[OS] Debian Buster (for ODROID Go Advance/Super)

meveric · Post by **meveric** » Wed Jan 15, 2020 5:07 pm

I've ported Debian Buster to the ODROID Go Advance (GO2) and ODROID Go Super (GO3) mainly to test compatibility with already existing software and to test what are the capabilities of the GO2/GO3 aside from being a gaming handheld.
It also supports Rev 1.1 devices out of the box.

This image is meant for development, server tasks, and testing. it is NOT meant as a gaming image for the GO2/GO3

It is highly recommended to use a keyboard with this image. I also suggest you use a USB Hub to connect different devices to the GO2/GO3 at the same time, like WLAN, keyboard (and mouse).
Download: https://oph.mdrjr.net/meveric/images/Bu ... GO2.img.xz md5 sha512 sig

Size compressed: 120MB
Size uncompressed: 800 MB

Default Login: root
Default Password: odroid

First things first:
Since there's constantly new development for this image and ODROIDs in general the First thing you should do after the image is up and running is to install all updates:

Code: Select all

apt update && apt upgrade && apt dist-upgrade

Hints:
Changing language:
If you install a Desktop environment you should already have keybord-configuration installed, it will ask upon the first installation what keyboard layout it should use.
This configuration is for your X11 Desktop so you have your desired keyboard layout.
For console you need to install console-setup to do the same, so just in case:

Code: Select all

apt-get install console-setup keyboard-configuration
dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

should be all that is needed to change your keyboard layout.
You probably want to set timezone as well

Code: Select all

dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Setting up WLAN from command line
Edit the file /etc/network/interfaces or create a new one under /etc/network/interfaces.d/ and add the following lines

Code: Select all

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
    wpa-essid <NAME-OF-YOUR-WLAN>
    wpa-psk <WLAN-PASSWORD>

If you're using a "hidden" network, please also add wpa-scan-ssid 1

You can turn this into a desktop based image with X11/GBM GPU drivers using setup-odroid
This allows for many applications and games to run.
You can even increase the desktop size by using the command:

Code: Select all

xrandr --output DSI-1 --scale 1.5x1.5

or

Code: Select all

xrandr --output DSI-1 --scale 2x2

To scale the desktop to either 720x480 or 960x640, which may look tiny but allows for even more applications on the desktop

Was wondering whether you'd rebase your packages for ubuntu or go with debian...

It's great that he continues to support Debian, though Ubuntu usually has newer development libraries I run Debian for long term stability on my "mission critical" devices.

I have been running it on both my Cloudshell for two or three years and have had zero problems, only ever needing a reboot for kernel updates.

Ubu-what?

Why should I change anything? The packages already exists for Debian Buster, just need to add a few more

That's not necessarily true.
First of all I "need" the longer release cycles for Debian, as I do all the work on my own.
That being said, there's still Ubuntu LTS releases, but they are not that "current" either, on the contrary.
While Debian has it's "backport" repository, Ubuntu is often stucked on old software if you go for LTS.
I was using MATE Desktop half a year (or a year not sure) before HK was using it, already all the way back in Debian Wheezy, as it was available through backporst from Debian Jessie, long before Debian Jessie was released, and long before it was adapted by Ubuntu or HardKernel.
Ubuntu 18.04 -> Qt5 5.9
Debian Buster -> Qt5 5.11
and you still have to wait until April this year to get a newer version for Ubuntu LTS (20.04).

