Check top for load. With 3.10.65 image it stabilizes at 3 which means three of four cores are permanently under full load which also explains the temperature issues. Did not test on OPi3 though as I do not have one but on OPi1+ which comes with H6 as well. 4.17 with initial support for H6 fixed this for me.

Expand  

Oh my, I didn't notice. It's even worse than you describe! I left for half an hour the OPi3 idling and its load average is around 7, with cfinteractive taking 100% of the CPU...
I managed to compile the kernel from https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/OrangePiH6_Linux4.9 but now I have to figure out how to convert the image to u-boot format (this u-boot thing is new to me).

@krachlatte did you receive your board? I'd like to help with testing but the instruction here: https://github.com/krachlatte/armbian-orangepi3/blob/master/README.md are not clear to me.

I'll try with the latest image from https://github.com/krachlatte/armbian-orangepi3/releases/

A bit unclear, yes. There is a folder userpatches after first run of compile.sh with subfolders for kernel and u-boot. Put the patches there.

I just received OPI 3 2G + 8G EMMC and trying your image.

 

I flashed following image

https://github.com/krachlatte/armbian-orangepi3/releases/download/v0.11/v0.11_Armbian_5.76_Orangepi3_Ubuntu_bionic_dev_4.20.12.img.bz2

 

HDMI was on until Loading Kernel written on screen then red power light illuminated. I waited nearly 1 hour but nothing happened.  What is the meaning of ages as objective? :) 

 

I will try to help by attaching logs but can someone basicly provide info about how to do it?

 

Note : Image file Armbian_5.59.180824_Orangepioneplus_Ubuntu_bionic_dev_4.18.0-rc7 successfully booted with HDMI & w/o network

Here is the outputs

Can someone put HDMI related lines of Armbian_5.59.180824_Orangepioneplus_Ubuntu_bionic_dev_4.18.0-rc7 to OPI3 image? Isn't that much easy?

If I add

auto lo eth0

allow-hotplug eth0

iface eth0 inet dhcp

hwaddress ether **************

 

It stucks at Starting kernel ...

 

after 6 min it successfully booted still without network

Brilliant idea!! 

I attached an arduino to the OPi3 serial port with an old cdrom audio connector (where I moved a pin in order to have three adjacent pins connected) and three male-male pin cables, now I can see the output :thumbup:

I see in the download notes that there is a MAC address issue and I have also experienced it with my testing. Is this a hardware issue or is it on the OS side of things?  I also had something similar with the aml-s905x-cc and I seem to remember I partially fixed it by hard-defining a MAC address.

 

If it's on the Armbian side of things I will just wait for the stable build to release but otherwise I would like to fix it if I can.

 

Also, does anybody have a recommended heatsink size or even a specific amazon listing they can point to?

Heatsinks for the Raspberry Pi will work, although ~1mm small. Copper > aluminum in my experience. Check out AliExpress or eBay

I have watched this thread and decided to check the status of the mainline kernel 5.0 for the H6 with the @Icenowy 's work on top of it.

I can say it works really nice (tested on Orange Pi 3 H6):

* HDMI

* DVFS

* Gbps / ethernet

 

I have prepared a blindly DT that should work on Opi 3 H6: https://github.com/avafinger/orangepi-h6-ubuntu-base-minimal/tree/master/dts

 @Igor , Basically fetch the mainline kernel 5, apply your patch set on top and add/modify my DT.

 

I have tried to add i2c and spi but it did not work as i expected.

