we did try to use A64 images from the Pine64 or the BananaPi M64 with the NanoPi A64.

 

The last times we did that with less success - OK Sytem is running but Network/Sound has to added via USB.
No suppport for the onboard devices :(

But today a user did wrote that - with the actual stable Pine64-image ( Armbian_5.69_Pine64_Debian_stretch_next_4.19.13 )
WiFi is useable.

 

So I flasded the Pine64-image to a MicroSDCard and did boot.

Additiionally I did see with "aplay -l" the HDMI and the analog Sound-device.

But ethernet isnt "connected" right via the .dtb

 

armbian inside can see the ethernet-part of the SoC (set IP and see MAC) and the external RTL8122E Phy blinks the Link and Transfered-Packets via LED....

 

My first idea was to edit the Pine64 DTB to match the NanoPI A64 DTB in the ethernet-part - but with these Pins & PHandle's I did get stuck :(

 

BUT my second idea did work  much better, because in the armbian-build-system I also did see the

sun50i-a64-nanopi-a64.dtb

 

So I checked the board-config-file for the pine64.conf ( under ./build/config/boards/ ) - there is an entry for a defconfig file

and the armbin-build-system has also a defonfig file for the nanopi-a64

./build/cache/sources/u-boot/v2018.11/configs/nanopi_a64_defconfig

 while  the NanoPi A64 isnt (official) supported by the Meneu-System of the armbian-build-system.

 

So I copied ./build/config/boards/pine64.conf to ./build/config/boards/nanopia64.conf and did edit it like in the following way:
 

# A64 quad core 512MB-2GB SoC GBE
BOARD_NAME="NanoPiA64"
BOARDFAMILY="sun50iw1"
BOOTCONFIG_DEFAULT="sun50iw1p1_config"
BOOTCONFIG="nanopi_a64_defconfig"
#
MODULES="sunxi_codec sunxi_i2s sunxi_sndcodec 8723bs"
MODULES_NEXT=""
#
KERNEL_TARGET="default,next,dev"
CLI_TARGET="bionic,stretch:next"
DESKTOP_TARGET="xenial:default"
#
CLI_BETA_TARGET=""
DESKTOP_BETA_TARGET=""

and did compile for the NanoPi A64 with

./compile.sh EXPERT="yes"

in ./build/

 

Now I could select the NanoPi A64 (falsely) as supported board and did select DEV (armbian 5.71 with Kernel 4.20)

I did build the console and the Desktop-version.

 

In the console-version I was happy to see eth0 & wlan0 working, but the HDMI and analog soundsystem is missing (which was visible in Pine64 next 4.19.13)

So there was no need for a RTL8211E-driver (because its only a PHY) like I did read before at

http://linux-sunxi.org/Ethernet#Realtek_RTL8211E

Quote

Realtek RTL8211E

The Realtek RTL8211E is a RGMII 10/100/1000 Ethernet PHY, which is gigabit capable. It is commonly paired with GMAC for gigabit speeds.

Generic PHY support is enough to make it work.

 

In the Desktop-version the GUI did start without problems (not fast, but useable) - like on a older pinebook (a64) build

 

Maybe DEV was "too much"? I will try the NEXT for my NanoPi A64 File :)

 

Or maybe the nanopi A64 dtb isnt correct on the "sound-part"?

Yes. DEV is probably too fragile atm - 4.19.y has good enough support for A64 in general and probably with the correct DTB everything should work. (but temperature sensor IIRC)

@Igor astonished  - with Armbian_5.71_Nanopia64_Debian_stretch_dev_4.20.0 it does seem to work better....

I did compile

Armbian_5.71_Nanopia64_Debian_stretch_next_4.19.13

Armbian_5.71_Nanopia64_Debian_stretch_next_4.19.13_desktop

with my hijacked configuration

but with 4.19.13

- there is no WiFi wlan0

- MicroSDcard read/write is much slower

- black screen (No Signal) after starting kernel (while the system is running in the backgorund and accessable via SSH)

- also no HDMI or analog soundcard

 

With

Armbian_5.71_Nanopia64_Debian_stretch_dev_4.20.0

Armbian_5.71_Nanopia64_Debian_stretch_dev_4.20.0_desktop
+ got WiFi wlan0

+ better read/write rates on the MicroSDcard

+ no black screen after starting kernel - can see boot-messages AND the Desktop-GUI is coming up

/sys/class/leds/nanopi-a64:blue:status/trigger is available as heartbeat-led

+ temperature sensor seems to give a correct output

That's right analog sound seems available (as shown by /proc/asound/cards) when using  a pine64 5.70 next image with nanopi a64 but no sound ever comes out of the connection, wifi does work.

Here is what i found so far,  there are three patches floating around about audio on A64.

for dai compatible string:

"allwinner,sun50i-a64-codec-i2s",

"allwinner,sun50i-a64-acodec-i2s",

"allwinner,sun50i-a64-i2s",

 

I tried to match the code with the compatible string, but i still have issues, no one claims the sun50i-a64-audio and i get this errors:

My last update on this issue in case someone is working to get sound on A64 (>= 4.20).

I tried every patch out there,  triple checked the code , same situation, no sound. 

I must have missed something or overlooked something.

