    h3consumption -e on problem with armbian <5.20

    That's normal on Orange Pis, the Ethernet LEDs are for whatever reasons a 'power on led' in early boot stage. Disabling the internal Ethernet should work with h3consumption since this is just a tweak to modify fex settings so the best thing to do is 

    
bin2fex /boot/script.bin | grep gmac

    to check actual state (simply read through script sources to understand the possible values). Anyway I second @rodolfo's suggestion to backup SD card and do an upgrade ('backups'/clones should be done using ddrescue)

     

    Thanks. The problems of armbian 5.20 with minidlna are solved?

    h3consumption -e on problem with armbian <5.20

    in Allwinner sunxi

    Posted

    I use armbian 5.16 or 5.17 on my OPI-PC (I do not remember which of the two, I read Firmware: #14 from OPI-monitor).

     

    I installed h3consumption tool a few days ago with these instructions: 

    sudo -s
wget -q -O /usr/local/bin/h3consumption "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/igorpecovnik/lib/master/scripts/h3consumption"
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/h3consumption

    then I used "h3consumption - g off" and after a reboot "h3consumption - e off" (because I use a USB3toGigabit ethernet adapter). Now I have:
      

    $ sudo h3consumption -p
Active settings:
cpu       1296 mhz allowed, 1200 mhz possible, 4 cores active
dram      624 mhz
hdmi/gpu  off
usb ports active
eth0      detected:/, Link: 


    I had renamed the network interfaces with eth0 for my USBadapter and eth2 (ex eth0) for the integrated lan. In fact eth2 does not appear now with ifconfig command. However, I noticed that the integrated ethernet port LEDs are lit up with the cable that is disconnected :blink:. Then I tried: 

    $ sudo h3consumption -e on
/usr/local/bin/h3consumption: line 220: /etc/armbian-release: No such file or directory
Armbian installation too old, please apt-get upgrade before. Exiting.

    How can I fix the problem? 

    I had not updated armbian to version 5.20 because I had read about problems with minidlna which is important for me. 

    If necessary, is this the correct procedure for updating? 

    apt-get update
    apt-get upgrade
    apt-get install -f
    apt-get upgrade
    apt-get autoremove -y

    Kodi on Allwinner H3 based boards

    Heh, it seems that zhaolei merged WereCatf improvements 9 hours ago, so I guess zhaolei's version is now better.

     

    Are you ok with current state, e.g. copied libraries and executables, or do you want to have everything packed as a plugin?

     

    I'm ok now thanks, but it would be even better to have plugins in the unofficial repository (for wiringOP sure, then about 433mhz transmitters the above projects "rcswitch-pi" and "rfoutlet" only depend from that two library of WiringOP).

     

    Finally I wanted to thank you for your wonderful work with OpenELEC.

    I'm not sure if hijacking Armbian forum is ok for my OpenELEC fork, but due to reachability issues I will answer anyway. You can open an issue on github with question label.

     

     

    Not sure on mpv but certainly doesn't support CEC.

     

     

     

    One thing which helps with lowering temperature is disabling RSS feeds. It will lower it for at least few degrees. I guess OE is hotter due to more intensive GPU usage. I think usual temperature settings are basically the same.

     

    Yes, pvr.iptvsimple is a folder inside build system. Please take a look at content inside this folder to get an idea what is needed to create custom plugin. AFAIK a big issue here in my opinion is that all plugins must be compiled statically or at least without external dependencies (other than already included in base image). RCSwitch has dependency on wiringPi. I already compiled it as a plugin (gpio program) and you can test it here (link will be valid for 14 days): https://transfer.sh/ILHOt/tools.wiringop-7.0.1.zipI will take a look if there is some way to compile plugins with external dependencies or else I may include wiringPi in base image.

     

    Does anyone know which wiringPi port for H3 is best? I used this: https://github.com/WereCatf/WiringOP/commits/h3

     

    Many thanks for your reply, jernej.

     

    Regarding the temperature, I see that after a few minutes in the home the temperature is about 70 degrees centigrade (on Armbian in idle is about 50 degrees). I disabled the RSS feeds but for now I have not tested well if the situation improves.

     

    About wiringOP, on armbian (OPI-PC) I had used https://github.com/zhaolei/WiringOP and It worked well in the few tests done. Nevertheless, with  https://transfer.sh/ILHOt/tools.wiringop-7.0.1.zip in your openelec fork I get the following output of the command "gpio readall":

    Note the written "Orange Pi" instead of "OrangePIPC" and also the gpio numbering is different from that on armbian with https://github.com/zhaolei/WiringOP. Indeed I copied the folder compiled on armbian inside /storage in OpenELEC and I get:

    where I added "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/storage/WiringOP" because I have copied there "WiringOP/wiringPi/libwiringPi.so.2.0" renamed in "WiringOP/libwiringPi.so" and "WiringOP/devLib/libwiringPiDev.so.2.0" renamed in "WiringOP/libwiringPiDev.so". Otherwise I get the error "libwiringPi.so" and "libwiringPiDev.so" not found.
     
    In the moment I could not directly test the gpio command installed via openelec addons with, for example, a LED or a relay, but I tested the above libraries ("libwiringPi.so" and "libwiringPiDev.so") copied in ~/WiringOP from armbian that work perfect.
    In fact, I copied the folder "rcswitch-pi" compiled on armbian ("https://github.com/r10r/rcswitch-pi") inside /storage of openelec like before, and then the following command works perfectly:
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/storage/WiringOP /storage/rcswitch-pi/send XXXXX X 1
     etc. (My electrical outlet turns on)
     
    The same thing works with the "codesend" command from "https://github.com/timleland/rfoutlet.git" compiled again on Armbian 5.20.

    Kodi on Allwinner H3 based boards

    1- Hi, I realized that Kodi on Armbian does not use the internal player but mpv and does not support Hdmi-CEC. It's right?

     

    2- I use armbian successfully on one of my two Opi-pc from March 2016. Now, I tried Jernej Openelec port on my other orange pi and works fine with CEC although a little hot. However I would use at least this program (which works perfect on Armbian): "https://github.com/r10r/rcswitch-pi.git"on Openelec, but I do not know how to compile it as an addon for installing on Openelec. Orangepi-forum is almost always out of reach, and I can not write there a question. From https://github.com/jernejsk/OpenELEC-OPi2 I compiled the OpenELEC image but what steps should I follow for the addons? I do not understand this example:

    "You can build wanted addon with:

     

    PROJECT=H3 ARCH=arm scripts/create_addon pvr.iptvsimple

     

    where pvr.iptvsimple is the addon you want to build." pvr.iptvsimple is the folder source?
