the builds and was not able to figure out where the u-boot thing was happening. Would the OPI Zero 3 1.5G be a separate configuration? Sounds like it needs to be a separate build and configuration (until more uboot magic can be figured out). Also this doesn't look like a regular patch if a u-boot bin needs to be applied.

Any chances you guys could share your images? Been struggling getting a recent image to boot with my 1.5Gb one. only the old official Debian images work. One of the github links from Orange PI provides a bin uboot for the 1.5Gb but I had no luck with that. leeboby/opizero3-uboot-dtb: 保存opizero3 1.5gb和4gb版本的开发板linux6.x系统需要替换的u-boot和dtb文件 (github.com)

Is this to add support for ap6275p in the 6.x kernel series? Was going to ask the same question

Been trying to play 4k youtube videos with VLC and I haven't had any luck with vp09 and mp4 files. Is VP9 supported with 24.2.1 + kernel 5.10.160? I have no issues with hardware decoding of mp4/h264 in vlc but is vp9 hardware decoding possible? Browser seems to play youtube in 4k but not sure which codec it is using

I haven't tried Jammy with 6.1.43 but the kernel doesn't say rc anymore so curious of the status. How does this build compare in terms of feature and performance with 5.10? Is all the video decoding supported? The RK3588 Kernel support page says that hdmi audio is not supported - is that really the case? Is gnome/wayland supported? I see that only KDE is listed there.

Had same issue - I had to change the HDMI signal to 2.0 Enhanced

in the past I had a script to power on/off my TV through home assistant. The CEC supports putting devices in sleep and waking them up. If this works in Kodi then the standard kernel interface is available in Armbian. The important part is the hardware support - very few devices support sending CEC data but if Kodi can change input and turn on/off already, then we should be all good with Armbian and OPI5.

My current TV doesn't have CEC but I'm planning to replace it with something that has CEC support and would really like to automate the on/off thing... Is cec-utils supported or is there an alternate kernel API?

This is amazing!!!! Is Wayland supported yet? I'll give this a shot once all these updates make it to the official pre-release images.

I ended up doing source install... had to redo it couple times to include ncurses and sqlite. Followed these guides How to Compile and Install Python 3.12 / 3.10 in Debian 11 / 12 - FOSTips How To Install Python 3.12 on Ubuntu, Debian, & LinuxMint (tecadmin.net)

I'm trying to update python on my armbian bookworm to 3.12 but I cannot find any packages for bookworm. I regret not going with the ubuntu one now 😕 because that one has the deadsnake packages. Any known alternatives? (beside compiling your own packages)
