It is because the blobs of Mali dont work…Any way to fix It?
it is exasperating that with a 2019 Odroid N2 I have better performance browsing and in graphic tasks, than with my new Khadas VIM4 on Linux… when using the Mali blobs programmed by the manufacturer of the SOC Amlogic, they should not have better performance than an Odroid N2 with Linux Meson OpenSource drivers? https://linux-meson.com/ That this happened in the year 2018-2019 but at this point… how is it possible that with how famous Khadas is, he does not launch projects in parallel with the Linux MainLine Kernel? They could provide better support, they could always be up-to-date with security, and on top of that they would have the support of the community.
It is due to the Ubuntu 22.04 need proporer configuration for browser to adaptor the GPU hardware acceleration with Mali blobs. And we are working on it.
At this moment, there is no mainline support for VIM4, so we can’t use the opensource gpu driver.
Being the browser a main part and the most used in a Desktop Linux, how is it possible that a final product comes out without HW support for it? Do you think it’s a browser problem or Mali blobs? Snap packages usually bring their own libraries and it is possible that they are not using the Waylands of the Mali Blob, but the internal ones
Do you plan to support as Khadas the release of VIM4 in MainLine Kernel in a reasonable period of time? Or is there some kind of contract with Amlogic or Arm that limits your active work on Main Line Kernel?
It may releated to the borwser configuration, because the desktop is hardware accelerated with Wayland GPU, and in the past we can make it work on Ubuntu 20.04 or Debian 11 which use apt to manage the pakage. but from Ubuntu 22.04 it use snap which is different to apt, so we need to figure out how it works.
Sorry, we can’t provide the clear timeline, but we are trying to do this.
Hace you a Zip/Tar with all blobs of Mali+Wayland for VIM4? Tomorrow Will work on It
Other point, at low level then A311D2 is a A311D with 64 bits Memory, more CPUs un Cluster and Dual Mali G52Mp6 Stack? G52MP8? Or only have 2 Mali Core more?
Could be adapt a A311D dts to A311D2 dts?
Many thanks for your time
Thank you for posting this excellent information and guide. One question. Where are you taking the screenshots with the the feature information, like the one that shows vulkan is diasbled, from?
And if you have figured out something new out about improving linux performance I know I would be very interested in seeing that and I would guess there are more out there that would be interested.
