    Firefly Station P2 (rk3568) M2 (rk3566)

    in General chit chat

    Posted

    For those who are interested in reducing the price of Firefly RK3566\rk3568 boards. I am trying to convince Firefly representatives of the need to add rk3566\rk3568 boards without the eMMC module to the line of products sold. This will significantly reduce the price. This is especially noticeable on the variants of the eMMC module with 64\128GB. For those who plan to use these models with SATA or NVMe (after the version of the u-boot loader for SPI is finalized, for direct launch with SATA\NVMe). At the first stage, to fully start the entire system with SATA\NVMe, you can use the bootloader from the SD card. I invite everyone interested to express their opinion, so that Firefly representatives could assess the prospect of such an option for delivery.

    I received samples of P2 and M2. the first impressions are very positive. I checked the launch of the official versions of Ubuntu 18.04 from Fyrefly. Everything starts and works from the SD card. The startup process is very simple, I downloaded the image, unpacked it, wrote it to the SD card, connected it to P2\M2, turned on the power and the system automatically updated the bootloader in eMMC, rebooted and the Ubuntu system automatically started from the SD card (the regular Station system in eMMC is saved and works if there is no SD card).

     

    I really liked the mechanism for connecting SATA devices (SSD\HDD) to P2, it is very simple. I immediately connected a 240GB SSD drive. It was automatically detected and appeared in the system. WiFi antennas on P2 are full-fledged and large, they obviously did not save money here and will ensure proper operation.  :)

    I understand that this is new, so will wait for distros to catch-up with the hardware.  User 150balbes is usually out in front of everyone with his builds, so I'll be following him with interest and any of his news.

    To add M2 and P2 support to Armbian,  need to have this equipment available. To date, I do not have this equipment. A Firefly representative promised to send it, but I do not know when this will happen.

    I added this to armbianEnv.txt but it didn't seem to work. 

    This is an outdated startup option (using boot.scr and armbianENV.txt), I use extlinux. conf. You need to use a different configuration mechanism. I don't use this functionality, so I won't tell you what to do.

    Edit or delete the parameter (mem=2048M) from /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf. It is used to limit the size of RAM to ensure that the system starts on any H6 models (there are models that cannot automatically determine the memory size correctly and do not start).

    @JMCCIn all the latest versions with the Current kernel, I use the full package of patches from LE for RK (3328\3399\3288) and AW H6. I.e., this kernel has all the latest functions for HW (decoding, sound, 4K etc). It may be interesting for you to try to build test versions of the media package using the 5.x core with all the new acceleration features. If you are interested, I can create a PR for the new core. By the way, these patches work perfectly as a single core with a common configuration for all RK3399\rk3328\rk3288\h6\jetson-nano. I.e., these patches and the core configuration can be used as a single core for the entire ARM64 platform. In the logic of patches (names) I used the option that was previously discussed - the names begin with a digital index, which provides easy integration of additional patches for any platform and easy updating of patches when an update is released in the original patches of the LE build system.

    Version 20210703 for P1 and M1.

    Kernel 5.10.47 5.12.14. For the Legacy version, the work with the installation of the media package has been fixed. Due to the peculiarities of installing the media package, for proper operation during subsequent system updates, I recommend freezing the current kernel, it differs from those that arrive in network repositories (the list of supported modules and devices has been significantly expanded).

    So the question is: wich is the right way to build a Debian distro ourself?
    I have tryed ubuntu fiendlyarm. The os starts, I can enter by ssh but nothing appear on the display so, wich is the righ way to manage the hardware configuration of a custom device based on rk3399?

    IMHO the right option is to buy technical support for your model from Armbian. You will get a ready-made, normally working system and a constant update of your devices, taking into account security and new packages. As a bonus, you will get a wide selection of different Debian\Ubuntu systems with a desktop or server versions.

    Symptoms are: slow network, shutdowns, kernel panics

    Can you check the behavior of your instance on these images (they use different patches than in the official version) ? On a Firefly-roc3328-roc-cc system similar to your model, everything works stably and without problems.

     

    There are links to the images in my posts above in this topic.

     

    p/s/ if everything works correctly with my test versions, I will be able to send patches to the official version.
