Hi @darkstar,

When I used firefox cpu usage was %100 it points me that hardware acceleration is not enabled or does not work properly

I usually use command line to launch Firefox:

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland GDK_BACKEND=wayland MOZ_ACCELERATED=1 MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 MOZ_WEBRENDER=1 firefox --private

Copy the Code

With this the YouTube streaming performance improve especially on CPU resources.

Just an update on Manjaro-Arm-Gnome on Beelink GT King Pro.

I was facing stability issue on BeelinK GT King Pro with mainline linux-5.15.y and 5.16.y recently (stability was good before that).  Always had issue with linux-vim kernel since it switched to tobetter branch.

@spikerguy did a great job in resolving it with this **[Manjaro-ARM-gnome-gtking-pro-20220125.img.xz](https://github.com/manjaro-arm/gtking-pro-images/releases/download/20220125/Manjaro-ARM-gnome-gtking-pro-20220125.img.xz)** build, using bootscript.method.

This new Manjaor-Arm image works on USB Flash but somehow did not boot up on SD Card (Samsung Evo Plus Class 10 U3).

So far works smoothly and no more kernel panic issue to date.  FYI, this is still a development image as such is on Unstable Branch.  It can boot on any of the GT King Pro USB 3.0 or OTG Ports and with HDD attached on any ports.  Thank you @spikerguy

There are two drawbacks I noticed. First is the reported available RAM is 3.25GB instead of 3.69GB when using chainloader u-boot.ext image.  And second it sometimes does not "Shutdown" cleanly meaning when you "Power Off" from the "Menu" the device still have the Power LED ON and it does NOT Reboot either (just like on Manjaro mainline linux kernel).

Just updated to latest Unstable updates and is now on linux-khadas-5.16.7-1.

Hi @spikerguy

I found a firmware can drive wifi-6 chip up(AP6275S), put the firmware file(attached bellow) into /lib/firmware/brcm/ then restart, wlan0/phy device can be found, but wifi scan function not working
It seems like some userspace or brcmfmac driver not working well, do you have any ideas?

You need to change its name.

Can you provide me the output of the following command ?

sudo dmesg | grep brcm

This will show which file is the kernel looking for then you can place these files as those filenames and hopefully it should work.

I will try this files on other device which uses the same wifi chip.
Thanks.

Hi @spikerguy,

Starting with kernel linux-aml-6.1.29-1 to linux-aml-6.1.35-1 these kernel now iare stable when booting up using the "chainloader u-boot.ext" and extlinux.conf. The available RAM is 3.69GB compared to booting up with "bootscript" method 3.26GB.

Both Manjaro-Arm-Gnome and Manjaro-Arm-KDE are stable and responsive.

New development in Manjaro-Arm-Linux. Now vpu hardware acceleration on mpv is available on this Manjaro-Arm-Linux.

https://forum.manjaro.org/t/mpv-0-36-how-to-setup/144958/89

Manjaro-Arm-linux is one of the very few having mpv on mainline kernel with vpu hw acceleration.
