Nanopi M4v2 support request

[purist]

The Nanopi M4v2 is out with DDR4 support, the NanoPC T4 image does not work on this board due to the DDR4. A supported DietPi image for this board would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

@purist
I linked your request to our general NanoPi M4 image request: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/2399
Hmm AFAIK then two images are required due to different RAM . Does the T4 image work well on M4 otherwise? It should in theory but not all users reported success.

[purist]

The T4 imager works for the most part, but not the M4v2.

Hey there, are there any tips for making this board (m4v2) work with Kodi (it seems to work in Armbian)?

[MichaIng]

Actually it should work, does it not?

[rothchild]

Alas no (notwithstanding that I might be doing something dumb!)

This is a freshly flashed and installed image

yes starting as non-root user is actually not possible. I guess you would need to add user group tty, video and audio to user dietpi. Anyway the original issues still persist

Can you please paste the output of this:

Code: Select all

dmesg | grep -i mali

Ah is of original thread, you used the new M4V2 image from the download page, not the T4 one, right?

[rothchild]

Code: Select all

root@DietPi:~# dmesg | grep -i mali
[   28.186654] panfrost ff9a0000.gpu: mali-t860 id 0x860 major 0x2 minor 0x0 status 0x0

Its the pukka M4v2 image: DietPi_NanoPiM4v2-ARMv8-Buster.img

[rothchild]

Any thoughts on how I can get it working?
