Archlinux on Rock5b

If you scroll up you will see that kodi-mpp is available on the AGR repo.

Otherwise you can also install kodi-rpi but it may not work with hardware acceleration.

Dear @Mangled
thank you for the information I searched the topic but somehow I missed it sorry.
Regards,

Massive update in agr 0.1.0.

image

  • up to 10x speed improvement
  • up to 3x disk usage reduced
  • a lot of improvements.

to update simply agr update --agr

if you are running old version you can delete the old package cache with rm -rf ~/.agr/packages to make use of reduced file sizes, this will delete all built packages in cache (ofc installed packages wont be affaceted) so next build might again require some time.

Updated agr 0.1.0 is not working anymore.
Uli

Umm, how is it not working? What is the issue you have after updating?

I updated agr and it works fine for me.

Probably show the output of
agr rem list
agr

I removed with rm -rf ~/.agr/packages and updated with agr update --agr
agr rem list shows nothing.

Was the agr stuck and you stopped with ctrl+c?

In any case could you provide the output of:

pacman -Qi

i need the full output.

agr was stopped with ctrl+c.
Output of pacman -Qi :slight_smile:

could you try to run with below

LC_ALL=en_US agr

i think it is becase your installation is in german, any agr was too lazy to handle multilanguage output.

EDIT: nevermind it wont work, i will put an update to fix the issue

LC_ALL=en_US agr

The should fix that vp9 dec error.

Hello all,
has anyone erxperienc with joschua riecks kernel with panthor support ?
Has someone installed it ?
Any information appreciated.
Uli

Yes it works. So here is the news:

Added a new package which has mainline panthor GPU driver on rockchip 6.10 bsp. Below is the kernel package.

linux-aarch64-rockchip-bsp6.1-joshua-panthor-git

it works with mesa-panfrost-git (not panfork) package which is the mainline mesa built with only panfrost driver

So you need to replace both kernel and mesa to get panthor working on rockchip bsp.

Additionally.

added Collabora’s mainline linux kernel with package below

linux-aarch64-rk3588-collabora-git

this also works with mesa-panfrost-git

for both, Wayland works pretty good, mpp works great on rockchip bsp, but mainline does not have mpp or proper media acceleration, other than that mainline kernel is also pretty damn good including hdmi.

Mainline mesa seems to have some performance issues on native X11 so i would not suggest using X11 with mainline things, use wayland instead.

all availbale in agr repo

Ehm… idk but does that mean vulkan for linux is already (or soon) working? I have lost track of everything graphics related…

Edit: I will answer myself real quick (updated 5th of March this year):
" The current Panthor driver supports OpenGL ES, but work in the Vulkan API has also started and we may get a release by the end of the year. Besides the driver itself, Collabora will also work on tools for the 3rd gen Valhall GPUs such as performance counters, support for devcoredump, and command stream tracing. Deeper technical details about the implementation of the Panthor driver can be found in an earlier post on Collabora with information about the new Command Stream Frontend and the new uAPI."

pantfrost vulkan driver is compiled, but it wont run anything, currently it is potato, but you can have it instantly which agr update when collbora releases something

Where can I find the PKGBUILD?

the repo

you can use agr:

or build it yourself, note that to self-build you need additional gitweb-dlagent. with agr it is auto-managed.
