  1. Code excerpted from the original build script just to show you could try to DD the blobs to /dev/sdX ($IMG_NAME), just don't know what would be the Params.

    I think we need someone  to step in here and give some guidance. Maybe @ejolson or @igor or some  experienced odroid XU4 user here. Sorry.

    At least I managed to get a full image generated from the info and repositories mentioned in the thread (artik7 though.. "./release.sh -c config/artik710.cfg -m").

    I mean performed succesful compilation and generation of u-boot, kernel, rootfs and all of them combined in a image specifically for SD. The way is there in the driver developer's guide.

    But when booted did nothing, not even uboot prompt on M3's tty/uart port.

    Either way though that means the necessary components are there and just sit and waiting for some armbian-team guru ( @Igor , @tkaiser ) to come and see how this can be tailored for the M3 ..just sayin..

  2. But anyway: we got good news in the meantime. An 'SDK' and documentation might soon be available (currently uploading which takes some time thanks to the GFW) and then community can start the work.

     

    Is this something private/NDA or can it be dissiminated?

  3. Flash is actually connected to SPI, which should be way faster than I2C. Also amount of it is enough only for U-Boot. I guess many of developers (me included) will pursue this way.

    Yep, seen schematic too (lol rare for orange to give schematics fast, still wait for the OPiPC+..), mistakenly read somewhere that it is I2C though yes it is SPI, faster obviously but still I prefer eMMC when/if they will get it out.

  4. Update 2: Schematic uploaded to linux-sunxi wiki. Same SY8113B voltage regulator switching between 1.1V and 1.3V so I would assume all that's needed to support the board is adding xradio driver for Wi-Fi and fiddling around in fex file to support TV out.

     

     

    How on earth have you digged this up?

    Is there a OPi-Zero page in sunxi site??

     

    If you happen to have such good friends, can you please tell them to give the OPi-PC-Plus schematic too? :)

  5. Interesting, mine is also a 5.24 Jessie 3.4.113 built on 27 Oct and its ok..

    Dont know if the latest commits after 27 Oct. did something weird, so @zador.blood.stained might have the answer to this.

  6. Ok,

     

    My OPi made me be and feel really embarrassed..

     

    Dir a reboot and now the darn thing works.. since this morning it gives me hard time and lots of frustration and now it simply works..

    It looks the busy came after I did a "modprobe gpio-sunxi"

     

    @jernej thank you very much, you are right, that mainline way of gpio arithmetic is also used in legacy.

     

     

    Guys I feel very sorry for the noise and wasted bandwidth..

     

    The bottom line is that the sunxi gpio docs need update to reflect that the mainline arithmetic is also employed in the legacy too nowadays, at least at 3.4.113..

     

    Someone put a [solved] on the title

     

    Thanks to all

    Christos

  7. Yes, you are right. Sorry. This is the right place to check: https://github.com/igorpecovnik/linux/blob/sun8i/drivers/gpio/gpio-sunxi.c

    compared to old linux-sunxi kernel which uses [gpio_para] data: https://github.com/linux-sunxi/linux-sunxi/blob/sunxi-3.4/drivers/gpio/gpio-sunxi.c

     

    If you think this is right, then here it comes the legitimate question..

     

    what sysfs commands should I put to set high the physical pin 29 of the 40 pin connector in OrangePi ONE?

  8. I'm 100% sure that arithmetic is correct. Check https://github.com/igorpecovnik/linux/blob/sun8i/drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-sunxi.h#L23and https://github.com/igorpecovnik/linux/blob/sun8i/arch/arm/mach-sunxi/include/mach/pinctrl.h#L19

     

    You will get busy for sure if pins are claimed by some other driver, in this case uart, if fex has "uart_used = 1" for uart2.

     

     

    No, that is not the case.

     

    Not PA07, nor PA03 are reserved in anything else in FEX.

     

    And that is on the OPi ONE.

