Introduce ROCK 5B - ARM Desktop level SBC

In this case, it’s less the hardware design than the software design.

Android seems to prefer explicit sync for inter-process synchronisation, whereas Xorg and some Wayland compositors rely only on implicit sync. kbase had some support for implicit sync with older GPUs, but for CSF GPUs like the Mali-G610 it’s completely gone, so only explicit synchronisation through passing sync FDs is possible.

What that means is that compositors have no idea when they can start using a surface passed from an application, and so immediately start rendering. If the application is still rendering then that causes problems, but drivers work around that by effectively doing a glFinish and waiting for rendering to finish before passing the frame on to the compositor. This means that the CPU and GPU cannot work in parallel, which hurts performance a lot.

I think the Wayland blob might work around this problem somehow, but I’m not entirely sure.

(IIRC non-free nvidia drivers also use explicit sync exclusively, which causes a lot of problems.)

I noticed the basics of the rk3588 have been pushed to Linux Next so it will boot and expecting or at least hoping Alyssa & co might be having a look also.
I have seen your posts and great work but much past my knowledge.

I eventually got ArmNN delegate working with their Wav2Letter example which with CpuAcc gets all cores going at about 55%, with the GpuAcc I was sort of confused as maybe a tad faster but all it seemed to do was drop all cores by about 5%, which I found rather underwhelming but maybe my misunderstanding of the G610s ML capability or the manner ArmNN works, but its OpenCl based and maybe that also is lack lustre.
Command Stream Frontend which is a new part of Valhall…
Now I get what the csffw.bin binary is as was wondering why an additional binary to the mali but does that not mean CFS & Driver now run in separate processes?

I just remember the Arm sales blurb that often repeated CSF was to align with Vulkan more hence why that stuck in my head.

It does seem like we are seeing the true capability on Android but so far its just not plumbed in right on Linux… ?

That binary is firmware for a Cortex-M7 MCU that is inside the GPU. It handles a bunch of tasks that the kernel cannot do because of the latency, as it is quite difficult to access GPU memory from the CPU—the memory first needs to be mapped into the kernel address space with the correct attributes, and then every access is slow because there is no coherency with the GPU.

The MCU solves this by sharing an L2 cache with the GPU to get coherency, and including a mechanism for mapping GPU memory into its own address space in just a few nanoseconds. This makes it quite easy to access GPU memory, and is what makes the Command Stream Frontend possible.

Tasks that were previously done on the CPU before job submission can now be handled by the command stream processor, but that processor frequently has to interrupt the MCU to get assistance with handling an instruction. If it had to go all the way to the kernel, then the end result would be worse than the old “Job Manager” GPUs.

(I think that early prototypes of CSF might have used shader cores to try to run the firmware, but I am not very sure. But if that was tried, I bet Arm found out pretty quickly that debugging was too hard. RK3588 actually exposes a standard MCU debugger interface for the GPU, but from the Rock 5 schematics I don’t think it’s very easily accessible. Self-hosted debug works anyhow.)

tkaiser · October 29, 2022, 8:37am

Why exactly? See here for example… If you ask people for lspci output you should mention sudo and/or root as well

hannes-campidell · October 29, 2022, 8:41am

yes i messed up you need to run it with sudo or as root this command should work (and please post the output):

sudo lspci -vv

and sorry

stuartiannaylor · October 29, 2022, 2:38pm

I am not really sure, all I know is that currently the implementation has a 3rd gen Valhall running slower than a 2nd gen Bifrost on a SoC that got criticism of the GPU being quite slow for spec.
Currently the driver in terms of performance is bad as it runs and works, but results are really bad to the levels we should be expecting .
That is with a 1000 Mhz clock rate that must be at the absolute max this thing can run, and 4 generations of increment of some big claims by Arm but it runs slower than a G52mp4 and that is wow bad.

https://developer.arm.com/documentation/102812/0102/GPU-activity?lang=en

I used Armbian in the below due to ppa:liujianfeng1994/panfork-mesa

It means Wayland and is a touch faster now than a g52mp4 but prob still quite a way off what I expected and not exactly sure what driver its using does that use libEGL.so.1 or libEGL_mesa.so.0?
I might have a go with ArmNN again but may end up in dependency hell as dunno if they stopped with 20.04

Doesn’t seem all that stable though.

Etienne · October 29, 2022, 12:35pm

Good to know, pre-ordered mine from allnet on 20th April and still waiting to place my order (for delivery to France too).
This is going to replace my current setup which urgently needs an upgrade and serve as an all purpose machine:

4G + Wifi router
server (development, …)

Just wondering if 8GB version I took will be enough. Are we able to change RAM quantity at ordering time?

hannes-campidell · October 29, 2022, 12:37pm

you cant change the ram quantity at ordering time if the coupon should be still valid
but you can upgrade the ram by soldering on a new set of ram chips WARNING thats very dificoult and could destroy your rock 5b

Etienne · October 29, 2022, 12:38pm

ok will probably avoid upgrading ram for now. but good to know in case I need it in future

hannes-campidell · October 29, 2022, 2:07pm

yes it never hurts to ask

Nirnaeth · October 30, 2022, 10:59am

Hello. Can we still get R3 codes to get discount?

hannes-campidell · October 30, 2022, 1:35pm

No thats not possible anymore

hannes-campidell · October 31, 2022, 7:03am

hello i saw explainingcomputers has posted a video about the rock 5b: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w85QTDPp-4Q
he has a 4GB final 1.42 version

gotzl · October 30, 2022, 7:09pm

Got my device yesterday (ordered March 19 from Allnet). So far very pleased I’ve successfully compiled a Yocto image for it. If s.o. is interested in using Yocto, maybe my meta layer might be helpful.

Jerry_Rocco · October 30, 2022, 7:44pm

Looks like we’re almost at the end of October and still no tracking info yet.

hannes-campidell · October 30, 2022, 8:10pm

yes i am also still waiting on my tracking number

Goetterfunke · October 30, 2022, 9:27pm

You are not alone… I hope that the delivery status will change at any moment…

potter-91 · October 30, 2022, 10:04pm

I have placed my 16GB preorder on the 2nd Feb. at Allnet
Got the code Email on the 18th this month and directly ordered it.
IIRC it was eight days in transit to germany with the cheaper shipping option.

So you will get them - keep calm

Goetterfunke · October 30, 2022, 10:08pm

Yes, it seems allnet customers getting priority over ameridroid customers…

j.memory · October 31, 2022, 4:32am

Excited to get my Rock5… Not excited for having to deal with Ameridroid. First and last time I purchase from them. Not because I don’t have it. It’s because they have no idea what’s going on, and they charged MORE than had I just gone through Allnet. Not to mention how they think they aren’t liable for a purchase if we don’t get their extra route protection. Unfortunate.
