I go by tree from ytour post /sys/devices/platform/p6-fan/hwmon/hwmon6 ans see no hwmon in /sys/devices/platform/p6-fan(begin of lines removed): root@helios64:/sys/devices/platform/p6-fan# ls -l driver_override modalias of_node -> ../../../firmware/devicetree/base/p6-fan power subsystem -> ../../../bus/platform supplier:platform:ff420010.pwm -> ../../virtual/devlink/platform:ff420010.pwm--platform:p6-fan uevent waiting_for_supplier I build this kernel with armbian default kernel config. How can we have different trees in /sys on same hardware?

Fresh build edge bullseye image with kernel Linux helios 5.18.0-rockchip64 #trunk SMP PREEMPT Sun May 29 20:19:27 EEST 2022 aarch64 GNU/Linux fancontrol not work, because there no /dev/fan devices How to get fancontrol back to work?

How to use kdump on SBC, with armbian, and kernel, builded in armbian build system and installed as .deb packets?

can you provide hints on setting up kdump with armbian?

Still not work with fresh-build edge images. No simlink /dev/thermal-cpu, fancontrol start to work if manualy do ln -s /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/hwmon0 /dev/thermal-cpu TL;DR: in /etc/udev/rules.d/90-helios64-hwmon.rules an line 16 set ATTR{name}=="cpu|cpu_thermal".instead of ATTR{name}=="cpu" ... and I see two extra simlinks in root: hwmon0 -> /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/hwmon0 thermal_zone0 -> /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0 I look for /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/hwmon0 in udev: udevadm info -q all -a /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/hwmon0 Udevadm info starts with the device specified by the devpath and then walks up the chain of parent devices.

Victory, now /dev contains link thermal-cpu -> /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/hwmon0 fancontrol works @Heisath? upd: checked in https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/37662d8ed3cbcdb8c975e21bc2e709c365441d1e

I got similar error: on my x64 builder with Ubuntu Focal trying to build rootfs for `hirsute` or `impish` ``` [ o.k. ] Installing base system [ Stage 2/2 ] /bin/bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8) W: Failure trying to run: mount -t proc proc /proc W: See //debootstrap/debootstrap.log for details W: Failure trying to run: /sbin/ldconfig W: See //debootstrap/debootstrap.log for details [ error ] ERROR in function create_rootfs_cache [ debootstrap.sh:212 ] [ error ] Debootstrap base system for current rockpi-4a hirsute no second stage failed [ o.k. ] Process terminated ``` Main string is `W: Failure trying to run: /sbin/ldconfig` failure gone when I refresh qemu-user-static setup with text `docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static --reset -p yes`

I see that picture, but not see there airflow direction. Possible this mark should be more clear or bright. Is it so hard to just text something "air should go inside" or draw an arrow?

Thank you for tip. But I not see that on link you provide. Maybe be better to add that info it clear text into document you refer to.

I not see in Helios64 assembling guide, how should be set coolers. Where should be directed airflow? Inside or outside the case?

Fresh-builded armbian image, Helios4.

Server grade hardware are NOISY. Because of low-profile cases, low-size turbines, they have to send airflow very, very fast — to push enough air through small holes.

This will ruine airflow.

Currently I not see file rk3328_miniloader_v2.46.bin at https://github.com/rockchip-linux/rkbin/tree/master/bin/rk33 What is current replacement?

Thank you, @chewitt, works for me! but check, isn't it a mistype — "wtd@"? Maybe, there should be "wdt"? t↔d?

Currently no /dev/watchdog device on N2 with -current and -dev armbian kkernel. But watchdog present in -legacy. I see meson-wdt kernel module present on image, I transplant meson_wdt segment from dts file of legacy kernel to dev and current. diff --git a/arch/arm64/boot/dts/amlogic/meson-g12b-odroid-n2.dts b/arch/arm64/boot/dts/amlogic/meson-g12b-odroid-n2.dts index 819afc748828..18990208f269 100644 --- a/arch/arm64/boot/dts/amlogic/meson-g12b-odroid-n2.dts +++ b/arch/arm64/boot/dts/amlogic/meson-g12b-odroid-n2.dts @@ -226,6 +226,20 @@ hdmi_connector_in: endpoint { }; }; }; + + wdt: watchdog@0xffd0f0d0 { + compatible = "amlogic, meson-wdt"; + status = "okay"; + default_timeout=<10>; + reset_watchdog_method=<1>; /* 0:sysfs,1:kernel */ + reset_watchdog_time=<2>; + shutdown_timeout=<10>; + firmware_timeout=<6>; + suspend_timeout=<6>; + reg = <0x0 0xffd0f0d0 0x0 0x10>; + clock-names = "xtal"; + clocks = <&xtal>; + }; sound { compatible = "amlogic,axg-sound-card"; No success.

Now RTC patch for N2 in armbian build system. Hope problem is solved.

Currently no /dev/watchdog device on N2 with -current and -dev armbian kkernel. But watchdog present in -legacy. I see meson-wdt kernel module on image, I transplant meson_wdt segment from dts file of legacy kernel to dev and current. No success. No any sign watchdog presence.

And where you got that kernel? Where I can to look into patches? dts and config?

I did a patch to allow armbian build system produce image with root on xfs filesystem. Kernel should have build-in filesystem support, and `RELEASE` have to contain required filesystem utilities. Then all need to be done — add filesystem to build process. Patch for builder attached. Then image have to be build with separate /boot filesystem. command should look like ./compile.sh BOARD=rockpi-4a BRANCH=current RELEASE=focal BUILD_MINIMAL=no BUILD_DESKTOP=no KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes BOOTSIZE=250 ROOTFS_TYPE=xfs add_xfs_root.patch

Security theater. If it can be good enough for physical console/terminal-oriented distributives not mean it will be good for all forewer. Maximum can be acceptable — create user on first logon (can be skipped!) and propose to lock ssh root login after first successful user logon. All more "secured" scenarios will produce unusable inaccessible devices.

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.
