Making chromium hardware acceleration work on Armbian requires several few more steps after installing the GPU acceleration drivers. It's explained in the Armbian Orange Pi 5 subforum. It's a hassle, but once installed it's much more stable than Joshua Riek's Ubuntu release 1.8, which crashes too often for me.
@@WandererHermit Links don't work well in YT comments. In the Armbian Orange Pi 5 subforum look for a thread called "Accelerated video - options for installing and running".
Always nice to see a new Opi5 video and so far Armbian has been my go to distro but its great to have other options that support 3D acceleration. Great video!
This is a big improvement for sure. I can't wait until this is all sorted out completely. It's such a capable SBC and I'm WAY past caring about Raspberry Pi at this point.
in other news leeps, just as i had previously mentioned: the rpi foundation is indeed restocking now the original zero w. and not the zero 2w.... this is most likely due to a shortage for some unique critical component. it is also woth noting that pi 3b has been getting some stock too recently. which is itself a similar platform to the zero 2w. (make of that what you will)
Just got myself the NanoPi-R6c from FriendlyElec, possibly the cheapest RK3588s out there. May not have the IO like the OPi5, but does come with 32gb EMMC, NVME(wifi and bluetooth card on the way for testing) and 2.5g lan.. damn it's a great little device.. Also got the same results using Armbian for it.. Being put to use as a Plex media server.. with Android on SD card for emulation fun.. great vid Lee ;)
I have decided to go with a Orange Pi 4 as I'm seeing that most people can get Manjaro to run just fine for that board. Your videos have been huge and I'm definitely liking and subscribing cause I can't wait til the commmunity rallies behind the OP5 and gives rasberry pi a kick in the ass
I believe there wasn't an improvement with video playback because, even though there are drivers for accelerating that, you are running Gnome on Wayland, and Chromium doesn't support hardware video decoding by default on Wayland. The general redering is still accelerated, though
Thanks for video. Always excited to see a new Leepspvideo uploaded. I didn’t grab the Orange pi 5. I hastily purchased the Rock5b and the Nanopi R6s. I’m enjoying the rk3588. Coming from rpi4 and khadas vims 3 and 4, the upgrade to a more capable soc has me enjoying a ton of ps2(favorite gaming system of all time) games.
I changed to Wayland and got a flawless 4k youtube playback with Gnome. Zero frames dropped even when moving mouse. Htop reports a load of 40-60% on all cores.
Loving this video it’s very informative, I tried applying the 3D Acceleration to the Ubuntu version from Orange pi and got the same errors but I did see slight improvement. If you could do a video of booting Linux from USB port on the Orange pi from the USB 3.0 port as stated the manual from the website. 👍🏼 I would appreciate a video like that.
You should be able to override the default sync-to-vblank in glxgears by running it as follows: vblank_mode=0 __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=0 glxgears The first variable is for Mesa, the second likely isn't needed on that platform as I think it's for the NVidia drivers, but it doesn't hurt anything.
Could you test gaming performance with these GPU drivers installed? Even if not box86/box64, I'd be curious about native gaming performance (OpenArena) and maybe some emulators... Great work!
While tinkering with panfork drivers, I noticed that, even though chrome://gpu says Video Decode is HW accelerated, it does not actually using the HW codecs at all sometimes. This can be easily spotted using htop or system monitor, where 4k60 playback spikes all 8 cores to their maximum load
I'm in no way knowledgeable enough with this stuff to move any of this forward. However, I did pick up an 8gb OPi5 setting the writing on the wall of its potential. My 4- player Arcade cabinet is ready whenever we see Retropie, Recalbox or Launchbox support kick into full swing. 😁
I wish I could get the hardware acceleration video decode to work with Moonlight on my OrnagePi5. I tried all weekend to get ti to work and couldn't manage it. These videos were super helpful while I was trying through. I'm not very good with Linux.
That's what I get with any version Ubuntu, it why I stick with Debian. Rock solid. Plus, Gnome is the Linux Metro release, that was to use hand motion that we don't use. Unity was better. I wish Gnome go to it style of Gnome 3.
i installed armbian and the drivers, and noticed something a bit odd. when playing video system monitor shows no gpu usage, but plenty of cpu usage. it seems that even with hardware acceleration enabled it's not using it. it also does not change even when forcing h264 w/ h264ify
I have the IndieDroid Nova 16GB/64GB running Cinnamon Armbian 23.05.0. I notice intermittent screen flickering in various areas of the desktop when viewing youtube. It's the the cable or monitor. I think it's the video driver that is buggy.
Hi there, as always, very informing, thank you. Yesterday, it has come to my attention that Orange Pi has published a new arch linux gnome edition (specifically for Orange pi 5) and it quite rocks. As I ran your tests there, I got a glmark2 of 1759 (845 here) and a wirple of 2512 (1659 here). If you have the time, could you please test this distro? Thanks for the good work!
have u seen news about rock 5b booting windows? its very early stages and maybe in the future someone will add support for rk3588s found in orange pi 5 too but u never can know as people are random
What about 3D acceleration support for RK3588 but via official mesa? not panfork... Looks like current situation does not allow to use hardware accelerated 3d and even 2d in Waydroid (wayland based android compatibility layer for linux). Switching waydroid to use software rendering makes it working stable but nearely unusefull because of very slow work. Same Android applications on same RK3588 boards but under Android work fast enough.
Hmmm I wonder if I can run. This on the plethora of RK chips SBC I’ve wasted my wasted money on! The Issue is how Armbian never play well with displays.
Get Vulkan working so I can stop trying to do it myself. And then get proton to work with it, as I've already had Steam install and run half life 2 etc, but I obviously want more than your basic linux available steam games. So from what I understand - no vulkan = no proton = no windows PC games. Box 86 & 64 no doubt need to be involved, Wine maybe? I've heard about vulkanGL sounds promising. Please help ya?
Hey, im really interested in getting one of these, and seeing you figure out gpu enabling on Armbian has me excited. Would you mind running a game for me to see if it runs well? Please dm me if interested. Thanks!
I managed to install linux on old phone but is it possible to add something like ft232h or raspberry pi pico to make it something similar to raspberry pi .
Yes, I saw that. Unfortunately EMMC makes things more complicated. My CM4 with eMMC failed. I like totally removable storage on sbc’s. No doubt the WiFi and Bluetooth will be appreciated by some.
Can you make a video on how to adjust the CPU for performance and monitoring it? I tried the "armbian-config" command and rebooted, but I did not notice any change in performance.
Odd to see that your results for 4K60 are much worse than mine. I have the 8Gb model but that should not alter video performance. Note that there is also now an official RC candidate (March 10) of Batocera for the Pi5.

I got HW acceleration for some 2D application like video capture and encoding. But I would like to execute some games in Ubuntu and so far I not able to even start them with OpenGL.
