RSS Bot Posted September 8, 2023 Posted September 8, 2023 Adds official support for the board and solid foundation for the development Description Progress from https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/5684 The original work is on https://github.com/Kreyren/armbian-build-kreyren/compare/6cd581c96c0b7b800b6549afe23112d4a662d2a0..811288169004dccacab964129ecaf8cfe891b22d i tried to shorten it as much as possible for the easy merge request review The image boots and seems to work without major issues The fans doesn't work and need to be corrected with: echo 1 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/export echo 1000000 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm1/period echo 1000000 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm1/duty_cycle echo 1 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm1/enable CC @chainsx - Rerefencing https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/5684#discussion_r1318068619 -> you seem to have better understanding for how to make it work, please implement it The audio has issues with playback e.g. crab rave from youtube has lot of popping sounds on both the HDMI output and headphones through JACK UEFI was not implemented and i try to submit that in next patch, TODO tracking Tested using: $ ./compile.sh build BOARD=sipeed-licheepi-4a BRANCH=legacy BUILD_DESKTOP=no BUILD_MINIMAL=yes EXPERT=yes KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no RELEASE=sid Build Log: https://paste.next.armbian.com/oxamexecoj Complains about: [π³|π¨] ===================== WARNING ====================== [π³|π¨] This board does not use CONFIG_DM_USB. Please update [π³|π¨] the board to use CONFIG_DM_USB before the v2019.07 release. [π³|π¨] Failure to update by the deadline may result in board removal. [π³|π¨] See doc/driver-model/MIGRATION.txt for more info. [π³|π¨] ==================================================== [π³|π¨] ===================== WARNING ====================== [π³|π¨] CONFIG_OF_EMBED is enabled. This option should only [π³|π¨] be used for debugging purposes. Please use [π³|π¨] CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE for boards in mainline. [π³|π¨] See doc/README.fdt-control for more info. [π³|π¨] ==================================================== I try to address it in next merge request The GPU and NPU are not usable, context in Figure out the GPU and NPU https://github.com/ryan4yin/nixos-licheepi4a/issues/11.. blame the manufacturer GNOME doesn't compile as it's currently broken for riscv64 in debian repositories I didn't work on ubuntu compatibility, @chainsx seems to be better option for that as it seems to be his main distro Debian claims that bookworm will never support riscv so should be flagged Trixie doesn't build because: [π³|πΈ] Could not find package filename for 'base-files' in 'https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/riscv64/base-files/download' [ looking for base-files ] Debian upstream informed and working on the issue, i try to submit patch if they take long time Complains about: [ 2.563670] [ 2.565219] ******************************************************************** [ 2.572714] ** NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE ** [ 2.580204] ** ** [ 2.587680] ** WRITEABLE clk DebugFS SUPPORT HAS BEEN ENABLED IN THIS KERNEL ** [ 2.595150] ** ** [ 2.602619] ** This means that this kernel is built to expose clk operations ** [ 2.610105] ** such as parent or rate setting, enabling, disabling, etc. ** [ 2.617589] ** to userspace, which may compromise security on your system. ** [ 2.625091] ** ** [ 2.632561] ** If you see this message and you are not debugging the ** [ 2.640030] ** kernel, report this immediately to your vendor! ** [ 2.647498] ** ** [ 2.654967] ** NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE ** [ 2.662433] ******************************************************************** [ 2.669998] random: fast init done I try to address that in upcoming merge, TODO tracking Complains about: [FAILED] Failed to listen on systemd-networβ¦t - Network Service Netlink Socket. TODO: Track this The flashing is not implemented and needs to be done manually as i and the riscv community ware unable to find any documentation or data on how to make it bootable through the sdcard, needs to be flashed through fastboot: Hold the BOOT button and connect the USB-C cable to your system Verify that the Android Downloader shows up in # dmesg Verify that fastboot can see the device with # fastboot devices Invoke: # fastboot flash rom ./path/to/uboot/binary # Flash the binary in the tempfs so that we can flash it # fastboot reboot # Reboot the device to the binary # fastboot flash uboot ./path/to/uboot/binary # Flash the uboot on the board # fastboot flash root ./path/to/rootfs.tar # Flash the rootfs Remove the USB-C and try to boot the device, you should be greeted with armbian Issues were observed with serial console in picocom as it starts to print data that are not sensible, to fix this use C-a C-x to close picocom and reopen it again, repeat until it works I tried to adjust the coding style to the armbian standard where possible riscv64 include was added with stuff that should always be included thead family adjusted to provide generic configuration for the family of chips Jira reference number: Ehwww jira How Has This Been Tested? Through pain, suffering and lack of sleep by trying to boot the SD Card and flashing the fastboot and then testing the features Bluetooth has not been tested Checklist: [X] My code follows the style guidelines of this project [X] I have performed a self-review of my own code [X] I have commented my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas [X] I have made corresponding changes to the documentation Made where possible, i try to work on the documentation separatedly [X] My changes generate no new warnings Beyond the one mentioned [X] Any dependent changes have been merged and published in downstream modules View the full article
