What kernel version are you using now, and what was the linux version that failed before?
If you can't remember:
cat /var/log/apt/term.log |grep linux-image

I am checking now
Before installing plymouth, I checked that panel-mipi-dbi-spi is still loaded late:
Spoilerroberto@orangepizero3:~$ dmesg|grep panel

The LCD works with plymouth: it starts the LCD earlier, with a smaller font, then switches to normal font, showing all the boot messages
My armbian is not setup yet with lightdm+openbox (x11) or greetd+gtkgreet+labwc (wayland)... I will continue tomorrow

Currently trying to follow the manual
https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man8/initramfs-tools.8.html#configuration hook scripts
I want to include this file:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 100 Dec 25 2024 /lib/firmware/panel-mipi-dbi-spi.binCreating this file:

Then I updated the initrd:

I am using my orange pi zero 3 with an SPI 4.0" LCD, with driver panel-mipi-dbi-spi. It works great with Linux 6.13.7 (started with a self built image with edge, minimal, Bookworm) and older, but I am having troubles with 6.14.8.
Result from armbianmonitor -u after upgrading to linux 6.14.8:
sudo apt install linux-image-edge-sunxi64=25.5.1
I reboot and the SPI LCD starts the text mode console, then turns black instead of starting lightdm

Also xorg log after "sudo startx" fails to start.

roberto@orangepizero3:~$Just downgrading to Linux 6.13.7 allows the 4.0" SPI LCD to work again.
Dowgrading the linux package did not cause a downgrade of X11 (version 1.21.1.7).
The small LCD always works ok in text mode. The driver is DRM but it is using the X11 fbdev submodule
The fbdev.conf file:
Spoilerroberto@orangepizero3:~$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbdev.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "myfb"
Driver "fbdev"
Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb0"
EndSectionUsing an HDMI screen is not affected
When I disable the fbdev conf file
sudo mv 99-fbdev.conf 99-fbdev.conf.disabled
Then x11 fails in another way:

Probably here is the solution https://github.com/agherzan/meta-raspberrypi/issues/1389 rebuilding mesa with some extra dependencies
Bookworm containg mesa 22.3.6 right now, but Trixie contains mesa 25.0.5
I tried the same in Trixie and Sid, but still get the same error: not able to load panel-mipi-dbi_dri.so
I have a newly built armbian OS with kernel 6.15.x... I will try it later today.
-
I haven't tested this... but I see that pins PH1, PI11, PI14 are not connectable in the orange pi zero 3.
Only PH3 would be connectable. Is this correct?
Is there an overlay to get PWM in PH2? (i read in the post from April 5 that it can be a PWM pin)
-
Thank you, I found the manual for initramfs-tools and hooks ... it looks like I can do it

Hello WDR_s,
If you upgraded kernel recently, did you have any problem starting X11 (or lightdm, or desktop)?
I started with a downloaded arm minimal image with linux 6.12, and my DTS would bring up the panel-mipi-dbi-spi driver correctly in text mode, but X11 can't start.
When I have my normal 99-fbdev.conf, I get this: FBDEV(0): FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument,
When I remove 99-fbdev.conf and let X11 setup everything automatically, X11 complains about needing panel-mipi-dbi_dri.so.
I restored an old armbian OS backup with linux 6.11, and everything worked normally.
You are using a different LCD driver, did you have any problem?
-
labwc is available in debian trixie:
Start with a minimal armbian install
Make sure your /dev/fb0 is DRM, not framebuffer
$ sudo apt install seatd labwc foot
$ labwc -s foot
-
I am having trouble with my SPI LCD, which uses driver panel-mipi-dbi
It works great when I use a minimal Armbian image, but with a desktop image it doesn't work. This is because package "plymouth" does something in the ko loading order: it loads panel-mipi-dbi too early.
Plymouth provides a graphical boot animation.
The driver depends on a binary file /lib/firmware/panel-mipi-dbi-spi.bin (but the file name could change depending on the DTS)
At boot time, I saw that the panel-mipi-dbi.ko is loaded BEFORE the EXT4 in the microSD is mounted... and the binary file is not in the initrd.img-version (checked with lsinitramfs)
Is it possible to add something in /etc/initramfs-tools/ to include /lib/firmware/panel-mipi-dbi-spi.bin ?
With my Raspberry Pi (Raspbian) I don't have this problem, because the panel-mipi-dbi driver is loaded AFTER EXT4-fs (and it also uses plymouth)
I found that when plymouth is not installed, usr/lib/modules/6.15.0-edge-sunxi64/modules.dep doesn't have this line
kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/tiny/panel-mipi-dbi.ko: kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_mipi_dbi.ko
Also, in Raspbian, the same file has the dependency line, but changed with 5 more dependencies
kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/tiny/panel-mipi-dbi.ko: kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_dma_helper.ko kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_mipi_dbi.ko kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_kms_helper.ko kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_panel_orientation_quirks.ko kernel/drivers/video/backlight/backlight.ko
And this is confirmed with modinfo drm_mipi_dbi: 1 dependency in armbian and 5 dependencies in raspbian... could this be the reason why the ko is loading too early?

