RockPro64 and Marvell 88SE9230 compatibility

[Guest]

Hi everybody,

 

I have a problem with this version: Armbian_20.05.2_Rockpro64_buster_legacy_4.4.213.img

I don't see my disk that is plugged on the PCIe To SATA Marvell 88SE9230 in the system.

I've create the file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-marvell.rules with the following line on it:

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pci", ATTR{vendor}=="0x1b4b", ATTR{device}=="0x9230", RUN+="/bin/bash -c 'echo %k > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ahci/bind'"

 

If I do the same thing with this version: Armbian_20.05.4_Rockpro64_focal_current_5.4.46.img, I see my disk after creating the file.

But, there's two problem with this version: first the fan always running and, more important, second I can't install OpenMediaVault on it.

 

My question is, do I have to do something on the kernel? If so, could someone tell me what I have to activate to see my disk ?

I don't have a lot of knowledge about kernels but I'm ready to jump it if someone could tell me where to check.

 

Thank you all in advance.

Hi,

Myself has a bunch of Marvell chipset sata cards. And almost sure all of them work on kernel 5.7.12 - Try it out and let me know.

I did notice months back probs in OMV with that type of cards. I run kernel 5.7.12 with simpnas and works like charm.

it doesn't work even on a newest kernel:

user@rockpro64:~$ uname -r
6.6.16-current-rockchip64

user@rockpro64:~$ sudo cat /etc/armbian-release |egrep -i "version|branch|board"

After initiating it appeared with the disks connected:

 

user@rockpro64:~$ echo "0000:01:00.0" | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ahci/bind

0000:01:00.0

@rockpro64:~$ sudo lspci -v -s 01:00.0

    Kernel driver in use: ahci

 

Thus the workaround with udev rules still needs to be applied.
