  1. The CB1 is H616-based, but I'm not entirely sure what you're referring to apart from that. I would love to see your proposed edits before words are being put in my mouth 🙂 There was a typo in my patch that essentially caused the dependency to be ignored, I'm adding an updated version. From 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steinar H. Gunderson <steinar+kernel@gunderson.no> Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2024 15:35:38 +0000 Subject: Fix broken allwinner,sram dependency on CB1 On BigTreeTech CB1, the thermal sensor has an allwinner,sram property pointing to <&syscon>. However, Armbian has an out-of-tree kernel patch that creates dependencies based on allwinner,sram properties, which assumes that they point to sram nodes exactly two levels below the syscon node (instead of the syscon itself). This manifests itself as the thermal sensor refusing to load with a nonsensical error message: [ 23.775976] platform 5070400.thermal-sensor: deferred probe pending: platform: wait for supplier Note that it does not say _which_ supplier it is waiting for (the message ends in a space and then no supplier). The patch was unproblematic in the 5.6 megous patch set, where it was introduced, and in 6.6, which is current for Armbian, but in 6.8, the sun8i-thermal driver got mainlined, with this extra property compared to the out-of-tree version we used before (since it wants to clear a special bit at 0x300000 instead of relying on the firmware to do so before kernel boot). Fix by being a bit more flexible when we walk up the tree, so that we always stop at the syscon node. Tested on a Sovol SV08, which is CB1-based. Signed-off-by: Steinar H.

  2. Thanks for the pointers. Here is my patch (I tested it by dropping it into the right userpatches directory, compiling the kernel and then booting): From 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steinar H.

Note that I think the most sensible thing to do is still just to delete the patch in question, not to patch it further. But I don't understand 100% why it was added in the first place; maybe there is some reason that is still valid for some platform.
  3. I think that if you don't want to just delete the patch (I don't think it makes much sense anymore), then maybe something like this, but I have no idea how to build a kernel from a worktree (i.e., without making a .patch by hand and running through the patch procedure): sram_node = of_parse_phandle(np, prop_name, 0); if (!of_node_is_type(sram_node, "syscon")) sram_node = of_get_parent(sram_node); if (!of_node_is_type(sram_node, "syscon")) sram_node = of_get_parent(sram_node); I.e., don't go walk the tree looking for the syscon node if we're already at it.
  4. I removed the patch, and the resulting kernel booted and found its thermal zones. So I think the basic issue is that the patch just is doing of_get_parent() twice without checking that this makes sense. sesse@amalie:~$ uname -a Linux amalie 6.11.2-edge-sunxi64 #2 SMP Fri Oct 4 14:38:57 UTC 2024 aarch64 GNU/Linux sesse@amalie:~$ ls -l /sys/class/thermal/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Nov 3 20:28 cooling_device0 -> ../../devices/virtual/thermal/cooling_device0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Nov 3 20:25 thermal_zone0 -> ../../devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Nov 3 20:25 thermal_zone1 -> ../../devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Nov 3 20:25 thermal_zone2 -> ../../devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Nov 3 20:25 thermal_zone3 -> ../../devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone3
  5. I don't get it; isn't the problem the SRAM provider, not the configured trip limits? What am I supposed to look for here?
  6. Maybe simply patches.megous/of-property-fw_devlink-Support-allwinner-sram-links.patch needs to go? There's nothing like it in the upstream 6.11 kernel, and it seems broken for the case where the DT links to <&syscon> directly instead of to a child of a child of it.
  7. Could you be a bit more specific? Which part of the DTS is this? I'm looking through the difference in drivers, and seemingly the upstream driver has this snippet in the commit message: which explains why it has that “allwinner,sram” dependency (and why it silently refuses to load if I take it out). Specifically, the driver has a “.needs_sram” in the kernel. https://patches.linaro.org/project/linux-pm/patch/20240219153639.179814-6-andre.przywara@arm.com/ So why that handle isn't satisfied… I have no idea. (I'm definitely not well-versed in device trees.)