I confirm that this repository ffmpeg works for me:
* Orange Pi Zero 3
* self built image with Debian Trixie and Xfce desktop
* Linux Edge 6.15.0
* Login in Xfce X11 mode
* follow all the instructions in original post
* mpv plays most mp4s VERY SMOOTHLY
* some resolutions will crash mpv with "Segmentation Fault" and cause a kernel crash shortly after
Then, to make it work with an ili9488 LCD, I needed to change these:
* install LCD DTS, firmware, remove plymouth (see my ili9488 thread)
* I can't make X11 work with my LCD driver and panel-mipi-dbi-spi recently... (still investigating why it worked before)
* but I can make it work with labwc and sway
* install seatd (authorization library), labwc (I only have experience with labwc) and foot (wayland terminal)
* Choose labwc instead of xfce in lightdm login
* from SSH session: DISPLAY=:0 foot&
* in foot: mpv videofile.mpv
* it plays most mp4s VERY SMOOTHLY
* some resolutions will crash mpv with "Segmentation Fault" and cause a kernel crash shortly after

Things you should try:
Capture the dmesg since before the sound file is playing
Try again with the sound file in the main EXT4 partition

Ok I was able to get the LCD working with a self built image, by copying the linux config from the armbian.com image to the build/userpatches/linux-sunxi64-edge.config
Currently rebuilding without the successful linux config, and then I will look at the difference
Update: I didn't find any differences and the new image without the userpatches config accepts the LCD DTS and bin file. Ok, I dont understand what was happening before.
Now I am getting the same X11 error as before:
MESA-LOADER: failed to open panel-mipi-dbi: /usr/lib/dri/panel-mipi-dbi_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (search paths /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/dri:\$${ORIGIN}/dri:/usr/lib/dri, suffix _dri)
I see that this panel-mipi-dbi_dri.so is part of libgl1-mesa-dri debian package, in DEBIAN SID, but not Bookworm
https://packages.debian.org/sid/arm64/libgl1-mesa-dri/filelist
https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/arm64/libgl1-mesa-dri/filelist
Next, when I rebuilt the armbian OS with xfce desktop, I get the same panel-mipi-dbi-spi error: can't find the bin file. I checked the config again... and it was the same
Update: It was easier to build Sid minimal, and install labwc (wayland), just remember to install seatd: https://eirenicon.org/labwc-a-tutorial/
I isolated why the panel-mipi-dbi-spi can't load when I apply it in an Armbian OS with XFCE.
xcfe requires plymouth, and plymouth does something to the uInitRd

Update: I realized that even before plymouth, the uinitrd does not contain the LCD firmware file... but it is doing something that prevents panel-mipi-dbi-spi from loading the file.
Update: the initrd.img lacks the LCD bin file ... I will work on including this file later.
An interesting observation from my X11-running armbian OS: it does not contain the file /usr/lib/dri/panel-mipi-dbi_dri.so (not even the dri folder)
This working Xorg is version 1.21.1.7. Same as in my failed attempt with Armbian bookworm. It was failing because it demanded panel-mipi-dbi_dri.so... I will re-test tomorrow.

