An unofficial Debian Installer for Pinebook Pro

[Antoine]

Hi Daniel,

Thanks a lot for your installer. It is much more polished and efficient than what I was doing manually.

I have an issue with libva (video decoding acceleration). VLC is crashing when I launch a video and I can see the same error as in the vainfo command:

Code:

antoine@frisbee:~$ vainfo
libva info: VA-API version 1.6.0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/dri/rockchip_drv_video.so
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit

In fact, looking at the kernel output I can see multiple failures to load the firmware:

Code:

antoine@frisbee:~$ dmesg |grep dptx
[    4.428843] cdn-dp fec00000.dp: Direct firmware load for rockchip/dptx.bin failed with error -2
[    5.511231] cdn-dp fec00000.dp: Direct firmware load for rockchip/dptx.bin failed with error -2
[    7.591180] cdn-dp fec00000.dp: Direct firmware load for rockchip/dptx.bin failed with error -2
[   11.671246] cdn-dp fec00000.dp: Direct firmware load for rockchip/dptx.bin failed with error -2

The firmware is present in /lib/firmware/rockchip and initramfs-update has been ran.

I am a bit frustrated not being able to run vlc. Is there anybody who has had the same problems?