I finally tried Vasily's kernel and for my surprise no sound. Last hope, i tried Vasily ARCH img, no luck, no sound even on Pine64.

Maybe it works on Pinebook,....

I hope you mean "mainline kernel"...;)

Please, try that on Pine64+ too.

Already did, and audio no working there too ...

Looking quickly at Vasily and Wens patches, and comparing with Armbian, it seems that there are some missing power regulator.

Hello. I compiled armbian 5.73 with kernel 4.20(bionic dev) and with my patch. I have only sound on output HDMI work perfect. Audio jack not work. aplay -l show me only one device:

card 0: allwinnerhdmi [allwinner,hdmi], device 0: 1c22800.i2s-i2s-hifi i2s-hifi-0 []

+/- I see sometimes that WiFi have problem with signal quality. Maybe it is only problem with signal.

I didn't found in dtb (kernel megous) and other patches armbian support for i2s2 and sound_hdmi. My patch.

I'm a beginner and i don't know linux kernel well. I wan't to only help us.

hello, i tried to build kernel for Nanopi A64 as @guidol suggested, but i can't get ethernet work.

 

Wifi works correctly. Tried 4.19 even 5.0.7-sunxi64, but no luck.

 

Any ideas ?

 

Thanks

Although I'm seeing some patches for NanoPi-A64 in Armbian, I don't see any board config to build an image.

 

EDIT : Oh ! I've just saw the OP, you are copying the pinea64.conf into nanopia64.conf and tweak it ?

Maybe it requires more if both boards don't have the same ethernet wiring ...

as BOOFCONFIG I do use the file

./build/cache/sources/u-boot/v2018.11/configs/nanopi_a64_defconfig

(at the start of the thread)

now the defconfig is at

./build/cache/sources/u-boot/v2019.01/configs/nanopi_a64_defconfig

 

Ethernet does work Out-of-the-Box - last I did compile was

but I have to compile it tomorrow with the new u-boot 01/2019

unfortunately, reason, why i tried to get armbian work was, that in official distribution one of two USB ports won't work.

and this issue is still here... :(

 

USB HDD Dock (with 2 disks) is connected to one port and it's working, but device on the second port is not visible at all (Prusa3D printer)

 

can someone help me ?

 

thanks a lot

I think it a problem with the sun50i-a64-nanopi-a64.dtb because we are getting in dmesg the error

[    1.856548] sun4i-usb-phy 1c19400.phy: failed to get clock usb0_phy
 

So only usb1_phy is working :(

 

We need a specialist for dtb or the user avafinger

from https://github.com/avafinger/nanopi-a64-firmware

because for his image with the old kernel 3.10 he did get both usb-ports working:
 

Quote

Nano Pi A64 firmware ( u-boot, kernel 3.10.104 / kernel 3.10.105 )

Build v2 (works all USB receptacules)

 

At the github-page there are also old-style .dtb-files, but I didnt understand to convert the informaton for our new file :(

I've look at the schematic, and both upper/lower USB are hook up the same way on the A64, no switchable VBUS .

So, I presume it is only question of DT, but I don't see why it doesn't behave like PineA64...

[ 7716.395733] usb 3-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using ehci-platform
[ 7716.565611] usb-storage 3-1:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected
[ 7716.576145] scsi host0: usb-storage 3-1:1.0

The first problem seems to be the dmesg-error-message:

[    1.857705] sun4i-usb-phy 1c19400.phy: failed to get clock usb0_phy

Strange for me is that only usb@1c1b000 and usb@1c1b400 have the following lines in the .dts:
 

                        phys = <0x21 0x1>;
                        phy-names = "usb";

but this phy-names is only in the deactivated usb@1c19000 compatible = "allwinner,sun8i-a33-musb"
anot not in usb@1c1a000 or  usb@1c1a400

 

usb0_phy is declared in phy@1c19400 compatible = "allwinner,sun50i-a64-usb-phy"
as clocks names clock-names = "usb0_phy", "usb1_phy"; 

clocks = <0x2 0x56 0x2 0x57>;

BUT the usb-ports do have the phandle <0x55> through <0x58>

So - do we need usb2_phy and usb3_phy or only more clocks names clocks = <0x2 0x55 0x2 0x58>;  ?

 

The same - I didnt understand - for the reset-handles:
 

                        resets = <0x2 0x0 0x2 0x1>;
                        reset-names = "usb0_reset", "usb1_reset";

i found out, that with Pine64 defconfig both USBs are working properly

probably some diff between nanopia64 and pine64 should help...

I have that too on Pine64, but "musb" is the microUSB, so nothing related to normal USBs .

Ah ! That is interesting... But how are the differ ? Can you diff them ?

Hah :) I did found something....after @kamma did tell it would be OK with the PineA64-deconfig....

It seems that the deactivated usb@1c19000 allwinner,sun8i-a33-musb has to be activated as status = "okay";

and in dr_mode = "host"; like on the pine64

 

I changed the sun50i-a64-nanopi-a64.dts and compiled it back to .dtb and did put it in /boot/dtb/allwinner and reboot.

 

see config here in hidden spoiler:

Now the NanoPi A64 does recognize the USB-Stick at the upper port.

Good ! So, you will probably submit a PR now ? :thumbup:

I dont know how to do that - and how to submit a PR for a less than unsupported board?
