ODROID-N2GPU Drivers, Linux 5.0, and Impressive glmarks-es2 Score

ODROID-N2was announced last February for $63 (2GB RAM), and $79 (4GB RAM), but Hardkernel was not quite ready to take orders at the time. One of the good news is that the 4GB RAM is nowavailable for pre-orderwith shipping scheduled to start on April 3.

Another good news is on the software side with Hardkernelhaving releasedthe userland Mali-G52 Wayland driver. It does not work well with Linux 4.9 due to incomplete DRM implementation, but it goes work with Linux 5.0 plus some modifications as further discussed in the aforelinked forum thread.

The screenshot above, courtesy of odroid forum member memeka , shows ODROID-N2 running Ubuntu 18.04 + Gnome3 + Linux 5.0 on top of Wayland with GPU drivers providing acceleration as shown by glmark2-es2-wayland test program.

The benchmark results are pretty impressive:


I’ve never seen such as high score (1,119 points) on Arm hardware. But at the same time, I’ve never run the wayland version of the benchmark, so that may partially explain it. For reference,RockPro64 RK3399 SBCgets 48 points in the onscreen test (default), and 201 points in the offscreen test. I could not find results for glmark2-es2-wayland for Rockchip RK3399 despitebeing supported。因此,我们必须查看Mali-G52MP GPU的一部分是更高的分数,而Wayland在XORG/X11上的使用是哪一部分。

As far as I remember from the N1, glmark2-es2-wayland results were in the 800-900 range for RK3399, but with a 32bit blob and userland. But I doubt it would have been bigger on 64bit userland.

Jean-Luc在测试时如何只能获得48分?这仅仅是X11和Wayland之间的区别吗?

Two words: buffer management. For the on-screen tests, the presentation part of the pipeline has been the bane of most GLX/EGL stacks. It doesn’t matter how quick a GPU is, if the presentation part does memcpy between FBs/RTs/pixelbuffers/etc. For the off-screen tests, one’d need to profile, but I’d wager some buffer management shenanigans at play as well. Wayland traditionally solves the presentation part.

That’s right, vsync is a factor in on-screen. I was referring to the registered difference in performance of N1 under wayland and x11 whether on-screen or off-screen.

I half recall reading some where that the drivers only work on the VPU, is that right?

I’d suggest taking Linux 5.x benchmarks with a pinch of salt, as apparently a lot of hardware benchmark a lot higher on Linux 5.x, but there’s no real world performance gain.

真的?我在phoronix上看到了一些Linux 5.0基准,并且某些测试的性能下降了

显然至少在某些手臂硬件上。不确定其他平台。亚博体育官下载

what about 4k opengles?

glmark should support something like offscreen rendering. so it should be possible to run test with 4k resolution

To date, a large majority of MALI models, can support Wayland. I am just as curious, to see turning Kodi with a VPU able to be used, something that I doubt following my many tests.
如果Amlogic Kern编解码器仍然可用el 5.0, we will have to use Framebuffer, or Xorg.

there are no x11 drivers, arm stopped providing them in recent mali DDKs.
对于N2,没有5.0上的Amlogic编解码器,但它们正在为较旧的Amlogic Soc(S805,S905)工作。因此,我敢肯定,N2也很快就会出现。
Kodi is ok on wayland on gbm.

I did not know for “X11”, remains to see if an buildroot has AMLogic is planned officially, with the use of the Framebuffer and these codecs.
I doubt the Dream team is designing their own video accelerator for the “Dreambox One”, I think, they relied on the ports (/dev/amstream, /dev/amvideo…), and official codecs.

Very bad radiator design, board will overheat during benchmark and any CPU intensive task.