  8. Yes, I tried (albeit without Docker, just regular cross-compiling), and it failed with https://paste.armbian.com/niyisiciqa . It seems there's some confusion somewhere as of whether the image is supposed to be compressed or not (I think maybe Arm does decompression somehow in U-Boot?), so vmlinux versus vmlinuz. I tried looking briefly into it, but figured it was easier just to wait it out on the board. 🙂
  9. For fun, I hacked the DTB by removing this line (which is the only relevant thing that seems to be different between the 6.6 and 6.11 DTs): ths: thermal-sensor@5070400 { …more lines here… - allwinner,sram = <&syscon>; …more lines here… } After that, the driver loaded just fine (no kernel message, /sys/bus/platform/devices/5070400.thermal-sensor/waiting_for_supplier contains 0), but there are still no thermal zones in /sys/class/thermal. It seems that what really changed between 6.6 and 6.11 is that the h616 thermal drivers got upstreamed, so most of the Armbian patches have been obsoleted, but I guess in the process, something broke for the CB1.
  10. Following up from another thread: I compiled an edge kernel (6.11.2-edge-sunxi64) for my Sovol SV08, in part because I'd like ftrace support (for perf sched). It comes up, except there is no /class/thermal/thermal_zone0/ (which Klipper demands to work, perhaps sensibly enough). dmesg says: [ 23.775976] platform 5070400.thermal-sensor: deferred probe pending: platform: wait for supplier It's a bit strange, since my understanding is that the full error message should be “wait for supplier XYZ”, i.e., some specific supplier. This was built with ./compile.sh kernel BOARD=bigtreetech-cb1 BRANCH=edge KERNEL_GIT=shallow and then a hack to use only -j2 (or the device will run out of memory during build). I installed both linux-image-edge-sunxi64 and linux-dtb-edge-sunxi64. The version is 4.11.0-trunk_arm64__6.11.2-S7aa2-D29ea-P5d78-C6b40H5c21-HK01ba-Vc222-Ba3b7-R448a (that's a mouthful). I modified the kernel config, but only to enable ftrace; I didn't mess with thermal or any other driver. armbianmonitor -u: https://paste.armbian.com/gokinaxefa
  11. I installed the latest Armbian U-Boot, and lo and behold, the Ethernet came up! [ 14.058967] sunxi-gmac 5030000.ethernet end0: end0: Type(7) PHY ID 00441400 at 0 IRQ poll (5030000.ethernet-0:00) For posterity, this is what I did: sudo apt install linux-u-boot-bigtreetech-cb1-current sudo FORCE_UBOOT_UPDATE=yes bash -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-u-boot-bigtreetech-cb1-current.postinst So I'm going to mark this as resolved. Next up is the thermal zone in that edge kernel, but I should probably do that in a separate topic…
  12. Also: I don't use any updated U-Boot, just the one that came already installed with the BTT image. So I guess there's no special PHY init from there; I could probably get another eMMC card and flash the official Armbian image to check if that works? (That would take a week or two in the mail, though.)
  13. I'll be happy to help with remote access to the printer if needed. The Wi-Fi works fine, so it's available over IPv6, or I can bounce you in via some IPv4 port forward or similar. (Getting serial console access would be possible but pretty cumbersome; the header is not readily accessible on the mainboard, and the mainboard itself is not readily accessible without turning over the printer.) I don't think the printer uses an actual physical CB1 mounted on top of a larger board, FWIW, more like the CB1 chips (H616 and associated stuff) are designed in a part of the mainboard.
  14. Hi, I have a Sovol SV08 printer, which is based on BTT CB1 (to the point of basing its software on the CB1 image). I've upgraded it to bookworm, and then installed the latest current Armbian kernel (I eventually would want to go entirely upstream Linux, but I believe that this isn't feasible yet); linux-image-current-sunxi64 24.8.4 (6.6.44-current-sunxi64). Everything largely works and I can print etc.; however, the wired Ethernet refuses to come up. It just repeats this over and over again: [15101.594239] sunxi-gmac 5030000.ethernet end0: No PHY found! [15101.602516] sunxi-gmac 5030000.ethernet end0: phy init failed [15103.394666] sunxi-gmac 5030000.ethernet end0: No PHY found! [15103.400460] sunxi-gmac 5030000.ethernet end0: phy init again... I haven't been able to figure out what PHY is the right one, but I guess this is some sort of device-tree issue? For testing, I checked that this issue is still present on the lastest edge kernel (6.11.2-edge-sunxi64), which I built myself (which took forever, by the way, since cross-compiling from x86 seems to be broken…). It has exactly the same issue, and also that it cannot find the thermal sensor (“deferred probe pending: platform: wait for supplier”—with no actual supplier listed—and then no more). Does anyone know if there's a missing module somewhere? Or DT binding? This works with the BTT stock kernel (5.16.17-sun50iw9). armbianmonitor -u: https://paste.armbian.com/ruyucamuwu
