Ok, I thought perhaps you were following some special instructions for editing the dts.

 

I am working through a similar process to enable i2s1 on the NanoPC T4. So far I am just converting and editing the dtb files in a standard Armbian install. You can also install dtbo overlays, which I think is more robust.

Hi s_frit,

thank you for you reply.

I've used dtc to decompile, edit and recompile the dtb files. Now the i2s1 seems to be enabled; the problem that I've is that the audio card that I've added in dtb is not available... listing the audio device using "aplay -l" , "arecord -l" "cat /proc/asound/cards"  and also /proc/asound/pcm" commands not show the new peripheal..  Any suggestion ?

How I can install dtbo overlays to edit dtb in more robust way?

Can you give a link to the FriendlyArm wiki page that you are talking about please? I don't see any instructions on modifying the dtsi on the NanoPC-T3 Plus page.

 

You can install the standard Armbian image then use `dtc` (device tree compiler) to decompile the flattened device tree .dtb somewhere under /boot/dtb, then edit the .dts, then recompile it to .dtb. This is not the only way, maybe not even the best way, but it is one way to do it. If you are lucky the Armbian .dtb already has the node for i2s1 and you can just edit a few parameters.

 

My understanding though is that it is not enough to enable the i2s, you also need a codec and to set up a simple-audio-card node. But please provide the link to the FriendlyArm wiki as this will help to be clear about what you are trying to do.

Hi s_frit,

I've followed the instruction at http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPC-T3#Make_Your_Own_OS_Image 

I've edited the dts file before recompile the kernel.

In the nanopcT3+ board I need to enable the I2S1 (14 pin header) in Desktop version.
I need to have the I2S1 peripheal as SLAVE and a MCLK of 48kHz and 192kHz (better if other clock speed are supported).
The "aplay -l" and "arecord -l" commands must show the I2S1 as a sound card with input ad output device.

I've tried to do the job but I'm a newbbie on linux and embedded linux. Following the official FriendlyArm wiki, on a host PC I've downloaded the kernel source, modified the dtsi file to enable i2s, recompiled the kernel and U-boot and all steps seem work fine.

Now I don't know how to do a final steps to have a SD bootable image with eflasher to load and test my distro in the NanoPC T3+ emmc.

Anyone can explain step by step (from download the source code up to flash the bootable image (also with emmcflasher inside) to SDcard) how to do to enable this feature in Desktop version of Armbian.
Thanks in advance!
