TonyMac32 Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 Well, there has been a lot of peripheral stuff going I with Rockchip as well, I have a lot of catching up to do now that my build machine is building again. I think 5.2 may be the more interestingSent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

But what's promised for 5.2 seems amazing. Lima, Panfrost and Cedrus h264 for multiple Allwinner SoC's. And the H6's should be a lot better then too. And that's only for Allwinner. Great for the SBC community. Can't wait for it.

Doesn't mean that this is complete... e.g. you want thing anything like: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/patch/kernel/rockchip64-dev/fix-rockpi4b-led.patch on the other hand, our RX & TX settings for gmac slightly differ: + tx_delay = <0x28>; + rx_delay = <0x20>; https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/66b5cea466557222d8a9d4f140f7c9e3b3acee4f/patch/kernel/rockchip64-dev/add-board-rockpi4b.patch#L304-L305 tx_delay = <0x28>; rx_delay = <0x11>; https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/8ff468c29e9a9c3afe9152c10c7b141343270bf3/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-rock-pi-4.dts#L155-L156 maybe this makes a difference.. who knows.. It's not that 5.1 will be boring.. But I would only push if first Ayufan pushes as well and second we can adjust all patches in one attempt.. 3 hours ago, TonyMac32 said: Well, there has been a lot of peripheral stuff going I with Rockchip as well, It's not that there isn't anything interesting.. You will probably know in which parts I'm interested due to a few PMs.. But I still think that some of them are just not ready yet.. Or might need additional DT tweaking. 3 hours ago, TonyMac32 said: I think 5.2 may be the more interesting and then.. 5.3 will be more interesting cause maybe a LTS kernel (~3 months/kernel means november - okay.. if we assume 2 months/kernel then it will be 5.4 who cares).. We definitively should push to either 5.1 or 5.2 to avoid having to much to fix later.. But it's IMO not priority.

Honestly I've kind of snoozed on RK3399 with all the ridiculous U-boot nonsense, then my build machine was being difficult...

But since I never had network issues (e.g. lot of dropped packages or bad performance).. I didn't tried to nail down those settings.. BTW. The settings we find for the rockpi come likely from here: https://github.com/radxa/kernel/blob/33fb3acc053189406d28184582239e952abe3589/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rock960-model-c-linux.dts#L956-L957 https://github.com/radxa/kernel/blob/33fb3acc053189406d28184582239e952abe3589/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rock960-model-ab-linux.dts#L979-L980 https://github.com/radxa/kernel/blob/33fb3acc053189406d28184582239e952abe3589/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-sapphire.dtsi#L247-L248 https://github.com/radxa/kernel/blob/33fb3acc053189406d28184582239e952abe3589/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-evb.dtsi#L525-L526 which locks like reference design.
Tido Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) Hi, I try to set up the server of Armbian_20.02.1_Rockpi-4b_buster_current_5.4.20.img - as the boot was very slow I wanted to see the systemd-analyze plot systemd-analyze plot > RockPi4B_boottime-$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).svg Bootup is not yet finished (org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager.FinishTimestampMonotonic=0).

Linux rockpi-4b 5.4.32-rockchip64 #20.02.11 SMP PREEMPT Tue Apr 14 17:30:19 CEST 2020 Looks like bluetooth was responsible for the 'hanger'.. and a picture of the situation: It was difficult to get a proper plot, so that gThumb doesn't crash. I reached that goal by disabling: sudo systemctl disable rk3399-bluetooth.service ; the plot reduced from 1,4MB to 181kB. However, the boot itself takes an eternity, here some more details, from serial-getty@ttyS2.service (at 66 seconds) to launch user-1000.slice (at 134 sec.) Booting completed at 145 seconds. and 68 seconds later it continues: Edited May 1, 2020 by Tido systemctl stop bluetooth.service 1
