Thanks for the guilde.
But I'm afriaid the biggest issues is make panfork/npu working.

@george 这太可惜了，不知道有没有什么小批量内部测试的，或者可以兼容哪些chuwi的电池模块。

总之还是工作辛苦。

这个项目现在进度如何了？我已经等不及大容量电池了。

Have you updated your mesa from apt source?
Like the post you linked said. You have to keep mesa version with coolpi ppa if you want hardware accelaration.

Kernel 5.10 is using panfork, Which is specific mesa version needed.
If you want newer version mesa you have to switch to kernel 6.10 and use panthor driver instead.

@prcups It seems same to me while I trying to make Fedora with panfrost.

About sound issue, Try to check alsamixer and unmute "left headphone mix" or "right headphone mix " something like that.

This works to me with kernel 6.1 under ubuntu.

@prcups said in Try to Use Archlinux Arm:

Have you tried this firmware for 6.1?
https://cool-pi.com/topic/581/6-1-kernel-gpu-firmware-update

最近研究了一下内核还有panfrost相关的，说点个人想法和建议。

目前看来好像 coolpi 官方是想要尽快把设备支持推到主线内核里，包括 panthor 的支持，但是我又看到有种声音是说 panthor 的性能不如那个 panfork

而且很多人为了追求 panfork 的 gpu 性能也是搞出了 kernel 6.1 + panfork 的，比如

https://github.com/Joshua-Riek/ubuntu-rockchip/tree/kernel
还有
https://cool-pi.com/topic/588/bredos-for-the-cool-pi-4b

所以这个 panfork 的性能真的差距那么大吗？panthor 我目前用感觉还好，不过还没抽空测试游戏什么的。

@nathan yeah. speaker and headphone jack working now.

First you have to compile latest version of kernel 6.1 from coolpi.

And commet out some alsa related in /etc/rc.local

Then boot into system. type alsamixer in terminal. F6 to select sound card.

Use " M" key to unmute left headphone mix and right headphone mix something like that.

Then speaker is working.

@nathan I'm using the kernel 6.1 compiled from coolpi github .
No issues with suspend.

@nathan thanks for your explanasion. I decide to use kernel 6.1 with latest mesa.

@george 我换到了 6.1 内核，就是git 最新版编译的。
也注释掉了 rc.local 里面的内容，不过依然没有声音。

后来我在 alsamixer 里看了看，把什么 left headphone mix 和 right headphone mix 之类的 unmute ，声音就回来了。

我注意到麦克风似乎还是不工作的，不过目前也没什么用到麦克风的场景，就先不测试了。

@george Thanks for info，I'll try it out now.

LOL
I found the "Panfork mesa version 24.05" preinstalled from coolpi ppa is just from mesa 23.05 renamed.

I dont care about npu. Just waiting speaker and sound fix for kernel 6.1.

@nathan said in 6.1 Kernel GPU firmware update:

Panfork

So only the "Panfork Mesa" will work with kernel 5.10 bsp, Right?

I just wanted to say that I am using a preinstalled Ubuntu 24.04 with Kernel 5.10 BSP. Now, Ubuntu is prompting me that there is a new version of Mesa available for update, and the "Panfork" version of Mesa is outdated. I would like to know if there are any manuals or tutorials that I can refer to for building the latest Mesa with Panfork, so that my 5.10 BSP Kernel can continue to work.

看起来Ubuntu 的 Mesa 更新了，PPA G610 里的已经过期了。
是不是应该更新一下了？或者有没有对应手册说明我可以自己编译新Mesa with Panfrost
还是说其他 PPA 的 Mesa 默认也支持 Panfrost？

昨天看到6.1又有了新的提交，不过今天编译后发现还是没声音。

期待能放出做其他发行版的教程和手册，我可以做个 fedora 的。
也可以考虑开个讨论频道，IRC 也行，这样速度快一点。

可以考虑给一些热衷于开发板的社区送点设备做一些宣发，让他们做一些系统支持。
学clockwork pi和 pine64那样。

我看到 armbian 已经参与了，不过也不太深入。（可能它们开口要钱？）

@george 辛苦了，最近看到内核的更新都是晚上。
