The Radxa Orion O6 is a single-board computer from Radxa that uniquely supports switching between ACPI and devicetree boot in its UEFI. The mainline kernel support for it with devicetree is very basic, but with ACPI boot it makes for a formidable ARM server.

Installation

See PostmarketOS Trailblazer (postmarketos-trailblazer)#Installation. The UEFI menu can be opened by pressing the escape key during boot. Currently, only ACPI boot is supported and must be selected in the UEFI.

Quirks

3D Acceleration

The Immortalis G720 has support in Mesa, but the Panthor driver in Linux does not support ACPI, therefore the GPU currently does not work.

External GPUs via the PCIe x16 (PCIe 4.0 x8 in hardware) connector have been reported to work, but results differ heavily between GPU generations and vendors.
