The build script will automatically update and pull the changes from github before the menu comes up. Simply run ./compile.sh

 

Edit: Nope....mainline kernel is still an issue

I just tried to build a full bionic image, but it exits complaining about i2c:

Good catch ! On my side, even if compile failed almost the same way, since it was building successfully on Sept 7h, I still have the resulting binary in build/sun50i_h6/debug/bl31.bin, so it continued silently to build u-boot ...

@Igor , @Icenowy , maybe some additionnal glue ;) is missing here since this commit : https://github.com/Icenowy/arm-trusted-firmware/commit/5686b2eca292c9e96c1f18c5b81848053a782ed2

You can drop my branch now and use ARM-Software upstream, the power down function is already merged.

Ok, new image is up and running:

 

AP6255 Wifi works, however somewhat flaky. Ping times are normal for Wifi, but when I type it takes some time to show the characters.

 

USB3 Ethernet is not being recognized in dmesg nor does it show up in lsusb

 

USB Wifi can scan, however it does not let me connect, complaining about a wrong WPA2 Password.

 

 

update:

just switched to the nightly built via armbian-config. Update to 4.18.11 went successful

USB Wifi works now, USB3 Ethernet still not recognized

I have tested the image https://dl.armbian.com/orangepilite2/nightly/Armbian_5.61.180929_Orangepilite2_Ubuntu_bionic_dev_4.18.11.7z

 

the WiFi-AP6255(5G) works well, but the iperf3 test result is not very good, and the ftp speed is the same as  the iperf3 bench.

the ftp speed never reaches 10MB/s, while the stock image can run up to 20MB/s (5G, link speed is 433mbps).

----------------------------------

and the USB3.0 port does not work , even in usb2.0 mode( the stock image works in usb2.0 mode)

it can't see any devices.

-----------------

and also "reboot" command does not work properly， it does poweroff but don't perform a reset

I have to reconnect the powercable

Just in case anyone cares:

Turning off power save by  iw dev wlan0 set power_save off   is not permanent. It is enabled again after a reboot.

So, to permanently disable powersave for wifi, I did the following:

 

1.  modify /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf

  

[connection]
# Values are 0 (use default), 1 (ignore/don't touch), 2 (disable) or 3 (enable).
wifi.powersave = 2

2. created a new udev-rule: /etc/udev/rules.d/10-ap6255-wifi.rules 

KERNEL=="wlan*", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 power off"

Since Wifi is working fine now, I tried installing bluetooth.

There are two scripts in /etc/init.d: ap6212-bluetooth and brcm40183-patch

but I am not sure if they are relevant for the lite2?!

 

What is the correct bluetooth firmware for the lite2?

 

I also tried to load the firmware file BCM4345C0.hcd according to https://forum.khadas.com/t/add-bluetooth-support-for-ubuntu/593

but without success.
