Armbian running on RK3229 Respeaker Core (not a TV-Box, but RK322x)


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hi,

 

I have build my own RK322x - Armbian Kernel (legacy) for RK3229 Respeaker, because the standard armbian configuration for rk322x doesnt boot (kernel pancic). 

The respeaker isnt a TV Box, but a smart speaker device from seeed studios https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/ReSpeaker_Core_v2.0/

 

Thats why I'm using the patches from respeaker source builder https://github.com/respeaker/source_builder 

 

Armbian boots now successfully from sd card.

 

I've got 2 problems and maybe somebody can help me with this.

 

1) Wifi

The Respeaker uses ap6212. It needs a proprietary firmware, which armbian holds in /lib/firmware. But my Armbian looks at fw_path /system/etc/firmware. I can create this path and copy the files and the WiFi works as a charm.

How can I change fw_path to look at /lib/firmware ?

 

2) eMMC

The Respeaker hast eMMC but rk322x-config doesnt work. The apply of the DT-Overlay fails with FDT_ERR...

 

Fdisk is not able to detect eMMC. It only shows the SD Card.

rk322x-config shows that the device has an emmc installed

 

ls /sys/bus/mmc/devices
mmc0:aaaa  mmc2:0001

Dmesg Output shows that mmc0 is the sd card

dmesg | grep mmc0

I think mmc2 should be the emmc

How can I enable the emmc ?

 

Maybe I should post this in a developer forum ? 

 

Thanks !

I forgot, shure I've changed fdfile=rk322x-box.dtb to fdtfile=rk3229-respeaker-v2.dtb in /boot/armbianEnv.txt.

Hello,

 

very glad to hear about a real rk322x board ;)

ReSpeaker board was actually what gave most of the traction in the initial phase thanks to their documentation, studied mostly by @fabiobassa

 

Anyway let's get on the tracks. I don't have a board like yours but will try to help.

First of all to make life easier, always provide u-boot and dmesg logs.

 

Now the Respeaker board is somewhat different from a regular tvbox and for this reason rk322x-config is useless for you.

 

If you applied the respeaker patches, you should have a file rk3229-respeaker-v2.dtb in /boot/dtb.

If so, change the line fdfile=rk322x-box.dtb to fdtfile=rk3229-respeaker-v2.dtb in /boot/armbianEnv.txt and reboot the machine.

 

This is essential to let the kernel know what is the hardware of the respeaker board. Without this, it will be much harder getting farther.

 

Looking at the snippet you provided, the mmc2 device is not the internal eMMC, but the SDIO Wifi chip. It looks to me also that it does not get configured right in your current setup. Using the respeaker device tree may definitely help here!

 

The ap6212 firmware is already there in /lib/firmware/brcm/ap6212, and the kernel module able to drive the wifi chip is brcmfmac.

brcmfmac is a bit "stupid" about firmware directory, because it won't look in ap6212 directory, but will just look in /lib/firmware/brcm, so probably you may want to copy the content of ap6212 into its brcm parent and then try with modprobe brcmfmac to see what happens.

But all of this can work only when the SDIO bus is working correctly, ie: you need the proper device tree in place.

as jock said the process was in reality starting from respeaker and going to tvboxes !!

all I can say that you respeaker will work perfectly and you only need some tuning

Thank you for support. As suggested I'm using the rk3229-respeaker-v2.dtb in armbianEnv.txt. I also try to disable the rk322x overlay option in armbianEnv.txt. But with no success. I also trying to use the dtb-file from the original seeed Studio ReSpeaker image, but this doesn't boot. 

 

From u-boot commandline I can access the emmc.

 

I think it has something to do with the device tree file, but I can't figure it out. In the patch I didn't see anything mmc related. Could this be the reason? How should the dt-source look like ?

 

I have added the u-boot & dmesg logs to the first post.

That's good, u-boot is using my "generic" device tree which is embedded into u-boot itself. At least we know the emmc is working with a basic configuration.

Thanks for the logs, I think the problem is related to this one:

[    3.771361] dwmmc_rockchip 30020000.dwmmc: All phases bad!
[    3.771367] mmc1: tuning execution failed
[    3.771382] mmc1: error -5 whilst initialising MMC card

which may be related to pin initialization or most probably to eMMC DDR mode. U-boot does not use eMMC in DDR mode.

I didn't spot any mmc-ddr strings in the ReSpeaker patches. I can take a look to the compiled device tree if you attach it here, but in the meantime you can decompile it, find the dwmmc@30020000 node and comment all the properties starting with pinctrl-names, pinctrl-0, mmc-ddr-1_8v and rockchip,default-sample-phase. Recompile it back and try again.

I have done, what you suggested.  In the dts file there are no such properties, like pinctrl-names etc.

        dwmmc@30020000 {
                compatible = "rockchip,rk3228-dw-mshc\0rockchip,rk3288-dw-mshc";
                reg = < 0x30020000 0x4000 >;
                interrupts = < 0x00 0x0e 0x04 >;
                clock-frequency = < 0x23c3460 >;
                clock-freq-min-max = < 0x61a80 0x23c3460 >;
                clocks = < 0x02 0x1cb 0x02 0x47 0x02 0x75 0x02 0x79 >;
                clock-names = "biu\0ciu\0ciu-drive\0ciu-sample";
                bus-width = < 0x08 >;
                num-slots = < 0x01 >;
                fifo-depth = < 0x100 >;
                status = "okay";
                broken-cd;
                cap-mmc-highspeed;
                mmc-hs200-1_8v;
                supports-emmc;
                disable-wp;
                non-removable;
                phandle = < 0xa3 >;
        };

I have uploaded the dtb file here : https://gofile.io/d/v11tZM

 

BTW: I compared the dwcmmc@3002000 section from decompiled dtb from my build with the decompiled dtb from the Seeed respeaker Image (Debian stretch from 2018). In this file I have found such properties. But if I add these properties to my build, there is unfortunately no success (no /dev/mmcblk1...) , but other dmesg output mmc1 (the same as mmc2)

Dealing with decompiled device trees is a bit tricky and copy&paste if often a bad idea.

In your particular case, copying the pin controller entries you are linking the mmc controller to the USB physical-level chip, which is something you definitely may not want to do :rolleyes:

 

I rearranged a bit the node:

  • fixed the pinctrl to point to the right ones
  • removed the mmc-hs200 property: this can be harmful in case the PMIC is not configured correctly
  • added the default-sample-phase property, I guess it is safe since it comes from the manufacturer
  • added sd-uhs-sdr50 property, which should not be there since it should affect only sd cards and sdio, but who knowns...

 

Try this one and tell me if it works.
