ZjemCiKolege Posted May 31 Posted May 31 (edited) @Igor I have been using uboot V2025.04(2025-snuxi) on orangepi zero2w since 19 April and everything is works as it should no problems. https://github.com/ZjemCiKolege/build/commit/b3eaeb7d2059c3429951da7e6022c9528237c0e7 Edited May 31 by ZjemCiKolege 1 Quote
boyd86 Posted June 1 Posted June 1 During the first few boots on my Orange Pi Zero 3 1GB, RAM size seemed to be detected correctly. Yesterday I saw RAM size being reported as 2GB, also after a reboot. As soon as the fixed U-Boot is available to install I am happy to provide test results or other test procedures when needed! 0 Quote
boyd86 Posted June 3 Posted June 3 I have a custom build running to try u-boot 2025.4, some warnings about "no previous prototype for..." are given, for example: [🔨] drivers/net/wireless/rtl8192eu/hal/phydm/phydm.c:434:6: warning: no previous prototype for 'phydm_common_info_self_reset' [-Wmissing-prototypes] [🔨] 434 | void phydm_common_info_self_reset(struct dm_struct *dm) [🔨] | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [🔨] drivers/net/wireless/rtl8192eu/hal/phydm/phydm.c:477:6: warning: no previous prototype for 'phydm_phy_info_update' [-Wmissing-prototypes] [🔨] 477 | void phydm_phy_info_update(struct dm_struct *dm) Is this just a warning or do I need to supply extra info/libraries to build without those warnings? 0 Quote
robertoj Posted June 3 Posted June 3 drivers/net/wireless/rtl8192eu/hal/phydm/phydm.c seems like a linux source file... maybe this warning was shown AFTER uboot finished compiling? 0 Quote
boyd86 Posted June 3 Posted June 3 From what I understood, yes this was after u-boot compilation. https://paste.armbian.eu/hilijogore.bash contains the log, there is no img file in the output directory. Before I ran ./compile.sh I added BOOTBRANCH="tag:v2025.04" and BOOTPATCHDIR="v2025.04" to config/boards/orangepizero3.csc. 0 Quote
robertoj Posted June 3 Posted June 3 In the final lines of your build log output, it seems that it cant download some ubuntu packages. I dont see linux compilation errors (I only looked at it for 1 minute). Can you try rebuilding with debian? 0 Quote
boyd86 Posted June 4 Posted June 4 Apparently the compile script or one of its libraries uses a fixed DNS server instead of the DHCP provided one. After disabling some pfSense rules I was able to successfully boot. However, it seems like still 2GB RAM is incorrectly shown: _ _ _ __ __ _ _ _ /_\ _ _ _ __ | |__(_)__ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ _ ___ / _|/ _(_)__(_)__ _| | / _ \| '_| ' \| '_ \ / _` | ' \___| || | ' \/ _ \ _| _| / _| / _` | | /_/ \_\_| |_|_|_|_.__/_\__,_|_||_| \_,_|_||_\___/_| |_| |_\__|_\__,_|_| v25.08 rolling for Orange Pi Zero3 running Armbian Linux 6.12.30-current-sunxi64 Packages: Debian stable (bookworm) Support: DIY (custom image) IPv4: --- Performance: Load: 20% Up time: 1 min Memory usage: 7% of 1.93G CPU temp: 45°C Usage of /: 9% of 15G Also, /dev/ttyS1 is not working, I used overlays=uart5 which enabled /dev/ttyS1 correctly using Armbian Debian Minimal image from the Download section. dmesg does not output anything related to ttyS1. 0 Quote

ag123 Posted June 16 Author Posted June 16 it seemed that the (minimal/iot) images linked on the boards page , have been updated, I just downloaded Armbian_community_25.8.0-trunk.228_Orangepizero3_bookworm_current_6.12.30_minimal.img.xz for orangepi zero 3. note I only checked debian as that is what i'm using https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero-3/ 0 Quote

