Yeah, having a serial UART is pretty important for working with this board unless you have one of the VGA breakouts or something where you can see whats going on.  Cause I don't think these images are setup in any way to otherwise be default accessible.  I doubt you will get any feedback on the USB port with the image, however, it may bring up ethernet... can't recall though and if it does, it is likely with a predefined static IP.  You can probably mount the image using a loop device on your local Linux machine and take a look at things inside to get a better idea.

 

Maybe a little later today I can pull it out and play with it and see if I can come up with something better for you.

 

If you really want to motivate me to test it, you are best to come to IRC and bug me about it, lol.  Otherwise I do have a huge list of 'other things' I will probably start working on first.

 

Cheers!

I already did mount the two partitons and did take a look at /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/rc.local, but ethernet doenst came up like I configured.
Something better would be nice.
This week I havent a free head for much more, because since monday I got the flu/grip and tissue's are my best friends these days....butI like small boards and when its not so easy (like on the supported armbian-boards) :)

@guidol Good news and medium good news.

Here is u-boot, kernel and dtb needed to enable eth0 and have it work:

https://licheepizero.us/licheepizero.linux-4.12.with.vga.and.eth0.tar.gz

 

http://prntscr.com/nhuq6f

http://prntscr.com/nhupqd

http://prntscr.com/nhupv3

 

The uboot has vga and eth0 enabled, however, the current versions of the WiFi module that are around do not work with this kernel and while VGA is in the uboot, it isn't active in the kernel in this.

 

If your goal is to boot up and have eth0 up and access, this should work for you.

 

I am going to test building 4.14.y and 4.13.y branch to see if the WiFi driver is incorporated at any point, the github repos are not very specific about whats been updated and my attempts to build the driver seperately have so far failed for the 4.12.y repo I used to generate this.

 

This should at least be enough to get you started.  Once i test a bit more I will upload my .config and provide a link as well.

 

Cheers!

Woohoo :)

YES - its working!

 

BootUp and Ethernet is working and also the TrippleLED (Green/Red/Blue)

 

Static IP wouldnt work in the first place, so I did go back to DHCP and did tell my Router to give a Static-DHCP-IP to the LicheePi-MAC.

 

I did expand the filesystem with a with the following link (which I didnt found in your link-list):
https://github.com/Squonk42/buildroot-licheepi-zero-old/wiki/Fresh-image-–-Expand-the-root-partition-and-filesystem

 

and then I "installed" the 128MB swap with a mix of the instructions you listed under

http://bbs.ilichee.cc/t/tutorial-setup-swap-file-for-zero/56

and the link I did found also in the same (LicheePi builtroot) wiki :

https://github.com/Squonk42/buildroot-licheepi-zero-old/wiki/Fresh-image-–-Expand-the-virtual-memory

I did see that /etc/apt/sources.list does point to debian jessie - so we have to adjust the entrys to get them work, because they did change them - I think - a month ago:

Here is u-boot, kernel and dtb needed to enable eth0 and have it work:

https://licheepizero.us/licheepizero.linux-4.12.with.vga.and.eth0.tar.gz

it seems that I missed to "flash" the new u-boot :(

I did copy it only to /boot, but I did read it has to be flaseh with a 8K offset to the microsd like:

dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/ sdX bs=1024 seek=8

inside you archive was a 400K file named u-boot-sunxi-with-spl-vga.bin

but ethernet did work with the old u-boot from mindb which I flashed initially to my microsd.

 

Is it a safe way to flash it from another linux sbc with

dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl-vga.bin of=/dev/sdb bs=1024 seek=8

or should I leave the old u-boot because Iam not using vga at this time?

Yes, most of the devices are controlled by the DTB file, in fact, I compiled the 'staging' wifi driver and played around with enabling WIFi in the  new DTB.  I actually added the wrong DTB to that tar.gz after all was said and done, like you noticed, sorry about that.  I was kinda rushed when I put that up.  I did compile a few more kernels and was talking to some devs about trying to get some help with getting devices enabled correctly in the DTB.

