Andeli Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Just received a Orange Pi PC 2 and it runs fine.. except with cpufreq not working I have no idea at what speed. Is there any way to find out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmortanJoe Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 is vdpau supposed to work or exist for the PC2? I've seen conflicting reports. My Armbian doesn't seem to have any trace of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame the legacy kernel's video is so badly broken it can't display anything on most monitors. I did see libvdpau-sunxi1 in the apt repository and installed it but it doesn't seem to do anything useful. Thanks for the confirmation. I wasn't sure if my install had broken over time with all the updates or it wasn't supported. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menion Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 libvdpau-sunxi1 is an experimental vdpau backend that in conjunction with an kernel driver has demonstraded hardware decoding of MPEG2 MPEG4, see: http://free-electrons.com/blog/support-for-the-allwinner-vpu-in-the-mainline-linux-kernel/ Unfortunately it seems that no one is actively working on it. Apart of the lack of support for H264/H265, the kernel driver is out of tree, so as usual, it doesn't compile anymore. In summary we are far away from having a RPi OMX like VPU support 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menion Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I have filled a github issue and started a thread in development forum I see that one mandatory patch is not applied to uboot and the DVFS and THS patch for H5 have been moved to "unresolved" directory I think that user reported boot lockup due to the missing patch in uboot and Armbian devs removed the kernel patches... But so far none of the devs replied, I guess it is vacation time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manel00 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Hi everyone! My first post is for asking for some help... I'm still waiting for some Armbian testing for my Orange PI PC 2, because I'm using Android right now (XunLong custom) and It's perfect for do some Kodi stuff and something else... but I'm missing some LTS software on this board to test multiple things to do. There's some interesting Armbian for this board today, I will set up some KODI and few things to test... ? (Not experimental & not by command-line) Thank you very much Kind Regards 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mousavy_mh Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Hi I am kind of newbie in uboot&kernel, so please forgive me if it's a rookie question Is it possible to compile android (ether original or AOSP) with mainline kernel and uboot? I have already compile armbian uboot&kernel for this device but the result is in .deb format, I have searched the net to convert it but couldn't find anything usefull. in addition the original android source needs some module which produced (I guess) during the compile of legacy kernel, and I couldn't find them in output of armbian compile. any kind of guidance appreciated. Thanks in advance 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuan Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 For those who think PC2's development is stalled, it's possible to build your own Arch Linux image with custom Linux 4.13rc (using armbian .conf and oldconfig) and u-boot 2017.7. You get a more stable ethernet connection and all of upstream goodness bu still lacking DVFS support. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinayotte Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Personally, I don't feel that Armbian PC2 development is stalled ! If you have any enhancement to provide to Armbian, please, submit a PR ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menion Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 DVFS for H5 has been "lost" by the developers, even if it exist in various form. I think it is mainly due to confusion about the PLL divider bug, which was stalling the CPU during frequency transition. The problem has been fixed in uboot. If you check the http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort you can see that the DVFS and THS for H5 is not even scheduled But I have posted on the sunxi newsgroup and if you check the post "DT based cpufreq scaling for H5" Icenowy Zheng (the principal sunxi dev) promised to give a look at it But, as I have said, the code is there, and the main, all including, experimental, repo for H5: https://github.com/megous/linux includes it. In this repo, there is the latest and greatest stuff (with decent testing) for H5. I would suggest the Armbian devs to used this repo for building kernel for H5 Bye 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are known fixes for this instability, though H5 and A64 dev branch currently has a very low priority at least for me, and I don't expect any radical changes before kernel 4.13 and u-boot 2017.09 are both released. 2 hours ago, Menion said: If you check the http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort you can see that the DVFS and THS for H5 is not even scheduled But I have posted on the sunxi newsgroup and if you check the post "DT based cpufreq scaling for H5" Icenowy Zheng (the principal sunxi dev) promised to give a look at it Still WIP and minor changes are required: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/linux-sunxi/-xzEQnP57kI 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menion Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Hi But would not be better to use this repo: https://github.com/megous/linux For the H5 (and possibly H3) build? It contains all the latest and greatest for H3/H5 that will come into mainline sooner or later Bye 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are using this for H3 already (4.11 branch), and since H5 shares the same mainline kernel with A64 switching now will break things if we don't port or adjust a lot of patches. And 4.12 branch there still contains the old Ethernet driver and legacy clock bindings for DVFS/THS, so I wouldn't call it "the latest and greatest" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menion Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Well Actually also the branch used by Armbian so far use the old sun8i-emac and it does not have the DVFS THS at all. Anyhow I am too far from having a full understanding of all the Armbian internals and dependencies, so I cannot really tell you more than just a suggestion Bye 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menion Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Hi, I have just updated uboot and kernel from Armbian build. Kernel is now 4.11.10-sun50iw2 on my OrangePiPC2 I see DVFS+THS patch added to kernel, but no dts bindings, so no cpufreq support and no throttling Also, the USB OTG does not work, even if the WIP code already exist Just as a point of discussion: I think that H3 and H5 shall share the same WIP branch, rather then use the same for H5 and A64. H5 and A64 have a completely different target products and very different architecture, they just share the CPU core. Instead H3 and H5 are much more similar, only cores differs Using https://github.com/megous/linux for H3 and H5 should get rid of most, if not all, the patches currently applied for H5 on Kernel, delivering at the same time a good level of WIP features for proper testing (and the fork itself is tested...) I would be happy to do it on my own to contribute, but I am very bad in bash and I am lost in the Armbian build scripts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my point is that 3rd party WIP branches will not be needed at all pretty soon, mainline 4.13 with some patches on top will be enough for headless usage. 1 hour ago, Menion said: I would be happy to do it on my own to contribute, but I am very bad in bash and I am lost in the Armbian build scripts Just FYI, as I said earlier, switching branches may break stuff including support for some newer H5 devices, and I'm pretty sure that some people would be unhappy about that. If DVFS is essential for you, feel free to fix it, I don't think you need any bash knowledge to do that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flole Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Is someone able to provide Information about the GPIO Interface? There is zero documentation about it on the Orange Pi PC2. How are the port numbers calculated, how are internal pullups activated? As someone has implemented the gpio stuff, it should be usable, I just haven't figured out how to talk to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinayotte Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 With a little search, you would have found that : http://linux-sunxi.org/GPIO In summary, all SoC from AllWinner use the same formula : (position of letter in alphabet - 1) * 32 + pin number For OpiPC2 specific, look at the schematic : http://linux-sunxi.org/File:ORANGE_PI-PC2-V1_2_schematic.pdf For Python library, use https://github.com/duxingkei33/orangepi_PC_gpio_pyH3 But for any 64 bits, you need to fix a small issue : change all references to SUNXI_PIO_BASE in gpio_lib.h/gpio_lib.c from "unsigned int" to "unsigned long" to have a 64 bits pointer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