I keep having trouble with panel-mipi-dbi-spi not finding /lib/firmware/panel-mipi-dbi-spi.bin even if it exists and it works in another Armbian and Raspberry.
This happens only with the armbian OS that I compiled with default linux configuration.
The armbian OS image that I downloaded from armbian.com can drive the LCD (but has other problems with X11).
When I boot my image while watching the serial output, I only see "Starting kernel", then a few lines regarding udev, then the login prompt (sorry, I will be more exact when I get back home).
I changed console=both to console=serial, in armbianEnv.txt but I still don't see more kernel or init messages while booting.
How can I activate this verbose boot?
Is there any chance that the /lib/firmware is not mounted and available to the kernel module in this early stage?
-
Can you confirm that you can still run X11 with Linux 6.12?
-
Please someone help
I can't start X11... I installed:
sudo apt install xserver-xorg-video-fbdev openbox x11-xserver-utils xinit xserver-xorg-input-evdev
Created this /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbdev.conf file

I also see that xorg wants to use 24 bit color, but my LCD is 18 bit color. <- update: this does not matter... my opiz3 with running X11 shows the same message

panel-mipi-dbi-spi reference:
https://github.com/notro/panel-mipi-dbi/wiki
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/panel-mipi-dbi-spi.yaml
Is anyone here experienced with panel-mipi-dbi-spi? I am having problems loading the bin file again. What's weird is that sometimes the same bin file works in one Armbian version and Raspberry, but not for the Armbian version I want.
Ok. Here, they say that if the LCD works in console, but not X, then it is not a kernel problem

I used the vanilla armbian image with kernel 6.12.30 (not using my custom build method of removing the arm64-dts-sun50i-h618-orangepi-zero2w-Add-missing-nodes.patch )
It works with all the 3.5" and 4.0" red LCDs I have (some 3.5" LCDs I have are ili9486).
-
They are in the same pin numbers, but different GPIO
Update:
I found that I can just use both CS0 and CS1 in opiz3 normally as expected in a DTS for a SPI ili948x LCD and touch screen, as seen in my ili9488 thread.
(PH9=CS0, PC10=CS1)
I was having so much trouble before, but now I finally got it

Connect to the orange pi's serial port with a usb-serial from your laptop. Make sure you connect the TX with the RX, and viceversa. The speed is 115200.
You will see booting messages, before the login prompt.
If nothing works, re-write the img to the microSD.

Thank you! I will try it tomorrow.
What is spi1_cs0_pin and spi1_cs1_pin equal to, in Orange Pi Zero 2W, and in Opiz3?
Is it defined in the spi-spidev dtso, or in the main opiz3/opiz2w dts? I need to have it correctly in the main DTS, because the LCD driver doesn't use spidev (and it would conflict).
cs0 matches the pin position in raspberry pi: pin 24.... so it would make sense if cs1 is pin 26.
Reference. This is the patch that changes the opiz3/2w DTS https://forum.armbian.com/topic/50418-dont-use-kernel-61216-on-sunxi64/page/2/#findComment-216934

Hello all
Is anybody having success with spidev with orange pi zero 3 and Linux 6.12?
I want to test my LCD panel's touch, but I need spidev working first

You can build an armbian image with these instructions:https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/
You can configure it: https://docs.armbian.com/
When you have a setup you like, use this to backup as an image: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/29427-shrink-backup-a-tool-for-backing-up-sbcs/
I still suggest only armbian... but please share if you can use buildroot for opiz2w

Thank you!

Last year, I tried to set up "Access Point" mode in orange pi zero 3 and never got it working.
