Nickb333 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I've had success with Armbian runing on Orange Pi One and pcDuino2. I'm using the legacy kernels on these boards.Today I've got a pcDuino3B - similar to pcDuino3 except it has GB ethernet from the pcDuino3 nano.I tried legacy kernels for both the 3 and the 3 nano. I see high cpu load ~35% from one of the kworker processes. Then I tried the mainline kernels from the 3 and the 3 nano. No cpu load problems but the GbE does not appear to be configured in the 3 image. 3 nano works on both ethernet and wifi so I'm wondering whether to stick with this one and see if there are any other differences.I don't have a build environment set up and no experience with kernel debugging. I'd like to try and resolve the high cpu issue with the legacy kernel so what should I look for or is there any info I can post here that might help point me in the right direction?Thanks, Nick.

Nickb333 Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Added armbianmonitor -m for the pcDuino3B running pcDuino3-nano mainline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Try to boot mainline kernel with adding: fdtfile=sun7i-a20-pcduino3.dtb to /boot/armbianEnv.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickb333 Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 Thanks for youre reply. Try to boot mainline kernel with adding: fdtfile=sun7i-a20-pcduino3.dtb to /boot/armbianEnv.txt Added. That breaks the GbE - armbianmonotor -u output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
