Debian 11 (Bullseye) for ODROID-N2/C4/HC4 (Ubuntu 20.10: EOL)

[tobetter]

This thread will be used to support Ubuntu 20.10 with mainline kernel for ODROID-N2/C4/HC4 with mainline kernel.

I've managed Debian/Ubuntu package server for a several years and becomes more busy this year mostly for ODROID-N2 and ODROID-C4 - actually my server also contains the packages for ODROID-XU4 and ODROID-C2 but no one uses it. Previously I have updated the two different threads for ODROID-N2 and ODROID-C4 although the instructions are almost identical except for a couple of packages, they will be remained as-is and updated for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with mainline kernel but this thread will for Ubuntu 20.10 only.

Expected activity in this thread are:
1. New experience with upcoming Ubuntu OS.
2. Probably sharing the experience of Panfrost on G52/G31.
3. And more...

Since Ubuntu 20.10 is not LTS version, this thread will be closed when Ubuntu 21.04 is released or nobody wants to run Ubuntu 20.10. Also, since thread is aiming the experimental features, it's not strange if the installation is locked up any time.

Released images:

• 20201120 - Server Image

Documentation: https://docs.linuxfactory.or.kr

Buy me a coffee to keep running my build machine.

In order to install Ubuntu 20.10 into your ODROID-N2/C4/HC4, Ubuntu 20.04 must be installed first and upgraded since Ubuntu 20.10 Netboot Installer is not in my TODO list. For upgrade, in the files /etc/apt/*.list and /etc/apt/sources.d/*.list have to be modified to replace focal to groovy. If you are familiar with Ubuntu packages, the commands are quite simple, these commands will work for the desktop or headless setup.

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt dist-upgrade
$ sudo apt autoremove
$ sudo reboot

Very nice, I'll give it a try on my N2 and N2+.

Really looking forward to try an Ubuntu 20.10 Panfrost version.

I Will definitely Not try it on my HC4 or C4 since S905X3 CPU is not strong enough to run regular custom Ubuntu 20.04 LTS w/Gnome/Wayland.

Question, are overclocking speeds unlocked on Ubuntu 20.10 for N2(2004Mhz for A73 and 1992Mhz for A53) and N2+(2400Mhz for A73 and 2016Mhz for A53)?

BTW, Great job by keeping us updated with latest Linux Distros for our beloved Odroids.
I do own a few RK3399 SBC's and some Fruity boards too and none of them have this level of customization and support with HW acceleration and mainline kernels. Not sucking up, just stating facts why HK stands out of the crowd.

Ubuntu 20.10 upgrade worked like a charm on my N2+
Gnome tweaks and Gnome Arc menu stop working after Ubuntu 20.10 update. Had to reinstall/update them.
So far so good. Will run some performance tests on it.

Out of curiosity, how long does it take to complete the installation with your N2Plus?

After Groovy 20.10 update, I noticed VLC is no longer working and with half of my MP4 1080p movie collection,there are audio issues playing thru HDMI on the TV.
When HDMI/DisplayPort -Built-in Audio is chosen as Output device, only Digital Surround 5.1(HDMI) Output is working.
With MPV application, playing MP4 1080p video files, audio(voices) are Not heard, only sound track/sound effects can be heard.
MP4 video files using AAC Audio codec are the ones having trouble with on MPV as mentioned above.
They were playing perfectly fine on 20.04.

Maybe a missing audio codec somewhere?

Thanks for testing...In Ubuntu 20.04, I've packaged the FFMPEG with help @brad and it's been compiled with a certain flags but this is not there in the Groovy repo yet. I am trying to see the packages which may not require to be packaged and published by my server but comes from Canonical. So if a certain packages are required to be customized for ODROID, I will put into build queue and will upload to the package repository.

FYI, big packages I've customized before 20.10 other than Linux kernel and Mali are "Qt5", "SDL" and "FFMPEG".

Can you try to reinstall the odroid-alsa package to see if it fixes the sound

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall odroid-alsa

I suspect your channels are mapped a bit wrong for whatever reason.

If that does not work as a test try to force pulse to map to stereo sound in /etc/pulse/default.pa by adding this to the end as a workaround

Code: Select all

load-module module-combine channels=2 channel_map=front-left,front-right

I think upstream kernel has possibly made some changes recently in 5.9 which might have impact sound channels.

Also I think the standard groovy ffmpeg version should now be ok for odroid without customization

I'm on 5.8.0-odroid-arm64 kernel. I thought 5.9 would come as default with Groovy 20.10 upgrade/installation.

@tobetter might have to check on this patch in both 5.8 / 5.9 recent updates as it may have broke sound channels? - https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke ... 624b4b497a

I can test on my odroid N2 tomorrow (been using the C4, hifi shield and older kernel for the moment)

After Groovy 20.10 update, I noticed VLC is no longer working and with half of my MP4 1080p movie collection,there are audio issues playing thru HDMI on the TV.
When HDMI/DisplayPort -Built-in Audio is chosen as Output device, only Digital Surround 5.1(HDMI) Output is working.
With MPV application, playing MP4 1080p video files, audio(voices) are Not heard, only sound track/sound effects can be heard.
MP4 video files using AAC Audio codec are the ones having trouble with on MPV as mentioned above.
They were playing perfectly fine on 20.04.

Can you try to reinstall the odroid-alsa package to see if it fixes the sound

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall odroid-alsa

I suspect your channels are mapped a bit wrong for whatever reason.

If that does not work as a test try to force pulse to map to stereo sound in /etc/pulse/default.pa by adding this to the end as a workaround

Code: Select all

load-module module-combine channels=2 channel_map=front-left,front-right

I think upstream kernel has possibly made some changes recently in 5.9 which might have impact sound channels.

