Now i2c3 in armbian patches https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/patch/kernel/meson64-current/hardkernel-0007-N2-ARM64-dts-add-i2c2-i2c3-node.patch

TL;DR Where in armbian build system correctly can be make N2-only related changes: 1. /boot ext4 volume have to have symlink . as boot, can be created with command ln -s ./ boot 2. kernel env variable set in boot.ini contain part but it shouldn't. This substring need to be removed if btrfs choosen. 3. /boot ext4 partition have only 4 MB free. I am not sure but think it's too small; for example there no space to run update-initramfs -u. I think it should be larger, like 500 MB. Long: I want to run my oDroid-N2 with root on BTRFS filesystem. I use manual on armbian image build and did time ./compile.sh BOARD=odroidn2 BRANCH=current RELEASE=focal BUILD_MINIMAL=no BUILD_DESKTOP=no KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes ROOTFS_TYPE=btrfs INSTALL_HEADERS=no BUILD_KSRC=no then image Armbian_20.08.0-trunk_Odroidn2_focal_current_5.7.16.img was written to microSD card with BalenaEtcher program, inserted into N2 with serial console connected. cap1.log Then I create simlink ./ boot on boot volume, and get cap2.log Then I remove rootflags=data=writeback from bootargs and successfully boot into shell prompt, cap3.log changes: diff -u boot.ini.org boot.ini.run --- boot.ini.org 2020-08-20 23:08:36.000000000 +0300 +++ boot.ini.run 2020-08-20 23:26:29.000000000 +0300 @@ -20,7 +20,7 @@ fi # Default Console Device Setting -setenv condev "console=${uartconsole} console=tty1 loglevel=1" # on both +setenv condev "console=${uartconsole} console=tty1 loglevel=5" # on both # Auto Detection of Monitor settings based on your Screen information setenv display_autodetect "true" @@ -115,7 +115,7 @@ if ext4load mmc ${devno}:1 0x44000000 /boot/armbianEnv.txt || fatload mmc ${devno}:1 0x44000000 armbianEnv.txt || ext4load mmc ${devno}:1 0x44000000 armbianEnv.txt; then env import -t 0x44000000 ${filesize}; fi # Boot Args -setenv bootargs "root=${rootdev} rootwait rootflags=data=writeback rw rootfstype=${rootfstype} ${condev} ${amlogic} no_console_suspend fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0 elevator=noop hdmimode=${hdmimode} cvbsmode=576cvbs max_freq_a53=${max_freq_a53} max_freq_a73=${max_freq_a73} maxcpus=${maxcpus} voutmode=${voutmode} ${cmode} disablehpd=${disablehpd} ${bootsplash} cvbscable=${cvbscable} overscan=${overscan} consoleblank=0" +setenv bootargs "root=${rootdev} rootwait rw rootfstype=${rootfstype} ${condev} ${amlogic} no_console_suspend fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0 elevator=noop hdmimode=${hdmimode} cvbsmode=576cvbs max_freq_a53=${max_freq_a53} max_freq_a73=${max_freq_a73} maxcpus=${maxcpus} voutmode=${voutmode} ${cmode} disablehpd=${disablehpd} ${bootsplash} cvbscable=${cvbscable} overscan=${overscan} consoleblank=0" # Set load addresses setenv dtb_loadaddr "0x1000000" cap1.log cap2.log cap3.log

@martinayotte pleeease. so long present, but not in armbian trunk. @chewitt have same patches too, but not push.

Or via matrix bridge: #freenode_#armbian:matrix.org

yes, I did it already... but I not understand how to avoid manual path creation and dt copying with manual hwclock run. To let it work as it should — set system clock at a boot time.

What kernel I have to install to got it work? linux-image-current, -dev, -legacy, other sources?

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

Thank you for help. Could you please point to faq, howto or something like it to read how to "use this overlay source and compile it and load it"? Sorry, I am not "in context" for a while. But I will :)

I boot my Odroid-N2 with "Armbian Buster mainline kernel 5.4.y" from armbian download site. Now there is Linux droid 5.4.28-meson64 #20.02.8 SMP PREEMPT Mon Mar 30 09:12:52 CEST 2020 aarch64 GNU/Linux kernel I see no /dev/watchdog device. What's wrong? Should I tune something? armbianmonitor -u report: http://ix.io/2g2A

Being asked to run armbianmonitor -u on my ODroid-N2 I got syntax errors: armbianmonitor -u System diagnosis information will now be uploaded to /usr/bin/armbianmonitor: line 388: read: read error: 0: Invalid argument /usr/bin/armbianmonitor: line 389: [: -ge: unary operator expected /usr/bin/armbianmonitor: line 388: read: read error: 0: Invalid argument /usr/bin/armbianmonitor: line 389: [: -ge: unary operator expected ..... http://ix.io/2g2A Please post the URL in the forum where you've been asked for.

I use image linux-image-current-meson64=20.02.8 5.4.28-meson64, kernel set by apt upgrade RTC battery connected. Try to perform setup by instruction seems nwclock can't work: lsmod|grep rtc rtc_meson_vrtc 20480 1 ls -l /dev/rt* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Mar 30 18:28 /dev/rtc -> rtc0 crw------- 1 root root 252, 0 Mar 30 18:28 /dev/rtc0 hwclock hwclock: select() to /dev/rtc0 to wait for clock tick timed out root@droid:~# hwclock -w hwclock: ioctl(RTC_SET_TIME) to /dev/rtc0 to set the time failed: Invalid argument How to set hardware clock correctly? Previously I use earlier ubuntu-based armbian kernel 4.* on same device, and hardware clock woks. It brokes after swtching to a new image with new kernel.

How real that gigabit ethernet?
