Khadas Edge 2 installation issues

[lofiPictures]

Hello, I am running ubuntu 22.04 on a khadas edge 2 SBC.

As per the Khadas community, I am running the following commands to install moonlight

sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install git libopus0 libexpat1 libasound2 libudev1 libavahi-client3 libcurl4 libevdev2 libenet7 libssl-dev libopus-dev libasound2-dev libudev-dev libavahi-client-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libevdev-dev libexpat1-dev libpulse-dev uuid-dev libenet-dev cmake gcc g++ fakeroot debhelper libavcodec-dev ffmpeg
git clone https://github.com/irtimmer/moonlight-embedded.git
cd moonlight-embedded
git submodule update --init
mkdir build
cd build/
cmake ../
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

and at make, I'm getting the following error:

I'v been trying to get this to work for a few days now, and tried many different things but always end up with this same error?

Maybe someone has encountered a similar issue?

Thanks for any help!

[cgutman]

The problem is that you're building with libenet-dev instead of the fork of enet included in the moonlight-common-c submodule.

Run git submodule update --init --recursive and see if that fixes it. If not, try removing the libenet-dev package.

[lofiPictures]

Thanks for the help cgutman, this got me further along in the make process, but it still choked around 96%... Here is the log, and I checked in synaptic, libenet-dev is not installed. Any other thoughts? Really appreciate the help!

here is the tail end of the log, I'll post the complete log if needed... but it's pretty long.

[cgutman]

Hmm, I'm not sure why CMake is finding MMAL. That's a library for decoding on the Raspberry Pi.

What is the expected hardware video decoding API for this device? Is there a custom build of FFmpeg or some special vendor-specific API?

[lofiPictures]

I might have some pi packages installed by mistake, I've been fooling around with things on my linux build... For the decode api, from what I can gather, the edge 2 supports GStreamer, as well as mppvideodec, maybe others. It's early days on the edge 2, so there isn't that much support yet. But this thread seems helpful:

https://forum.khadas.com/t/mali-g610-hw-decode-encode/17300

Thanks again, I'll try removing pi packages.

So I removed libraspberrypi-dev, re-ran the commands and now I'm getting this at make:

I think RKMPP is the right video decoder for your hardware. I believe that's what the mppvideodec GStreamer plugin uses under the hood.

You'll need to figure out what provides librockchip_mpp.so in your distro. The logic for Rockchip video detection is here: https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-embedded/blob/master/cmake/FindRockchip.cmake

Alternatively, if a hardware accelerated build of FFmpeg is included in your distro, you can also try moonlight-qt.

Once again thank you for your valuable insight. But I fear this is starting to get out of my comfort zone... haha! I will transfer the information to the Khadas forums, hopefully the kind folks there can make this all easier for people like me in future distros. On a side note, I was able to install Moonlight with flatpack, but as soon as I booted it up, it complained that it couldn't find a video decoder for my hardware.. I guess it's all kind of the same issue. It then switched to software decoding. It all worked, just not in a usable way. Also, the edge 2 has an android distro that can run moonlight. It performs pretty well, but I'd rather get it working on Linux. Anyway, maybe this information can help some people out in the future ;)

Cheers

I encountered problems installing moonlight with the same commands, but was able to make them work on an Edge2 in Ubuntu after installing the packages libdrm-dev and rockchip-mpp-dev packages.
