Archlinux on Rock5b

If anyone has the same issue as me with errors saying something like ‘libLLVM.15.so not found’ ; installing the llvm15/clang15 packages and rolling back the lld linker to verison 15.x.x fixed the issued for me:)

it was an archlinux thing, just rebuilt the mesa-panfork-git, 7Ji’s binary repo has already done it, you can also reinstall from there.

note for people who do this only once a year :slight_smile:

decompile dtb to dts with
dtc -I dtb -O dts -f rk3588-rock-5b.dtb -o rk3588-rock-5b.dts
compile with dts to dtb with
dtc -I dts -O dtb -o rk3588-rock-5b.dtb rk3588-rock-5b.dts
cheers

What does this do? Is it not automatically updated?

Does anyone know why ffmpeg-mpp runs slower on bred os from Aur repo? There appears to be a slight lag when changing all media packages to MPP. However the stock ffmpeg pkg runs great from the bred repository though I can’t get kodi to work with Hevc. Is there a possible fix or a solution to get hevc on kodi?

HEVC works when using libmali, at least on X11 kodi from Amazingfate’s repository (not sure how this relates to the Arch kodi).

Has anyone here tried to compile and install linux 6.6-rc6 with panthor?

Not Arch but https://github.com/Joshua-Riek/ubuntu-rockchip/releases said he is going to have look but dunno if anyone has the HDMI working yet WIP.

I also have no idea whats up with the latest in the mainline, ffmpeg is sucking up all the time i have for the last month

I have an Armbian Balbes build with 6.5rc2 and new panthor running Gnome 45 wayland on Ubu Mantic. It is really impressive vs panfork. Faster and sharper even on alpha code.
6.7rc should bring the next jump in quality soon. I did a dist upgrade over top of lunar.
I plan to do a 6.7rc kernel transplant to Arch generic from armbian or whoever gets it built and working with panthor first.

Doesn’t seem that the mainline is getting rkvdec2 support any time soon, as apparently no one is even working on that, so someone better either backport the panthor to 5.10 or coax the mpp interface to work with mainline.

I recently build 6.6-rc7 from Andy’s source which have upstreamable hdmi so once it’s more stable i will try to port panthor from collabora source.

I am excited for the gpu support on rk3588.

I used it on Manjaro which is Arch based

I am currently using the balbes 6.5rc2 linux kernel and panthor repo at mesa-panfrost on my Rock5 for a LFS KDE Plasma6 alpha build. :slight_smile: I’m almost ready to fire it up. I care much much more about panthor than vdec atm.
Spikerguy: Please post when Manjaro has an arm builder script tested and working for a 6.7rc and mesa-panthor build like my LFS above. Closest profile there is opi5 which I dont trust to work.

Panthor uses a Kernel side CSF than the current user side, so it has direct access to hardware and is faster.
So dunno how much that is to port into the kernel as there has been much work with CSF of other vendors also. Think newer Intel also have a (Command Stream Frontend).
My memory is hazy but seem to remember the GPU load with panfork never got to 100%.
Really I am only waiting HDMI and Panthor and will switch to mainline as not really a desktop user and if AV1 only is no bother.

I am sure balbes is maintaining a kennel source by cherry picking the patching which is good.

I plan to do the same but it takes a lot of time.

i started experimenting panthor, if i have a working kernel + mesa good enough i will share the pkgs/pkgbuilds.

next plan is to migrate mpp+rga to mainline kernel from rkr6.1, may be even dkms module could be possible, but first thing first, lets get the kernel+mesa running first

or may be someone already had a working pkgbuild?

All aarch64 packages on the AUR are being deleted, so where can I find the PKGBUILD’s now?

I’ve quickly copied my packages, and for now I have my packages here:

ericwoud/archlinuxarm-repo: My ArchlinuxArm Packages (github.com)

Where I put every package in it’s own branch. Then I can clone with ‘–single-branch’

yeah AUR maintainers are deleting the repos which has only arm build options. Therefore we moved to

7Ji has already a build system and a binary repo to build all of those, instructions are below. If you are interested we can ask to migrate your packages as well. He seems very cooperative.

So you’re not using linux-rockchip-rk3588-bin any more? I guess that one originated from armbian?

It is here, https://github.com/7Ji-PKGBUILDs/linux-radxa-rkbsp5-bin, i am using it. why? it is not originated from armbian. It is based on radxa’s debos
