Hello Armbian community,
I am writing this topic because, despite the drivers for the processor's integrated GPU are installed within the operating system, they do not seem to work properly.
Precisely the system seems to work but as soon as I try to play a video it is played by the CPU and not by the GPU with lag and the CPU is at 100%.
I leave the link and the attachment of the result of the armbianmonitor -U command that I posted here: 

https://paste.debian.net/1337993/

it is a compressed tar.gz file since I included all the results of the command

You need a video player that supports video acceleration. Mali support works as otherwise you would not be able to run Wayland.

Hi Igor, Thanks for getting back to me.
Could you tell me more about what  do you mean for?

I've installed a lot of them, so I'll list them for you:

• Celluloid, a bit jerky, cpu not stressed
• Dragon Player, doesn't work the application is running but when I select the files it doesn't open them
• mpv media player, jerky, cpu more stressed celluloid 
• smplayer, the best, but struggles again in 4k
• vlc media player, worst, cpu 100%

I'm hoping that at least one of these is compatible with the type of video acceleration I need.

So are you saying that KDE Plasma with Wayland can't use the processor to be rendered?

 

 

 

I can see that after multiples update that the situation for the video acceleration seems to be better in full HD not in 4K, could you help me to understand how? In addition I'd like to add that I'm still getting problems with my Bluetooth keyboard and touch-pad being laggy especially when there is Ethernet traffic ongoing, i don't know if the bus of the Ethernet, the WiFi and Bluetooth card is shared in this SBC. Could you explain me how can i monitor this problem ? to conclude this morning I got a new packages issue, I runned the command "sudo armbianmonitor -u" and i pubblished the results to: https://paste.armbian.com/geyahoxavi 

unfortunately, your board has no maintainer in Armbian, it is only supported by the community

@laibsch thank you for reaching out. I apologize for the delay in responding.

I want to inform you that I am actively seeking assistance from the community and am willing to contribute by developing code to address the issues I've observed on this board.

However, despite my efforts to engage with the community, I have not received any responses and am not sufficiently experienced to thoroughly troubleshoot and resolve these problems on my own.

Although I have some knowledge of programming languages, I am not well-versed in Linux.

For example, this morning, I suggested a potential solution to the Bluetooth issue on the IRC channel but received no feedback.

For the GPU, it appears that acceleration is now present, as the CPU is no longer at 100%. However, I am unable to set the resolution to 4K without encountering screen artifacts, and I can only achieve Full HD resolution.
