In order to use the OV5640 you need the following: * Change script.bin (/boot/script.bin) to use OV5640 in this section. Use bin2fex and fex2bin tools to edit and change this section. Search forum to get the correct OV5640 configuration. * Edit /etc/modules and add the two lines: ov5640 vfe_v4l2 Boot the board and check if you have: ls /dev/video and if the camera was recognized: dmesg | grep OK CAM500B is on the way, as soon as i get this i post a basic Howto.

I have had similar problem when upgrading and solved this by removing the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-headers-sun8i.postinst and typing: sudo dpkg --configure -a you may need to repeat the commands: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade * update: this was Ubuntu 14.04

Do you mean GbE issues?

Yes. Important note: I lost a day to find out you must have HDMI plugged in (image is headless), i think it is related to the problem,

I have Armbian 5.23 (upgraded from 5.20) booting fine from SD card and 5.20 booting fine from eMMC. The only thing to note it that the upgrade process is not creating the uImage lnk and i have to do it manually. Since i do have to tweak my own script.bin here i suspect you have a broken script.bin or a new revision board. I have rev 1.1 maybe you have newer.

Just occurred to me if you could create a new compatible initrd (64bit), write this new u-boot and kernel to SD card using dd command with the same Blobs from original 32bit kernel, could this work? Any thoughts?

Code excerpted from the original build script just to show you could try to DD the blobs to /dev/sdX ($IMG_NAME), just don't know what would be the Params. I think we need someone to step in here and give some guidance. Maybe @ejolson or @igor or some experienced odroid XU4 user here. Sorry.

Give one last shot, try to write manually the blobs (SINGLE IMAGE and MULTIPLE IMAGE) and see if you get something: * Edited: PARAM_NAMES i am really not sure if would be raptor-sd-32.txt or the new environment,to make sure which one you would need to follow the scripts and check. It is all that comes to my mind. ** and also you will find two OFFSET for the Environment, maybe one if for the ARTIK710 and the other is for the other boards. export BOOTLOADER_SINGLEIMAGE=1 export LLOADER_BIN=$PREBUILT_DIR/$TARGET_BOARD/l-loader.bin export BL2_BIN=$PREBUILT_DIR/$TARGET_BOARD/bl2.bin export BL31_BIN=$PREBUILT_DIR/$TARGET_BOARD/bl31.bin export BL32_BIN=$PREBUILT_DIR/$TARGET_BOARD/tee.bin export NSIH_EMMC=$PREBUILT_DIR/$TARGET_BOARD/raptor-emmc-32.txt export NSIH_SD=$PREBUILT_DIR/$TARGET_BOARD/raptor-sd-32.txt export BL2_LOAD_ADDR=0x7fc00000 export BL2_JUMP_ADDR=0x7fe00000 export UBOOT_DEFCONFIG=artik710_raptor_config export BOOT_PART_TYPE=ext4 export BL1_OFFSET=1 export BL2_OFFSET=129 export ENV_OFFSET=6273 if [ "$BOOTLOADER_SINGLEIMAGE" == "1" ]; then cp $PREBUILT_DIR/$TARGET_BOARD/bl1-sdboot.bin $TARGET_DIR cp $PREBUILT_DIR/$TARGET_BOARD/bl1-emmcboot.bin $TARGET_DIR cp $PREBUILT_DIR/$TARGET_BOARD/partmap_emmc.txt $TARGET_DIR dd conv=notrunc if=$TARGET_DIR/bl1-sdboot.bin of=$IMG_NAME bs=512 seek=$BL1_OFFSET dd conv=notrunc if=$TARGET_DIR/singleimage-sdboot.bin of=$IMG_NAME bs=512 seek=$BL2_OFFSET dd conv=notrunc if=$TARGET_DIR/$PARAMS_NAME of=$IMG_NAME bs=512 seek=$ENV_OFFSET else cp $PREBUILT_DIR/$TARGET_BOARD/bl1.bin $TARGET_DIR/ if [ "$USE_BL2_BUILD" == "1" ]; then cp $TARGET_DIR/$UBOOT_SPL $TARGET_DIR/bl2.bin else cp $PREBUILT_DIR/$TARGET_BOARD/bl2.bin $TARGET_DIR/ fi cp $PREBUILT_DIR/$TARGET_BOARD/tzsw.bin $TARGET_DIR/ dd conv=notrunc if=$TARGET_DIR/bl1.bin of=$IMG_NAME bs=512 seek=$BL1_OFFSET dd conv=notrunc if=$TARGET_DIR/bl2.bin of=$IMG_NAME bs=512 seek=$BL2_OFFSET dd conv=notrunc if=$TARGET_DIR/u-boot.bin of=$IMG_NAME bs=512 seek=$UBOOT_OFFSET dd conv=notrunc if=$TARGET_DIR/tzsw.bin of=$IMG_NAME bs=512 seek=$TZSW_OFFSET dd conv=notrunc if=$TARGET_DIR/$PARAMS_NAME of=$IMG_NAME bs=512 seek=$ENV_OFFSET fi

