@longsleep after update no audio device is detected. If you need any log please let me know.

Mhm i do not see how that could be related.

Please post the outputs of

aplay -l
and
lsmod
and the full output of `dmesg` after fresh boot.

Thanks

I had not luck so far with enabling armsoc-drv with X, with the version from the PPA I get a kernel oops,

Finally figured out that problem. Launchpad build is updated - should work fine with 1.4.0-0ubuntu2+0sunxi5. Thanks for testing!

Ok seems to work now with the version from the PPA, thanks! Back to fixing the allocation problem I guess

Ok the DMESG shows the error
[ 13.552150] sndhdmi sound.7: ASoC: can't create pcm SUNXI-HDMIAUDIO :-12
[ 13.571547] sndhdmi sound.7: ASoC: failed to instantiate card -12
[ 13.590409] sndhdmi sound.7: snd_soc_register_card() failed: -12
[ 13.609061] sndhdmi: probe of sound.7 failed with error -12

As of why i have no clue. Anyone else gets this?

Btw its supposed to look like this:
root@pine64:~# dmesg|grep -i sndhdmi
[ 12.454417] sndhdmi sound.7: sndhdmi <-> 1c22800.daudio mapping ok
[ 12.625219] #0: sndhdmi

Something is not right with the continues memory allocation of the drm driver. I am not particularly keen to dig into this. A possible workaround is to add

Code:

optargs=cma=256M

to your /boot/uEnv.txt - do not restart X11 to often and it is fine (and have Allwinner fix their driver)

Ok. So I tried every possible way [from forum] to change resolution from 4K to 1080p. Nothing worked. Once [don't know why] it booted with desktop in 720p. I checked sound card and it was present. I can't replicate it. Somehow I think maybe the 4k is the problem based on what happened.

Maybe - you can play around with the various KMS parameters - some work, others don't. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ker...de_setting for a rather good summary.

Also when in X11, xrandr works fine to change the resolution.

Wait do we have a timeline for the Mali Blobs?

If they are IP isn't it game over?

BTW, thanks for all the images and work.. having a lot of fun working with these now.

... the blob is being tested, and there are issue to sort... be patient.

Thanks for the link. I will read it but I do not think I can get much out of it. With xrandr I'm getting "xrandr failed to get size of gamma for output default". Probably doing something wrong but sadly I just can't get it to work.
