QuaxEros Posted January 19 Posted January 19 (edited) Hi gals & guys, Came over to this forum from the OPI forums which seem.. rather low on real-user activity. I am quite new to the SBC Arm64 platform and have many questions. I am an experienced sysadmin on x86/amd64 and still figuring out the differences. I bought a Orange Pi 5 Plus 32G of RAM and i am running of the 256G emmc. I am able to run different OS's (OPI-Ubuntu, OPI-debian, plain Ubuntu and Armbian). As i intend to use the board as server i didn't look into Android and the like.. My plan is running (OMV) from the emmc and attaching ZFS storage by means of a nvme-to-sata adapter and providing iscsi storage from there to my home-lab with my VM's and containers + shared storage and backup. Teamed NIC's for the network, for later. With that out of the way, here is my question... My OPI5plus is running fine from emmc and i am able to handle most normal issues. My main problem is that i cannot get my storage or even my nvme-to-sata adapter detected. I don't really know how to go about it and how to use overlays to configure my system. Beside the fact that the OPI5plus has no native sata and only 1 sata2 overlay, i have a basic lack of understanding of the overlay concept, i guess. I've seen very little information online on "OPI5plus NAS/SATA" and was wondering if someone here could help me out ? Config: Armbian_Bookworm_legacy 5.10.160 on Emmc rkspi_loader.img flashed, else no boot. Tried: rkspi_loader_sata.img for OPI5pro, but then no boot overlay rk3588_sata2, but then no NIC's My nvme-to-sata adapter is an M.2 nvme pcie3 to 6 port sata3.0 with ASM1166 chipset. At boot time the leds on it flicker, then go out. In lspci there is no mention of it neither in lshw (not even as unclaimed or unidentified device) in dmesg there is: rk-pcie fe170000.pcie: PCIe Link Up rk-pcie fe180000.pcie: PCIe Link Up rk-pcie fe190000.pcie: PCIe Link Up (Are these the pcie bridges or the lan & wlan NIC's ?) rk-pcie fe150000.pcie: PCIe Link Failed (But i can't decrypt why) armbianmonitor: https://paste.armbian.com/ovicanekan Thanx for all your work helping others! Hope i can join you soon.. Edited January 19 by Bidon Add details confiig & correct error 0 Quote
Solution Marco Schirrmeister Posted January 19 Solution Posted January 19 I have no idea what this rk3588-sata2 overlay is supposed to do. But I don't think you need it. For you adapter, I guess you have one of this M.2 to sata adapters like this? https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0B6RQHY4F I am pretty sure I tried to use this adapter directly some time ago and it was visible too. But that was the classic Orange Pi 5. In lspci, you should see something like this. 05:00.0 SATA controller: ASMedia Technology Inc. ASM1166 Serial ATA Controller (rev 02) Try to load the edge kernel 6.7 image. That one has received a lot of hardware support for the rk3588. All what it needs is the ahci driver. I do something similar on my OPi5+. I have a M.2 to PCIe riser card. In there is a pcie switch card with a ASM2812 chip. This card has 2 M.2 slots. In there are M.2 to SATA3 adapters with an ASM1166 chip (each 6 ports). 0 Quote
QuaxEros Posted January 20 Author Posted January 20 (edited) It is the adapter from the link, not sure about it's version. The OPI5 has onboard sata so i'm sure there's support out of the box. ### lspci: 0002:20:00.0 PCI bridge: Rockchip Electronics Co., Ltd RK3588 (rev 01) 0002:21:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

RTL8125 2.5GbE Controller (rev 05) No ahci listed in lsmod. First i'll look if the module is present and if it will load. Then i'll go try the edge kernel (on my 2nd emmc 😜), see how it works out.. Q: Can flashing a different rkspi_loader.img (from Joshua Riek) have positive result or should i stick to the image from the distro? Q; Will booting from SD instead of emmc show me different targets (like sata) in armbian-install? Edited January 20 by QuaxEros Add questions 0 Quote
ArmBoy1988 Posted January 20 Posted January 20 I don't think the OPi5 has onboard sata. I think there may be an overlay for sata, though. In any case, on my OPi5, I'm running off a 1TB NVME. I'm running with 8 external data drives off a USB 3 hub. I've set up OMV on Armbian Bullseye server version. Running fine. FYI, I don't believe there is an Armbian Bullseye version for the OPi5 Plus. Not sure if you can build that yourself, but you may have to. OMV 6, the current version, requires Debian Bullseye. There is a beta version of OMV7, that could work for you. Some OMV devs have indicated that OMV 7 is just as stable as OMV6. Check the openmediavault forums for details. 0 Quote

Marco Schirrmeister Posted January 20 Posted January 20 (edited) I took my OPi5+ apart and inserted the M.2 to SATA to see how it goes with the edge 6.7 image. Works just fine. See below. I did not do anything special, since PCIe3 support is there. It should work with the 5.10 kernel too. If it does not get recognized for you, maybe the adapter is dead. Try it in another system.

QuaxEros Posted January 21 Author Posted January 21 In the post #3 I posted my ENTIRE lspci with Jammy_legacy After installing Jammy_edge (with quite some trouble) on emmc, initially no boot. Had to wipe and reflash (using RKDevTool) multiple times both SPI and EMMC Debug shows: Net: No ethernet found. and hangs at: Starting kernel ... Then flashed rkspi_loader.img to SPINOR. The board booted and i got one extra PCI bridge.. # lspci 0000:00:00.0 PCI bridge: Rockchip Electronics Co., Ltd Device 3588 (rev 01) 0002:20:00.0 PCI bridge: Rockchip Electronics Co., Ltd Device 3588 (rev 01) 0002:21:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

It's a nice place to come to, Much obliged!! I had problems on legacy kernel to get zfs.ko module created, Something with the linux-headers didn't seem right. Gonna play and see if it works better on edge... I had already tried installing OMV 7 and got it kind of working, gonna try that after zfs. I hope the 32G will be ample for zfs, but i've seen it eating all up. Well guys, THNX a lot! I can play on.. 0 Quote
Marco Schirrmeister Posted January 21 Posted January 21 (edited) Still pay attention on how things behave, since all the rk3588 code in 6.x is new. I for example still experience some strange behaviour on the OPi5+ with latest edge kernels, where irq / rtc-hym8563 process uses constantly around 10% cpu. I have not tried to look into it yet, but it is for sure not normal that IRQs are used nonstop like crazy. Edited January 21 by Marco Schirrmeister formatting 0 Quote
QuaxEros Posted February 4 Author Posted February 4 Hi, After the success with the 6xSATA board on Bookworm/Jammy edge and a stable system without your irq issue i wanted to push forward and have it run ZFS, iSCSI targets and OMV7. Did bad research because OMV does neither. Had fun though compiling ZFS for 6.7.x, trying different combos with Debian/Ubuntu. In the end finished this adventure with another weird purpose for my 6 disk Zpool and wrote a bit about the experience in another thread. If you wanna read it, it's here Thanx for your help and C U ! 0 Quote
Marco Schirrmeister Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Which image did you use, that you do not see the hym8563 irq issue on your OPI5+? Would like to try that exact image. 0 Quote
