sevi_at Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Hy, I miss a few options in the kernel current kernel: ARMBIAN 5.36 user-built Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 4.4.102-rockchip Thinkerboard I still need: 1) - disable HDMI audio so that it will no longer be displayed as a sound card under "aplay -l" deactivate "card 3: rockchipminiarm" same as with the image kernel update of Igor root@se:~# aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Audio [USB Audio], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Audio [USB Audio], device 1: USB Audio [USB Audio #1] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Audio [USB Audio], device 2: USB Audio [USB Audio #2] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: CODEC [USB Audio CODEC], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 2: CODEC_1 [USB AUDIO CODEC], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 3: rockchipminiarm [rockchip,miniarm-codec], device 0: ff890000.i2s-i2s-hif i i2s-hifi-0 [] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 root@se:~# 2) options in ALSA -> Dummy (/dev/null) soundcard -> Generic loopback driver (PCM) 3) cifs-utils so I can access data from my NAS. Editing a kernel is new territory for me. I have already read a bit here http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1647051&seqNum=5 but somehow I can not apply the whole thing to the armian image. I ask for help. THX

I believe this "disable HDMI audio" was more by accident, a random regression. I did not deliberately do this. 2. https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/76b1afd4f016a310372f5806edd52c7b9acac134 3. apt install cifs-utils We made things much easier as they were but still, there is a lot of hardcore stuff left. But recompiling kernel, adjusting its config and/or small code change should be simple with https://github.com/armbian/build. Play with.
sevi_at Posted January 31, 2018 Author Posted January 31, 2018 Hy Igor, THX for your helb but i have a Tinkerboard current kernel: ARMBIAN 5.36 user-built Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 4.4.102-rockchip this build https://github.com/armbian/build. is only for x64 root@piotre:~/build# ./compile.sh [ o.k. ] Using config file [ config-default.conf ] [ o.k. ] This script will try to update Already up-to-date.

Many THX
TonyMac32 Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 The build system is only targeted to run on x64. This simplifies the load of so few supporting so much.
sevi_at Posted February 1, 2018 Author Posted February 1, 2018 hy TonyMac32, you mean I should run on an external computer with x64? how do i get the newly created build from my x64 then on my thinkerboard? thx in the config file under /root/config-4.4.102-rockchip there is an entry CONFIG_DRM_DW_HDMI_I2S_AUDIO = y CONFIG_SND_SOC_HDMI_CODEC = y I wanted to comment out and recompile it. is possible? if so, how is the command in the console that the files under dtb-4.4.102-rockchip be recreated. ?
TonyMac32 Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 the build system packages the kernel/headers/dtb as debian packages, they can be installed that way
sevi_at Posted February 1, 2018 Author Posted February 1, 2018 okay THX is there an instruction how to do that? Kernel Compiling is new territory for me. I've been reading a lot and I'm not getting anywhere. is there a howdo special for the thinkerboard? what should I enter in the command line so that all required files are generated?
sevi_at Posted February 1, 2018 Author Posted February 1, 2018 hy, now i start the ./compile.sh script in my VMware with Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 x64 run. the menu opens, I enter: "u-boot and kernel packages" "show a Kernel conf......." I choose "thinkerboard" and then "default" or "next" or "dev" it does not matter what I choose it comes then always the message: [ o.k. ] Downloading sources [ o.k. ] Checking git sources [ u-boot v2017.09 ] fatal: read error: Connection reset by peer fatal: read error: Connection reset by peer [ .... ] Fetching updates fatal: read error: Connection reset by peer [ .... ] Checking out error: pathspec 'FETCH_HEAD' did not match any file(s) known to git.

TonyMac32 Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 I think there are some server issues on the git repo, I experienced the same thing last night trying to check the sources for u-boot. Also, for general instructions, docs.armbian.com
sevi_at Posted February 14, 2018 Author Posted February 14, 2018 hy, I have already created some kernel versions with this tool: https://github.com/armbian/build However, I have big problems with the audio latency of different kernel versions. Look at this post: the only kernel that worked from the beginning is "ARMBIAN 5.31 stable Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 4.4.73-rockchip" 1) I would now continue to use these but I have to make some adjustments. Then I want to recompile this kernel. is it possible to recompile the .confiog file (see attachment)? 2) With the GIT Reop, I can only make changes to the new kernel versions is that correct? Many THX .config

Yes, but usually this is better in first place and problems usually not related. We are about to change kernel for Rockchip boards to the one used by TinkerOS. It looks like it is generally in a better condition than the one we use now. Will this effect on audio or RT functionality? Probably. Changes are already applied to the build script, while images and update are just about to be released. Since you are able to build on your own, try recompiling the kernel with your own config and with most recent RT patch for 4.4.115 You can recompile the kernel with your own config - just put it into userpatches directory and use the same name as we do (linux-rockchip-default.config)

My approach was like this: I copied the patch to -> build/userpatches/kernel/rockchip-next/ then I started ./compile.sh and chose in the selection dialog with the blue background? next (Kernel) however, many error messages followed the compilation will be aborted. in which folder do I have to copy the most recent RT patch for 4.4.115 ? and which files do I need here anyway? which image should I select in the selection dialog with the blue background? default or next or dev Unfortunately, I can not find the file "linux-rockchip-default.config" in the userpatches directory.

