Indeed after a fresh checkout things got better and now I can build ok the supported items in build system.
The problem is that jessie build bails out with error, though as @Igor said, the 3.4.113 can still be compiled with xenial and the 19.08 branch (for as long as it does..)
 
A minor but time consuming task is that whenever we have to make a new fresh checkout, it takes so many hours to re-download all the cached components specifically the toolchains and thats a real bummer.
 
Thanks for your hints.
 

Hi,
 
Have some H3 boards with the current Armbian level 5.24.
 
Need though Qt5..
 
Is there any info on how to do this? How to install Qt5 in Armbian?
 
(Might be too easy but for some reason I cannot find relevant info)

Armbian logo should be displayed in uboot by default. At lest on most recent assembly. Image is read from /boot by another patch.

You can.
 
They have been recently reduced down to https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/packages/bsp/common/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02-armbian-periodic#L4-L10 so you might just wait for update.

You need to be an expert to see this  Add EXPERT="yes" to the configuration.

I added it to config-default.conf ... and it works for me. Try that.

On 1st Dec. the latest 4.14 rt patch has been released
-> https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.14/
So it might be possible to test now with new 5.36 and 'mainline' option.

Because AFAIK snd-soc-dummy doesn't have DT bindings and can't be instantiated from DT, at least without patching (something like this - http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2014-August/080287.html, or like this - https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/7679391/). 
This
doesn't match any of_device_id tables so your simple-audio-card codec is connected to nothing.

Get the source & create a simple Makefile:
mkdir adau7002 cd adau7002 wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/trsqr/media_tree/bd676c0c04ec94bd830b9192e2c33f2c4532278d/sound/soc/codecs/adau7002.c nano Makefile Makefile contents:
obj-m := adau7002.o all: make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules clean: make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean install: sudo cp adau7002.ko /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r) sudo depmod -a Those indentations are a single tab character - use spaces & it won't work.
Build:
make all install Next, we create a new device tree overlay. Create a file i2s-soundcard-overlay.dts with this content:
 
/dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { compatible = "allwinner,sun8i-h3"; fragment@0 { target-path = "/"; __overlay__ { adau7002_codec: adau7002_codec { #sound-dai-cells = <0>; compatible = "adi,adau7002"; status = "okay"; }; }; }; fragment@1 { target = <&i2s0>; __overlay__ { status = "okay"; pinctrl-0 = <&i2s0_pins>; sound-dai = <&adau7002_codec>; pinctrl-names = "default"; }; }; fragment@2 { target-path = "/"; __overlay__ { sound_i2s { compatible = "simple-audio-card"; simple-audio-card,format = "i2s"; simple-audio-card,name = "adau7002"; simple-audio-card,bitclock-slave = <&dailink0_slave>; simple-audio-card,frame-slave = <&dailink0_slave>; simple-audio-card,widgets = "Microphone", "Microphone Jack"; simple-audio-card,routing = "PDM_DAT", "Microphone Jack"; status = "okay"; simple-audio-card,cpu { sound-dai = <&i2s0>; }; dailink0_slave: simple-audio-card,codec { sound-dai = <&adau7002_codec>; }; }; }; }; }; Compile & install the overlay:

Hi,
 
OPiPC with latest mainline (ARMBIAN 5.34 user-built Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 4.13.12-sunxi).
Need to test the I2S0. From what I see in patches, the I2S driver code is already there so I just need an overlay to use it.
 
Is there any DT overlay for using the H3 I2S0 with any codec ?
Even as a generic simple-audio-codec ?
 
Christos
 

Replying to my own topic,
it was just the old man not wearing his glasses.. forgot to specify the proper pulseaudio buffer in pa_simple_new and the system got the maximum latency default values.
 
 

IMHO FA might go for the S912 now..
They already got M3 (with Samsung CPU) in the past as a 8xCore (and from my experience on it its really fast) but it lacked support, now with Amlogic the foundations are already there to deliver the first decent and trully mainline supported hacker-friendly 8xCore 64-bit A53 SBC.
 

Ok, it boots now.
 
 

Thanks @Igor ,
 
Performed a new git clone and now its ok again with all the added gizmos I put on.
 
Lesson learned, will not ask again that question unless I have done a new git clone and flushed any cache.

You need to improve your Google-Fu:

@nz1
Never intended to insult, it is just a metaphor to get the idea of how easy it is to be distracted from the very few that make a lot of noise and forget the many thousands that are happy and quiet..

Ok,
 
Thanks @sanctus , the kernel option specify [1..5] in RT is quite crucial as it seems.
In earlier builds, until 27/Oct, Armbian got build ok (but eventually probably was giving issues as later on found out) with option 5 in kernel RT configure.
Now, in latest releases (5.24) it reports error even in build phase.
 
Tried the RT option 4, so far with OPi ONE & PCPlus, in both, armbian is building now ok and the timeout errors I got previously now they have gone.
At least found out that the RT option plays a significant role in both the armbian build itself and in the filesystem behavior later on. 
 
@Igor ,  from the latest tests, I see stable performance with the current RT patches up to option 4 for OPi ONE & PCPlus.

@jernej , @Igor
 
I really thank you guys, responded in no time and most of all made me feel that I'm not alone, kudos to both of you.

Changed it with a new one just now and everything is fine.
Even the tty/uart log is different and now it does not mention any dvi, only hdmi.
 
Thank you again for your efforts and please excuse me for the noise, I should have thought of it earlier.
At least now, we learned something, not to trust even the out of the bag cables..
 
thanks

If you rotate 90degrees the heatsink and bolt it again, you will see that it has proper opennings for pin soldering..

Yep,
Seen the commit in github a couple of minutes ago, tried it and its succeeding now, its fine.
 
Thanks!

Hi Christos,   Please follow the below steps to compile and deploy the kernel module for 8192EU:   git clone https://github.com/shahidali55/rtl8192eu_3 cd rtl8192eu_3 make ARCH=arm sudo make install If all the above steps complete without errors, reboot the board. ifconfig should now show wlan0
