My riced out Armbian legacy setup is great! It's just the software stack is stuck in 2018. It's like the 2018 desktop forever. :02_shrug:

@drcounelis When I can afford a Rockpro64 that badboy is going to run OpenBSD aarch64.

@nerdtronics kek, what cpu does that board have, and yes i know you need a difftent boot loader for diffrent arm cpus and the micro code for a cpu in a kernel

@drcounelis I would have to port Slack to my board, Armbian 5.15 won't boot on here, so I'm not sure if slack would either, so I'd have to use a legacy kernel and no hardware acceleration, unless I go through the Firefly source history of their work with the rk drm and port it over too. Good luck because Firefly likes to delete their old code. 404 website not found. Basically would have to create/compile my own Slack distro and port all the drm over manually, and still probably have to use legacy.

@nerdtronics fair, is the code for that cpu not in the mainline kernal? If not thats kinda stupid

@drcounelis You have to compile what is called a Rockchip kernel, it has to target your board. So image built for Rockpro64 will not boot on a roc-rk3399-pc and vice versa. The firmware for booting is different, so the image has to built targeting a specific board. The drm is a whole other story,Notes from the Armbian developer that ported drm to my board, ¿Why did you use Debian Buster as a base for this implementation? It was the most appropriate for several reasons. Upstream Rockchip-Linux developers use Debian buster, so the software could be ported with less modifications than if we chose a different distro. Besides, it is a completely stable distro, unlike Bullseye, which is a moving target as of today. It also has Chromium as a package, unlike Focal that uses snap instead. For last, it has a good backports repo, with several libs that would otherwise need to be compiled and maintained if we chose, for example, Focal. ¿Why Legacy instead of Mainline? This is an implementation based on the vendor's BSP kernel. It has been tested and is reliable, which many people will prefer rather than having a bleeding-edge, less stable implementation. In addition to that, Mainline upstream multimedia support is still a WIP, and lacks many features that are only present on Legacy kernels. ¿Will you add new features to this implementation? No, this implementation will only receive bug fixes if necessary. From now on, all multimedia work will be focused on Mainline and recent distros (like Focal or Bullseye). All new features will go there.

@nerdtronics if the cpu is the same would it work on other device with the same cpu (rockpro64 and the pinephone pro) becuase its the same microcode?

@drcounelis There's a reason they call these things "developer boards"

@drcounelis No it's not the same, you have to compile u-boot, arm trusted firmware for the specific board. Yes, the kernel is compiled to target to rk3399, so yes I could create a slack image that *may boot on this board, but it won't have hardware acceleration. It's not as simple as you think. That's what's great about Armbian, smarter people have made it so that normal people like me can set these boards up. NetBSD is slow as fuck, no acceleration and currently on one web browser works, SeaMonkey, and it crashes often. I'll take the w on this board setup, I'm not reinventing the wheel.

@drcounelis I curious to see what performance on the Rockpro64 is, probably Arch has the best support for a desktop system on that board. Most other distros or BSD would better for server usage like NAS, webserver, etc.

@nerdtronics slackware has offical suport for the rockpro64 so thats a slam(also why i got it over the quarts64) plus the quarts is very under devoped atm

@nerdtronics I need screencaps of this. I’ve got an IBM thinkpad R51 running AOSC OS/Retro with a KDE 3 fork called TDE. It’s like a Time Machine. Solid machine.
