    Phytium-based ARM PC

    As I was hoping that kernel 5.19 with improved ARM compatibility would make my Samsung Galaxy Book Go with Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 boot Linux (but so far failed), I also tested an early build of Fedora 37 on the Phytium. It boots, but I haven't done any further testing. In case you want to download...

    Phytium-based ARM PC

    I compiled PPSSPP and now I can play God of War with 3x upscaling. Unfortunately Vulkan isn't working, but this is good enough for now.

    Phytium-based ARM PC

    After AetherSX2, I was expecting that PPSSPP would run super smooth. I installed PPSSPP from FlatHub on Ubuntu 22.04. But the performance is very bad, first impression is comparable to my Pinebook Pro. Monster Hunter Freedom plays at 1x resolution and God of War is stuttering like crazy. I...

    Phytium-based ARM PC

    Although this is a 16(!) A72 ARM cores computer, someone compiled xemu (XBox emulation). I don't have XBox games, so I'm not going to try.

    Phytium-based ARM PC

    I installed AetherSX2 (PS2 emulation) on Ubuntu 22.04 on the Phytium. Very smooth, even better than my Rockchip RK3588 machine. You can download it here: https://www.aethersx2.com/archive/?dir=desktop/linux Give it executable permission: chmod +x AetherSX2-*.AppImage Get your PS2 BIOS and game...

    Mekotronics R58X Rockchip RK3588 running Debian

    I tested the Debian 11 image that Mekotronics supplied to me. Video decoding is a mess (I was expecting that) and 3D acceleration is buggy. But this is with Mesa 20.x and I think I read that they are working on supporting the RK3588 GPU. Even with just software decoding I think 1080p YouTube...

    Phytium-based ARM PC

    I started my post with the Star Lite as reference. I'm running Ubuntu 22.04 on my Phytium and you can install and run vainfo to see what is supported on the AMD RX550 in the Phytium PC. There are people who were hoping they could get YouTube running in 4K, but it looks like we don't have VP9...

    Phytium-based ARM PC

    I installed Pop!_OS 22.04 on my Star Lite Mk III (Pentium Silver N5000) laptop and looks like I have 4K Youtube playback working with Firefox. Although stats for nerds still reports a lot of dropped frames, it looks good enough to my eyes (although tested on the 1080p screen). Now I was hoping...

    Mekotronics R58X Rockchip RK3588 running Debian

    I guess there can be a lot of factors at play here. He has a board from Firefly and it is actively cooled. So that probably means he can run at higher clock speeds, as my board from Mekotronics is passively cooled. I don't know if we are using the same driver versions. And perhaps some...

    Mekotronics R58X Rockchip RK3588 running Debian

    I haven't installed Debian yet. You need to connect to a computer to install the Debian image. $250 is for the base model with 4GB memory and 32GB storage. Add $40 for shipping and I paid €32 taxes (including tax payment service fee from UPS) in NL. But I guess the taxes were not based on the...

    Mekotronics R58X Rockchip RK3588 running Debian

    The Rockchip RK3588 is a SoC that has quite some people excited. I ordered and received a STB from Mekotronics and it comes with Android TV, but it can also run Debian 11 and Ubuntu 20.04.

    Phytium-based ARM PC

    I installed Fedora 35 on a USB stick and it boots directly from the USB stick. Make sure you download the AARCH64 version (and not the HF 32-bit): https://getfedora.org/nl/workstation/download/

    Phytium-based ARM PC

    Alma Linux is already overwritten on my machine. I installed Armbian on a USB stick and I saw a similar message about EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL. cat /dev/urandom does output gibberish with Armbian. It's weird I still haven't been able to get Debian working on my machine, but Ubuntu and Armbian are...

    Phytium-based ARM PC

    For the Red Hat fans, I installed Alma Linux and it boots. I don't intend to turn it into a server, so it was just test. https://mirrors.almalinux.org/isos.html I do see a message: EFI stub: EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL unavailable, no randomness supplied It does boot, but is it a coincidence that Debian...

    Phytium-based ARM PC

    I'm not sure why I didn't find it last time, but there is a regular desktop daily build for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS ARM. https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ I installed it on the SSD and although the image is from today (10th of March) I got the notification to update and it looks like it's...
