Xserver or linux desktop is of no interest to me, but running Kodi efficiently on linux very much is, and the most optimized and efficient way of doing just that is using pure DRM/KMS and bypassing any windowing system such as xserver/wayland exactly like we do with Kodi on LibreELEC linux.
You should be able to build Kodi/mpv/ffmpeg/mpp with the same patches and build flags we use with LibreELEC on any of the other images and run it very efficient when xserver/wayland is stopped.
All libmali libs provided by Rockchip for ROCK64 implements the EGL_KHR_platform_gbm extension and should work with our DRM/KMS Kodi/mpv patches. You will also need the patched libmali include files for proper EGL/GLES build support, see https://github.com/rockchip-linux/libmali/pull/15.
If you are looking for running Kodi on xserver and being caped by the GPU it should be possible using the armsoc driver and some patches from https://github.com/omegamoon/LibreELEC.t...its/master
