Hello, I have beelink GT1 but not ultimate CPU Amlogic S912, GPU Mali-T820MP3 with 2GB and 32GB of RAM I have been trying unsuccessfully with Armbian_5.41.1_S9xxx_Debian_stretch_3.14.29_icewm_20180406 for having the same kernel so I try now with Armbian_5.37_S9xxx_Debian_stretch_3.14.29_icewm_20171226 but I do not recognize WIFI (Ateros chip CQA9377), which dtb can work? I'm still trying with vegas_s96.dtb Thanks in advance.
With 3.14 kernel, I use the dtb of android img that is stored on emmc. So this is the Beelink dtb. In fact it is automatically used when you don't put a dtb file at the root of the sd card. I'll try to install it again, since a recent upgrade broke my system (no ethernet anymore). New images (4.xx) of Balbes does not really work on my box (no ethernet and no usb even if it boots).

Do you mean that even the integrated network card (not wireless) wasn't working for you?
Yes, my box was connected to a hdmi monitor, so I can view the console login prompt, but no usb to use a keyboard and no ethernet nor wireless to connect via ssh.

Everything works with a 3.14.x kernel and module wlan, but I can't get it working with the latest kernel
I tested recently and had the same issues with an s912 tv box (gt1 ultimate) previously running a 3.14 img. I was able to boot with most dtbs cthat are compatible with the soc, but I never hab been able to use usb nor network devices.
-
Until the campaign ends and they send the boards, I should receive one (1GB). I'll be able to test if there is any armbian build for it.
I'm impressed (if verified when testing the board) by the current support status of this board. It often requires several months (years) when we look at existing boards (even if open source communities are doing a really great job).

@jeanrhum What is the difference between 5.37 and newer version, for example 5.41 with mali6?
Since I upgrade frequently, I think there is not too much difference. Armbian tools and firmware are updated as other packages. Of course there should be some specific modifications of Balbes after each update he made.
If 5.41 has mali, it is useless for me since I use my box as a server.
-
As mentionned by talraash, I use 5.37 which use kernel 3.14. I don't do anything special, but the dtb from android is used since and I don't put anyone at the root of the sd card.
The dtb from android (generally based on a 3.xx kernel for amlogic. soc) is often not compatible with kernel 4.x.
-
I tested yesterday evening your last image with my V88 mini III. I burnt your u-boot related files using rockchip opensource documentation, otherwise it booted to emmc starting android instead of sd card.
After that, I still was not able to boot even after testing all available dtbs (except android ones). I'll try too connect uart as soon as possible to give more insight of the problem.
-
I'm currently running a Beelink GT1 ultimate (S912, 3Go DDR4, 32Go) with your armbian 5.37 based on 3.14.29 debian stretch without specifying any dtb file. It is used as a server with openmediavault and homeassistant. I'm running armbian from sd card.
I just made upgrades and got armbian-config 5.64 with an uptime of 70 days.

I found that bt chip should be supported by mainline kernel, but relevant info have to be defined in device tree: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/broadcom-bluetooth.txt
I suppose that your chip is also concerned, but I'm a totally newbie concerning device tree. I tried to decompile your current dtb, but then I'm not able to make the relevant modifications to then compile and get a working dtb. The dtc command asks for uart2_pins in the best case and I don't know how to configure them.
Is there somebody else who make such broadcom bluetooth chip working with mainline?
As I understand, only allwinner chips support overlays, because armbian-add-overlay returns an error claiming that.
-
No bluetooth is not working. No device is defined. I looked at several ways to add it, but nothing work for now.
-
Surely a stupid question, but is your psu working well ? and do you use the right usb port when use connect to pc?
-
Thanks a lot, wifi works well now with fw_bcm4339a0_ag.bin from github!
In fact those files where in /lib/firmware/brcm/ (as asked by martinayotte) and not in /lib/firmware/ap6335/brcm/. I use the ones you told me to download, but I suppose that those in /lib/firmware/brcm/ should also work. You did something special to use this path?
-
Yes with many other brcmfac variants.

The image of RK3328-tv is arm64\aarch64 (64 bits). If I'm not confused, rk3288 is arm\armhf (32 bits). On arm64 the system can run the assembled arm, but on the contrary it is impossible.
You are absolutely right, I didn't consider this obvious fact...
But it suppose it may be possible for rk3399 or rk3368. The main problem is probably about u-boot compatibility (especially for rk3368).
-
Do you think your images may work on tv boxes with other rk soc, like rk3288?
I saw in the dtb folder of your images, that there is files for various rk soc.
-
Even if you don't want to support it, here is the situation with wifi:
- on ugoos ut3s it seems to be ap6335, is it similar for you?
- when i write the folowing commands:
sudo rmmod brcmfmac sudo modprobe brcmfmacI have no error on the command line, but on dmesg I can read:
[ 190.311691] brcmfmac: brcmf_fw_alloc_request: using brcm/brcmfmac4339-sdio for chip BCM4339/2 [ 190.311982] brcmfmac mmc1:0001:1: Direct firmware load for ap6330/brcm/brcmfmac4339-sdio.bin failed with error -2 [ 191.313814] brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_htclk: HT Avail timeout (1000000): clkctl 0x50brcmfmac appears with lsmod, but there is no wireless interface with iwconfig. In dmesg, i app6330 is written instead of ap6335, maybe it is the problem.
Have you any clue to solve that?
-
I had no time to look at this yesterday, but lspci does not work on most arm board, since, there is no real pci bus like on standard motherboards. I will open the box and look at the chip, or if it's too difficult to read, I suppose I can find this info on the web.
Some other elements are not working: reboot, power button and power led.
I didn't test audio, bluetooth seems to work and I successfully installed JMCC's media script.
Another annoying fact is that desktop is a bit long to launch (a few minutes) after boot seems to be finished (I can log in console and use the system).

Just another result for a rk3288 board (ugoos ut3s): http://ix.io/1mLr
I use jock armbian xenial desktop image with 4.18 kernel. This tv box has a fan, but it does not seem to work with current setting, since throttling occurs and I didn't see the fan rotating, but I go away before the end of the run. Current ambient temperature is about 24-25°C.
-
Hi jock,
Thanks for your work, I am able to boot my ugoos ut3s with your 4.18.6 image (haven't tried others). In my case, wifi doesn't work. I suppose my box haven't the same wireless chip as yours. Will make additionnal testing and will try to fix that later.
-
Mine is flashed with superceleron rom and I don't have official rom to flash it back to the device.
-
Yes, I have v88 mini III. I'll try to test your image this week-end.
Is there a specific image you want some feedback ?
-
This is https://fr.gearbest.com/media-player/pp_691659.html, but noname. I use it as a small linux desktop for children.
-
Yes, as for every linux distribution.

New result with 0.6 version: http://ix.io/1lBq
In manjaro /sys/.../cpufreq does not contain cpuinfo_cur_freq but scaling_cur_freq. I modified line 164 of your script and I will report the new results soon.
Edit: here are the new results with cpufreq values: http://ix.io/1lBy
There is no temperature values since acpi thermal_zone0 is always equal to 0. Zone2 seems more relevant, but I'm not sure.

I didn't test if wif was working (I think it wasn't), because I only used ethernet.
