Linux kernel 5.7

With our Current moving to 5.7, anyone building it themselves should report anything missing/new/different/wanted here.

I tried reverting a patch in 5.7 that chewitt blamed for some problems but it didn't restore sound.  @balbes150 our current Amlogic patch situation is, well, interesting.  I need to go through one by one and figure out what each one is for.  I neglected my duties for too long.

use alsamix, F6 select audio card, enable some switch. then you can have sound out.

The @ning solution worked for me (kernel 5.6.15). The exact fields to change are: AIU_HDMI to I2S and AIU_SPDI to SPDIF. I don't know the exact meaning of that settings, but worked for me.

on 5.6 yes, I patched 5.6  ;-)  However my quick test on 5.7 this was not the case.  I will check again of course

[Edit] Found the issue, all of the board dts patches got wiped with the bump to 5.7 somehow.  putting them back.  :)

 

[edit2] Can anyone run iozone on their meson64 boards and tell me the outcome?  I'm working on sound, but my SD performance seems really bad.

Sure, I can. I have an odroid C2 and C4.

Please let me know the parameters to use when running iozone.

let's go with

 

iozone -e -I -a -s 100M -r 4k -r 16k -r 512k -r 1024k -r 16384k -i 0 -i 1 -i 2

 

We used to do this to benchmark SD cards, however I think we should probably do it to benchmark Kernel/SBC/etc.  It will only tell us if something is very wrong or significantly improved, small differences are meaningless because too many variables

This is the odroid-c2 on a emmc card 5.6.15-meson64 kernel:

Let me know if you want other tests.

@ning Yeah, I was keeping up with the mailing list, reverted it here: https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/9372fcdedfb6af9709ba1a046e983523997aeada

 

Now it all works, we had a Vim1 issue because it wasn't using the modified card name so PA wasn't immediately enabling it (I chose to use "gx-sound-card")

 

I have not touched vim2 and up, I don't have test boards.

Hello,

 

Could someone tell me if sound works on hdmi output with Odroid C2 with armbian kernel 5.7.15 ?

I've got no sound, just 'dummy' settings and nothing on jack or hdmi out... Maybe i did something wrong while installing...

 

Thanks

 

Regards
