Don't open new topics and read the topic which yours was merged to. You will find all answers here.

I read from beginning and I see people with same problem but they don't answer if sound works using armbian, but answer for lireleec. Are there people suing armbian and sound is working?

... I also didn't get any sound when I did testings but it was a quick test without any research so I can't conclude nothing out of that. If people report its not working, then its not working and if sound is working in Librelec means that it can be fixed without extensive work. But its still work and since development is amateur ... its done when its done. One is for sure - only HDMI sound can be brought up, while there are no drivers for analogue.

Hi,

 

I tried Orange Pi One Plus H6 version of LibreElec from here: https://test.libreelec.tv, sound is working through HDMI, also detects resolution with HDMI-VGA converter and in both cases  i have sound and hardware accelerated graphics, youtube at full fps with audio sync.

 

I disabled 2 cores with

echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online

echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/online

 

and works perfect without heatsink.

 

But sadly this is not what I want, I need X11 with hardware acceleration and chrome browser, I tested in Armbian and works ok, but without sound.

 

Also I tested recent Xunlong orange pi mainline kernel and I have audio but no graphics acceleration and no thermal sensors, I tried to recompile kernel myself several times with different settings without good results.

 

I'm struggling with this for several days, perhaps with mainline version in Xunlong OrangePi repositories plus LibreElec dtb/dts, and https://github.com/warpme/minimyth2/tree/master/script/kernel/linux-5.4/files patches someone like Igor can enable sound, I'm years away of knowledge needed, I dedicated about 12 days (almost full-time)  trying to have a distro working with sound and video, I purchased 3 different sd cards, I downloaded and built All Oficial repositories  images of OrangePi with kernel 4.9 and mainline and I failed every time to get all working together, I tried several versions of Ubuntu, Debian, I debootstraped rootfs of debian and also of course I tried Armbian, for me this last one is perfect, stable and great, so if anyone can make sound via HDMI working will be great for all newbies like me.

 

Thanks!

Yes, LibreELEC is already using mesa on H6. However, Kodi is not a demanding app for GPU, so ymmv.

Nice to see Mali T720 with Mesa working, I would test it but as I already mentioned in another post I'm having issues with the HDMI PHY using HDMI to VGA adapter. Is there any way to analize that kind of problems?

Is anybody else seeing the issue that the CPU is constantly at around 80°C causing the CPU to be throttled down to 1.08Ghz maximum speed? I added a heatsink to the H6 CPU and switched the governor to conservative but that didn't really help.

What about setting max speed to 1.6?

Heatsink may not help much if the air is not moving. Place a 12cm fan next to the board and you should not have any throttling even on 1.8GHz and 100% load on all cores. (no need for a heatsink in this case) I have my fan undervolted so that it doesn't make noise. Not much airflow is needed to keep Opi3 from throttling. Otherwise you need a bigger heatsink with larger area.

The air should be moving upwards by itself but anyways, now that I know that this is a known problem I prepared a 40mm fan with a USB plug that I can just mount on my enclosure and it will blow straight onto the heatsink. That should be enough cooling to keep it under 80°C.

 

Another thing I noticed: I have a 5.2V 3A Power supply connected to the Micro USB connector. On the USB3 Ports I have a HDD connected and that HDD just gets 4.7V, so either some rails are a little too thin on the board or the Micro USB connector adds quite some resistance. Has someone seen that before? Is it better to use the DC Jack than the Micro USB connector? At the moment I used a second power supply with an USB-A/USB-A cable to provide additional power to the USB Port but that's obviously not a good solution (but it works at the moment).

Micro USB connector current rating is ~2A continuous current. Contact resistance ~2x30mOhm. I don't use it, mostly because most USB cables are usually too thin and not designed for power delivery to SBCs. (your mobile phone will not care when VBUS voltage drops to 4.5V at the end of the cable during charging, but your SBC will)

 

Anyway, even with custom made low resistance cabling, I was able to achieve SSD stability only when routing 5V directly to the drive. Maybe SSDs have high peak current consumption, I don't know.

 

So yeah, similar experience here.

Hello and thanks for all the effort.

 

I just wanted to inform you that today with kernel 5.5.0-rc6-sunxi64 I've got sound through hdmi  out of my OPi3 for first time ever.

Youtube seems to be working fine out of the box. VLC still doesn't work - system hunged with a mkv file I tried (I didn't have time to check with other files).

 

That's a huge step forward for me!

Kudos to the developers.

Unfortunately my Orange Pi 3 is still very unstable, even with the latest version. I get a maximum uptime of 4 days, and sometimes like now it won't even reboot automatically when it crashes. I'll try to see if it's possible to setup kdump tomorrow to see if this is caused by a panic (and what causes it) or the CPU simply goes into reset. I am running Armbian from a USB Drive, I need to check if maybe USB initialization fails and that causes the reboot to fail.

