Mainline support for RockPi 4?

#62

I have just been trying and dunno as since Mesa 19.1.1 I had to compile the Master 19.1.2
Which worked but Manjaro have released 5.2 & 19.1.2 as it came out yesterday and it seems like a reversion or what I was compiling missed the deadline.

I am just going to compile mesa & drm one more time and the Master (latest) again.

PS you have to remove fbturbo driver to force panfrost

If you sudo pacman -Ss fbturbo
That will search for the package as I can never remember its full name

sudo pacman -R fbturbo whatever

reboot and the KMS driver should be loaded

pacman -S bc python-pip flex bison base-devel ncurses cmake xorg-util-macros
pip install scikit-build mako meson ninja

Yeah master works but also did drm.

Quick run down as the above is for a debian/ubuntu or something

sudo pacman -S bc python-pip flex bison base-devel ncurses cmake xorg-util-macros
sudo pip install scikit-build mako meson ninja
git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/drm.git --depth=1
cd drm
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr
make -j6
sudo make install
cd ..
git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa.git --depth=1
cd mesa
mkdir build
meson -Ddri-drivers= -Dvulkan-drivers= -Dgallium-drivers=panfrost,kmsro -Dlibunwind=false -Dplatforms=x11,drm,surfaceless -Dprefix=/usr build/
ninja -C build/
sudo ninja -C build/ install

As long as you removed the fbturbo package reboot and there you go

Dunno if that is me compiling glmark2 from aur wrong or panfrost.

libdrm in the manjaro arm repo seemed to be the latest code. Mesa 19.1 on the other hand was developed on a separate branch than master for over a month now according to the gitlab repo.

I’ll try building latest mesa from AUR first with “pamac build mesa-git”.

#65

BTW I have been having wifi issues the whole night, after some package downgrading I believe the latest kernel linux-aarch64 (5.2.0-1) is the culprit. I have switched back to linux-aarch64-rc (5.2.0-rc7-4) for the moment.

#66

It maybe you on the manjaro forum tony? I think we are at the bleeding edge but the devs are really quick to respond.

I don’t use wifi really, but will try.

#67

Yep that was me, too bad wifi is also bugged on rc7, albeit lasting a little longer (2 hours) before stopped functioning.

The good news is I got panfrost working, like you said, all it takes is to install the latest mesa (built from git for now, 19.2 from repo after August) and remove the xf86-video-fbturbo-odroid-c2-git package.

Here is my log from glmark2-es2, this is the x11-glesv2 flavor I built from git. Off screen framerates were all messed up, but on screen tests seemed to be running okay, until it crashed at the shadow test (unfinished feature in panfrost maybe?).

I must of made a mess of things somewhere as originally I was running the above 2014 ver from Aur
Direct from github I had probs compiling and prob over complicated things.

@tonyunreal

I have been googling the Mesa teams latest panfrost efforts that seems to have a lot of focus with wayland.
So rebuilt mesa -b master and went through and even optional dependencies installed them apart from dlopen as not sure what or which package.

@tonyunreal dunno about wifi as connected and been running for a couple of hours, couple of reboots.

No problem here? So far anyway.

It might be the panfrost crashes as whatever happens its seems then to effect shutdown at least.

I did notice this though

You might be clashing with other channels and have a limited set of alternatives hence why I am OK and you are not?

@tonyunreal Nah been trying to break it and have.

Heavy throughput does it pretty quick, ssh it doesn’t really fail.

wifi-coexistence

The BCM43* series chips are notorious for problems when both wifi and bluetooth are used at the same time. This coexistence issue comes in varying degrees of severity but for most users makes using the Pi in bluetooth A2DP mode while also using wifi impossible. Bluetooth buffer underruns are caused by sharing the UART device, resulting in skipping, popping, hissing, and generally unusable audio. For some users, this also effects peripherals such as mice and keyboards. A firmware fix was found for both the Pi3 and Pi ZeroW, discussion of this fix can be found in this github issue.

To deploy the fix to the current firmware in Arch add the following lines:

btc_mode=1
btc_params8=0x4e20
btc_params1=0x7530

to the end of these firmware config files:

/usr/lib/firmware/updates/brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.txt

/usr/lib/firmware/updates/brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.txt

This fix can be found in this git commit. The fix is experimental and is not yet deployed to the upstream package

glmark doesn’t crash halfway on x11 anymore, though it did seem to skip some tests (shadow & refract).

Big increase on the wayland glmark2 but its really strange as wayland does actually feel really snappy and fast.

But with 19.2.0+ its looking really really good for panfrost as the devs have said they have done zero optimisation as of yet and quite a bit could be done but there focus is purely completing the various working api’s.

The bluetooth and wifi is the broadcom that is on the raspberry
https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv6/raspberry-pi

Bluetooth

firmware

To be able to talk to the bluetooth chip, you must install the services, firmware, and UDEV rules. The pi-bluetooth package from the AUR is available to do this.

The firmware is prob correct but prob in need of some parameter tinkering

Posted this as an update to the earlier report from @Antram .

