One day after the release of Linux 4.11, developer “
The kernel has been tested with the Mali User-space r12p0 drivers for fbdev and wayland written for Firefly-RK3288, and some OpenGL ES 3.1/3.2 samples could successfully run on the board. 3D graphics acceleration does not work in X11 however.
Miouyouyou also plans to add support for Rockchip VPU code, as well as ARM gator, and document how to use ARM DS-5 Streamline for OpenGL ES 2.x/3.x debugging.
If you have a MiQi or Tinker board running Debian, you can try the kernel by adding beta.armbian.com Debian repository to your apt source file, and installing the following packages:
|
1 |
apt install linux-image-dev-rockchip linux-headers-dev-rockchip linux-dtb-dev-miqi |

I would like to see linux distro with working wayland window manager on this board.
But not with weston 🙂

@agt
Does that mean you are stuck to 800×600 resolution like in the github link?
@Jean-Luc Aufranc (CNXSoft)
yes, can change to some others manually but not 1920×1200 as needed
If that’s an issue with the framebuffer, I’ll see what I can do during the 4.12-rc period. I think this patch might resolve the issue : https://github.com/TinkerBoard/debian_kernel/commit/2dae2f4dd94c597231dddd717fda411664e6b4c4
If the issue also happen with wayland or X11, that’s another problem though.
New release on the same github repo:
And now Rokchip VPU driver for Linux 4.13 -> https://github.com/Miouyouyou/RockMyy-Build/releases/tag/v4.13-VPU-Test

Maybe better linking to the ‘call for testers’ with some instructions? https://forum.armbian.com/index.php?/topic/4806-the-vpu-driver/&do=findComment&comment=39062
