LineageOS 16.0 is another community driven OS, and is available as of April 22, 2020. LineageOS 17.1 is currently being developed, and the very first version would be available in the middle of May, 2020. CoreELEC So...you have Ubuntu Mate on SD card and Armbian on eMMC, also copied 'ODROIDBIOS.BIN' to eMMC along with Armbian to manage the two OS using the Petitboot. Right? This must be good use case using the Petitboot. Certain OS version in the SD card won't appear in the menu list after rebooting, please let me know if you have the same issue.

ii linux-image-5.16.0-odroid-arm64 5.16.16-202204242219~jammy arm64 Linux 5.16 for 64-bit ARMv8 machines The same holds for the Raspberry Pi 4 support on mainline kernels. It is a little behind. Which is why they use the Pi-sources instead of the mainline sources. Probably, given the large number of Raspberry users, they decided to go a different way with Raspberry Pi support. That it was worth the extra effort. But even then, Raspberry Pi 4 on Manjaro seems slightly slower than their Raspbian/Pi OS brother. Not sure why, but it is. No big issue, though, because Manjaro ARM is awesome. An Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (full 64-bit) image is available with Linux kernel version 4.9.218 LTS as of April 22, 2020. This LTS kernel version will be officially supported until January 2023. A hardware accelerated video decoder (VPU) driver is available now. We have c2play and kplayer examples which can play 4K/UHD H.265 60fps videos smoothly on the framebuffer of the ODROID-C4’s HDMI output. The Mali G31 GPU Linux driver works only on the framebuffer as well. If you are using ODROID M1, note that booting from NVMe is not supported. If you want to boot from eMMC, update the firmware before installing the image. libgpg-error-1.38-1-aarch64 205,6 KiB 2,01 MiB/s 00:00 [#######################################################] 100%

Other supported variants

The ODROID-C4 DDR4 RAM runs at 1320Mhz, with a memory bandwidth that is 1.6 times higher than the ODROID-C2. Kernel 5.7.0-rc3 is booting on the C4, from a Manjaro environment based on 64bit ARMv8 architecture. Means you won't have "smooth scrolling", "WebGL" or other 3D features that require working hardware acceleration on the Desktop.

Also, lead dev Alyssa mentions specifically Wayland compositors, so it appears Xorg is not really going just yet? Traditionally Linux desktops work with Xorg graphics software, but the newer work-in-progress Wayland also makes it possible to run Linux desktop software. When you look at the cost of the board, it excludes the PSU, which makes it of less value, especially when you likely already have USB-C provision at hand. IMHO, using USB-C to power an SBC is more the result of a current fad than technical necessity. USB-C is used for data, for graphics and for power, as a result you better read the documentation of the hardware AND of the cable before plugging a cable into something. This so-called universality has become a mess and it is easy to find endless online threads of users trying to solve the issue of which cable to use for what. I guess we have to thank the Apple "think different" for that, Apple being the expert at trying to establish standard that do not survive, FireWire dead, USB-C became a mess, Thunderbolt adoption been quite questionable, except in Apple world. The ARMv8 architecture supports hardware accelerated crypto extensions for building a secure system. As expected, we could see very decent openSSL performance with ODROID-C4. The specs were still much lower than that of the ODROID C1 but hey, at least the did something, right?

It of course came with the official Ubuntu Mate 20.4, but I wanted to change it to Armbian. But I do not have the eMMC to USB converter, so I was unable to connect it to my computer.

Panfrost GPU drivers are a work in progress, which likely will be available for use in a few months time, probably, via mainline Xorg Mesa. It currently supports Gnome on Wayland/Mutter. But not KDE on Xorg. And GL ES 2 support is not complete yet. So, we will have to wait on this to arrive. Video decoding is also a work in progress, also a couple of months away. I'm not sure about other hardware support. It supports quite a bit already, obviously, like ethernet, thermals and such. linux-c4-panfrost" is just the manjaro PKGBUILD https://gitlab.manjaro.org/manjaro-arm/ ... ux-aarch64
