Supported devices
- This guide is valid for Airtop, Airtop2, Airtop3
Prepare installation media
- A USB Flash drive of at least 2GB should be used as installation media
- Download Linux Mint 20 "Ulyana" - Cinnamon (64-bit)
- For installation with a USB Flash drive, please follow How to install Linux Mint via USB tutorial
LiveUSB installer crash on Quadro RTX 4000
- In case your machine is configured with Quadro RTX4000 and experience crashes/freezes while LiveUSB installer running, please expand and follow the below:
- To perform boot into "Safe Graphics" mode, add "nomodeset" parameter to the kernel boot line:
- Power-on the Airtop3 with LiveUSB installer
- Boot menu will appear, default entry will be "Start Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon 64-bit"
- Press [e] to enter edit mode
- Add "nomodeset" after the "splash", the end of line will look like "quiet splash nomodeset --"
- Press [F10] to continue the boot
- You will need to add "nomodeset" option once again, after base installation of Linux Mint and reboot
- The problem will disappear after installing Nvidia graphics card drivers
Base installation of Linux Mint
- Follow the standard Linux Mint installation procedure - choose timezone, partitions, username, password etc.
- Disconnect the installation media and reboot.
- Login using previously selected username and password.
I3M
- To install I3M Linux Daemon on Airtop, please expand and follow the below:
- Download I3M monitoring tools:
$ sudo wget https://fit-iot.com/files/download/airtop/sw/I3M/Linux/airtop-fpsvc -O /usr/local/sbin/airtop-fpsvc $ sudo wget https://fit-iot.com/files/download/airtop/sw/I3M/Linux/gpu-thermald -O /usr/local/sbin/gpu-thermald $ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/*
- Fix dependencies:
$ lib_path="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu" $ [ -e $lib_path/libsensors.so.4 ] || sudo ln -s $lib_path/libsensors.so.*.0.0 $lib_path/libsensors.so.4
- Create file /etc/rc.local with the following content:
#!/bin/bash modprobe i2c-i801 sleep 1 /usr/local/sbin/airtop-fpsvc [ "$(lspci -nn | grep VGA | grep 10de:)" ] && /usr/local/sbin/gpu-thermald exit 0
- Make it executable:
$ sudo chmod +x /etc/rc.local
- Ensure I3M panel is working
$ sudo /etc/rc.local
- Reboot, ensure I3M panel is still working
$ sudo reboot
Missing Built-in Audio
- There is a audio bug in kernel 5.4 you may encounter on your Airtop
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205959
- Symptoms: no sound from both Front and Rear analog audio outputs
- To fix please expand and follow the below:
- On Airtop in Linux both "Rear Audio" and "Front Audio" can not work in the same time
- By default enabled "Rear Audio". If you want to switch to "Front Audio":
- Press [DEL] during boot to enter the BIOS settings - BIOS -> Quick-Settings -> Rear/Front Audio -> [Front Audio] or [Rear Audio] - Press [F4] Save and Exit
- Open file /etc/default/grub for editing
- Add "snd-intel-dspcfg.dsp_driver=1" to the end of kernel boot line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash snd-intel-dspcfg.dsp_driver=1"
- Update grub settings
$ sudo update-grub2 Sourcing file `/etc/default/grub' .. done
$ sudo reboot
- Test audio output
Menu -> Sound -> Output -> Built-in Audio Analog Stereo (it's not dynamic, nothing changes after plug/unplug headphones) Click on "Test Sound", then on "Front Left" and "Front Right", check if it hear it from headphones
Intel video acceleration drivers
$ sudo apt update $ sudo apt install va-driver-all mint-meta-codecs vainfo
Then run vainfo command, you should see list of supported profiles, for example on airtop3:
$ vainfo libva info: VA-API version 1.7.0 libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_7 libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0 vainfo: VA-API version: 1.7 (libva 2.6.0) vainfo: Driver version: Intel iHD driver for Intel(R) Gen Graphics - 20.1.1 () vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints VAProfileMPEG2Simple : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileMPEG2Main : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointEncSliceLP VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointEncSliceLP VAProfileJPEGBaseline : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileJPEGBaseline : VAEntrypointEncPicture VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointEncSliceLP VAProfileVP8Version0_3 : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileHEVCMain : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileHEVCMain10 : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVP9Profile0 : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVP9Profile2 : VAEntrypointVLD
Nvidia graphics card drivers
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa $ sudo apt update $ nvidia_driver=$(apt-cache search "nvidia-driver-[0-9][0-9][0-9]" | grep -o "nvidia-driver-[0-9][0-9][0-9]" | sort | tail -1) $ sudo apt install $nvidia_driver vdpauinfo $ sudo reboot
- Then run nvidia-smi command, you should see current NVIDIA card status:
$ watch -n1 nvidia-smi Wed Jul 22 07:03:52 2020 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | NVIDIA-SMI 450.57 Driver Version: 450.57 CUDA Version: 11.0 | |-------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | GPU Name Persistence-M| Bus-Id Disp.A | Volatile Uncorr.

Using both Intel and Nvidia graphics card
- Want to connect up 7 displays simultaneously?
- Press [DEL] during boot to enter the BIOS settings - Set "Chipset -> system Agent (SA) Configuration -> Graphics Configuration -> Internal Graphics" to [Enabled] - Press [F4] to save and exit - Boot to Linux Mint - All connected displays will appear in the "Display" section
Noise mitigation on Nvidia graphics card
- To reduce the noise need to set PowerMizer Mode to "Prefer Consistent Performance"
- From GUI:
Menu -> NVIDIA X Server Settings -> PowerMizer -> Preferred Mode: "Prefer Consistent Performance"
- The same from command line:
$ nvidia-settings -a "[gpu:0]/GPUPowerMizerMode=3"
- To make the setting permanent:
Menu -> Startup Applications -> "+" -> Custom command Name: NVIDIA PowerMizer Settings Command: nvidia-settings -a "[gpu:0]/GPUPowerMizerMode=3" Comment: Set working mode "Prefer Consistent Performanse" to reduce noise
MPV media player
- Well known free and open-source multimedia player
- Supports GPU accelerated video decoding including CUDA decoding on NVIDIA GPUs and gives excellent playback quality
- Compatible with the most popular video formats
$ sudo apt install mpv
For example, Airtop3 with Quadro RTX 4000 is capable to play 4K UHD using CUDA video decoding without significant system load:
$ mpv -fs ~/Videos/jellyfish/jellyfish-140-mbps-4k-uhd-hevc-10bit.mkv (+) Video --vid=1 (*) (hevc 3840x2160 29.970fps) (+) Audio --aid=1 (*) (truehd 6ch 48000Hz) AO: [pulse] 48000Hz 5.1(side) 6ch s32 VO: [gpu] 3840x2160 yuv420p10 AV: 00:00:30 / 00:00:30 (99%) A-V: 0.000 Cache: 0.0s/2KB