Maybe changing env vars isn't enough, take a look deeply here: https://github.com/resin-os/build-artik/tree/master/prebuilt/artik710, you need specific blobs to boot from SD.

Looks like it is trying to load kernel from eMMC. If you want to get your hands dirty you could look into how to change the env settings to boot from SD. Sorry, don't much about Kodi.

Did you test the image ? Samsung ARTIK 710 firmware image 10/25/2016 670 MB

Hummm.... maybe this: https://github.com/resin-os/linux-artik7.git

I could not find it yet but found some interesting info: Next we will download the BSP source files from GitHub https://github.com/SamsungARTIKand extract them using: $ mkdir artik710 $ cd artik710 $ tar xf /opt/u-boot-artik7-0710GC0F-41F-01Q5.tar.gz $ tar xf /opt/linux-artik7-0710GC0F-41F-01Q5.tar.gz $ tar xf /opt/build-artik-0710GC0F-41F-01Q5.tar.gz $ tar xf /opt/boot-firmwares-artik710-0710GC0F-41F-01Q5.tar.gz . . . cd linux-artik7 $ make ARCH=arm64 artik710_raptor_defconfig $ make ARCH=arm64 menuconfig < - Edit your configurations - > $ make ARCH=arm64 savedefconfig $ mv defconfig arch/arm64/configs/artik710_raptor_defconfig So, there is arm64 linux somewhere.....

Fixed, the Gui Gtk3 starts correctly with any available win sizes for the sensor and you can change resolutions on the fly, seems now much more usable, please, recompile it and try: https://github.com/avafinger/guvcview to load the driver automagically, add the two lines in the /etc/modules

