Hi,
I just wanted to inform you that yesterday I have migrated from linux-vim (5.11.13) to linux-amlogic-512 kernel (5.12.0-1-ARCH) on my X96Max+ (S905X3, Mali G31).
The box booted up without problems and sound is working! When running glmark2-es2 I get a score of about 225 (using XFCE and mesa-git) which is the same as using the linux-vim kernel.
The only problem I had was that internal wifi was broken because chewitts rtl8822cs driver did not compile anymore.
But fortunately after some research I found a solution and therefore I have built a new driver package that you can download here: 3.58 MB file on MEGA
You can install and activate the driver like this:
- sudo pacman -U dkms-rtl8822cs-aml-2020.11.20-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
- sudo modprobe 88x2cs
Please notice that linux-amlogic-512-headers has to be installed before running above commands for the driver to install correctly. You can install it with
- sudo pacman -S linux-amlogic-512-headers
Thumps up to @spikerguy for bringing us another set of new kernels!
