I flashed image Ubuntu 16.04.
The log Xorg.0.log contains an error:
"AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/dri/rockchip_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/dri/rockchip_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)".
You can fix this?

Anyone can confirm hdmi input is working now in linux? Otherwhise I send the board back to firefly and ask my money back. Too many promises, no clear communication at all

Ok, sorry is nice. But you promised it when you launched on kickstarter, so sorry is not enough.

It is part of the package you sold to customers, so people paid for it already.

Clear answer please: when is the linux driver going to be ready? What exact date?

Hi ittai
we never put the firefly-rk3288 reload board to kickstarter ,even the firefly-rk3288,we only put the firefly-rk3399 board to it,
so ,do we really promise that? Could you please show we where ,Because we totally can't remember this promise?

Hi ittai
Sorry for the misunderstand the HDMI IN support in linux . we didn't tested the HDNI IN function in linux before.after server backer's advise, we do the test,then ,we find there are some source code we can't get,and we try and have nothing,we are sorry to tell you guys that we can't support it ,Sorry for all about this.

Ok, I understand. So you will never have it, right?

Please: next time, instead of saying on the forum it is a uvc device, then afterwards say you are working on it, then say it is 'not ready', before saying: we cannot have it. Please, just say it honestly from the beginning.

We have been looking for this for a long time, spent hours on it. Then waited for it to get delivered all the way from china. Then have staff spending hours try to make it work, we lost a lot of time because of that. If you just admit it doesn't work, it's no big deal, we would not have bought it and moved on.

Good communication with customers is the key, if something goes wrong : just admit it. It's no big deal.