 

I actually have a DTB that works for enabling vga framebuffer, ethernet and wifi however ends up breaking USB (assuming your powering through pins, you can actually connect a USB device) and the staging driver in 4.12.y is trash and the kernel panics when you inset the WiFi driver.

 

Glad to hear you found a working dtb for your needs, supposedly there were a few in the packages as you noticed with different things enabled.

 

As I get time I will probably compile a few more kernels and work on the DTB and will post back here if I come up with something better. Though glad to hear what I provided gave you a good start!

 

Cheers!

Hi @TheLinuxBug
today I did try to add the soundcard "analog-codec" to the .dtb you gave me for the ethernet-port.

Ethernet-port code is:
 

Spoiler

                ethernet@1c30000 {
                        compatible = "allwinner,sun8i-h3-emac";
                        syscon = <0xb>;
                        reg = <0x1c30000 0x104>;
                        interrupts = <0x0 0x52 0x4>;
                        interrupt-names = "macirq";
                        resets = <0x2 0xc>;
                        reset-names = "stmmaceth";
                        clocks = <0x2 0x1a>;
                        clock-names = "stmmaceth";
                        #address-cells = <0x1>;
                        #size-cells = <0x0>;
                        status = "okay";
                        phy-handle = <0xc>;
                        phy-mode = "mii";
                        allwinner,leds-active-low;

                        mdio {
                                #address-cells = <0x1>;
                                #size-cells = <0x0>;

                                ethernet-phy@0 {
                                        compatible = "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c22";
                                        reg = <0x1>;
                                        clocks = <0x2 0x2b>;
                                        resets = <0x2 0x27>;
                                        linux,phandle = <0xc>;
                                        phandle = <0xc>;
                                };
                        };
                };
 

 

and the soundcard (codec-analog) is:
 

Spoiler

                codec@01c22c00 {
                        #sound-dai-cells = <0x0>;
                        compatible = "allwinner,sun8i-v3s-codec";
                        reg = <0x1c22c00 0x400>;
                        interrupts = <0x0 0x1d 0x4>;
                        clocks = <0x2 0x24 0x2 0x46>;
                        clock-names = "apb", "codec";
                        resets = <0x2 0x28>;
                        dmas = <0xb 0xf 0xb 0xf>;
                        dma-names = "rx", "tx";

                        allwinner,audio-routing = "Headphone", "HP", "Headphone", "HPCOM", "MIC1$

                codec-analog@01c23000 {

                        reg = <0x1c23000 0x4>;
                        linux,phandle = <0xc>;
                        phandle = <0xc>;
                };

 

I did insert the soundcard data to the ethernet-.dtb , but it doenst could be compiled (also when i try to use another phandle for the soundcard). So 0xc seems to be used for ethernet and soundcard :(

 

I do get the following "syntax-error" (error? I did copy & paste the parts):
  

root@LicheePi(addr:192.168.6.130):/home/guido# dtc -I dts -O dtb ./sun8i-v3s-licheepi-zero_eth0_analog.dts -o ./sun8i-v3s-licheepi-zero_eth0_analog.dtb

from the part
                codec-analog@01c23000 {

Iam not firm in decode this error in the .dts - but I couldnt find any wrong written word (=syntax-error) nor a double name, handle or address.

 

Maybe you got an idea when do will compile new dtbs or kernel.

@Igor short question: when I try to edit a entry in the forum I couldnt use spoiler/code-tags after the first save.
on the second edit these tags are gone in the editor. Is this as you wish or is there a problem for my user or for all?
Got this problem spotted for 1-2 weeks..

There is a major forum upgrade + 2 bug fix upgrade waiting. I hope some of those troubles will be gone after that. I already started with theme adjustments and testing, but due to family duties I am grounded for few days :) Switch to updated version perhaps in upcoming weekend.

phandles are kind of slot number for the node, it can't be used twice, if slot is already occupied.