I have now the correct firmware for the ov8865 sensor. Here are the full resolutions samples. The shots were taken INDOOR, cloudy day with indirect natural light and artificial light as you can see reflected on LCD monitor. I have put also some shots (ov5640) from the improved ov5640 driver (A64) here. The shots (ov8865) were taken on A83T and There are slightly more light condition on the ov5640 day shot. Natural light makes far better quality, so it is not really fair to compare the day shots in this case (ov5640 vs ov8865). To be able to compare the day shots i would need a sunny day (no clouds) and a lux meter. For the night, they have exact same light condition, so you can compare ov5640 vs ov8865. The ov5640 sensor is AF and was not activated, and i am not sure if the OV8865 is AF (datasheet: "AF_VCC and AF_AGND is the power supply for auto focus related circuitry. although AF_VCC is 2.8 ~ 3.3V, it is recommended to use 3.3V to have better auto focus performance.", but it was not activated also, may be if AF was 'on' it could improve focus on ov8865. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7UjF6QzZxTlZNbE0/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7T2pKYlM3SENFWHM/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7RXo4UGJqRjM5c2c/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7bkJsaGp4UldROVk/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7VjlZVU02dkd1X2s/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7TzhDRndjRDBVNTQ/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7Y0gzWmdva3Bac00/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7V1FuQlNxeHhjOWc/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7MGJPR1lEUmEtamc/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7TW5LN0tFdkNvek0/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7N3hvZE9lbVZ0cHc/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7andkYnE5MEkybWs/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7NFh4bEFhcC1PNzA/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7bXBUZTh0RExCTU0/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7dWc3bXladEtvQWs/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7cHV5Q21CZUMtSjA/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7NE96Nk1mRXZDQ3c/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7RGdyQVJGUVdxQUU/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7TENlLTdhT192LVE/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7ZjhzOXc2cGxiMzg/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7Zkp1a1lkOU9ZclE/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7WUxvSXJrdjZ6S2s/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7UEN2MmNPVU9JaGs/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7eXV0cHZUdG5vVE0/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7MEZHQWVJWFEtZXc/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7R2ZBUzVQdFo5N1U/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7bEpxRUs1RFJPVzg/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7eWNXQzdrOFVza0E/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7SmJFbU1FRVBxY1U/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7ZFQwWElVYTllWXM/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7blRON0d5VFU1dG8/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7MWRlTW9lUnZaM28/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7OHFPRGlpV19oMms/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7VHI1VUhsRGZSVjg/view?usp=sharing You can see here that a bit more light can get a good shot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7A7OPBC-aN7d2NpeElHSEY4dUU/view?usp=sharing To conduct a good comparison test in day light condition i would need a lux meter and i don't have one.

If anyone interested I wired CR2032 on NanoPi M3 so i can have RTC backup and don't need to be connected to internet. The date and Time is saved in the rtc chip and restored with the correct time when you turn on. here is how to do: a) Use a cheap coincell battery holder like this: Wire like this: c) Careful not to invert the polarity, the silkscreen has a square rect on the (+) - red wire on the image above. refer to this: http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/File:NanoPi-M2-1602-if.png d) Atfter you update your current time / localization on your distro, you just type: sudo hwclock -w to save it. If you want to set the time/date in RTC chip manually: sudo hwclock --set --date "dd mmm yyyy HH:MM" or check the current date/time with: sudo hwclock

*Update: I commented out 30fps and enabled 90fps and the driver is now capable of 90~100 fps on 640x480. If we can fix the color/exposure this sensor looks very promising.

This is my first impression with the ov8865, a 8MP sensor running on kernel 3.4.39 (linux-sunxi). I am running Banana Pi - M3 with the dual camera extension on Ubuntu Xenial rootfs and with the stock driver. The driver have not been touched because information is scarce and i asked @lvmc for some datasheet. This sensor is a 4 lane CSI2 (MIPI) that has a good performance at high resolution. I am able to get 30 FPS on all available win sizes.

Please, refer to this post http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/1213-ov5640-camera-with-orange-pi/?p=12908 if you have some soldering skills and some hardware knowledge , unfortunately not my case so i cannot confirm it worked. 1.move R6 to R5 on cam500 pcb (so making VDDIO 3v, not 1.8V) I would skip the other steps and go with this: For the script.bin (fex) refer to http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/1213-ov5640-camera-with-orange-pi/?p=9610 and try first with the AF disabled: vip_dev0_afvdd = "" vip_dev0_afvdd_vol = @lvmc has fixed something in vfe for stability that must pass some test before consider it stable.

I can't say for sure it works, but i have built the matrix samples and the GPIO are initialized: ubuntu@apps:ll /sys/class/gpio/export --w------- 1 root root 4096 Feb 11 2016 /sys/class/gpio/export ubuntu@apps:~/matrix/install/usr/bin$ sudo ./matrix-led LED blinking times 0 LED blinking times 1 LED blinking times 2 LED blinking times 3 LED blinking times 4 LED blinking times 5 LED blinking times 6 LED blinking times 7 LED blinking times 8 LED blinking times 9

Do you have some sample code to test (or to follow)? I don't have any Matrix device to test but i have some i2c lcd i could try. I see no reason not to work on M3, same kernel, same GPIO mapping of a M2... The kernel side of Matrix is built normally, maybe some KERNEL CONFIG? -- edited -- Oops: i have the GPS, but it is UART. I will try to compile the Matrix samples and check if GPIO can be at least initialized.

