No, I did not manually installed this kernel, apt installed it as a dependency for wireguard

September 26, 2023

First, I have installed latest Armbian 23.8 Bookworm CLI, boot works fine, I can login

Then, I have installed wireguard. As a dependency, wireguard install linux-image-6.1.0-12-rt-armmp

After reboot device is unavailable in network (orange LAN LED blinking while green does not, I assume ethternet broken with this kernel)

Requests to yandex blocked by most providers in Ukraine. So, apt failed to pull new updates when roundrobin returns yandex as a mirror

July 26, 2022

Issue:

1. I have Armbian 22.05 installed on emmc

2. I have run apt upgrade

3. During the process, I got an error due stated that no space on /boot

4. I have tried to reboot but no sign that board starting

5. I have burn SD, load from SD, copy SD boot to emmc boot and than can boot from emmc again

The main question is how to prevent this issue in future? How to clean-up /boot from obsolete kernels and avoid space issue?

I have installed latest Armbian Buster

Linux orangepi3 5.10.16-sunxi64 #21.02.2 SMP Sun Feb 14 21:17:31 CET 2021 aarch64 GNU/Linux

Than I have complied

Should I wait for kernel 5.11 with i2s patch? Or I should compile own kernel with LibreELEC patches?

Recently upgraded kernel from 5.7 to 5.8.6-sunxi

Unfortunately, got few kernel panics today. How to rollback to previous?

Besides current you could give dev branch a shot as well. From what I have noticed so far is that the performance of the 3d hardware acceleration is better on 5.6 than on 5.4.

Thanks

Unfortunately, when I am trying to switch kernel, I got an exception every time

cat /tmp/switch_kernel.log
linux-image-dev-sunxi64=20.02.12.114 linux-dtb-dev-sunxi64=20.02.12.114 linux-u-boot-orangepi3-dev

Yes if you are planing to compile "current" kernel for Allwinner.

While I am not sure we are missing anything important ...

Thanks Igor

I have found topic

with advice to apply patches

Had a bit of a success with HDMI audio and also video acceleration on OrangePi 3. What was needed was to apply some patches from LibreELEC, namely ones from projects/Allwinner/patches/linux/ .

For video acceleration you need 0005-cedrus-improvements.patch and compile Cedrus driver. When done right you should see in dmesg: cedrus 1c0e000.video-codec: Device registered as /dev/video0

Do you know if this patches already included into Armbian?

With latest available armbian for orange pi 3 hw acceleration is not available, so I am trying to build kernel and kodi for Armbian with full mmedia support

April 26, 2020

Hi guys,

I am going to apply some LibeELEC multimedia patches to Armbian kernel

Please advise, what is the proper way for this?

I have found folder build/userpatches/kernel/sunxi-current. Should I put files here?

April 24, 2020

I have another issue.

I can setup WiFi using nmtui. But it requires connect using ethernet or TTL. If I just set wpa_supplicant.conf, WiFi not works. Do we have any tutorial for Armbian how to setup wifi by editing config on sd card?

November 21, 2019

Hi guys!

Is it possible to include this patch into Armbian tree?

patch: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/2019-June/031168.html

explanation: https://habr.com/ru/post/456476/

November 18, 2019

I have 2 questions:

1. how far Armbian on Opi3 from stable point?

2. did someone compare performance Kodi on Armbian over LibreELEC? Is LibreELEC significantly faster?

That is really not the way to install Armbian to eMMC !

Why you don't want to use nand-sata-install ?

Because I dont want to erase mmc

If this is not possible, I will backup partition with dd, install using nand-sata-install and restore partition from backup

October 9, 2019

Wrote latest image to SD
Boot from SD
mounted /dev/mmcblk2p1, copied armbianEnv.txt
formated /dev/mmcblk2p1
rsync /boot to /dev/mmcblk2p1
copy armbianEnv.txt to /dev/mmcblk2p1
removed sd and reboot

system starts to boot, but can not find root

Is this a proper way to install boot? I do not want to tun nand-sata-install and erase mmc.

October 8, 2019

Is it possible to boot from sd and recover /boot on mmc?

How do you check the U-Boot?

Maybe I am wrong, but uBoot has version with timestamp like 201904, therefore I assume it was not change during last upgrade.

No boot after today upgrade and reboot

U-boot wroks fine. Is it possible to recover system without reflash?

Advanced users - Development · August 4, 2019

Great, thanks. And last question^ when are you going to switch to 5.3? HW watchdog is must have thing for such unstable system like OPi3

Feel free to build your own image using the build script including the latest changes at any time

Yeah, it is possible to build Armbian_5.93_Orangepi3_Debian_buster_dev_5.2.5.img

I have a qustion: do you have a tutorial to set up apt server to update kernel/dtb instead of reflashing?

Advanced users - Development · August 4, 2019

I have built an image for OPi3. Is it possible to upgrade just kernel without re-flashing whole system?

July 16, 2019

As per http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort Watchdog support for H6 merged into 5.3

Is it possible to use hw watchdog now? Maybe, compile some kernel module?

After updating to new firmware the board not booting and wait on u-boot state

=> version
U-Boot 2019.04-armbian (May 08 2019 - 10:38:01 +0200) Allwinner Technology

Please advice, is it possible to upload new image somehow? I mean, without flashing sd card, just in u-boot console

June 16, 2019

Please advice, how to restore old dtb files? After upgrade to 5.1.7 (debian), OPi3 system became unstable and hang in maximum 50 minutes (sometimes immediately after reboot)

Tried to rollback
