[11:50:36] <Tsvetan_> jonas: thanks for the blog post
[11:52:34] <Tsvetan_> jonas: about RK3328 first we try Redxa but what they have on their web is total crap, the linux images are only headless, there are no sources, broken links or if you compile the sources the result doesn't match the binaries
[11:55:18] <jonas> I am not surprised
[11:56:23] <Tsvetan_> fortunately Armbian also supports RK3328, so we try pure Armbian build, librga2, mpv-legacy, mpp, mali, gl4es, kodi-gbm, gst-rockchip directly from the armbian repo. right now we test if everything works with our hardware, there is still one issue with the USB-OTG the power supply is not enabled in host mode, when we clean everything we will send directly our patches to Armbian no need to duplicate
[11:56:53] <jonas> the World need distributors, to *maintain* integration of software pieces - otherwise that connection persist too often only in too short moments in time
[11:56:54] <Tsvetan_> and will point to their repo
[11:58:13] <Tsvetan_> the video player do not support all formats, but plays well .mov and most .mp4 which is enough
[17:19:40] <Tsvetan_> just noticed this on twitter https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/8bcab0346d4fcf21b97046eb44db8cf37ddd6da0
[17:20:14] <Tsvetan_> 1 year old bug still there :)
[17:23:17] <mps> :)
[17:23:42] <mps> github is owned by MS, what to expect :D