Both OSes have their benefits and I also use Ubuntu on my main Laptop, so I'm not against Ubuntu, it just doesn't fit my workflow for the ODROIDs, and back when I started with Debian Wheezy, Debian was also a lot faster than Ubuntu.
And nowadays it's at least smaller in size

mad_ady · Post by **mad_ady** » Thu Jan 23, 2020 12:12 am

Ok, I switched to meveric's debian. Used setup-odroid to install Mate. Enabled autologin in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf:

Code: Select all

[Seat:*]
autologin-user=adrianp
user-session=mate
autologin-user-timeout=5
display-setup-script=/usr/local/bin/rotate-display.sh

The autorotation script does the following rotation + scaling to 720 x 480:

Code: Select all

$ sudo cat /usr/local/bin/rotate-display.sh
#!/bin/sh

xrandr -o left
xrandr --output DSI-1 --scale 1.5x1.5

I'll try to play with getting buttons working under x11.
On a personal note - wifi is really bad with NetworkManager and wifi0. It keeps dropping and reconnecting. It was pretty stable with /etc/network/interfaces though...

meveric · Post by **meveric** » Thu Jan 23, 2020 12:52 am

yep I remember I haven't uploaded the latest setup-odroid it takes care of the latest settings for X11.
I have to check that first.

I also use WLAN over network/interfaces and it's very stable.

@meveric are you able to post a quick video showing boot time, navigating ubuntu, terminal, file manager, etc.? I'm curious to see the boot time, how usable ubuntu is on that screen size, how readable a terminal window is, etc. I'm thinking if I just need access to a quick shell, ssh, or light access to a full linux system, I might be able to leave my umpc behind and use the odroid-go advance instead if I'm in a pinch!

There are a number of applications I can't run on my phone and scenarios where I need a full linux system and access to a usb port

mad_ady · Post by **mad_ady** » Thu Jan 30, 2020 3:02 pm

Currently the default X11 install in not accelerated, but I've seen meveric upload the rockchip x11 drivers so I'll try to install them on my unit.
Regarding resolution/usability - using scaling makes text hard to read, so I was thinking of setting up something like 800x600 with panning and hopefully dpad as mouse via antimicro.
When starting games or full screen apps you could make wrapper scripts to resize the desktop with xrandr (and restore it on exit), and also change the antimicro settings.
I hope to have time today to give it a try

meveric · Post by **meveric** » Fri Jan 31, 2020 6:03 pm

Hi,
sorry I was very busy the last few days as we had a ISO 27001 control audit in our company and I had to prepare quite a bit.
I can try making a video, but I don't have any fancy equipment so it will probably be of lower quality.

Regarding your Ideas/questions:

The boot time pretty much varies depending on your usecase. The bare Debian OS took about 4-10 seconds to boot for me, depending the SD cards I use.
But if you add a Desktop, wireless network, and other things that increase boot time, it can go up much higher, 30sec or more.

terminal, file manager, etc.?

Terminal (directly without X11 desktop) works fine and reads clearly. It's limited by the size of the screen but since the font is somewhat smaller than on a desktop PC it's quite readable and you have a good amount of info on the screen.
Applications like mc (midnight commander) do work and can be navigated using the commander view, but the information visible is limited.
If you're using an X11 Desktop the Terminal per default is rather small and the font rather big so very little on the screen.. but you can do scaling, either of the font size or the entire desktop to increase overall size of the Desktop.
Window movement is slightly sluggish (when you drag a window around) but it can be speed up when you enable compositing, but compositing comes with other downsides.

I haven't started optimizing boot time, there's probably a lot that can be done for that, especially if you deactivate services you don't need and reduce the applications at boot time to a minimum, but I haven't started working on this yet.

Once again, this Debian not Ubuntu

Useability depends on your usecase. It's a tiny screen, the CPU is far from being the fastest. The GPU itself is also not very fast.
So it's a nice gimmic and opens up a wide range of applications, but it is not a desktop system.

The screen is too tiny for serious work on it. It's perfect for gaming, and while scaling on X11 works fine it still reduces the readability.
Don't get me wrong it surely has it's usecases and I've run tons of applications on it. But with no keyboard, no LAN/WLAN capabilities without extra USB devices, this makes it not as mobile as you might think.

I really need to check that setup-odroid package I was telling you about.
I'm using accelerated X11 for weeks now, my entire image relies on it.

Better use the analog stick, it's more natural as a mouse pointer. You should use DPAD for up down left right of the keyboard, this is generally more usefull.
Just as a side note: I'm using antimicro for Amiga Emulation at the moment. I'm able to play fully mouse controlled games like UFO - Enemy Unknown with the ODROID Go Advance and just mouse mapping with antimicro.
Paired with saving and loading states, menu controls, exiting emulator, full gamepad controlls, and some special keys like space, enter and F1 which are the most commonly used in Amiga games

Sounds perfect and honestly that's pretty much all I would need, for a quick dd when I'm in a pinch

Thanks so much for your thorough feedback and all the effort you are putting into this great little device! I can't wait to get my hands on mine!!

Hey meveric!
Why is there no glmark2-es2 package for X11? I thought it came from debian...

Code: Select all

root@buster64-go2:~# apt-cache search glmark
glmark2-data - data files for the glmark2 OpenGL (ES) 2.0 benchmark
glmark2-es2-fbdev-odroid - OpenGL ES 2.0 fbdev benchmark (ODROID build)

Should I add repos or enable "universe"?

meveric · Post by **meveric** » Sat Feb 08, 2020 6:50 am

hmm probably just forgot to upload mine.
Debian has no glmark2 packages I usually just port the ones from Ubuntu.
But I did this already for GO2... Just need to upload it.

Thanks!
I was trying to get acceleration for X11 by installing version 2:1.20.4-1+odroid1 of xorg packages (xserver-xorg-core, xserver-xorg-dev, xserver-xorg-legacy, xvfb, xserver-common, xdmx, etc), and though they installed fine, I had a crash when restarting lightdm:

Sadly my go-advance is at work and I tried rebooting it remotely but it didn't come up again... Will try again on tuesday.
So - do I need those packages for accelerated x11? I remember we did for N1...

meveric · Post by **meveric** » Sat Feb 08, 2020 5:37 pm

yes.. you also need librga-odroid (have to check if you need drm-rockchip as well)
I updated and tested my setup-odroid yesterday. And will do so again today and upload my 1.0 image today if all goes well.
If you use setup-odroid it will automatically install all drivers required for a working desktop (including GPU drivers).

mad_ady · Post by **mad_ady** » Sat Feb 08, 2020 9:04 pm

Looking forward to trying it. I have a 3 day work delegation in a different city two weeks from now and I'd like to spend my train ride playing Half-Life or Brutal Doom

I have no fondness for arcade/console games

But playing without keyboard and mouse will be challenging... I'll need to figure out a way to inject cheat codes as well... Probably some menu with xdotool type that gets toggled with some key...

meveric · Post by **meveric** » Sun Feb 09, 2020 12:12 am

You should be able to do this with antimicro.
You can map entire keyboard inputs to one button.
Like you press one button, it opens the console, it types the cheat code, it presses enter, it closes the console.
You can make one setting for each game in antimicro and load the mapping accordingly.

Probably needs some testing to figure out delays between the keys so it works in all situations but it should work nonetheless.

mad_ady · Post by **mad_ady** » Sun Feb 09, 2020 2:05 am

Yes, I think that would be easier to do, thanks!
Any recommandation for a X11 based game launcher for native games? Not sure if lutris runs on arm64 (though I don't need its wine management at this point...)

meveric · Post by **meveric** » Sun Feb 09, 2020 3:01 am

Lutris is basically just python and with that rather platform independent.
It should work fine and has a section of finding and starting native Linux games as well. But it's not particular pretty.

You can also use other retro frontends, such as EmulationStation and just create your own entry for Windows/Linux/Ports or whatever and place a .sh file in the "ROMS" folder to start the game.

yes Firefox works.
But in 480x320 there is not much you can see.
You could use scaling 1.5 or 2 times scaling of the desktop which works fine, but text will get significantly harder to read

FireFox in 1x1 (barely any visible space)

FireFox with 1.5x1.5 desktop scaling (harder to read)

Running it in X11, but without a desktop environment (note to self - check that compositing is off!), yields better results (+20fps):

For my next trick - I'm trying to extend the X11 display to 1024x768 for example with panning, instead of scaling. I was able to extend it, but not pan through it (yet)..

Code: Select all

DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --fb 1024x768 --output DSI-1 --mode 320x480 --panning 1024x768

Are you sure that's how panning works?
I thought panning is the visible space that is scrolling, means what is displayed on the screen.
So shouldn't it be something like:

Code: Select all

DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --fb 1024x768 --output DSI-1 --mode 320x480 --panning 320x480

?

mad_ady · Post by **mad_ady** » Wed Feb 12, 2020 10:53 pm

Sadly, that doesn't work also.

meveric · Post by **meveric** » Wed Feb 12, 2020 11:34 pm

Make sure you have scaling 1x1 and run the following command:

Code: Select all

DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output DSI-1 --fb 1920x1080 --panning 1920x1080 --rotate normal

Please note: rotate left works as well but has many graphical glitches, so it's better without turning.

mad_ady · Post by **mad_ady** » Thu Feb 13, 2020 5:13 pm

Well, the xrandr fb/panning command does increase the desktop size, but panning doesn't follow mouse movements (e.g. mouse goes outside of screen, instead of screen following mouse). I miss the old days when this was normal functionality in X11

meveric · Post by **meveric** » Thu Feb 13, 2020 5:21 pm

hmm for me it worked.. when i hit the edge of the screen with the mouse the picture followed it.
It doesn't constantly follow just at the edges.

BTW I got LZDoom to work

meveric · Post by **meveric** » Fri Feb 14, 2020 6:16 am

Uploaded LZDoom works fine
I suggest changing width and height to 480x270 (that's the resolution of the Engine that fits best).
You can do so in the lzconfig.ini file or you can try to navigate through the nearly unreadable menu until you find that option

A video of a little something....
Just cause it works: https://oph.mdrjr.net/meveric/other/Vid ... /go2-1.mp4

graphics actually look a lot better in real.. the camera is just really bad

Since this is show-and-tell, this is my achievement

However, the joypad as mouse in dosbox doesn't work correctly. Once you touch it the cursor jumps to the lower right corner. And the emulated software is a bit sluggish...

meveric · Post by **meveric** » Fri Feb 14, 2020 6:22 pm

My guess it's the grab input feature from DOSBox that prevents it to work.
It probably doesn't send any inputs antimicro anymore and therefore antimicro doesn't do anything.

Apparently there is an option "autolock = true" that does this. Maybe it works if you set it to false, but that may cause other side-effects.

Just a quick update on LZDoom: viewtopic.php?p=281244#p281244
I added support for 480x320 resolution so the screen is now filled completely without black borders.

Could somebody please create a Image with a Desktop and support for mouse over Analogstick?

mad_ady · Post by **mad_ady** » Mon Feb 17, 2020 7:45 pm

You can use setup-odroid and select Mate desktop. Then sudo apt-get install antimicro-odroid. Here is my configuration http://paste.debian.net/1130930/. Save it as .config/antimicro/ogo2-mouse.gamecontroller.amgp in your user folder (the mate installer will ask you to create a regular account). Then, start antimicro (on mate login) with /usr/local/bin/antimicro --tray --profile /home/adrianp/.config/antimicro/ogo2-mouse.gamecontroller.amgp

I was able to run the Nintendo DS emulator drastic!
Only played Mario Kart DS, but it ran really well with standard settings (no upscaling 3D).

meveric · Post by **meveric** » Tue Feb 18, 2020 7:21 am

yep I've been using drastic before as well and it has nice performance

But there is no "official" release that I could take, I could just copy what others are using.

Someday maybe we'll get that open-source release

Have you tried running redream? It has a armhf release for Raspberry Pi.
I've currently hit a dead-end segmentation fault.

meveric · Post by **meveric** » Tue Feb 18, 2020 9:26 am

Since redream is closed source and you have to pay for it to use it it's hard to say anything about it.
I bet the RPi version is only running on RPi and no where else, and is pretty much useless otherwise.
Also you still probably need to pay to be able to use it.
