[CSC Armbian for RK322x TV box boards]

Quote

Probably there is a GPIO that enables the toslink. Your board is new because I have never seen an rk322x with toslink. You should post photos of the board and the original device tree to get toslink supported.

 

After some online research into my device, without opening the case, it appears that the SPDIF connection is coaxial. Wasn't aware that such a connection exists in 3.5mm form. As a longtime Macbook and former Airport Express user, I had become well-familiarized with the 3.5mm optical connection.

 

Many thanks for your response! Will order a cable accordingly as I am really happy with how well this device runs. Outstanding work.

Having spdif toslink would be so so sweet with my dac. Aplay indicates that the device is card 1, but when assigning plughw:1,0, hw:SPDIF, or hw:1,0 there is no sound and no light seems to be being immited. Have tried with a 4.4 and 6.1 build. The device is an MXQ 4K Pro with led settings 6 enabled.

 

Does anyone know how to get the toslink spdif port running? Thanks so much

[MXQ RK322X as audiophile music box]

Thanks for the write-up! I have my MXQ running as a server without a GUI desktop environment. I, too, would like to use it to play audio. However, when I enter alsamixer I am greeted by the message "This sound device does not have any controls".

 

I have been looking around and all I could find is that it seems to have to do something with the controls missing. I tried setting-up a softvol without success and ended up giving up after some time.

 

Do you know how to enable ALSA mixer?

[Orangepi Zero SPI buffer]

Also facing SPI issues.  Trying to flash my laptop using a soic clip connected to spidev1.0 as well as Mizy on spidev0.0. Unlike some others in the forum I was able to activate both successfully. After using flashrom, however, my flashed laptop or orange pi zero won't boot from the SPI chip yet.

My report from flashrom:

$ sudo flashrom -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev1.0,spispeed=512 -w /home/hardheid/Lenovo_T460_backup.bin

flashrom on Linux 5.10.12-sunxi (armv7l)

flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org                                                                                                  

Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns).

Found Winbond flash chip "W25Q128.V" (16384 kB, SPI) on linux_spi.

Reading old flash chip contents... done.

Erasing and writing flash chip... Erase/write done.

Verifying flash... VERIFIED.

 

Same with the Mizy images, write but not working in the end. Could this be the result of a bad buffer? Am I doing something wrong? 

[Cant connect without ethernet]

These solutions haven´t been working for me and I am getting increasingly more frustrated. Running an Orange Pi Zero with a MT7601U USB wireless adapter with device code 148f:760b and a Kingston 32GB sd card.

 

In my attempts I have tried the following:

- All four available distros available of Armbian; Xenial, Jessie, Bionic, and Stretch. With the older distros the MT7601U driver needs to be installed manually which creates all sorts of issues of its own. Wifi works out of the box with the latest distros, but also no internet.

- All sorts of variations of /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/network/interfaces, setting nmtui manually, /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf, proxy, and setting daily kernel updates were unsuccessful. 

 

Using the device now for Shairport-sync which works without the internet, but it seems a bit of a waste. Beating myself up for spending so much tome on a cheap device and network card although I really want to get it to work the way I intended to. I really do think that the issue is the network card as internet works using the xr819. Am I missing something? 

[Configuring Orange PI PC to receive IR/InfraRed]

Thanks for the write up AnonymousPi! 

 

I am running an OrangePi PC as well with Armbian on top of an Ubuntu Kernel. The default LIRC config, however, is different. I tried making changes, but whatever I do sunxi_cir just does not show with lsmod. Is anyone else having issues?
