I'm very suprised with the Rock 5

#1

I’ve got my board yesterday and installed the Debain XFCE Version on a NVMe on it. It boots very fast und the first impression is very, very good. Faster than I thought.
Next steps are customizing (Language, Software). How can I test if the GPU acceleration is working?

Beside these topics I want to install UEFI for testing the board with Fedora. I think Fedora needs this kind of Boot-Manager. Is https://github.com/edk2-porting/edk2-rk35xx the correct link to jump in ?

Thanks
Andreas

The UEFI implementation we current have is super-alpha quality. HDMI and USB not working properly so it is not useful for daily basis but only good for development.

Okay, thanks for the feedback. I will have a look on these implementation and how it’s working.

Hello,
How can I test if the GPU acceleration is working? I’ve done these steps


at my Debian system. I hope that this howto from Ubuntu also works an Debian.

Thanks
Andreas