Currently on the mainline 5.2 kernel, we have the support of:

video out: 1080p 60hz or lower resolutions only

gpu acceleration: [mesa 19.2 required] most tests in glmark2-es2 passing with decent framerates, fluid x11 & wayland desktop experience (with minor hiccups)

video decoding: 1080p h264 plays fine with mpv, no 4k or hevc support (software decoders only?)

audio out: [manjaro patched] hdmi audio only (no es8316 analog audio)

wifi & bt: [manjaro patched, ap6256-firmware package required] working, with heavy regressions (see posts above)

ethernet: working (though I only measured up to 200Mbps)

usb 2.0: working

usb 3.0: only the bottom port works (the upper port is wrongly flagged as otg in kernel 5.2, see posts above for custom kernel fix)

emmc: working

nvme ssd: not working

Yeah I keep wondering why no one from radxa is pushing any pcie dts to mainline uboot & kernel.
There isn’t anything even though Pine have.
So it aint defo going to work.

I think actually video might be 2k 1440p as pretty sure I have played back 2k but 4k not a chance.
But 1080p is good.
Again that is mesa and vpau? something like that doh! my memory

Totally forgot about the usb3.0 otg keep plugging my mouse in it and then momentary angst as done it again dunno what it is when something doesn’t work that makes it more likely you will pick it.

In 5.2 the manjaro guys tried to patch hdmi audio and wifi the actual mainline stuff is 5.3 and fingers crossed as its already been there for some time that when linux next becomes 5.3-rc1 then it will be up and running.

But pcie I see as hugely important as so many have chosen the nvme ssd option and see nothing and its will be down to patches on mainline unless something is pushed fairly quickly to mainline.

PS check https://1drv.ms/u/s!AocmAh35i26QiUjEeJEX4zboMH1X wayland gnome as its surprised me as I am running via sd card but with some quick storage I am thinking this is the first sbc that runs gnome that is tolerable.
I will remember to trim and do more disk cleaning before I create a disk image next time as its pretty big with bloat but just try it in terms of use.
Still has all the horrid boot errors that cause delay but once up and running its a surprise.

#75

Added the info about video decoding to my post above.

As for the desktop experience, I don’t know about Gnome 3 (can’t stand it for a while), but the current Manjaro lxqt is way more fluid than the Debian/Ubuntu images Radxa provided. I spent two days with the Debian Strech image, while everything works including proper support for 4k / QHD video out, the desktop applications is too unresponsive and the Internet browsers are way worse.

#76

Yeah if you look in mesa/blob/master/meson_options.txt

It could purely be the build options and hardware accel could be there just dunno if or what has been done.

Ps this is the best option

option(
‘I-love-half-baked-turnips’,
type : ‘boolean’,
value : false,
description : ‘Allow work-in-progress freedreno vulkan driver to be enabled’,
)

Desktop wise I am the same also didn’t like KDE but seems like they have all become fluid and capable of lower hardware.
Suggestion was just to give a test drive as Gnome3 on a sbc!!! preposterous :slight_smile: Quite interesting not a fan but think it works well.
I am dying to get pcie and just see what it feels like under the hood.

#77

glmark2-es2 now passes on x11 without any error.

Window movement also feels super snappy.

@stuartiannaylor How well does the latest version of mesa run on wayland?

Btw Manjaro ARM has now updated to the latest 5.2.1 kernel. Gotta love a rolling release this smooth on a SBC.

#79

I got much lesser Wayland benchmarks but super snappy, but that was my own install building on Manjaro minimal, but feel wise super snappy.

Chromium if you try it absolutely kills the system feck knows what it does but it aint good. I have never had all that much success with Arch builds of Chromium though, I think it pushes against mantra or philosophy or something as never seems to be like scheduled release distro builds and maybe just takes lots of optimisation and fixes. Too much so for a rolling release?
I haven’t tried the standard system with a M.2 SSD but expecting that my dislike of the BS often said about ‘A desktop experience’ actually is not BS.
Pi have been saying that since the 3 and view it as pure snake oil and misleading marketing of zero reality.
My ‘desktop’ maybe has a higher bar but thinking yeah this is entry level and usable, unlike some other claims.

I have always been an Arch fan but until the Pi4 (When released) always found Manjaro too much load generally, but yeah the rolling release getting the latest (needed) mainline releases practically instantly just can not be praised enough its fecking awesome! :slight_smile:
I expect being Manjaro there will be more desktop offerings available but the KDE/LXqt are really good, presume we might see I3 or at least one tiling desktop.
KDE Plasma is usually a hog on low low end but not so on the Rockpi4 which is sort of strange as desktops are just a preference rather than strong performance decisions.
The Pi4 for most parts is still VC4 and there is a big performance increase via the RK3399 Mali Gpu.
Panfrost still hasn’t completely finished or even reached an optimisation phase of development yet, so you can pretty much expect performance increases.
Panfrost has been the missing secret sauce and a 100% with GPU mainline opensource solution is just going to have so many dividends in overall compatibility and usability.

I really feel that Radxa should be providing common mainline u-boot and kernel github repos to run parallel with the original Linaro 4.4 build service that continues as the anchor of patch progression to the mainline we have now.

Rockpi4 mainline specifics from overlays, spi bootloaders, firmware and pcie should be made open but also maybe a pacman repo of @radxa packages that would feedback to the great support of Manjaro / Arch.

I get the importance of the Linaro BSP and reasons why it will stay, but at this stage of being a cul-de-sac with many distros being able to bootstrap native Arm64 packages I am confused why a alternative mainline BSP is not public?

The manjaro linux-aarch64-rc package is on 5.3 rc1 now.

Update: doesn’t boot though.
