<Kanken> does anyone here know if armbian for the orange pi zero 2 supports the mali gpu inside for hardware acceleration? I know that the original ubuntu image did not, and at that time only the android version had a very basic implementation of that but at this first release armbian also didn't support this device, so now i'm wondering if things moved since then
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> If it's a mali g31 and rubs on mainline it MUST work out of the box with panfrost
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> I am talking about gpu acceleration, not media decoding, that's vpu
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> My radxa zero use the same gpu and runs with gpu acceleration just fine on mainline
<Armbian-Discord>
<Kanken> out of the box on armbian specifically?
<Armbian-Discord>
<Kanken> or on the stock distro
<Armbian-Discord>
<Kanken> the official OPI documentation states that there is no gpu support on linux but there is on android
<Armbian-Discord>
<Kanken> that's why i was curious about how armbian could handle it
<Armbian-Discord>
<lanefu> The allwinner h616 doesn't have good kernel support
<Armbian-Discord>
<Kanken> aight... guess i'll have to just try and run it, see how bad the performance is or if armbian is able to run what i need it to run at all
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> Yes, I was referribg to mainline
<Armbian-Discord>
<Kanken> i haven't actually tried armbian on my opi at all yet, i was just trying to see what to excpect and read up some documentation first
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> Okay, does it have emmc built-in?
<Armbian-Discord>
<Kanken> yes iirc
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> Okay, you will probably need a uart to erase it.
<Armbian-Discord>
<lanefu> @Werner know anything about present state of zero2
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> Bc the emmc uboot will probably disallow you to boot armbian mainline
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> From sd card
<Armbian-Discord>
<Kanken> actually... even though the doc i was reading mentions emmc, the one provided by my specific seller doesn't
<Armbian-Discord>
<Kanken> is it some kind of onboard storage apart from the micro sd?
<Armbian-Discord>
<Kanken> if so i beleive i don't have it, so it shouldn't be a problem
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> Okaaa
<Armbian-Discord>
<MicroLinux (Salva)> The better
<Armbian-Discord>
<Werner> My info is probably outdated. Did not play with that for a while now