     

     

    For my NanoPi NEO though, (with Armbian 5.24, 3.4.113) everything works by using FriendlyArm's matrix example framework and the sysfs.. that is even without the FEX gpio parameters enabled!!

     

    Most likely the sysfs gpio is broken, please @jernej dont get me wrong but I firmly believe that someone should look into it in kernel 3.4.x unless of course nobody cares..

  9. This is definitely the scheme for the mainline kernel, but I don't think it applies to 3.4.x which still uses FEX for configuring pin numbers.

     

     

    Exactly

     

     

     

    @jernej

     

    Did the mainline arithmetic and got

    root@orangepione:/sys/class/gpio# ls -l
    total 0
    --w------- 1 root root 4096 Oct 30 14:38 export
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    0 Jan  1  1970 gpiochip0 -> ../../devices/platform/sunxi-pinctrl/gpio/gpiochip0

    -bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
    root@orangepione:/sys/class/gpio#
    
    

    which is not correct as the gpio pin 7 according to FEX is used by UART2 (PA3)

     

     

     

    Will continue the tests here but it looks to me that there is something broken in sysfs gpio..

  10. Ok,

     

    Thanks zador, but you didnt replied on why I see different gpio names.. is it just a newer thing and sunxi gpio docs did not catch up?

     

     

     

     

    There has to be something that I miss entirely since I cannot do a single led turn on with plain sysfs gpio.

    (by using WiringOP and their somehow different gpio numbering, the leds do work ok though..  but I want to have plain sysfs gpio access without WiringOP)

     

    So,

    Got my OPi ONE, Armbian 5.24, jessie kernel 3.4.113

     

    The script.fex compiled to .bin and rebooted with

    gpio_used = 1
    gpio_num = 19
    gpio_pin_1 = port:PA06<1><default><default><0>
    gpio_pin_2 = port:PA13<1><default><default><0>
    gpio_pin_3 = port:PA14<1><default><default><0>
    gpio_pin_4 = port:PA01<1><default><default><0>
    gpio_pin_5 = port:PD14<1><default><default><0>
    gpio_pin_6 = port:PA00<1><default><default><0>
    gpio_pin_7 = port:PA03<1><default><default><0>
    gpio_pin_8 = port:PC04<1><default><default><0>
    gpio_pin_9 = port:PC07<1><default><default><0>
    gpio_pin_10 = port:PA02<1><default><default><0>
    gpio_pin_11 = port:PA21<1><default><default><0>
    gpio_pin_12 = port:PA07<1><default><default><0>
    gpio_pin_13 = port:PA08<1><default><default><0>
    gpio_pin_14 = port:PG08<1><default><default><0>
    gpio_pin_15 = port:PA09<1><default><default><0>
    gpio_pin_16 = port:PA10<1><default><default><0>
    gpio_pin_17 = port:PG09<1><default><default><0>
    gpio_pin_18 = port:PG06<1><default><default><0>
    gpio_pin_19 = port:PG07<1><default><default><0>
    
    
    

    Also got the ONE's schematic from here

    -> http://linux-sunxi.org/File:ORANGE_PI-ONE-V1_1.pdf

     

     

    Now, lets say that I want to use the physical pin 29 of the 40pin connector. That is named PA07.

    In script.bin I see that PA07 is gpio_pin_12  so I guess I have to use and export pin 12.

    At this moment, I expected to have high on the pin, but.. nope!!

     

    When I do the WiringOP exercise for the same physical pin, it does work though..

     

     

     

    So, please guys... is there something that I miss here?

    Is there some pin numbering or conversion that I have to take into account?

     

     

    Christos

  11. WiringOP library uses C code as a backend, so you can take their implementation that uses /dev/mem for accessing registers directly: https://github.com/zhaolei/WiringOP/blob/h3/wiringPi/wiringPi.c

    or sysfs based access: https://github.com/zhaolei/WiringOP/blob/h3/gpio/gpio.c

     

    Can't help with the "simple" part, sorry

     

    Is WiringOP the ONLY module that gives proper GPIO functionality on sunxi?

