I can confirm that high temperature issues I ran with @balbes150 kernel from git repository are related to Panfrost.

 

Blacklisting Panfrost also makes you able to reboot as @balbes150 pointed out.

 

Still working on bluetooth :)

I was able to reinstate sound via HDMI after a kernel update by running

  

amixer -c0 sset 'AIU HDMI CTRL SRC' I2S

 

There it is, in case it helps anybody out.

Restore the regular Android firmware and if you do not know how the system works , exactly follow the instructions that you are given .

Listen less to all the stuff that has nothing to do with Linux (Armbian).

Exactly the opposite. Worse than Rockchip and Allwinner

I'm glad to announce I have WiFi and Bluetooth working with kernel 5.7.0-rc1 pulled from @balbes150 git repository!

 

The box in question is a H96 Pro+ 3GB/32GB (S912).

 

First we must build the kernel with the following options:

  

# CONFIG_STANDALONE is not set
# CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD is not set

#
# Firmware loader
#
CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE=""

 

Now me must copy the firmware files to /lib/firmware.

 

You can obtain the firmware for example from here: https://github.com/chewitt/qca-firmware

 

Rename fbtfw11.tlv to rampatch_00230302.bin

 

Also rename tfbtnv11.bin to nvm_00230302.bin.

 

Now create a new meson-gxm-q200-h96proplus.dts file in the arch/arm64/boot/dts directory and add a Makefile rule to it.

 

DTB should be as follows:

By the way if any of you try this fix, remember to comment out the relevant &uart_A section in meson-gx-p23x-q20x.dtsi otherwise you may have problems!

These options have been used in the kernel for a long time, and don't need to enable anything.

This is not required. When using all new values, they replace the values from the included file.

Default kernel won't even try to load firmware from /lib/firmware via FW_LOADER after mounting rootfs with these options set! :)

It may reolace the compatible but it will make a royal mess when loading module hci_uart with both enable-gpios and shutdown-gpios assigned to the same GPIO.

Hi

 

Maybe my messages doesn't show up to this thread but I'm trying to ask about Armbian Strecth image. I hope someone has it and would share it for us. I'm looking also 32bit distro for the s905w but looks like the armbian doesn't have support for that? I would be very grateful for the help

 

@balbes150 Have you deleted those old versions?

Hello there!

 

@balbes150, can you update img on mega cloud please?

 

People already run Panfrost on S905X3 (odroid-c4 board), someone get Mali-G31 (in S905X3) work with acceleration on H96 Max X3?

 

I bought H96 Max X3 box and have happy hour with DTB/Mesa/Panfros cooking :blink: but stay on llvm renderer.

 

But get some result - BT now is working, for get this - put to folder "/lib/firmware/brcm" file bcm4335c0.hcd from:

https://github.com/kszaq/brcmfmac_sdio-firmware-aml/blob/master/firmware/brcm/bcm4335c0.hcd

with name "BCM4335C0.hcd" and reboot.

 

Try compare DTB from Odroid-C4 / H96 Max X3 Android 9 / and presented here by @ramoncio and get obviously zero error in dmesg, here my files:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1FToRIJFOjJudNKrRr7S_GgNX0Q-3DmmF?usp=sharing 

 

Don't get working yet 3D acceleration and video encoding but dmesg tell me about proper loading wifi, eth, bt, vpu, gpu and fb.

I think you can build it yourself in bullseye.

 

https://gimx.fr/wiki/index.php?title=Development_on_Linux

 

Sure, it doesn't list Armbian Bullseye, but it seems to be just a case of hunting out dependencies, checking out from git, building and setting up permissions.

Hello there!

 

@balbes150, thanks!

 

At last two week people already run Panfrost on S905X3 (odroid-c4 board).

 

Someone here get Mali-G31 (in S905X3) work with acceleration?

Who here with similar box as H96 Max X3 (with S905X3), can you share your DTS/DTB files and few words about what is working and how your filing?

 

Maybe some tall me how properly check panfrost kernel module is working or only loaded?

 

Thanks :D

Is anyone running a Beelink GT-King and does your box remain stable OR lock-up/freeze when transferring data to/from SD/USB?

 

Mine freezes completely when I transfer data around. My full post on it is here 

 

My system is a version 2.2 board the SA9X model.

 

 

I also see an "Internal error: Oops: 96000004 [#1] PREEMPT SMP" in the UART logs (See spoiler for full logs)

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

If your system is running stable... be it any revision, please let me know.... and if there are any tweaks/changes anyone can suggest to try.....???

 

Many thanks

Hello.

Big thanks to balbes150 for supporting this project and everyonelse answering questions as well.

I was able to boot from the USB drive into Armbian but run into an issue when copying to eMMC.

It is intermittent, but it seems that Armbian is not seeing my internal memory. In those rare cases when it does (mutliple reboot tries) it throws errors (see below) when I run install script.

At this moment of time I am about to give up, as I've spent 2 days on this issue trying different images. 

Is there anything else I can do? 

Thank you.

Thanks @balbes150 for releasing 20.05.4 images!

Armbian_20.05.4_Arm-64_bionic_current_5.7.0-rc3_desktop_20200508.img.xz runs as expected nice on x96mini 2/16 (on this newer V4.0-PCB with working wifi&bt) preparing for headless use(with hdmi-display-dongle) on eMMC after testing from card for an hour or so. So I didn't test eth yet(time to sleep here now..) and also usb sound is just on other V1.x-box connected, but I don't expect big problems when installing on several other p281-pcbs later too..

Hi @balbes150 and everyone,

 

Armbian_20.05.4_Arm-64_bionic_current_5.7.0-rc3_desktop_20200508.img.xz runs as expected on Mecool KIII pro ( burn the image on the eMMC method).

 

All running well such as Sound, Bluetooth and HDMI display. but Ethernet LAN and WIFI cannot work.

 

Already try meson-gxm-mecool-kiii-pro.dtb and meson-gxm-q200.dtb, it still didn't work.

Could you or anyone can advice what should i do to checking/debugging further?

 

Thanks.

Contact the hardware manufacturer to develop and source the correct DTB for the mainline kernel with support for all devices for your models.
