Orange Pi RV2

[sven-ola]

Hello @JamesCL! The current image from https://privat-in.de/ should work. I will upload new images any minute now. However: if you only need Ethernet, Orange Pi R2S [1] is a better choice probably, b/c you got extra 2 times 2.5 gbit with that...

Typo. Mention Ethernet IFs

Already got answer from upstream programmer❣️ That kernel thread in RPMSG was removed due to excessive CPU usage. I got the impression that this is true: edge:desktop is nearly un-usable. Also they say: there is kernel 6.19 from upstream/upstream in the make. For now, I'm reverting HDMI audio (and all other rCPU funcs) for edge.

Hi @sven-ola  I downloaded this version, "Armbian-unofficial_26.02.0-trunk_Orangepirv2_trixie_current_6.6.99_minimal.img", and it's working on an SD card without problems... Is it possible for the OPI RV2 to boot from the eMMC with this image? Thanks.

Hello @sven-ola! Yesterday, everything built fine for me using your git orangepi-rv2 branch with the EDGE kernel. After making the changes,

  Today, when applying the latest fixes I got an error while compiling the image. I used this build config

Do I need to clear all previous build data? Or how can I fix this error? Thank you.

Hello @JamesCL! I got the same error. You need to select at least one desktop package - error shows up with empty DESKTOP_APPGROUPS_SELECTED= 

 

Hello @Malay: That was on my todo list. I grabbed an eMMC from an old Odroid. It tried to boot if inserted. Thus boot sequence is: SD/TF, then eMMC, then MTD. So I booted with SD. eMMC showed up in /dev/mmcblk2. I started armbian-install, selected "Install on eMMC". Now it tries to boot that old Odroid image. So boot0, uboot, and SBI are there. Should work if you copy an image to /dev/mmcblk2.

 

@All others: if that kernel thread for realtime-CPU (and HDMI audio) is active, the board always reports a load=2.0 or higher. This does not cause a very un-responsive Wayland-Gnome3-Desktop, this has other causes. Anyhow, this desires more investigation, since running a polling process to grab data from a realtime CPU does not sound right, there has to be an Interrupt or so, so I may again revert the reverted reversion (of the RPMSG kthread). Also I learned, that the Fedora project has an even larger esos.elf (rCPU firmware). I am curious what additional stuff may be in there 🤔

In the meantime, I fixed internal audio for "edge" (was: missing headphone GPIO). And also investigated around the esos.elf RTOS firmware. There's a license for that, which I added to my tree. The license basically says: use but do not infect with GPL: https://gitee.com/spacemit-buildroot/buildroot-ext/blob/k1-bl-v2.2.y/board/spacemit/k1/target_overlay/lib/firmware/LICENSE.spacemit_esos. Continuing on kthread issue. LG // Sven-Ola

Sven,

I stumbled across this thread last night and have created this account to thank you. After purchasing this board some time ago, it was quite disappointing to discover how lacking software support was.

Again, thank you for your fantastic work so far.
