worked im for Banana Pi M3

First, you need to check how the changes will work for different users, and then we will think about how to make universal changes.

@Gunjan Gupta I apologize. The machine translator wrote changing the meaning.

It should be tested by someone who has these boards. First of all, it's me.

I was only talking about this patch - patch/u-boot/u-boot-sunxi/board_bananapim3/adjust-default-dram-clockspeeds.patch

Yes.

3 часа назад, Gunjan Gupta сказал:

I hope you are not suggesting to change for every other board as well.

I'm not suggesting anything. I'm just thinking. I will not make the decisions to do this or that.

My thoughts on the code:

function post_config_uboot_target__extra_configs_for_bananapipro() {
	display_alert "$BOARD" "set dram clock" "info"
	run_host_command_logged scripts/config --set-val CONFIG_DRAM_CLK "384"
}

I didn't see the difference in the names bananapipro and bananapim3.

I'm sorry, the glasses are on my nose.

But that doesn't change the point. The user will only see the message:

bananapipro set dram clock

What if he added his own custom patch? Does the build system allow the user to add patches today?

Maybe give the user the opportunity to set the value of this variable? For example:

UBOOT_CONFIG_DRAM_CLK="${UBOOT_CONFIG_DRAM_CLK:-384}"

function post_config_uboot_target__extra_configs_for_bananapipro() {
	display_alert "$BOARD" "set dram clock to $UBOOT_CONFIG_DRAM_CLK" "info"
	run_host_command_logged scripts/config --set-val CONFIG_DRAM_CLK "$UBOOT_CONFIG_DRAM_CLK"
}

Please don't listen to my grumbling, but do as you see fit.

Yeah response was based on me being confused from the overall message. I hope there is not hard feeling over it either

Yes patching is still there. The context behind moving that from out of the patch to the hook is actually pretty simple. In the last 7 months, I have done quite a few number of u-boot bumps and most commonly broken patches are that of defconfig files. So I decided to move the broken defconfig patches to board config file utilising the hook system in order to avoid wasting time on fixing defconfig patches in the future. The same was explained in the PR that contained the change as well. Plan was to migrate them as they gets broken.

Feedback are always welcome. But even when changing this value, user will either have to build uboot deb, install the same and then update bootloader from armbian config or create a new image. If the user is willing to do all that, I guess it will not be too hard to change value in a text file. After all if we make it configurable that had to be documented somewhere and documentation is already too far behind. And I am not sure how many people read documentation. I personally prefer code to documentation, most of people I know do the same too. But it can probably be a cultural thing

@Tu Hu @AaronNGray I tested this image on my board:

Armbian_23.10_Bananapim3_bookworm_edge_6.4.16_minimal.img

Please confirm that the OS is loaded and working properly.
If you have problems downloading, please the output in the UART console and post it here.

People read the documentation. When they don't find something in it or.... they look at the code.
You and I are among the latter.
Unfortunately, it's hard for me to read the source code today.

I became inattentive due to the deterioration of my eyesight.

If you want to know my opinion, we can communicate in a personal conversation on the site.

I wonder if these issues are related -

Gunjan Gupta · January 31

@Tu Hu Does thing works correctly if you boot without ethernet pluged into it?

@Gunjan Guptafirst boot with ethernet, works☺️, but run upgrade... dad 😩(log8), new booted.... (log9😩)

Almost all of these little rafts won't work without the internet.

The reason is the lack of a watch with a battery.

The OS finds itself in the past and thinks that the file system is corrupted because the timestamps of the files are from the future.

which can be easily fixed by running date command.

Anyways, does it breaks for you if you plugin ethernet. Were you using it with or without ethernet?

I guess those logs are for @going. I really can't do anything about 23.10 image that going is sharing, That is an Armbian fork and not Armbian itself.

All my boards are connected by cable to an Ethernet switch. And it is connected to the router accordingly

The switch is old and it is 10mbit slow. I did not perform a health check at a speed of 1 Gbit.

Hmm, 10 base-t and 100 base-tx only uses 4 of the 8 ethernet pins, while a 1000 base-tx will use all 8 pins I wonder if the extra 4 pins causes the issue

Maybe yes, maybe not if there are smart devices on both ends. I have all the cables full. The device itself decides how many lines to use.

dwmac-sun8i 1c30000.ethernet end0: Link is Up - 100Mbps/Full - flow control rx/tx

There is an inscription on the switch: 10/100 Fast Ethernet switch

Hi @going @Gunjan Gupta, I have five boards from three separate purchases, I have access to 4 of these boards presently. If there is anyway we can identify these boards visually it would be great, although all my boards do seem consistent and have worked with most said to be working images over the last 5 or more years apart from recently.

I can put up all the working images I have ever used if that would be helpful.

I am up for tests, but would also appreciate detailed instructions on how to build a distro, as I cannot seem to get anything that works using Armbian/build.

Also there are issues with the logs, they change Debian 12 Bookworm I believe to journalctl based binary log files. It would be good to have a list of relevant log files to post, if theres something that explains this it would be useful.

@going What are you using to gauge system responsiveness ?

Armbian_23.10_Bananapim3_bookworm_edge_6.4.10_minimal has been up for 48 hours after being updated, and upgraded, and software reset.

Armbian_23.10_Bananapim3_bookworm_edge_6.4.16_minimal boots fine, updates, upgrades fine, software reboot is fine.

BTW I have never had any issues with Ethernet on the BananaPi M3.

As far as I know, the default system cross compiler is used today.
Try using the key SKIP_EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAINS=no

What is the difference? You can check it out:

${prefix}-gcc -v

In this particular case, it's my human eye and pressing the mouse button.
If the eye has noticed the difference, it is already significant.

Switching the processor frequency with increasing load (when a resource-intensive process is started) is faster.

I am not sure what issues you are having when trying to build. Could you please share the logs?

I personally am building on MBP 2019. All that is needed is to have docker installed. The build system will make use of it if its available. Then just run ./compile.sh it will present you with the available options. Also check this video explaining the process -

Thank you, you two, I will try tomorrow now as its a bit late here. Will also check out the 1Gb/s switch tomorrow now too.

@going I am getting "Too slow Downloading speed" repeatedly aborting when very nearly downloaded.

I put it up as an issue against your repo :- https://github.com/The-going/armbian-build/issues/21

Anyway I have a working build now and can reproduce your work at this end which is very good news ! Thank you !

When the maintainer regularly updates the kernel configuration file in the source repository,

you can rely on the correctness of this file. Unfortunately, I did not do this.
Until now, this repository was only my personal one and I didn't need to follow some rules to publish.

My pbs-master branch was created from the master branch, which is now abandoned and not being developed.

I just continued to develop it and added 118 commits on top.

There are no mistakes in this. This download script sets up the carl program to be very chatty.

Just checking in if we reached a conclusion. Do we have a root cause? Are we concluding that the issue was due to DRAM_CLK patch?

dd5xl · February 9

I've finally managed to fix my (rather old) M3 by building a new U-Boot V2024.01 and modifying BananapiM3-defconfig by:

CONFIG_AXP_DCDC2_VOLT=1000 # (VDD CPUA, was: 900)
CONFIG_AXP_DCDC3_VOLT=1000 # (VDD CPUB, was: 900)
CONFIG_AXP_DCDC5_VOLT=1400 # (VCC_DDRAM, was: 1200)

This increases the voltage for LPDDRAM by 200mV and CPU cores by 100mV each.
I'm now able to build C++ projects even with -j8, where BPiM3 crashed immediately before.

Also, armbianmonitor -z now works and shows its final statistics:

It seems that the reason is the lack of Internet access.
