GPU firmware loading fails on armbian:

I'm looking for suggestions for good USB audio interfaces for the RockPro64. I'm encountering clipping at low volumes with the 3.5mm jack and would like something more capable. I won't be connecting a TV or anything like that to the RockPro64, so HDMI isn't an option. I'd love something like the Focusrite Scarlett Solo I have connected to my workstation, but without the ports I don't need :)

I always make sure there is no residue or anything but for the life of me I can not get any feet to stay on the pinebook pro. Anyone have any tips?

Per the booklet, I got the largest SD card compatible with the Pinebook Pro. I can successfully format, check it for errors and mount it. As soon as a write attempt is made, even just a mkdir, errors occur (invalid block bitmap). I've tried both ext4 and ext3.

Has anyone had success mounting and using that large an SD card? Thanks.

Hi,

My pinephone is no longer getting calls or texts, and I'm trying to understand why. A while back I had a similar problem, wherein the model seemed clogged:

forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=16939&page=2

But, I never actually got the bottom of that. I've tried using mmcli to see the stored messages:

mmcli -m 0 AT+CPMS?


But it just returns information about the modem (copied below). Does anyone know what might be going on?

Anyone else seeing high memory usage with rkvdec/rockchip_vdec? I am seeing high memory usage with both GStreamer and FFmpeg (https://github.com/jernejsk/FFmpeg) clients so, if other people are also having issues, it seems like it might be an issue in the kernel driver. Performance is quite good until it starts swapping however. I see 3.5 GiB of shared memory usage before it hangs/starts swapping. I'm using kernel 6.1. It's also possible that it is somewhere else like Panfrost or Mesa and I guess I would need to use Kmemleak to confirm but I'd like to know if this is a known issue before I test further.

Hi,
please, I need some help to make a vibration signal, if possible with adjustable vibration-length, out from a Python programme from a Raspberry Pi 4 via bluetooth connection.

Best regards,
Gerald

I am running Armbian 23.02.2 and I am trying to use OpenCL.

Using clinfo, it turns out that there are no installed driver.

Here's my Star64 booting up Armbian for the first time on a 2GB microSD. https://youtu.be/3L0rNewF0QE
This Armbian image is based on Fishwaldo's kernel & device tree and this release of Armbian: Armbian_23.5.0-trunk.275_Star64_lunar_edge_5.15.0.img from here: https://www.armbian.com/star64/
I made an image of my 2GB drive in case anyone wants to write it to a microSD and try booting it. I'd recommend writing it to a larger microSD, maybe 16GB or more, because my 2GB quickly filled up. Armbian should automatically resize itself to fill your larger microSD.
You can find the compressed disk image on google drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zIOl9xU...sp=sharing The shasum for the xz file is 4a1dc00d0ac27c690a04546c4447f6f96fe5f38f.

Is there an equivalent for the RHEL/Fedora emergency shell boot for Pine Pro/Manjaro ARM/Plasma?

I've tried various key combinations including ctrl-shift-F2. Inserting a USB having burned a downloaded Manjaro-ARM-kde-plasma-pbpro-20.12.img.xz image onto it does nothing.

Been using linux (mostly RH, Fedora and Ubuntu) for nearly 30 years; ARM (Chrome OS) for six months. I can't say I'm terribly impressed with the Pinebook. And this from a guy who's partial to KDE/Plasma.

System is stuck, by the way, on (not) mounting a 2TB sd disk whose PARTUUID I'd inserted in fstab. Meant to comment out the line when a manual test mount didn't work, but must have somehow not saved the file after inserting the hash character. Stuck on it whether the sd is in or out.

Oh well. Appreciate any help. A search on the forum turned up no results that I could see.
