Repurpose a TV Box Allwinner H313 (similar to H96 Max) to boot secure image

[Sergioclr]

Activity:

1) 159-add-x96-q-lpddr3-v1.3-defconfig.patch has been tested both ways: with original parameters and with suggested (above) parameters;

2) The box boots but I am unable to set  IP addresses, even in wlan0, via Armbian-config (errors reported);

3) So far the best result is from  ~/build/patch/u-boot/u-boot-sunxi/board_x96q/arm64-sun50i-h313-add-x96q-lpddr3-defconfig.patch with the appropriate +CONFIG_SPL_IMAGE_TYPE_SUNXI_TOC0=y

    and secure-boot.patch. Armbian-config works as designed and IP addresses can be set.

 

Ideas: 

describes a similar problem (eth0) 

Suggested action plan: https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/6617/files       [Fix issue #6528 opi-zero2w, ethernet PHY not powered #6617]

 

Problem: I don't know how to implement it and/or if that proposed corrections will tamper with ~/build/patch/u-boot/u-boot-sunxi/board_x96q/sunsi-add-h616-internal-eth-phy-support.patch

 

As usual, suggestions will be welcome 🙂

You don't need patches to edit the kernel config:
config/kernel/linux-sunxi64-legacy.config

 

sicxnull already has this patch, but with a different name:
drv-pwm-sun50i-h616-enhance-pwm.patch
drivers-pwm-Add-pwm-sunxi-enhance-driver-for-h616.patch

 

To add Zero2W Ethernet settings to your DTS, you can create your own patch using git commands:

 

Run ./compile.sh

 

Press Ctrl+C in the middle of the kernel compilation.

 

Navigate to the directory:
cd cache/sources/linux-kernel-worktree/6.6*/

 

Use the following commands:
sudo git status
sudo git add .
sudo git commit -m "dummypatch"

sudo pico arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-h313-x96q-lpddr3.dts
sudo git add .
sudo git commit -m "Fix Ethernet"
sudo git format-patch -1   

 

1 for the first commit (0001-Fix-Ethernet.patch)...  2 for the first and second commit (0002-dummypatch.patch) )

 

The first "add" and "commit" cleans the kernel of previous patches, leaving you with a clean, patched kernel.

 

The format-patch command will create a patch in the root directory of the kernel. Copy it to your patch directory.

 

For original Armbian kernel patches, you must add them to series.armbian and series.conf.
