Hi,

this is a good news... one question: was it tested with Kodi? Should we expect to have it working out of the box?

And another question: are you planning to release also the Lubuntu image without dual boot?

Thanks,
zeno

Hi zeno:
the kodi can't work smoothly with this version.the GPU havn't worked on it's  full-pow,and also with the VPU . so,we have much more work to do .
We have a plan to fix these problems. however，We're actually a bit short-handed at the moment. The good news is we will build a alliance with some  people who are good at it.
so,if everything goes well . It shouldn't take a very long time to get these problems solved.

yes,the Lubuntu alone image will release very soon.

Hello Isle,

Thanks for your hard work !

I'd like to ask you some questions :

In this image, the node /dev/dri/card0 exists whereas in the previous ones, it didn't.
What driver is responsible for exporting this node ?

You used armsoc for the X11 graphic driver which is, I believe, an open source driver. Wouldn't the closed source X11 driver from ARM itself work better ?

Also, my screen (hdmi) regularly blacks out, for 1-2 seconds.

if somebody get   mistake when update the dualboot image . pls try this on windows system.

Hello Isle,

Thanks for your hard work !

This image use DRM replaced the rockchip's framebuffer manager. So.the previous ubuntu havn't.
and we will open this source code less than two weeks.

Yes,we know,we use armsoc so  the gpu(maliT760) can run  .

and the hdmi problem,we haven't this appearance. could you give more informations?