I had something like this:

For the i2c 

        i2c0: i2c@5002000 {
            compatible = "allwinner,sun6i-a31-i2c";
            reg = <0x05002000 0x400>;
            interrupts = <GIC_SPI 4 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
            clocks = <&ccu CLK_BUS_I2C0>;
            resets = <&ccu RST_BUS_I2C0>;
            status = "disabled";
            #address-cells = <1>;
            #size-cells = <0>;
        };

        i2c1: i2c@5002400 {
            compatible = "allwinner,sun6i-a31-i2c";
            reg = <0x05002400 0x400>;
            interrupts = <GIC_SPI 5 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
            clocks = <&ccu CLK_BUS_I2C1>;
            resets = <&ccu RST_BUS_I2C1>;
            status = "disabled";
            #address-cells = <1>;
            #size-cells = <0>;
        };
            i2c0_pins: i2c0_pins {
                pins = "PH5", "PH6";
                function = "i2c0";
            };

            i2c1_pins: i2c1_pins {
                pins = "PD25", "PD26";
                function = "i2c1";
            };

Default i2c in use (PMIC and possibly HDMI): 

ls /dev/i2c-*
/dev/i2c-0  /dev/i2c-1

i2cdetect -y 0
     0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  a  b  c  d  e  f

60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --          

 

For the SPI0:

  

        spi0: spi@5010000 {
            compatible = "allwinner,sun8i-h3-spi";
            reg = <0x05010000 0x1000>;
            interrupts = <GIC_SPI 10 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
            clocks = <&ccu CLK_BUS_SPI0>, <&ccu CLK_SPI0>;
            clock-names = "ahb", "mod";
            dmas = <&dma 23>, <&dma 23>;
            dma-names = "rx", "tx";
            pinctrl-names = "default";
            pinctrl-0 = <&spi0_pins>;
            resets = <&ccu RST_BUS_SPI0>;
            status = "disabled";
            num-cs = <1>;
            #address-cells = <1>;
            #size-cells = <0>;
        };
            spi0_pins: spi0 {
                pins = "PC0", "PC2", "PC3", "PC5";
                function = "spi0";
            };

One thing i noticed was some instability on SD card but resorting to 4.19-rc6 clk values fixed it.

 

Regarding the reboot command, i applied the latest ATF power fix (as suggested by @jernej but reboot works exactly as shutdown -h now

We still have to figure out where is the issue ... In another thread, I've mentioned that PineH64, with the same Armbian scripts, does reboot properly, while OrangePiOnePlus doesn't ...

I suspect there might be some issue with PMIC, like improper voltage set to some regulator... I noticed also some clock issues, which I'll investigate.

The printed info above (i2cdetect -y 0/1) is from the stock kernel, as soon as i added the i2c entries i2c gets lazy and do not detect the device i attach on PH6 and PH5 (Orange Pi One Plus).

I added: 

&i2c0_pins {
    bias-pull-up;
};

just in case. No success.:unsure:

SPI seems to be in the right direction, i tried to drive ili9341 display but kernel complains PC5 is already in use, so i gave up for now.

That won't fly. DMA is not the same as in A64. But fear not, I have patches which I plan to send soon (just before I2S stuff): https://github.com/jernejsk/linux-1/commits/h6_i2s

Yes, with proprietary userspace blobs. Yesterday I posted initial LibreELEC PineH64 image, so most important things from my perspective already work, although not stable yet.

BTW, newest U-Boot (2019.01) is the most optimal choice for H6. It correctly detects and sets boards with 3 GiB of RAM. It also has some DRAM stability fixes. The only thing you would lose is simplefb HDMI driver, but Linux 5.0 has initial H6 DRM driver anyway. OrangePi DTs don't have HDMI/DE/TCON nodes, but it should be easy to add them (copy over from PineH64). I didn't do it just because I don't have any OrangePi with H6 for testing.

The opi3-h6.dts i pointed to already have all the nodes. HDMI works like a charm. Those who will try need to compile the kernel with Wifi and BT enabled.

I synced the regulators with H64 but that does not fix the reboot issue.

 

I just noticed the power ON/OFF button works, maybe the H64 does not have this button?

 

Do you have any suggestion about i2c? 

I will use your dma code and see if i get SPI0 to work.

Can you please send that patch upstream? There is no reason to hold it up and you would lower patch count when using newer versions of kernel.

No suggestions about I2C or SPI. Maybe just compare registers if they are the same and on same addresses, if you plan to use some non-H6 compatible string.