While I was playing with NanoPi -M3 and following the tkaiser's advice to test Gbps I thought I could have some improvement by building the image with gcc 5.4 and I found that I could have the gcc 6.2 compilation tools in parallel without breaking anything . This is not new to kernel developers but it was to me because i keep using ubuntu 12.04 to compile for other platforms (have to use older gcc versions) and now using lubuntu 16.04. I compiled iperf3 with gcc 6.2 to see the results: ~/iperf3/src$ ./iperf3 -c 192.168.254.3 Connecting to host 192.168.254.3, port 5201 [ 4] local 192.168.254.87 port 58987 connected to 192.168.254.3 port 5201 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth Retr Cwnd [ 4] 0.00-1.00 sec 108 MBytes 901 Mbits/sec 0 819 KBytes [ 4] 1.00-2.00 sec 113 MBytes 949 Mbits/sec 0 1.72 MBytes [ 4] 2.00-3.00 sec 111 MBytes 937 Mbits/sec 0 1.72 MBytes [ 4] 3.00-4.00 sec 112 MBytes 940 Mbits/sec 0 1.72 MBytes [ 4] 4.00-5.00 sec 110 MBytes 927 Mbits/sec 0 1.72 MBytes [ 4] 5.00-6.00 sec 111 MBytes 929 Mbits/sec 0 1.72 MBytes [ 4] 6.00-7.00 sec 106 MBytes 895 Mbits/sec 0 1.72 MBytes [ 4] 7.00-8.01 sec 106 MBytes 887 Mbits/sec 0 1.72 MBytes [ 4] 8.01-9.00 sec 110 MBytes 924 Mbits/sec 0 1.72 MBytes [ 4] 9.00-10.01 sec 112 MBytes 942 Mbits/sec 0 1.72 MBytes - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth Retr [ 4] 0.00-10.01 sec 1.08 GBytes 923 Mbits/sec 0 sender [ 4] 0.00-10.01 sec 1.07 GBytes 921 Mbits/sec receiver iperf Done.

Install gcc-6 on Xenial 16:04 in (armhf) but this possibly will work in arm64 and x86: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo apt-get install gcc-6 g++-6 In my case, i want to use gcc-6 in all build using arm-linux-gnueabihf- and let gcc be linked to gcc-5: sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-cpp arm-linux-gnueabihf-cpp /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-cpp-6 100 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-6 100 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++-6 100 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcov arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcov /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcov-6 100 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-ar arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-ar /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-ar-6 100 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-nm arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-nm /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-nm-6 100 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcov-tool arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcov-tool /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcov-tool-6 100 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-ranlib arm-linux-gnueabihf-ranlib /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-ranlib-6 100 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-ranlib arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-ranlib /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-ranlib-6 100 This worked nicely and i could build the new image with arm-linux-gnueabihf- version 6.2 (test)

@mihai.aldea iddle temperature is 46C (Ambient temp 17C) = 400 Mhz ** This is obviously wrong information, the Temp. were taken within 5 min. from a power on, please, take the correct Temp. as 55º C running idle for 3 hours. @tkaiser Yes, the adhesive heatsink is that one. And yes, it happened exactly as you described, the build started with 8 cores 100% CPU and 1400 Mhz and in the final stage the 8 cores were running 100% CPU and 400 Mhz. I have noticed the things are much more cool when using LCD instead of HDMI. I will have a look in the kernel and maybe with some guidance i can understand how the throttling settings works and try to improve something. I will do it this weekend if i can, i am about to receive BPI stuff and cameras to play. I will post my findings and ask the basic questions here or PM you.

Just occurred to me a crazy theory, they provide a 4GB image that changes the layout of the sd card, there may be some sd cards prone to have problems with the layout, or it is just the PSU causing all sort of problems. Here is my ingenious heat-sink:
