Forgot to tell if you want more Tanix TX6 report, go to librelec forum or ask Jernej

No need, I also follow this forum :) Currently I don't have any H6 board set up, but I'll test in following days.

I ran regtool in my (recently bought) Orange Pi 3 and this was the output:

 

SoC bin: slow chip (bin=1) (raw=1)

 

And here is the content of dump-h6-ths if it's of any use:

Anyway, I will try to find some "missing time ingredient" in the following days, and Armbian will then be ready for a commit ...

 

Any luck finding an additional hour? ( too bad we missed the 27 October time slot, one hour for free ... ...  )

Anyway noticed rc6 has been released meanwhile, but is not in megous 5.4 - branch yet, worth waiting for that before committing things ?

Megi is usually a few days behind since they probably have other things to do ;). I remember in summer it took a few weeks to catch up with the branches but my guess was they were on vacation which is perfectly fine :)

I don't know what else to try. My OPi3 Fails 100% of the attempts to use.... sometimes it doesn't even finish the boot, sometimes i can type login/pass before it freezes. Tried many many different nightly images.... It works stable with LibreElec beta image, but, I don't want to use mine (only) as kodi media center....

Until you will not see nightly images with kernel 5.4.y its pointless to try. Nobody will not port fix to 5.3.y

Maybe people looking to run a stable system should just stop chasing the very latest of everything!

This uptime of 42 days is only because of a local power outage, otherwise it's absolutely rock solid running snapd, nextcloud, mosquitto, node-red, grafana, .....

Do you mean you can't get any version of Armbian to run on your Orange Pi 3 at all? I have one that's running very well using the Buster minimal version based on 5.3, including X, Chromium, HDMI output, Ethernet, USB, SPI... I have only tested Wi-Fi very quickly, but it worked out of the box. BT and SPI needed a little bit more configuration.

 

I started from Armbian_5.98.191009_Orangepi3_Debian_buster_dev_5.3.5_minimal but have upgraded several times since. Currently on 5.3.7 5.98.191026.

 

I'm booting directly from SD card, if that matters (no eMMC, 1 GB RAM).

 

Really the only thing I'm missing for now is 3D GPU support (panfrost), other than that it's just perfect, though I don't use video at all so I have no idea of the support on that front.

 

By the way, thanks to all for the really great job!

My H6s are running 5.4.0-rc4 from megous's branch, it is just some preview builds I've done, but I didn't commit to Armbian yet ...

cheers for that, will await your commits and meanwhile will play some more with my RockPI4a - TiA! -

Wait, BT is working with 5.4 RC now?

If by BT you mean Bluetooth like I do, it's working in 5.3 on the Orange Pi 3 using the Armbian nightly, it includes the firmware for the chip, there's just a bit of setup to do.

 

IIRC all that is really needed is the init script available in the package included here:

and a little change covered here:

Also check the mainlining effort page , kernel 5.5 is supposed to bring us lots of joy and perhaps by then H6 can be out of WIP stage, but is still 2-3 Months away from now ...

Looks like it is also interesting regarding CRYPTO, if you use eg ovpn or SSL ...

 

UPDATE

@megi Did not notice your reply earlier, btw thanks for bump to 5.4-rc6

Crypto can already be accelerated if you pick ciphers that can be accelerated with aarch64 AES instructions, because H6 has these, and they are fast.

 

openssl speed -evp aes-128-cbc -bytes 4096

 

aes-128-cbc    1324171.04k

 

that's > 1.2GiB/s on single core

 

Maybe ecb is better for benchmarking:

 

openssl speed -evp aes-128-ecb -bytes 4096

 

aes-128-ecb     537105.75k