When adding a new node manually to a decompiled DT, you need to assign a phandle which doesn't already exist, looking at the highest phandle and choosing something higher, not necessarly consecutive, maybe something like 0x99 ...

Before I got a headache and quit the other night I was dealing with a similar issue.  It looks like in the DTBs I was reviewing that the analog codec seems to want to use similar pins as the ethernet adapter.  I am not well versed enough in how the DTB is to be formatted and how to map this differently as needed.  I had one DTB hacked together which seemed to provide most things except USB and analog audio, but not confident enough in it to really give it out till I know its right.

 

My hope is next time I get a chance to bug a few devs I know and get it working as expected.  When I get there, I will share that with you as well.

 

RE:  @martinayotte this is actually the info I was looking for, thanks for that! At least got me pointed in the right direction of what to look at.

 

@guidol if you want to mess with it your self, what @martinayotte said should get you started.

 

Cheers!

I did already test to replace 0xc with something like 0xa1 - but this does not solve the "sytax error) :(

As @TheLinuxBug did wrote there seem to be some other setting double.

 

I didnt found any editor or guide for me at this time

You got a "Eagle-Eye" - but its even more worse.... the $ at the end of the line is from the nano-editor and the line is even longer: 

not only

allwinner,audio-routing = "Headphone", "HP", "Headphone", "HPCOM", "MIC1"

BUT

allwinner,audio-routing = "Headphone", "HP", "Headphone", "HPCOM", "MIC1", "Mic", "Mic", "HBIAS";

Mind the ; ;)

 

OK - the sun8i-v3s-licheepi-zero_eth0_analog.dts is now compiled as .dtb..

(named in / boot as sun8i-v3s-licheepi-zero.dtb)

 

Ethernet is working like before

but it seems now Iam missing the audio-driver/module :(

@TheLinuxBug maybe this link would help us more?

[EDIT] I also did try to add the DMA-controller, but I doent know if I had to insert the new phandle 0xa8 to the DMA-lines of the codec-analog, because there is also 2x 0xb whcih is the old phandle.

 

[EDIT 2nd] I deleted here the non-working .DTS/.DTBs

Right, they must be changed to 0xa8 ...

 

BTW, since the patch you mentioned is coming from Icenowy, you can dig her github, she got several v3s branches :

https://github.com/Icenowy/linux/tree/v3s-codec-v1

from

to

?

or has the 0xf also be changed to something else?

No ! 0xf is the interrupt number 15.

I've edit my above post which shows the original sources from icenowy's github : the line "dmas = <&dma 15>, <&dma 15>;" would then be translated into "dmas = <0xa8 0xf 0xa8 0xf>;"

BTW, why not trying to take icenowy's patches and place them in Armbian build, you will end up with a working lichee kernel 5.0.y ... :P

Sorry I got no idea which is a phandle there and which is ther an interrupt.

 

AND Iam a VERY VERY beginner in self-compiling. 

Using the armbian-build-system menue is - for me - not really compiling ;)
As now I dont use any patches or know how to place them.... :(

 

[EDIT]

BUT YES! after editing the DMA-lines also to 0xa8 see what I do get:

Sorry I got no idea which is a phandle there and which is ther an interrupt.

No problem, as I said the resulting "dmas = <0xa8 0xf 0xa8 0xf>;" is good !

No worries ! But that would be a good opportunity and challenge ... ;)

Using the armbian-build-system menue is - for me - not really compiling ;)
As now I dont use any patches or know how to place them.... :(

it is, the difference is.. You don't have to think about outdated compilers on your base system.. :lol: There was a time when I compiled a few u-boot/ kernels without the buildscript for the BPi R2 (during the time.. this thing actually produced more headache than output)

 

 

wasn't 5.0 back then.. but well.. it's been a while since.. :D

that's a starter for the manual patching (and a few follow up posts):

 

