Hi Verner,

I tried this one on muy opi3

but it can't start. 

there is a kernel panic:

Sorry to hear but no clue.

 

These images come directly from the build script located here https://github.com/armbian/build and I did not add any modifications. They are just pre-build to save some time setting up a build environment and run the whole thing. Maybe someone does not even have a chance to built such images themselves.

And also they are some kind of control as if something is missing there must have been a change that breaks the build process.

 

The support for the Allwinner H6 SoC (which is the heart of boards like the OrangePi One Plus, Lite2 and OrangePi 3) is still under development and dev images can break at any time for any reason. Feel free to give older images a try and if you find one that actually works let us know so we might be able to track the issue down.

 

Here you can find even older images: https://dl.armbian.com/orangepi3/

Hi Werner,
by chance, do you know how to tell the Armbian build script, to prepare for example an Armbian 5.88 with kernel 5.0.x for OPI3?

Now we are at 5.93 with kernel 5.2.6 but I would like to be able to compile builds with kernel of the 5.0.x series, because although sometimes they were hung and the audio does not work, at least they can be used.
Right now I'm using an old build to write to you, but I don't dare to update it in case something breaks.

This is working very well for me (only 5 days uptime due to local power outage - otherwise it "just works" :-)

From a quick look there were three commits in the past 21 days besides commits directly to mainline.

 

https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/414f304b138a0cdd9ba9756b5201d61b7400fa05

https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/5412aa7d9c9406b084f5be07773e7d3ea107a2e6

https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/307c1daaa181151ea5b9c8e3507f145463fb82eb#diff-80b9f0b99e69776b772e470f0afc5e8c

 

The easiest to test is the added CPU_THERMAL function by simply trying an image that were made at least four days ago that does not include this most recent commit: https://laet.pw/index.php/s/M2eXJKll5sdnlBN?path=%2F0508

 

Other is more difficult to figure out what has been changed to cause break.

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.

 

Did you have any luck with BT support?

I tried that but after all the steps it did not work at the end. And I could never figure out what I did wrong.

I do not own this board, so sorry, no clue. I just provide pre-built images to save others some time building their own.

Any idea how to make HDMI sound work? I added LibreElec sound patch for OPi3 (https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/blob/master/projects/Allwinner/devices/H6/patches/linux/05-sound-hack.patch) to "patch/kernel/sunxi-dev/sound-hack.patch" and built desktop stretch image with Kernel 5.2.8. Patch was applied successfully as mentioned on the trailing log of building process. System boots to xfce4 and I see HDMI Analog Sound device in Pulse Audio Manager and AlsaMixer but I don't get sound. I notice poor graphics when sound patch is applied. May be I am missing something..... help will be appreciated. 

When we getting Sound from Armbian by the way? :)

Just tried but failed while compiling..... "[ failed ]" while the other patch was still applied before this. Anything to do with changing order of both sound patches?

I used Buster... I felt some stability issues but it booted fine.  Before that couple of June versions also worked for me..... Check your SDcard....with some cheap cards I felt issues with Balena but same cards Win32DiskImager worked.... I don't think I was super lucky to have Buster booted for me only.... :)

I used three different SDs card but it still can't boot up.

If i can use the same SD card with another image to boot up in another board, does it prove that the SD card is fine?

 

I plan to switch from Etcher to Win32DiskImager, switch from SanDisk/Kingston to Samsung. See whichever solves it.

 

Note that I have yet to flash the board. It's still running the Android image that it came with. The adapter came with the set that OrangePi sold with the board.

You need to change the DTB file to version 5.88.190601 - 5.1.5

Located on the SD card: /boot/dtb-5.1.7-sunxi64/allwinner/sun50i-h6-orangepi-3.dtb

That fixed it for me on 5.88 dev 5.17.

 

Version linux-dtb-dev-sunxi64 version 5.90.190630 should work too, but I've not tested it.

 

Check post:

Hi guys,

 

Can you make it clear about Sunxi-Cedrus, please:

 

According to information here Cedrus for H6 and Lima/Panfrost drivers were merged into 5.2 linux kernel. Does this mean that when Armbian will be switched to 5.2.y,  it will be possible to HW decode H.264 using FFMPEG? Or everything is more complicated?)

Later is true. While Panfrost is merged in 5.2, it doesn't support Mali T720 yet, which is present in H6. It's true that Cedrus is in kernel, but currently only supports decoding MPEG2. Very basic support for H.264 will come with 5.3. On top of that, interface to this type of drivers (Cedrus is first of it's kind, RK VPU drivers being second) is not stable and thus not exposed in kernel API. Because of that no userspace program officially supports it, although ffmpeg fork exist which implements support for them.
