[Guide] 🖥️ Best Options for a Single Board Computer!

Yes. “Your” didn’t refer to you, but to anyone. Anyone can put these things in their bash config files. Not just someone who made the image.

And by default the governor is not performance, so it will be reset to ondemand with every power cycle, even if it’s changed.

Updated Thanks Master Incognito!

Hello,
I was planning to do some light gaming, but I run games, that need DirectX to work. I have read somewhere that using “PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%” might do the trick.
The command is used in Launch section of Properties window of games in Steam Library, but I can’t access to Properties. When I click on Properties in Large Mode, Library section itself freezes. In Small Mode nothing happens.
I also can’t run Steam in Big Picture mode.
I haven’t made any changes to the system, except updating Ubuntu and Steam.
Has this problem occurred to anyone else, if so how did you manage to solve it? Would DXVK work, there are Vulkan-based versions out there?

This is recent development cthulhuturk… PtitSeb being the main men for all the wine box86 64 port is a big luck we have on our side… Its only understandable that errors and freezings like that will likely happen.
Best person to answer you those questions is at Radxa Discord channel #box86-64.
Not all games will work and some that do under the compatability list will need some terminal work to do.
Thats why you have to follow the project closely github discord etc…

Thanks a lot. I have been doing some trial-error myself with no luck.
I will try asking around then. Nearly every game with no DirectX need worked without compatibility issues (except sound) thanks to your image, only D3D11 is missing.

Hey, good work! I’ve just installed it on my NVME.
Quick test:

  • Sound via Headphone didn’t work
  • glmark2 Score: 1076, to low

andreas@rock-5b:~$ glmark2-es2-wayland

glmark2 2021.02

=======================================================
OpenGL Information
GL_VENDOR: Panfrost
GL_RENDERER: Mali-G610 (Panfrost)
GL_VERSION: OpenGL ES 3.1 Mesa 23.0.0-devel

Do I have something to install, edit or add?
Thanks
Andreas

Trigger the performance mode and try the test again

Yes, you’re right, my fault. Now it’s better: glmark2 Score: 4293
So, what’s about sound? Options in Control Center of Gnome has different output devices than my other Armbian image. In this case “HDMI0 Audio, HDMI1 Audio and Headphones E3616 Audio”. No sound via Headphones E3616 Audio.

Pulseaudio end select the browser output correctly I think?
Also keep in mind that the echo for performance will last till a shutdown which means you will have to trigger it each time or manually write an instruction for it ‘I believe’.

I’ve compared installed pulseaudio prgramms on both systems = equal .
Not neither browser or console.

Thing is I use BT for Audio… I use a JBL 5 speaker for it… and it works on my side… so Idk how you are having it is it via jack port? it should work out of the box.

Yes, Bluetooth is working fine (after modifying /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf). What I want to have is hear Music and Video via the jack port for my speaker on the desks.
This didn’t work with this image but the “normal” Armbian image.
Andreas

I dont know if this helps you but try.

Didn’t work. I don’t have speaker in my Monitor. Just standalone speaker at the desk.
but what I recognize: if select “Headphone - ES8316 Audio” while playing webradio the progress bar below is working, but no sound. It seems for me the must be anywhere a controller is muted.
Andreas

Well apparently theres something wierd…

:roll_eyes:
Bad news
Andreas

here:


U gotta be a ninja too… :rofl::rofl:

Edit: Join discord it might be easier to reach him.

Okay, I’ve tried this: still no sound on speaker , just progress bar is working. The naming of output device was changed.
Doesn’t have discord.

I can just confirm that via bluetooth it all works just fine.
Audio via jack I dont own any device to try. Apologies @linuxfriend :frowning: you have to keep trying. Or try the previous monkas version (the one that includes steam) that might be working if the mistake is due to some update misplaced… Test it
