Orangepi 3 h6 allwiner chip

Tried to do something with bluetooth, but "hcitool" and "bluetoothctl" tells me that there is no bluetooth controller. Anybody got this working yet?

yes, check the thread called bluethooth. I did not manage to make it work, but somebody did. So good luck.

In order to make bluetooth work, you need to check if uart1 is declared properly in the dts/dtb and enabled. Then proceed with hcitool...

[renedis]

Thanks, I don't know how to do that and I'm not a "dts/dtb expert". Is there any guide on how to get this going? (not just bluetooth, als odts/dtb in generally). I'm interested and eager to learn but don't know where to start with this.

 

Edit:

 

I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing... But found this out looking at the schematics:

PIN  Define      CFG

PL10 BT-WIFI-ON  1
PM0  WL-WAKE-AP  0
PM1  BT-WAKE-AP  0
PM2  AP-WAKE-BT  1
PM3  WL-REG-ON   1
PM3  BT-REG-ON   1

 

 

I also found out that the schematics are the same as the AP6255.

 

 

 

 

 

Edit2:

 

 

Also found this topic....

 

 

 

Maybe if I convert DTB to DTS (and back) and add this:

 

/* There's the BT part of the AP6256 connected to that UART */ &uart1 { pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <&uart1_pins>, <&uart1_rts_cts_pins>; uart-has-rtscts; status = "okay"; bluetooth { compatible = "brcm,bcm4345c5"; clocks = <&rtc 1>; clock-names = "lpo"; device-wakeup-gpios = <&r_pio 1 2 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; /* PM2 */ host-wakeup-gpios = <&r_pio 1 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; /* PM1 */ shutdown-gpios = <&r_pio 1 4 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; /* PM4 */ max-speed = <1500000>; }; };

 

And copy https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/OrangePiH6_external/tree/master/ap6256 to:

/lib/firmware/brcm/(BCM4345C5.hcd)

 

Am I correct that it will it work then? (I'm using a OPi3)

[SchmuseTigger]

if you get it to work, please write how you did it. Also 5.2 should have it working.

There is new and fixed update to linux-dtb-dev-sunxi64 version 5.90.190630.

[data]

Have the changes been updated also in the Lite2 version?

Yes, but I tested new voltage values on OPi3 only, so be prepared (this can gives stability on Lite2 also or ... not)

works fine boots again

mine is 5.88 even with apt-get update and going to nightly build

[data]

Ok, Lite2 boots fine now with the current updates.

From what I see, uart1 is now enabled by default and listed as ttyS1 in dmesg.

Any idea, why I still can not enable bluetooth via hciattach /dev/ttyS1 ... ?

How can I test if uart1 is actually working?

hurrah kernel 5.2 has been released - so will check back next week ( 5.2.1? ) hoping to be able to compile a first dev build for my H6 ( opioneplus ) and be able to boot from it.

I can't wait to finally use BT with my OP3

Most of the functionality is already in Armbian kernel for weeks/months so you will not notice much if any difference  But before we can switch target to 5.2.y a bunch of patches https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/master/patch/kernel/sunxi-dev (functionality that will come in upstream in next 6 months) has to be manually adjusted to meet with 5.2.y. Help is more then welcome! Not today. In a few weeks.

Wait, I thought the CPU/GPU support only comes with 5.2? I mean automatically because it is in the Linux Kernel?

 

And I still hope for BT 5.0

This feature http://linux-sunxi.org/Sunxi-Cedrus is missing and it should come with 5.2.y but this does not mean it will just work out of the box ...

Don't see any mentioning http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort

[SchmuseTigger]

 That would suck. I tried to get it to work using the description I found in the BT thread here in the forum, but it did not work. Sucks as the files exist for 4 month to make BT 5.0 work but for a Linux newbie even with tinkering for hours I could not make it work. 

[AZ8]

As per http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort Watchdog support for H6 merged into 5.3

 

Is it possible to use hw watchdog now? Maybe, compile some kernel module?

no i have set verbosity to 7 maybe i can post more tomorrow

any idea ?

[krachlatte]

any idea ?, no updates for a long time

[SchmuseTigger]

no clue. I have the buster version which does not work with a lot of software yet (no pi hole, no iobroker for instance), updates with apt-get show some errors and on the download section here the last update is weeks ago.

Seems to be a low priority (not many people working on it). I personally wait for a good offer for a pi 4 and will just buy that, as it is supported by so many people. And then use the opie3 in a year or so for something else with the hope that the software will work then.

My last test - 5 days ago - does show that on a fresh installed "normal" buster pi-hole does work now fine

 

[SchmuseTigger]

For me it did not even install Pi, got an error with apt-get and stopped after a few seconds into the install. But does not change that if you go 

 

https://dl.armbian.com/orangepi3/

 

And check the dates on the latest updates that very much looks like a dead project to me.

the latest images there are from the 06.07.2019  - just a month old. Why should it be dead?
Mostly these images do get the newest updates only online - not every time a new image would be created for all SBCs.

Hello

Im build armbian 5.2.x (and mesa), but I don’t have enough tutorials to up panfrost on mali.
Tell me, did someone manage to get him to work normally?

Feel free to build your own image using the build script including the latest changes at any time

Yeah, it is possible to build Armbian_5.93_Orangepi3_Debian_buster_dev_5.2.5.img

 

I have a qustion: do you have a tutorial to set up apt server to update kernel/dtb instead of reflashing?

Do a build with "kernel+u-boot only", then copy output/debs/linux-image-dev-sunxi64_5.93_arm64.deb and output/debs/linux-dtb-dev-sunxi64_5.93_arm64.deb on the OPi using "scp".

After logging into OPi with "ssh", simply do "dpkg -i linux*.deb" ...

Project nightly builds are suspended due to Kernel version upgrade (as I know) but sunxi platform is being actively worked at by devs. I keep looking at "https://github.com/armbian/build/commits/master"

I added OPi 3 Buster image as well as kernel debs to my builds and will be available tomorrow following the link mentioned in my signature below.
