I installed Armbian 4.5 Debian Jessie 3.4.109 and added XFCE desktop, but there is no audio on 3.5 jack (I cannot test HDMI audio output). I built my own Debian Jessie 3.4.109 selecting Banana Pro and including XFCE desktop without any other change, and also in this case there is no audio on 3.5 jack.

Some useful information to solve the problem. These are equals on both installation.

SinoVoip produced a different version called "M1Plus" (BPi-M1+) as a Banana Pro rip-off sharing exactly the same hardware specs and almost the same position of onboard connectors. Main difference: SoC, DRAM and PMU are on the upper side of the PCB whereas on the lower on Banana Pro. Featurewise both boards are nearly identical and fex/dts files can be interchanged directly, with one small exception: according to LeMaker's and Sinovoip's fex files, [audio_pa_ctrl] differs: PH26 on M1+ and PH15 on Banana Pro.

 

There is no special M1+ config, so you need to alter script.bin ... and you will get a sound.

Posted

Ok, I'll try. If I'm not mistaken, I have to convert bananapro.bin to fex (script.bin is a link to bananapro.bin), modify it and then convert it again to bin format again.

 

I'm using my own built image following the instruction found here

https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/second/README.md

The image is a Debian Jessie with kernel 3.4.109, bananapro as hadware and with XFCE desktop.

Is there something I can change in the build process to have this change already built in the created image with compile.sh script?

Posted

Yes, that's correct.

 

When you will have / find a working script.bin simply add (with some obvious name) it's source (fex) to lib/config or attach it here and I'll add this to build by default.

Posted

From my understanding, all that needs to be done for an M1+ is to fex to text the .bin file, make a change to the pin numbers and then text to fex it back again?

 

Audio out via 3.5mm is a must for me with my current project.

Posted

I don't know what happened, but the change of script.bin didn't resolve the problem. So I decided to build the image again, and now I can hear audio from 3.5 jack playing video with both default script.bin (with PH15) and modified script.bin (with PH26). This means that hardware and audio codec are ok, but I cannot hear audio seeing video on youtube with Iceweasel, and the video stutters. But this is another film.

 

Thanks.

 

P.S. I think there is no need to add another configuration for BPI M1+.

Posted

According to Banana Pi M1+ and Banana Pro schematics:

  • PH26 on M1+ is not connected to anything  :)
  • PH15 on Pro is connected to wireless module power pin (WIFI_HOST_WAKE)

So I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter (I guess this option is to enable/disable external power amplifier, which none of these devices have).

Banana Pi M1+

 

Using legacy Debian jessie, I've got script.bin linking to bananapro,bin and I've got audio from the 3.5mm jack, but it's overlaid with a regular clicking noise every second.

 

From what I can gather, it's because audio and video are both output through the 3.5mm jack and using a standard audio TRS plug causes a short between the video and ground, but what type of TRRS cable is needed to fix it I wonder?

I remembered this thread about disabling the onboard audio, but the tools have disappeared during the upgrade

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root       82 Dec 28 18:52 fex2bin -> /root/output/debs/jessie/linux-jessie-root-bananapi_4.81_armhf/usr/sbin/sunxi-fexc

It would appear that it's now necessary to install sunxi-tools

Hi.

Can anybody explain this to me?

I have just installed OpenMediaVault which is Armbian based. Did all upgrades and now I'm using 4.11.5-sunxi.

My cat, are just the same as matteobps. but...

cat /proc/asound/timers
