【Orange Pi Zero 3】Is the content of the error or warning output by the kernel of a serious nature?

Is part of the content merely informative? Should some of the parameters be corrected?

 

for example: default_syscon_value = 58000, should it be changed to 0?

Armbian does not provide images for this board nor does it support it (yet). The OS you are using comes from a 3rd party. So I suggest to ask for support where you got the image from.

After a few days of trying to get rid of these annoyances by modifying the kernel source code as well as the device tree, I've finally gotten rid of them, and now there are only a few inconsequential warnings

dtbs fixed!

Usually provide a difference file.
Please, if you want to share the results of your work, make a set of patches as the output of the "git format-patch" command.

Or a more time-consuming but faster way to make a pull request directly to the project on github.

@going Since I didn't find an actively maintained kernel branch (for orangepizero3), I would have done this otherwise.

hi, just like to join this discussion in a 'development' sense

it seemed there are some works in the head Linux v6.5-rc1

https://groups.google.com/g/linux-sunxi/c/p64EM9m9inY

https://linux-sunxi.org/Xunlong_Orange_Pi_Zero3

https://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort

 

they seemed to be continued works on H616 mainlining efforts, but that those are working on H618 e.g. Orange Pi zero 3 etc

it could be good to look at the head revisions e.g. v6.5 when we 'backport' codes into e.g. v6.1.31 that is used with armbian.

that could save a lot of rework if at some point we (armbian) decide to move on and use a new kernel e.g. v6.5

and accordingly, i read a post that say things like the wifi drivers as different vendors tried to implement their own drivers, it creates a 'problem' for the mainlining efforts to attempt to reconcile 2 different versions of the 'same driver'.  Hence, it may be good to look at head revisions e.g. v6.5 while 'porting' them back into v6.1.31. it would likely allow us to have 1 version of drivers e.g. from mainline that possibly works on different boards using the same wifi chips etc.

I'd just like to put a note that for wifi, even the propietary drivers seemed 'unstable', I'm not sure if it is just the drivers itself or something else

@lalakii is In Armbian for chips, allwinner uses only a branch with kernel.org . There is no special branch for a separate chip.

 

There is a series of patches that were taken from different places or made by different users and added to the series file.

The binary files that you kindly provided are useless for the build system.
Links to download from Google drive are also not useful.
All you need is to apply a series of patches to the corresponding kernel branch as a "git am" command.
Then make your comments on top with explanations and an indication of the author. Then extract these last commits using a script.

cp armbian/build/tools/mk_format_patch $USER/bin; chmod +x $USER/bin
mkdir -p $USER/tmpwork/patches.armbian
cd /path/to/linux-stable
mk_format_patch . HEAD~7..HEAD $USER/tmpwork/patches.armbian

I think that you have guessed where they need to be placed, make a commit in the build system itself and make a pull request.

@ag123 I am going to try 6.6-rc2😀

[gerasalus]

@lalakii is any updates on this one?
