I think it possible to put in in all distrib  :

https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=140&t=30724&p=229393#p229393

 

but it take long time to me ... if some one want to help he is welcome ...

The latest version of Armbian with kernel 4.18 is based on patches (and developments) that Ely writes about (this is one of the developers I wrote you about).

Thank's !!! i will test it now !

I have a S09W 1G , so i need a gxl_p281_1g.dtb  to meson-glxp281_1g.dtb ? ( no find in the new img Armbian_5.44_S9xxx_Ubuntu_bionic_4.18.0-rc5_server_20180719.img.xz )

Wait awhile. Recently I was sent a test sample with S905w (x96), soon I plan to create and check dtb file for s905w.

OK thank's again

I post the howto compile but don't ffmpeg aml don"t with with this version

@balbes150 , do you have some news on the dtb ?

The reason is not dtb. To build FFMPEG for kernel 4.18 (using v4l-m2m), you need to use the sources and patches of FFMPEG that are part of the Libreelec build.

 

Mali7 packages are not needed, they are only for kernel 3.14

yes i but i need to boot on kernel 4.18 and at this moment i can only boot in 3.14.29 ,

when i try Armbian_5.44_S9xxx_Ubuntu_bionic_4.18.0-rc5_server_20180719.img.xz the box don't start. ( i suppose dtb of S905W not present )

What model of TV box do you have ?

S905W ( x96 mini )

I was sent this model 2\16 for tests. I have on this model, the image (from the kernel-4.18 directory), works with the dtb file for Khadas VIM1 (test video works with sound). But there is a nuance to run versions with DE Mate\Xfce. After the initial setup, when the system automatically reboots, wait at least 5-7 minutes, at this time the screen will be black, then use the combination Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to the first (text) console, and then switch back to the graphical console Ctrl+Alt+F7 and wait 2-3 minutes. After such manipulation should earn DE. Write me in PM your email address, I will send you a link to the image LE kernel 4.18, which is already partially working ffmpeg with HW via v4l-m2m. This image works for me on X96mini as well. It is possible to take the files you need to port to Armbian.

If I'm not confused, does the WP2 use the s905 chip ? For this chip images LE with the kernel 4 collects Chewitt and other developers in the community LE (I have no model WP2 for test build) .

 

and i am going to test with your explain

i send you mp with my email for the img included ffmpeg with v4l2m2m aml

 

Nothing with this img, but i use ffmpeg with ffmpeg v4l2m2m for my Odroid  Xu4 :

h264_v4l2m2m @ 0x54f910] driver 's5p-mfc' on card 's5p-mfc-enc'
[h264_v4l2m2m @ 0x54f910] driver 's5p-mfc' on card 's5p-mfc-dec'
[h264_v4l2m2m @ 0x54f910] Using device /dev/video10

 

mfc :

https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/s5p-mfc.txt

 

I think it's the same use but with another 'drivers' ...

 

I boot !

i start ffmpeg v4.01 compil

wp2 is s905

so with : Armbian_5.44_S9xxx_Ubuntu_bionic_4.18.0-rc5_server_20180727.img.xz

dtb.img with p281 dtb

 

OK to compile i add some time -j4 and some time -j3

because the swap don't work and the system freeze -j3 use less memory ( ihave only 1GB )

if you have a trouble (freeze) to compile something :

in th rep of the compil
mc -e C.sh
put the compil
chmod 755 C.sh
in console (not ssh, not in telnet ) lanch
./C.sh &

 

i add "--enable-hardcoded-table" to have some cpu gain

 

i don't put x265 (i must have an eyes on the errors after if you want it , add --enable-libx265 at the ffmpeg compile at the end )

i am waitind the end of the ffmpeg compile ...

(  all compile take one hour )

for the moment when i try :

ffmpeg -vcodec h264_v4l2m2m -i http://192.168.1.50:8001/+1:0:19:401:4:20FA:EEEE0000:0:0:0: -s 320x240 /tmp/test.mp4

i have :

[h264_v4l2m2m @ 0xaaaaf7fa4c30] Could not find a valid device
[h264_v4l2m2m @ 0xaaaaf7fa4c30] can't configure decoder

 

I have check for what v4l2m2m don't find aml device and i come back

Same error with other compile

[h264_v4l2m2m @ 0xaaab1c00f9d0] Could not find a valid device
[h264_v4l2m2m @ 0xaaab1c00f9d0] can't configure decoder

[AVIOContext @ 0xaaab1c02d110] Statistics: 0 seeks, 0 writeouts
[AVIOContext @ 0xaaab1bff4b60] Statistics: 3277048 bytes read, 0 seeks

 

How i can check if the kernel have the good change ?

I don't see a /dev/vdeoxx

normal :

i don't have /lib/firmware/meson/gxbb/

so i must check to install it

ok i try libreelec 9.XX but no ffmpeg included.

i try to ibstall but i have message :

os.libreelec.tv Unavailable

i continue the install and restart

i try again

[h264_v4l2m2m @ 0x1d65760] Could not find a valid device
[h264_v4l2m2m @ 0x1d65760] can't configure decoder

  Stream #0:1 -> #0:1 (eac3 (native) -> aac (native))
Error while opening decoder for input stream #0:0 : Invalid argument

 

So librelec don't use the v4l2m2m aml drivers too ...

 

i put the ffmpeg of libreelec option ( very optimized !)

little chat with some vip :

so kernel need

V4L2 Video Support

         Amlogic v4l video device support = M

         Amlogic v4l video2 device support = yes

 

but is not enough ...

 

look for more info ...

 

the main source is here :

I think i find

in the precompiled kernel of the test :

http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=14478364111643420975

we have :

firmware\meson\gxbb

with files :

h263_mc

vh264_mc

vmpeg4_mc_5

vmpeg12_mc

so im shure we need it.

 

AND

i find it here :

but not in my sd car , i try to put it directly and make the test ...

 

i come back with more info.

so downlaod firmware from :

so create dir :

not shure of this :

But it don't work ( it don't call the firmware )

 

 

@balbes150

i think

https://github.com/Elyotna/linux/tree/4.18/amlogic-v4l2-m2m/drivers/media/platform/meson

and

https://github.com/150balbes/Amlogic_s905-kernel/tree/master/drivers/media/platform/meson

have some minor change if i don't find it, could i try to compil only meson ?

if yes could gou give a way ?

or i can compile the kernel :

https://github.com/Elyotna/linux

 

But could you help me ? ( it's my firts kernel compil )

 

i try :

sudo apt-get -y install bc curl gcc git libssl-dev libncurses5-dev lzop make u-boot-tools

make menuconfig

make -j3 ( in console)

On behalf of which user do you run the tests ? By default, only "root" has access to devices.

But could you help me ? ( it's my firts kernel compil )

On the PC you need to use cross-compilation, it is easier to run the build on the TV box itself using the configuration from the /boot directory.

ok for Khadas_vim.dtb, i try it now

 

I make all test on root ( for devices )

 

For cross compilation i must find an how to make it ( i think use a vm with 10 cpu and 20 Go ram it could be enough for start )