Igor Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 5 hours ago, sevi_at said: build/userpatches/kernel/rockchip-next/ This is a place for modern 4.14.y kernel user patches. For that, you need a different patch: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.14/patch-4.14.18-rt15.patch.gz ... remember to decompress. 5 hours ago, sevi_at said: Unfortunately, I can not find the file "linux-rockchip-default.config" in the userpatches directory. This is the place where you put your own if you want, othewise just use stock. In any case, it will be changed since you are adding an RT patch. Play, try, read manual, ... in any case, remember you are on your own. This is 3rd party development, unrelated to Armbian.
sevi_at Posted February 21, 2018 Author Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) I have already played around a lot wirh https://github.com/armbian/build and unfortunately i have still the audio problem. my problem: crackling and bad sound with this command: (Play my line-in a USB sound card to the same output of this USB sound card) arecord -f S16_LE -c2 -r44100 -d 0 -D plug:dsnoop01 | aplay -B 1 -D plug:LineIn01 Look also this Post: I do not have the problem with this Armbian Image: 4.4.112-rockchip 4.4.73-rockchip with these kernel/image I have the problem: TinkerOS: 4.4.71+ (latest) Volumio: (latest image ... do not remember exactly ...) Armbian: 4.13.10-rt3-rockchip, 4.14.18, 4.14.15, customize 4.14.14, latest /default/next/dev, (I did not take all the notes but it was at least 10 images) I have now found out that the Alsa plugin dsnoop makes problems. even if I have the same version of Alsa from the working kernels (see above) root@innotune:~# aplay --version aplay: version 1.1.0 by Jaroslav Kysela <perex@perex.cz> With this command I have an excellent recording even with the non-functioning images (see above): arecord -f S16_LE -c2 -r44100 -d 0 -D plug:hw1,0 -t wav /root/test101.wav Now your expertise is needed because I do not know any further: which settings on the kernel caused this problem? or is the problem with alsa? do you have a tip what I can still try? Many THX EDIT: problem synonymous with pulseaudio - crackling and bad sound with this command: pacat -r --latency-msec=1 -d alsa_input.usb-Burr-Brown_from_TI_USB_Audio_CODEC-00.analog-stereo | pacat -p --latency-msec=1 -d alsa_output.usb-Burr-Brown_from_TI_USB_Audio_CODEC-00.analog-stereo Edited February 21, 2018 by sevi_at problem synonymous with pulseaudio
TonyMac32 Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 The USB ports are through a hub, what else is plugged into USB? Also, what cpu governor are you using? I'm afraid my knowledge of the internal working of pulseaudio is non-existent, hopefully someone else reading this will be of benefit.

Well, whole kernel tree was changed so its hard to provide a complete changelog. In any case, we didn't plan to write any scientific documents about this, only a brief what works now and what still needs fixes. In general. The kernel has too many functions to be checked by 1-2 (amateur) person. Audio/alsa/RT functionality of the kernel is not our core business and we don't know much about. You are on your own here. If you have troubles with building kernel, check manual once again and if you can't proceed, append a question in https://forum.armbian.com/forum/20-development/

Which kernel topics are treated with the Armbian version? Does the Armbian version number say a kernel basic configuration? or what is being treated here? I'm just at the exclude which modification has caused the problem. possible plausible points for me: 1) Armbian Version 2) Kernel Version; Kernel configuration 3) ALSA - Version (ALSA configuration is always the same) 4) Ubuntu Version THX
Igor Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 1. Armbian version is tied to our build script and to get idea and information when a certain package was built. Sources are mostly elsewhere. 2. Kernel version depends ... it is tied to armbian version - when it was built. The same goes with kernel configs: https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/master/config/kernel You can see this in the release documentation and here https://github.com/armbian/build/releases (not very updated) We don't do this for development versions. They are as is. 3. ALSA is tied to userspace, Ubuntu or Debian. If you go with Jessie, it's Jessie latest, Ubuntu latest, ... we don't touch ALSA 4. Also Upstream. We always use latest upstream distribution packages with those exceptions - we use patched or more recent versions: https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/master/packages/extras-buildpkgs I hope this helps you somehow. I know it's not the best way but this way is manageable.