robertoj Posted June 17 Posted June 17 Last year, I tried to set up "Access Point" mode in orange pi zero 3 and never got it working. Do you have a link to the instructions to make it work? 0 Quote
ag123 Posted June 17 Author Posted June 17 @robertoj there are some 'old' stuff that may not be fully relevant but still useful this gist likely helps: https://gist.github.com/ag88/de02933ba65500376d1ff48e504b1bf3 an 'old' post: Note that currently in the minimal image netplan is set to systemd-networkd https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Networking/#minimal-images I'm less familiar with systemd-networkd, though it is possible to setup the network fully with it. What i did currently, is to update netplan config as above to use NetworkManager After that I use NetworkManger to setup a bridge adding the ethernet interface. https://gist.github.com/ag88/de02933ba65500376d1ff48e504b1bf3 . However, I actually make NetworkManager *unmanage* the Wifi interface, because i'm using hostapd. I'm using hostapd mainly because in journalctl logs, there is an entry for every host/client that connects. I'm not sure about how to do the same with Network Manager. hostapd also supports elaborate RADIUS authentication if one wants to go the distance. Then I install and configure hostapd as described in the gist, and during startup, hostapd actually patch the wifi interface into the bridge that is setup with NetworkManager.. The configuration for wifi AP is completely done in hostapd.conf as described in the gist. I'm using a bridge as DHCP is managed from my gateway router, hence I did not run a separate DHCP server instance in Orange Pi Zero 3 itself. An alternative setup is to setup NAT (network address translation) on the Orange Pi Zero 3 and to run a DHCP server on the Orange Pi Zero 3 itself. I think NAT approach is 'more common' I'm using hostapd, but I think without hostapd, it is also possible to setup an AP using NetworkManager alone. i.e. to let Network Manager manage the Wifi interface, and configure it as an AP. The benefit here is that Network manager woulld likely manage the DHCP and NAT as well all from Network Manager configurations. As I'm doing everything from the command line, I used NetworkManager cli (nmcli) for all the network manager configuration tasks. Note that while messing with networking, it is necessary to work in the serial debug console using a usb-uart dongle. i.e. bootup and login as root using a usb-uart dongle to the 3 'debug' pins for the serial console. 0 Quote
ag123 Posted June 19 Author Posted June 19 there are a few caveats that may need a bit of attention It is documented somewhere that if you use channel 0, the driver would automatically select an appropriate channel / frequency. However, it seemed that back then initially while I tested it, that didn't seem to work. (i'm not sure if it may have changed) hence to list the channels one needs to run iw list and you would get a list of channels like such * 2412 MHz [1] (20.0 dBm) * 2417 MHz [2] (20.0 dBm) * 2422 MHz [3] (20.0 dBm) * 2427 MHz [4] (20.0 dBm) * 2432 MHz [5] (20.0 dBm) * 2437 MHz [6] (20.0 dBm) * 2442 MHz [7] (20.0 dBm) * 2447 MHz [8] (20.0 dBm) * 2452 MHz [9] (20.0 dBm) * 2457 MHz [10] (20.0 dBm) * 2462 MHz [11] (20.0 dBm) * 2467 MHz [12] (20.0 dBm) * 2472 MHz [13] (20.0 dBm) * 2484 MHz [14] (20.0 dBm) * 5170 MHz [34] (disabled) * 5180 MHz [36] (20.0 dBm) * 5200 MHz [40] (20.0 dBm) * 5220 MHz [44] (20.0 dBm) * 5240 MHz [48] (20.0 dBm) * 5260 MHz [52] (20.0 dBm) (radar detection) * 5280 MHz [56] (20.0 dBm) (radar detection) ... * 5720 MHz [144] (20.0 dBm) (radar detection) * 5745 MHz [149] (20.0 dBm) * 5765 MHz [153] (20.0 dBm) * 5785 MHz [157] (20.0 dBm) * 5805 MHz [161] (20.0 dBm) * 5825 MHz [165] (20.0 dBm) what I normally do is to do a scan and pick an unused / least used channel : iw wlan0 scan pick an appropriate channel and specify it in hostapd.conf. 5ghz channels (hw_mode=a) delivers a max throughput of like 140 Mbps which is fast. https://docs.armbian.com/WifiPerformance/#uwe-5622 accordingly there are some country specific requirements for 5ghz channel selections and one may like review https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels iw reg set etc I did a google search and some of these resources may be useful https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NetworkManager https://www.baeldung.com/linux/nmcli-wap-sharing-internet in a same way you may need to set the channel if necessary then that this repo is found in a google search which may be useful https://github.com/pi-top/Wi-Fi-Access-Point-and-Station-Mode/tree/master 0 Quote

ag123 Posted 7 hours ago Author Posted 7 hours ago as I've not been running X11, I can't really help with this, but among the things, check the logs during X startup (normally /var/log/*), that could lead to the cause. note also that more recently, the display systems are running wayland rather than X11. that could cause xfce etc to fail if it is expecting an X11 based setup it is also recommended to bootup in the uart console (debug) port using a usb-uart dongle. - the benefits are numerous, the boot messages are mostly presented - it provides you with a console to login and check things while the system is running e.g. to login and check dmesg and other logs - essential especially when re-wiring network configuration 0 Quote
