There is just a serial connection for video out, unless you buy a GPU for the pcie slot. I put in an older AMD RX 550. It works fine- no 3d acceleration yet.

I've added at least some of the AMD GPU modules to the Kernel for the next build, but probably missed the HDMI stuff.

Code:

root@honey:~# dmesg | grep amdg
[  106.191032] [drm] amdgpu kernel modesetting enabled.
[  106.191230] amdgpu: DSDT table not found for OEM information
[  106.191234] amdgpu: IO link not available for non x86 platforms
[  106.191236] amdgpu: Virtual CRAT table created for CPU
[  106.191258] amdgpu: Topology: Add CPU node

I'd prefer if we can bring up the graphics early from within the OS InitRD but there's 562 firmware blobs listed (See modinfo amdgpu | grep -i firmwa). Obviously not all of it is required for that specific card (I don't know which is though), but you can probably figure it out once we work out how how to enumerate the PCI bus. I'm pretty sure enumeration works on the RockPro64 since I'd experimented with loading modules conditionally upon their presence, but I'd need to boot those machines up again to be certain.

Has anyone been able to get Widevine working on a recent -current release? I built a patch glibc (2.39) using the methods listed in this thread, but I cannot get widevine working. I tested the SlackBuild and using this script to no avail. Any thoughts at what I could be doing wrong? Thanks.

Welp...this was a fresh aarch64, but I'm a tad behind on updates. I should have known when the glibc version was 2.39. Doing an upgrade now.

I am now using the latest -current (as of 8/18/2024). I rebuilt glibc using Stuart's method to apply the widevine patches. I still can't get DRM videos to play in either Firefox or Chromium. My apologies if I missed something. I started diving back into Slackwarearm after a long break.

So, I finally had some time to revisit this again with a fresh mind. After following the steps as shown in this link, I was able to finally get Widevine working. For widevine itself, I used the official git repo installation script.
