Do you think I have to ask armbian kernel builders to include your code into kernel image?

I'm one of the main Armbian devs, so, yes, I will add the DT overlay in builds in the near future ...

I used the same wires on Rpi2 and on the opi 1+. I attached a picture

I can't see clearly what are the pins on this relay board, neither if it is using a MOSFET or not, which is important since GPIO are 3V only ...

read how to "use this overlay source and compile it and load it"?

Install DT compiler from http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/device-tree-compiler/device-tree-compiler_1.4.7-3_arm64.deb

Then, compile the DTS I've provided and then load it dynamically :

dtc -@ -I dts -O dtb -o odroid-n2-ic2@1c000.dtbo odroid-n2-ic2@1c000.dts
mkdir /sys/kernel/config/device-tree/overlays/i2c3a
cat odroid-n2-ic2@1c000.dtbo > /sys/kernel/config/device-tree/overlays/i2c3a/dtbo

Everything seems to work but the relay doesn't open/close the contact.

How did you wired the relay ?

Do you use a MOSFET to drive it ?

I also have no i2c bus, in /dev/ there is only i2c-0.

Odroid-N2 external RTC is attached on I2C3 which isn't enabled by default.

To enable it, use this overlay source and compile it and load it.

/dts-v1/;
/plugin/;

/ {
    compatible = "amlogic,meson-g12b";
    fragment@0 {
        target-path = "/aliases";
        __overlay__ {
            i2c3a = "/soc/bus@ffd00000/i2c@1c000";
        };
    };
    fragment@1 {
        target-path = "/soc/bus@ffd00000/i2c@1c000";
        __overlay__ {
            status = "okay";
            pinctrl-0 = <&i2c3_sda_a_pins>, <&i2c3_sck_a_pins>;
            pinctrl-names = "default";
            pcf8563: rtc@51 { /*I2C-bus slave address: read A3h and write A2h*/
		compatible = "nxp,pcf8563";
		reg = <0x51>;
            };
        };
    };
};

Then, the i2c will appear as well as module for PCF8563 will be loaded, it will be hookup as /dev/rtc1, you can then set the clock and re-read it using :

hwclock -w -f /dev/rtc1
hwclock -f /dev/rtc1

If there is one better suited library for the Zero, I will gladly use it.

There is also this one, although not a fork of the previous : https://github.com/Jeremie-C/OrangePi.GPIO

I see...

Why don't you use well known lib like :

https://github.com/duxingkei33/orangepi_PC_gpio_pyH3

I think there is also a fork of it for specific OPiZero, which will avoid tweaking the mapping.h for the pins.

Any idea about kernel source for NeoPlus2 ?

If you look at Armbian build scripts, since NanoPiNeoPlus2 is an Allwinner H5 SoC, it is usual megous's github here :

Current : https://github.com/megous/linux/tree/orange-pi-5.4

Dev : https://github.com/megous/linux/tree/orange-pi-5.6

should I try to write my own overlay? Is that even doable?

I think writing your own overlay would be the most easy approach ...

Which board are you using ?

Lets say that the easiest way to clone a running SDCard is to blindly the first sectors where u-boot reside using "dd" :

dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/dev/sda bs=1024 count=2048

Then, after that blind copy, you can use "gparted" like you did previously.

You can use it with 12VDC and add a DC-DC converter at the end to produce the required 5VDC.

Redoing my work on a clean branch, I've just figured out that we have two RTL8723CS drivers in the tree ...

One is added using Armbian patch pushing code into driver/net/wireless/realtek and there is already another one in cache/sources/linux-mainline/orange-pi-5.5/drivers/staging/rtl8723cs-new that have been added since 5.5.y back in January.

@Igor, I think we should use the later since Smaeul and Ondrej have even done some "suspend" fix recently ...
