Actual sd card slot is still limited to SD25, so you won't see anything like 90MB/s. Not that it matter, because responsiveness is determined by random performance, not sequential.

Thank you for explanation. It sounds like a HW limitation, or does it due FW?

Its a board limitation, so it cant be patch in software.

Any solution?

IIRC DPMS is / used to be buggy so it's disabled in config ... it goes off and it never came back. Try and play with settings to see if it's working now.

[zador.blood.stained]

PC2 uses simplefb video output here, so controlling HDMI output is not possible.

I already tested on this config, is didn't work...

I failed to see / register that we are talking about PC2 with development mainline kernel and it's temporally simplefb video driver. Bottom up: this function doesn't work with this kernel yet. This is the only kernel ATM.

Hi

One question: is the power button supported by acpi events (via acpid) on WIP Sunxi mainline kernel 4.10.x?

Actually I see that when I press the button I get 2 interrupts on CPU0 from this source:

 32:          5          0          0          0  sunxi_pio_edge   3 Edge      sw4

But a sudo acpi_listen does not report any event

Bye

At least on H3 device this button is configured as an input device that sends "shutdown" key press, but I don't remember if it is implemented in the branch we are currently using on PC2.

[Menion]

Well, H3 boards work (or at least Orange pi pc 1 for sure). 

Does this require some DTS bindings, or it is something that shall be implemented in kernel? 

[Menion]

Hello Igor.

I have noticed that the kernel package of the testing Ubuntu builds, miss the v4l kernel modules. As far as I remember, these modules are part of linux-image-extra package, that is platform specific. Unfortunately the build of the linuxtv kernel repo, fails.

Do you know if these package is available somehow?

I would like to test the realiability of the USB port with DVB cards, that have some problems with mainline kernels on A20

Bye

Small update

I build a custom kernel from Igor git repo, with the multimedia drivers. After having installed the packages I could initialize the USB DVB-T (an AS Media). I could also tune the channels, but after a short playback of a DVB-T channel via TVHeadend, the kernel panics and after the reboot, it is not possible to enumerate the key without an hardware power cycle, this is what I get:

I have a 3A power supply and the DVB-T key is the only thing connected to USB (well actually, nothing is connected to the board).

Without the kernel panic, it is the same problem I experience with the BananaPi, using this key.

Does anyone know if there is some well known USB limitation with AllWinner in mainline? This key works ok with a Raspberry PI, even if some RPi specific tweaks are required at kernel cmdline

@Menion IIRC I had the same issue. Try setting CPU governor to "performance".

Apparently it has something to do with the specific DVB-T driver. I have tested a Terratec based on em28xx plus xc3028 tuner. Even if this key require much more current, it works perfectly with OPiPc2

Wait (1 week or more) until migration to 4.11 is completed or use a previous nightly image with kernel 4.10

[VyacheslavS]

How to roll back to the previous kernel? Or need the whole system to put from zero?

Not possible unless you have a backup. Beta/nightly repository usually has only the latest kernel versions so installing older kernel versions is not possible unless you or anybody else have required .deb files.

[VyacheslavS]

Today came the update. The temperature value earned. Information about the processor not working yet.

Hi all,

 

I am trying to use vlan functionality I've noticed that the kernel is compiled without vlan 802.1q support (/boot/config-4.11.0-sun50iw2):

 

# CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q is not set

 

Is it possible to include it in the next releases?

You have to clone the armbian repo: https://github.com/armbian/build

Then recompile a kernel (use ./compile.sh KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes KERNEL_ONLY=yes) and enable under drivers/multimedia/platform the v4l webcam support you need

The out of tree linuxtv will never compile unless if matched with exactly the kernel version supported. It is a long story, and sadly one of the biggest limitation in Linux, that I believe no one is really willing to solve, such implement a stable framework for out of tree drivers implementation.

Planning on buying an Orange Pi and would like to buy a H5 based one but warned by the disclaimer I have a simple question... is the current support good enough for semi-production environment or should i stick with the H3 CPU?

[martinayotte]

That all depends about what you wish to do ...

Well stuff like homegrown phyton scripts, things like nzbget, couch potato and homebridge 

[martinayotte]

So, maybe you should give it a try ...

Looks like cpufreq is still broken (did an update after a while).

Just a warning for those updating.

Ic2 not working in latest mainline

Installed Armbian_5.27.170522_Orangepipc2_Ubuntu_xenial_dev_4.11.1_desktop.img on OrangePi PC2

Found i2c missing 

Adds overylay in /boot/armbianEnv.txt ->overlays=i2c0 i2c1 i2c2

Modified i2c to enabled in  /boot/dtb-4.11.1-sun50iw2/allwinner/sun50i-h5-orangepi-pc2.dtb

 

Still no luck to find any i2c devices

Hm. "reg" property of i2c2 in sunxi-h3-h5.dtsi is wrong (copy-paste issue)

        i2c1: i2c@01c2b000 {
            compatible = "allwinner,sun6i-a31-i2c";
            reg = <0x01c2b000 0x400>;
            interrupts = <GIC_SPI 7 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
            clocks = <&ccu CLK_BUS_I2C1>;
            resets = <&ccu RST_BUS_I2C1>;
            pinctrl-names = "default";
            pinctrl-0 = <&i2c1_pins>;
            status = "disabled";
            #address-cells = <1>;
            #size-cells = <0>;
        };

        i2c2: i2c@01c2b400 {
            compatible = "allwinner,sun6i-a31-i2c";
            reg = <0x01c2b000 0x400>;
            interrupts = <GIC_SPI 8 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
            clocks = <&ccu CLK_BUS_I2C2>;
            resets = <&ccu RST_BUS_I2C2>;
            pinctrl-names = "default";
            pinctrl-0 = <&i2c2_pins>;
            status = "disabled";
            #address-cells = <1>;
            #size-cells = <0>;
        };

 

The issue is present in linux-next too, so it has to be reported upstream.

I2C should work after the next kernel and DT packages update.
