Hey guys, I just wanted to mention, that I have not forgotten this topic . I just have currently no time to drive this further because of real-life stuff going. Additionally I currently have no hardware in spare which i could perform the tests on. So either you guys wait for a non-specified time or try something on your own. So long... Cheers

Alright, continuing talking to myself I think I will try to make a build for the OrangePi 3b, because this way I assume to get a mainline compatible u-boot for the RK3566 as well as a recent kernel/file system . Then I will replace the device tree with that one from the M1S. Any concerns? Of course not... I will drop myself a note here if this was successful...

So here are the DTB and the DTS file from the current Home Assistant OS boot partition. I hope this brings us forward. What could be the next steps? rk3566-odroid-m1s.dtb rk3566-odroid-m1s.dts

Yes, so basically my approach is not that wrong to overcome the differences between M1 Armbian image and M1S by using the correct device tree. I dont know the shortcomings you talk about, but AFAIK the device tree used by Home Assistant is fine and works stable, see HERE. I also got told that I would have to rebuild the u-boot for the M1S (basically what you also said by referring to the firmware to flash). Is there anything I miss or that I just understand wrong? How to build the firmware for the M1S? Sorry for asking so many dumb questions. All this is just far beyond my knowledge and I have never built a firmware - only a kernel with a detailed description 😅. I try to understand what is missing and how we can pull things together without re-inventing the wheel. Cheers

Hey guys, looks like the devs are heavily busy with other stuff. As we can read they are currently massively struggling with a lack of ... basically everything. So let's try to support them by helping ourselves and share it with the community . I have not read anything anywhere about an approach to create an Armbian image for the M1S, so lets try to sum up, what we have and what is needed. I am really not an expert in all that - really NOT! But I like to contribute as far as I can! I've read somewhere that someone has tried to boot the M1 image on a M1S which kind of "worked" surprisingly, but failed in many ways like HDMI output and so on. This makes me think that the required modifications are mainly regarding entire hardware definitions - the device tree. There is already an official Home Assistant image for the M1S where the most changes are also regarding the device tree (see link above). So my idea for the next steps would be: take the M1 Armbian image as a starting point replace the Device tree be the one from Home Assistant and see if/how far it starts. Does this approach make sense and has it chance to work?! The problem I have: when I download the Home Assistant image and mount it locally I just can not find any DTB file. The same applies to the M1 Armbian image. Does anyone know where to find the DTB files right after downloading the images? Let's bring this forward guys. We have a sound software base to start from and the omnipotent Armbian build system. If we get people onboard who know better about the bootloader/device tree stuff than me, we should be able to do it . Cheers

Hi, okay, your workflow regarding creating an own OS image is definitely beyond my knowledge 😅. Maybe I will give it a try to create an image for the N2 via the Armbian build system. That looks quite straight forward. Maybe I just screwed up something on my system when I can not get clinfo to detect my GPU, so there is a chance that it works OOTB after fresh install...

@usual user Thank you very much for taking the time for the description! Honestly I must confess that I am not that deep in all this kernel build stuff that I would dare to build my own distro 🙈.

Do you have any idea about a workflow how to get OpenCL running properly? What driver (ARM, HK...), what to copy, what to compile, where to copy... Thank you!

@usual user Well, that doesn't look that bad, I would say. But I personally am stuck where clinfo tells me that the GPU has not been found and that the kernel driver module seems not to be loaded. I tried a lot of thing like the default panfrost driver, self-compiled ARM driver, ARM userspace driver... Sure, I might have screwed some things up by myself. But I wouldn't have started tinkering around with that if it had worked from the beginning on .

Hi @plord have you come any further since then? I have found some how-tos very similar to what you did. But I just ended up at the very same point as you... Cheers

Hi, during the last days there has been some work to add M1S support to Home Assistant. The user @darkxst has modified the device tree used by the mainline u-boot. So maybe this might be a good resource to benefit from? This is the forum thread: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/add-support-for-odroid-m1s/648102 Here is the merged PR: https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system/pull/3121 Cheers

Hi, I'd also like to see armbian running on my M1S. It arrived today and honestly I ordered it in the hope to see it being supported one day. Afaik none of the devs currently own an M1S yet, what makes development somewhat more difficult. So I would be happy to contribute by providing my M1S for tests. So if anyone without an own M1S can provide an Armbian image with modified device tree and so on I will try to perform the desired tests. Cheers and thank you!

Hi, I am trying to get the official Hardkernel RTC board working. This board requires the driver module "rtc-pcf8563.ko" which is not included in the image by default. So I went through the kernel compiling tutorial, to add this module to my "own" kernel, and copy it over to my main system. First problem: the kernel version was different: main system is at version 4.18.8, while the module was compiled for 4.18.20. I could fix this by myself be defining the KERNELBRANCH='tag:v4.18.8'. Second problem: the "linux family" has changed. My main system is at Armbian version 5.60 for family "odroidc2". The driver module was compiled for "meson64". Until now, I could not fix this. So when I try to load this module, this fails with "Exec format error". So basically three questions come to my mind: What can I do to fix the problem with the different linux families by myself? Is there another way to compile just a single driver module for a specific kernel version for a specific board/linux family? Or is this just the way to go to compile "everything at once"? What about adding the driver module for the PCF8563 to the kernel by default? Greetings, Jojo

Ok, thank you! I will contact him. Greetings

Dear Michael, sorry for digging out this ol' thread, but recently I faced the same problem like you. I like to use PWM on the C2. I can load the pwm-meson module, but the (required?) pmw-ctrl module seems to be missing. I don't find anything in my file system, which looks like a PWM compatible pin. Have you come any further? Thanks a lot, greetings, Jojo