Also I think the standard groovy ffmpeg version should now be ok for odroid without customization

HDMI audio finally fixed after doing Brad's instructions.

Trying to work the kernel (running a customized version of your 5.9.1 at the moment with required patches but trying to rebase on 5.10-rc2 (still need patches on top of this for panfrost). Flash kernel is causing me some problems so it would be nice to bump the version.

Thanks,
Brad.

[tobetter]

@brad,

Let me rebase with 3.99 which is most recent version.
For Panfrost, can we test with 5.9 kernel first since I am building 5.10 kernel and trying to build package from my server?

Sure, I can't get 5.10 to boot anyway so going back to 5.9, any chance to get to 5.9.6? some patches are needed which are difficult from 5.9.3 - https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke ... q=panfrost

Sure, I can't get 5.10 to boot anyway so going back to 5.9, any chance to get to 5.9.6? some patches are needed which are difficult from 5.9.3 - https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke ... q=panfrost

Actually, I am testing 5.9.6...5.9 branch has not been updated for some time.
Let me first finish the package without Panfrost patch series and publish it.

I've been dealing with this for a few days.
Now wayland desktop works fine, sound is good, videos are fluent.
Only Chromium does not work, he insists he wants a x desktop. Chromium is a must have for me. Because the built-in Translate works very well for me. If I don't translate built-in I get deaf and dumb in Odroid Forum.
Thanks @tobetter and all contributors !!!

You could try something like this addon for firefox. I don't use chromium anymore because ubuntu decided to drop normal packages and switch to snap which is a slow crap. Native chromium opens on my n2 in 3 seconds, and opening snap takes up to 10 seconds, this is ridiculous. Although chromuim developers want to push wayland to upstream, but we still have to deal with snap.

Thank you for the suggestion. I use several plugins but none of them have chromium's built-in translation functional. I don't feel good with plugins.

Have you tried this one? Seems to me similar to chromium's translator. Or you could port chromium's translator plugin by using this guide.

I solved the chromium issue with docker-chromium-armhf in this issue!

@brad, I've uploaded new kernel package based on 5.9.6 upstream kernel and you would be able to test it. Before updating, please add this line to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ppa_linuxfactory_or_kr.list

Code: Select all

deb http://ppa.linuxfactory.or.kr groovy testing

For other users:
There is a bit more changes after 5.9.1 and Mali Wayland have a trouble with it. So I had to work a bit more than I expected, do not try to install this kernel package 5.9.6 yet. I've tested with N2Plus, not yet with C4/HC4...after having more test. I will publish the image.

@brad,
I've created yet another branch odroid-5.9.y-panfrost merged with your branch an the branch is based on 5.9.8.

Actually this is not about Ubuntu 20.10 but about the Panfrost status.

With great help from a few developers (@brad and others) in this forum, I've sorted out the commits to enable Panfrost drivers and pushed to my Github branch. I was able to run the first Panfrost test on ODROID-HC4 as attached screen. It runs but a bit choppy compare to ARM Mali Bifrost driver, maybe my testing is a bit different than ArchLinux that @jgmdev is contributing, but it works...so the first step is started! I need to work more and test with ODROID-N2 as well so hopfully I can build the test packages.

Appreciate all Panfrost/Mesa developers and many users in this forum.

Should be able to dump this build config https://github.com/bjharper/ubuntu-mesa ... /20.3-rc1/ directly into the mesa tarball to build the packages - https://github.com/mesa3d/mesa/tree/20.3 for mesa 20.3-rc1

I did have some issues (which might be related to something else on my system - C4 or the package config itself) but i'm very interested to give this another test with latest kernel and a new netboot install on C4, N2 and HC4. Hopefully some time tomorrow to do this. Thanks for you efforts so far @tobetter!

Spent two evenings to package and test Linux 5.10 kernel, eventually looks like Jenkins HDD becomes bad...hearing strange noises from it.

No...no space is happening in Docker on ODROID-N2 and my build server HDD is really cracking...

[tobetter]

I've done to package Linux 5.10 and it's uploaded as posted in another thread.
viewtopic.php?p=312386#p312386

I am thinking of adding Panfrost patches in 5.9 branch to 5.10 branch, since in a month we need to switch 5.10 for the default kernel and 5.10 will be the next LTS release. I don't know yet, even the Panfrost patches can be merged without conflict...but will see tomorrow.

Panfrost on Ubuntu 20.10 (2020/11/20)
I've spent a couple of days to port Linux kernel 5.10.0-rc4 with Panfrost and necessary packages are uploaded to my package server. Linux kernel 5.10.0-rc4 and Panfrost can run and be installed if you follow the instructions with the Ubuntu 20.10 image 20201120. Still the Panfrost shows glitches but look promising and need to test and upgrade more.

The Ubuntu 20.10 image 20201120 is built with Linux kernel 5.9, so the first thing you have to with the image is to upgrade the Linux kernel to 5.10 with panfrost patches.

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install linux-image-5.10.0-odroid-panfrost-arm64
$ sudo reboot

Once the Linux kernel is updated, you can install Ubuntu Desktop packages. I've tested KDE Desktop today,



Thank you for all helps from @jgmdev and @brad for this and all Panfrost contributers.

Hi @tobetter, the name appears to be linux-image-5.10.0-odroid-panfrost-arm64 (rather than linux-image-5.10.y-odroid-panfrost-arm64) but this is starting come along very well, still some issues but can run kde / gnome in wayland or x11. We now have a very good start to look at remaining issues.
