Orange Pi R1 Plus (Orange Pi R1+) support?

[Ford_Prefect]

Hi All,

 

since i had many problem with my old OPI R1 (without PLUS) I  just ordered the newer Model with 1 Gig Ram, RK3328 CPU and two Gigabit Ports.

There Is a debian Image available on their Google Drive Share right now, I'll certainly try that out, but Is there a generic Armbian Image as well, I can take?

 

Should be pretty straigt forward Device, I tink.... HDMI Out is not available, only USB Gigabit Ethernet and Rockchip Gigabit Ethernet.

 

Would be great if Hardware encryption for IPSec is also availaibe.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Cheers

Well it's not of my concern anymore. I gave it away. Wouldn't want to burden devs with my problems with it.

But i dont have suficient knowledge on linux to help on development.

We need many different profiles of people to run this project and just about any help, help on development. Since in other case developers have to fix web pages, developers have to run projects, developers have to seek for money, developers have to maintain servers, developers have to maintain forum, developers have to moderate forums, developers have to maintain infrastructure, developers have to maintain relations with partners, developers have to waste time on repeated support question, developers have to deal with "customers", ...

Is there any forecast to have a stable version for this card?

This is amateur supported development so this information can't be provided. We don't know when things will become stable - that is the most expensive part. If we stop with development, we only gain - I would say you should do something about.

I recently got my hands on an R1+ and was able to get it booted with a RockPi-E buster image, though I get the same error when I try to use any of the orangepi-r1plus images.

 

Since I have the hardware, I'd be open to making the needed changes to get this particular board to work in a PR to the armbian/build repo. Can anyone give me any pointers to what might need to change in the orangepi-r1plus image to get there?

I think we have to get rid of our Nanopi R2S patch since I would assume mainline version is just fine and cleaned out. Then adjusting R1 related commits accordingly. Also one quick look into u-boot if upstream version is good enough to boot the board properly and remove patches there too.

And it should work.

I finally had some time this weekend to dig into this. It's my first exposure to the armbian kernel build process and device tree files, so please forgive any stupid questions! I made a first attempt at the changes on my github fork.

 

I was not able to get the kernel built if I completely removed the nanopi-r2s patch as there was some extra dependencies on rockchip-ddr.h. So I started by removing the rev00/rev20 DTS files that seemed to conflict with the mainline, and tried to find any references to the old files and change them.

 

What isn't clear to me is should I be also rewriting the u-boot patch files based on the upstream kernel version as well ? Are those copied completely from the source tree?

 

When I try to boot, I get an error - is there a way I can get more details on what has gone wrong?

I hope I'm not too far off course with my changes, any help is appreciated!

I can only give you one hint at this stage. Kernel 5.14.y is coming (WIP, not finished yet) with improved support for Nanopi R2S. I would propose to start from there. It is too troublesome to back port to 5.10.y We can ship EDGE (5.14.y) variant only.

Of course. If not else, this for sure.

I tried a build of 5.14 and made a couple of adjustments in u-boot-rockchip64-edge/add-board-orangepi-r1plus to include the rk3328-nanopi-r2s.dtb file instead of the rk3328-nanopi-r2-rev00.dtb, but the board doesn't come up and has the same issue reported originally:

What I don't quite get is why nanopi r2s is the basis for the r1 plus image, though the device tree seems to be quite different from the rock pi e, which seems to work pretty well without any adjustments at all?

i just install debian , ubuntu and armbian , but i cannot install remote desktop for any os . I try vnc,TigerVNC.....

 

Anyone know how to remote from win10 to orange pi r1 plus ?

Please show me.

 

Thank so much