 

otherwise for those being lazy.. :ph34r: you can download patches from github (in fact every commit).. Just add '.patch' to the commit in the link... e.g.:

https://github.com/Icenowy/linux/commit/716da86219368781107a5c4fcf205b7973d3dba5.patch

then keep in mind that our kernel/u-boot sources are git repositories as well so you can just git apply blablabla.patch (sometimes force - doing this during build with create patch = yes) and then fix the rejections and armbian will take care that a new patch is created after its which is hopefully without any rejections at all. In case it doesn't have any rejections from the beginning, just place it in the right patchfolder and you don't even have to care... :D

I am going to test building 4.14.y and 4.13.y branch to see if the WiFi driver is incorporated at any point, the github repos are not very specific about whats been updated and my attempts to build the driver seperately have so far failed for the 4.12.y repo I used to generate this.

Today I did clone and compile kernel 4.14 from:
https://github.com/Lichee-Pi/linux/tree/zero-4.14.y

with their standard setttings (.config)

 

The resulting zImage ( 4.14.14-licheepi-zero+ ) does also work with Ethernet / Audio-Codec and the Tripple-Status-LED ;)

 

I did put the 4.14.y zImage as zImage_Kernel_414.zip on my GoogleDrive (see above for the link)

 

I do like the small 23MB footprint of this small Linux (would like to see such Linux on a Router which normally do use OpenWRT - many of them have 128MB RAM, but less Mhz)

@guidol are there any modules in /lib/modules/'uname -r' folder ?

I - personally - see the following modules:
  

root@LicheePi(192.168.6.130):/# find / -name *.ko
/root/ns2009.ko

/lib/modules/4.10.2-licheepi-zero+/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt7601u/mt7601u.ko

 

I did compile with these instructions ( the cloning was a 2GB Download ):
  

Kernel 4.14.y 
git clone https://github.com/Lichee-Pi/linux.git -b zero-4.14.y zero414
cd zero414

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- -j16 INSTALL_MOD_PATH=out modules_install

Output of the modules-install-command:

@guidol  check in your 'out' folder if any modules were built, you also need to copy them to your Lichee Pi

  

  INSTALL crypto/echainiv.ko
  INSTALL drivers/video/backlight/lcd.ko
  INSTALL drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/r8723bs.ko

It took me some time today, but I updated the jessie image (mindb_dd.tar.gz + kernel 4.14 + new .dtb )

to stretch the normal way

 

Editing the /etc/sources.list  (in the process of updateing) was more a replacement from 

deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org jessie/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org jessie/updates main contrib non-free

to 

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free

but I do had a problem with apt

at the second time Reading package lists... is in speed OK

BUT Building dependency tree take serveral Minutes and is really SLOW :(

 

I did try

apt-get autoclean

apt-get autoremove     AND

apt-get clean

 

to speedup the process.....but it doesnt get really better :(

 

[EDIT]

I did found a old jessie-multi-list in the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d !

because I did wonder why I do see jessie-entrys in my apt-get update

when the sources.list only contains stretch entries.

 

After removing the jessie-multi-list in the additional directory I give again a  

apt-get clean    and then

apt-get install debian-keyring
apt-get install debian-archive-keyring
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 8B48AD6246925553
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 9D6D8F6BC857C906

apt-get update

and now its MUCH faster (like before with only jessie entries for jessie)

 

AND only around 19MB memory-footprint ;) with stretch

@TheLinuxBug at your page for compiling the u-boot you have at the end of the page

https://licheepizero.us/build--uboot-for-licheepi-zero

the text: 

After success compilation, u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin will be generated,

you can write it with 8K offset to boot.

 

for reference I do found the follwing page/command for doing this ;)

http://linux-sunxi.org/Bootable_SD_card#Bootloader 

dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=${card} bs=1024 seek=8

at the SD-Card layout part you could also see the 8k offset for the spl/u-boot:
http://linux-sunxi.org/Bootable_SD_card#SD_Card_Layout

 

Quote

A default U-Boot build for an Allwinner based board uses the following layout on (micro-)SD cards or eMMC storage (from v2018.05 or newer)