     

    Can we have sysfs GPIO without WiringOP or not?

     

     

    I'm asking this because I'm a bit puzzled with sunxi gpio and armbian.

     

    As I see in sunxi gpio docs

    -> http://linux-sunxi.org/GPIO

     

    the names of pins in the sysfs supposedly are  "gpio1_pe0"  but I get instead  "gpio1"    (and so far its not working..)

    (Got the script.bin gpio enabled ok)

  12. I didn't realize that RT patching was a supported feature in Armbian.

    Is this turned on in the build tool or ??

    I tried searching for RT_PREEMPT and RealTime.

    Interested in turning on for H3 (Neo and M1) for machinekit testing on  board other than BBB.

     

    Would be great if we had a table of features and levels of support that folks could update as they test them on their boards, something like the mainline kernel one.

    Maybe this also exists and I can't find it.

     

    Great work again as I see we are on 4.9 in Dev.

  13. Ok Igor, thanks for answering here.

     

    Quite a bit though of info in just two lines.. and also eye-openning too

     

    Some clarifications/questions

     

     

    If you are using your own kernel build

     

    1. My own means even if I do a plain (no mods/no patches) build?

    2. I usualy enable your own provided real time patch, that means the build falls into the 'my own build' category and thus should avoid upgrades?

     

     

     

    Remove repository, use pin, ...

     

    3. how can I remove repository and what do you mean 'use pin' ?

     

     

     

    Next. 8192cu driver from kernel is broken. If you use self build driver, than you need to issue depmod -a / rebuild the driver on each kernel upgrade.

     

    As of today, with build Armbian 5.24 (jessie 3.4.112), I am able to work with 8192cu (with whatever driver/firmware is there in repository) out of the box.

    Just need an inclusion of "8192cu" in /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf

    After that and a restart, using nmtui got AP list and can connect succesfully.

    This has tested in OPiONE & NanoPiNEO.

  14. Build today a new 5.23 jessie 3.4.112 (with rt143) for H3 (NanoPiNEO)

     

    Configured all wifi ok (8192cu)

     

    Later on, saw the indicated upgrade on 3 packages

     

    linux-headers-sun8i

    linux-image-sun8i

    tzdata

     

    First I installed the tzdata and all were still working ok.

     

    The

    linux-headers-sun8i

    linux-image-sun8i

    when installed made wifi (8192cu driver) to vanish.

    After a hint for install the armbian-firmware-full, the dongle became visible in ifconfig as wlan0 but

    not being able to connect anymore on any AP although previously, before the upgrade, everything was connecting and working ok.

     

    Though it might be proper to report it also here in development section (reported it in H3 but got no replies), although I do not know if those upgrades come from here.

     

    Christos

     

  15. As I reported yesterday, after an upgrade, wifi was lost.

    Although wlan devices were visible via ifconfig, no connection to AP was possible.

    Today I tried to have fresh Armbian build , got a 5.23 jessie

    As you see got the RT also build in 3.4.112-rt143-sun8i

    WiFi 8192cu driver was up and running just fine,

     

    As there were updates indicated, did the apt-get update and upgrade..

     

    After that, AGAIN WiFi (8192cu) got lost and no connection was possible any more.

    Tried the armbian-firmware-full, but obviously the firmware there has some difference, the driver is no longer able to connect although shows up in ifconfig.

     

    ALSO, the kernel got a different name.. instead of "3.4.112-rt143-sun8i" now the RT was missing from title, dont know if that means anything deeper like RT mods gone for real, but I do report it.

    And thats the new banner

    So far the experience on upgrade shows that its untrusted at least..

     

    One question, guys, is there any chance that my 8192cu driver wifi dongles work again in Armbian as they were a couple of days before?

    or should I forget about that?..
