Odroid C1

[sgjava]

Are there any images for the C1? The archive download link is broken.

Here is the link for archived builds for the C1:  https://archive.armbian.com/odroidc1/archive/

[sgjava]

Thanks, I was hoping for a Jammy, I'll have to setup the build env again...

@Markus_So sudo reboot doesn't work? Does sudo systemctl reboot work?

[Markus_]

[  OK  ] Reached target Unmount All Filesystems.
[  OK  ] Reached target Late Shutdown Services.
[  OK  ] Finished System Reboot.
[  OK  ] Reached target System Reboot.

 

system hangs after a sudo reboot/sudo systemctl reboot and does not come up without power cycle. I think problem is in dtb and exists since long time.

 

 

[sgjava]

Yeah, I'm trying to remember. I used the C1 for years. Can you try:
 

sudo systemctl start reboot.target

 

and

 

sudo shutdown -r now

They may resolve to reboot command, but worth a try.

[Markus_]

no change, I think the reboot problem is based on dtb and can only be solved with an editor and dtc

[sgjava]

Does this work on the archived focal img? Then maybe diff the dtb? I had to hack the Duo dtb, so I could use the builtin button.

[Markus_]

problem exist since kernel 5.x for sure, I don't remember if it worked with kernel 3.10

[sgjava]

@Markus_ Just a FYI, the focal image with 5.10 kernel allowed reboot. You can freeze the kernel and upgrade to Jammy that way. Reboot still works.

Hi, I today managed to build and successfully deploy an Armbian Odroid C1 (previous days there was some compile error in das-u-boot, but a git pull today sorted that). I've had it running for half a day, seems OK so far. So while there are no builds, compilation and deploying of a standard console jammy image seems to work!

[sgjava]

@Tomasz Grzegurzkocan you give the command line you used? I'll try now. After git pull I get:

odroidc arm aml_meson odroidc hardkernel m8b hardkernel/odroidc:DDR3_1GB
[ error ] ERROR in function compile_uboot [ functions/cli/cli-entrypoint.sh:109 -> functions/main/build-tasks.sh:278 -> functions/main/build-tasks.sh:145 -> functions/compilation/uboot.sh:131 -> functions/logging/traps.sh:0 ]
[ error ] U-boot compilation failed 
[ o.k. ] Process terminated 

 

Using:

sudo ./compile.sh  BOARD=odroidc1 BRANCH=current RELEASE=jammy BUILD_MINIMAL=no BUILD_DESKTOP=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no COMPRESS_OUTPUTIMAGE=sha,gpg,img

 

[Markus_]

I get same error on u-boot compile, but found a workaround to use prebuilt u-boot:

 

# u-boot compile breaks for odroidc1, use REPOSITORY_INSTALL=u-boot (but only
# legacy/current no edge! or copy deb to ./build/output/debs/linux-u-boot-edge-odroidc1_23.02.0-trunk_armhf.deb)
mkdir -p ./output/debs
wget -c -O ./output/debs/linux-u-boot-edge-odroidc1_23.02.0-trunk_armhf.deb http://apt.armbian.com/pool/main/l/linux-u-boot-odroidc1-current/linux-u-boot-current-odroidc1_21.02.3_armhf.deb

# without CLEAN_LEVEL= linux-image-*.deb will be deleted and new kernel/deb created
./compile.sh CLEAN_LEVEL= KERNEL_KEEP_CONFIG=yes COMPRESS_OUTPUTIMAGE=sha,xz EXPERT=yes

 

[sgjava]

@Markus_ I'll try this tomorrow, thanks!

[sgjava]

@Markus_ Using current and jammy I get:

sudo ./compile.sh BOARD=odroidc1 CLEAN_LEVEL= KERNEL_KEEP_CONFIG=yes COMPRESS_OUTPUTIMAGE=sha,xz EXPERT=yes REPOSITORY_INSTALL=u-boot

[ .... ] Installing from repository [ linux-u-boot-odroidc1-current ]

And debug install.log:

E: Unable to locate package linux-u-boot-odroidc1-current

 

[sgjava]

OK, I got it to build. The secret is REPOSITORY_INSTALL=

 

REPOSITORY_INSTALL (comma-separated list): list of core packages which will be installed from repository

• Available options: u-boot, kernel, bsp, armbian-bsp-cli,armbian-bsp-desktop,armbian-desktop,armbian-config, armbian-firmware
• Set to “” to use packages one from local output or build if not available

I'll do it from scratch and post final instructions.

[sgjava]

@Markus_ I created a new post that has all the steps 

 

[sgjava]

 

[Tomasz Grzegurzko]

Sorry I didn't get notified of the question!

 

Anyway I didn't use anything fancy, just used the text/console tools to build, no command line options given at build time I entered them in using the TUI.

 

Have been running the C1 for a long time now, aside from being unable to reboot from command line, other than that it works fine.

[sgjava]

@Tomasz Grzegurzko That's good to hear. I had the same results.