Has anybody else experienced something like this?

As you can read (some posts) above I am using 2 Power supplies and the voltage should be stable at the board. I'll try to run a stresstest though once I rebooted the board to see if that could be the issue.

Just to confirm: For you this board is running stable?

My bad. The posts above are a bit older so I did not notice they are related. Probably overtired and coffee keeping me alive.

Anyway. I do not own an OPi3. Tough I have to OPi One Plus which come with the Allwinner H6 as well and they are running decent. Even with 1.8GHz with an older image.

I think this board has quite some issues though, even when I go in with 5V on the Micro USB it's not enough to power a HDD on the USB Ports (and I'm not the only one with that issue), so I was wondering if this might be another issue this board has.... I guess I need a 5.5V Power Supply to account for whatever losses happen on the board.

Is it better to go in through the DC Jack? I read about issues with that some time ago aswell and as I would have to cut my USB Cable I want to be absolutely sure that it's better before I try it.

It is general advised by armbian to used barrel plug to power a board if possible.

It is true that there is quite some voltage drop across the board. Though I guess they are not designed to let pass lots of current through anyways.

 

For example have two different 2,5'' hdd drives that I wanted to connect to my OPi1+ through a S-ATA-USB adapter. One drive could spin up, the other could not through the voltage drop across the board (just a click-click-click noise and voltage dropped to about 4,3 volts). After applying a second cable and provide more power through the microUSB connector as well it worked.

 

You do not need to kill a usb cable for that. You can get USB to DC jack 4,0x1,7 cables for cheap on aliexpress or similar.

Anyone caught this one?

https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Mali-T720-Stable-Mesa-20.0

 

It is present in mesa git master, going to try to compile it.

 

i have compiled mesa from https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa and looks like hw acceleration is working, but it very unstable, once linux OS crashed on startup of glxgears and next time on exit of glxgears

any one else tried same ?

I believe powering the board through the DC jack is better. I have a WD My Passport attached and running permanently without any issues. FYI the adapter that came with the board I ordered had coil whine which may or may not be a problem for you.

This is the adapter I use now. It can supply up to 3A when set for 5V output.

Hi Guys,

 

i am using this XL6009 board step down module together with a 2Tb Thosiba 2,5" usb 3 HDD and arduino nano with networking shield and 2.4Ghz Radio connected to this Board and a 12V Ultra silent Fan, i am feeding 12v to the stepdown and the output is tuned to 5.12V. i recommend puting small head sinks on the step down while using the opi3 with a HDD and additinal stuff. i am powering the opi3 directly via PIN Header and not the DC Jack.

 

https://de.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20200130133936&origin=y&SearchText=DC-DC+XL6009

 

Model Specification:DSN6000AUD Automatic Buck module
Module Properties:Non- isolated boost (BOOST)
Rectification:Non- Synchronous Rectification
Input Range:3.8V - 32V
Output Range:1.25V - 35V
Input Current:3A ( max ) , no-load 18mA (5V input , 8V output , no-load is less than 18mA. Higher the voltage , the greater the load current . )
Conversion efficiency:<94% ( greater the pressure , the lower the efficiency )
Switching frequency:400KHz
Output Ripple:50mV ( the higher the voltage , the greater the current , the greater the ripple )
Load Regulation:± 0.5%
Voltage Regulation:± 0.5%
Operating Temperature:-40  - +85

 

for the 12V 1,5A i am using a generic power supply.

 

runns pretty nice for mor then a year

Hello, can somebody help me.

 

I have OrangePi3 (Linux orangepi3 5.4.14-sunxi64 #rc1 SMP Sat Jan 25 15:46:08 CET 2020 aarch64 GNU/Linux ) running

Armbian_20.02.0-rc1_Orangepi3_buster_current_5.4.14

This is the board with 26-pin header.

 

There is no /dev/spi0.0

 

This is my /boot/armbianEnv.txt file

 

verbosity=1
console=both
overlay_prefix=sun50i-h6
rootdev=UUID=0b94dc1e-9162-435e-86d6-8a870add3ae5
rootfstype=ext4
overlays=spi-spidev
param_spidev_spi_bus=0
param_spidev_spi_cs=0
param_spidev_max_freq=1000000
usbstoragequirks=0x2537:0x1066:u,0x2537:0x1068:u

 

What else I can try to get /dev/spi

 

Thanks

The SPI on the header is actually SPI1, so you need: 

overlays=spi-spidev1
param_spidev_spi_bus=1

That should get you /dev/spidev1.0.

Just upgraded to the latest Armbian 20.05 with kernel 5.5.0 final. It seems to be working well, however I'm still having issues with Panfrost/T720, just wondering if it's just me (messed up compilation or configuration somewhere) or if others have the same issue.
