Switching SUNXI-DEV to 5.6.y

Werner · April 8, 2020

OrangePi One Plus confirmed as well. Did not test much though. Boots, HDMI works, DE without Panfrost works. Ethernet works...well, that's pretty much it what I have tested :lol:

dolphs · April 8, 2020

@Wernervery well - currently playing with wireguard on both; cpu temp +/- 46-49 degrees , not stressing both boards ( yet ).

Will wait for that till 1,8GHz can be configured (re-enabled) again, it has been "discussed" in 5.4 dev already

It can. At current at least.

Simply chance the max at /etc/default/cpufrequtils to 1810000

dolphs · April 8, 2020

unfortunately not on my OpiOnePlus, at least with this config

@orangepioneplus1:~$ cat /etc/default/cpufrequtils
ENABLE=true
MIN_SPEED=480000
MAX_SPEED=1810000
GOVERNOR=conservative

Board shows after "reboot" :

As well armbian-config not showing 1,8GHz , did not find an overlay setting ( like H5 ) so I guess this is WIP and will await a permanent solution.

for now I am OK as it boots in to the new kernel and therefore I can access and play with both boards

Put this to userpatches when building dev

https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/patch/kernel/sunxi-current/xxx-sun50i-h6-enable-higher-clock.patch

dolphs · April 8, 2020

@Werner would you mind allowing my the QnD way by adding your " sun50i-h6-orangepi-one-plus.dtb " to your post so I should not need to recompile and just replace current file in " /boot/dtb/allwinner " ... :rolleyes:

[ current state meanwhile after compiling :]

Werner · April 8, 2020

I just noticed that for 5.6 it seems like this patch is not longer necessary. Simply edit the cpufrequitls max frequency to 1810000 and reload the service. The max clock is unlocked then. Check with armbianmonitor and put some load to the board.

Make sure to put some cooling to the board.

dolphs · April 8, 2020

@Werner Err check my previous post, NOK

I did this previously ( exact steps below ) and even the OPiOnePlus got a nice reboot

Just to be certain this is what my build says : " Linux orangepioneplus1 5.6.2-sunxi64 #trunk SMP Tue Apr 7 09:22:09 CEST 2020 aarch64 GNU/Linux "

Next attempt when 5.6.3 is incorporated in to dev build

cd ~/armbian/userpatches     # neither in ~armbian/userpatches/kernel/sunxi-current
wget https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/patch/kernel/sunxi-current/xxx-sun50i-h6-enable-higher-clock.patch

cd..
./compile.sh BRANCH=dev RELEASE=buster BUILD_MINIMAL=yes BUILD_DESKTOP=no KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no BUILD_EXTERNAL=no EXTRAWIFI=no

Werner · April 10, 2020

Fixed.

kernel 5.6.2-sunxi(64) did here also boot on the following SBCs:

- OrangePi One / Zero

Many Thanks to @martinayotte

Also the OrangePi R1 with NAS-Board-Extension does work fine

@Wernermoin moin I had to put it in sunx-dev of course,

me bad however still NOK " only garbage was found in the patch input " - seems I am overlooking something else now

Not sure, maybe your setup is corrupted?

The patch was applied successful at head run: https://armbian.lane-fu.com/jenkins/job/armbian-test-pr/74/consoleFull

dolphs · April 10, 2020

ok firing up a new build, wiped armbian completely and looks promising so far - will flash OPiOnePlus shortly:

[ o.k. ] * [l][c] xxx-sun50i-h6-enable-higher-clock.patch

And indeed looking much better now so no need for Jira story anymore ;-), danke-gracias-thanks-bedankt-multumesc-hvala etc etc

@orangepioneplus:~# cpufreq-info |tail -1
  cpufreq stats: 480 MHz:83.61%, 720 MHz:0.92%, 816 MHz:0.20%, 888 MHz:0.02%, 1.08 GHz:0.09%, 1.32 GHz:0.11%, 1.49 GHz:8.99%, 1.64 GHz:0.09%, 1.80 GHz:5.98%  (153)

Now let's see how things will hold as H5's show in "idle mode" ( conservative) a CPU temp of +/- 35°C ( current CPU frequency is 480 MHz )

while H6 shows CPU temp of 49°C already with passive cooling . The 1,8Ghz would be needed only when I synch my NAS with remote site for a couple of minutes.

For regular TV streaming CPU stays at mostly at 480Mhz ( cpufreq stats: 408 MHz:85.35% ) so I hope active cooling won't be needed because of the 15 degrees temp difference in idle mode already

OrangePi Lite2 might be broken on the latest 5.6 kernel version (which is at this moment 5.6.12 at megi's repo) since these two patches fail to apply:

npi-a64-only-audio-usb.patch
board-h6-orangepi-lite2-fix-missing-all.patch
