Some info could be useful for someone: I was able to make GPU working on my XU4 board using this Debian image: https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=96&t=44932

And I'm also not the one who "knows this stuff". I'm a linux user and user-space developer. I know nothing about kernel space, drivers, etc. Also not that much into linux system internals in general. If I knew how to do the stuff, I' would perhaps spend some of my time to support this. But since I'm not into "this stuff" it would take years from me to learn all this, which is not possible at this point for me. So yeah, it is quite unlikely that the hypothetical "enthusiast" will ever appear .

Unfortunately, I'm not the one dedicated enthusiast with plenty of time, my time is very limited. So, I'd wait for such an enthusiast to appear too :). I'd even donate one of my Odroid XU4 boards to that potential enthusiast, who would add GPU support to Armbian.

That's unfortunate that it did not make it to the mainline

To me it looks like the GPU is not working. After installing Armbian (I tried both, minimal and with desktop env), everything works, but graphics does not look like accelerated. Running glmark2 gives quite low FPS counts. Also it reports GL Vendor as Mesa/Xorg, i.e. not the GPU. Any help on how to make GPU work would be welcome!

Installing `libegl1` makes weston run, but GPU is not used, rendering is done via software mesa.

Hi, I'm trying to run weston on Odroid XU4, but it does not start. Seems something is wrong with GPU drivers. I have installed "Armbian 25.2.1 Bookworm Minimal" image and then installed weston via apt. Then, trying to run the weston fails with error: Date: 2025-04-13 UTC [13:47:44.248] weston 10.0.1 https://wayland.freedesktop.org Bug reports to: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/issues/ Build: 10.0.1 [13:47:44.249] Command line: weston [13:47:44.249] OS: Linux, 6.6.81-current-odroidxu4, #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Dec 30 15:59:39 UTC 2024, armv7l [13:47:44.249] Flight recorder: enabled [13:47:44.249] Starting with no config file.
