I assume there is no way to just disable the GPU completely? I don't need it at all, so if there is a way to disable it I would give that a try. 

Try to blacklist panfrost module.

Thank you all for your answers and tips!

The wi-fi works as expected, there is no external network restriction, I plug several devices to the same ethernet port (one at a time, of course).

I'll try the serial console messages next.

Regarding the "armbianmonitor -U", here's the result: https://pastebin.com/3kBFfhUZ

I'll try the serial console next.

Thanks again,

Francisco

I've connected to a 10/100M switch, and now it works. Connected to a 1G switch, it doesn't.

Could that be something related to the regulators, also?

Thanks,

Francisco

That indeed disabled those messages. I have a few more, are those normal and necessary aswell or can I disable something to get rid of them:

I think I found the reason for my crashes: I used the ondemand power governor and apparently that caused the issues. Maybe the voltage regulator was set to an invalid level or something. Anyways, since I disabled it and used performance I now have had no crashes, that's an uptime of 8 days now. My absolute record was 14 days so I guess the next weeks will show if that was really the issue or not.

Hm @dolphs@martinayotte did you experience these issues too? Should th Orangepi 3 be tweaked to a fixed clock by default?

My OPi3 doesn't suffer such issue, but it is running almost idle every time.

[dolphs]

same here ( idle most time ) but must admit I always use "conservative" even on the H5 boards.

BTW still did not have time to spin up a new build ( rc5 ) , come to that later ( weekend perhaps )

[Flole]

This is what happened right before a crash, looks like it was adjusting the frequency quite often at that time. I would assume that many frequency adjustments are the cause of it and also that is the only thing I changed and since then it's running super stable. Not even my selfmade power supply that provides 5.25V 3A through the dc jack made a change, I still had the same crashes while the voltage that comes out of the USB ports is super stable (checked with an oscilloscope). Only after switching to the performance governor it started to run stable (at least until now, but's thats already longer than usual).

Anyone updated their OrangePi 3 to the latest kernel released? Now my unit won't boot up unless I plug in an SD card with an earlier kernel

 

The details of previous working image:-

 

armbian@orangepi3:~$ lsb_release -a ; uname -a

Distributor ID:    Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Release:    20.04
Codename:    focal
Linux orangepi3 5.7.8-sunxi64 #trunk.40 SMP Fri Jul 17 19:09:21 UTC 2020 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

 

I think I need help on how to start troubleshooting this

[lanefu]

FYI you're running a nightly which is un supported.  Try a different kernel via armbian-config

Sorry for asking a newbie question.

How do I run armbian-config if I cannot boot up? should I try chroot?

The problem is on autonegotiation,  until solveded in some distro you can use something like :

ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off.

Current update to current stable focal server image is broken. Pic after reboot.

Ok. But I think i will stay at trunk.40. No issue with dev trunk.40 so far.

Sorry for the noob question. I tried to find a toolchain for Orange Pi 3 and couldn't. The sources would also help me, I'm going to work with GPIO from C++. Sunxi tools are not suitable for this board and Armbian. The program cannot be run on Armbian and gdbserver reports that it does not know how to run it. How to write programs for Armbian and orange Pi 3 in C/C++?

First install the kernel headers via armbian config.

then you'll want to use libgpiod for interacting with the GPIO

Do I have to add some modules / patches to the kernel to run HDMI touch display on OPi3?
It is a no-name 1024x600 from china display and the image is normal but the touch is not working.
Interestingly, this display connected to MeCOOL M8S PRO W (AML 905X chip)
with Armbian 20.09 Focal with Linux 5.8.10-arm-64 works fine and that system recognizes the touch panel as:

sudo evtest
No device specified, trying to scan all of / dev / input / event *
(...)
/ dev / input / event19: wch.cn USB2IIC_CTP_CONTROL
Select the device event number [0-19]: 19
Input driver version is 1.0.1
Input device ID: bus 0x3 vendor 0x1a86 product 0xe5e3 version 0x100
Input device name: "wch.cn USB2IIC_CTP_CONTROL"
(...)

and

lsusb
root @ arm-64: ~ # lsusb
(...)
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 1a86: e5e3 QinHeng Electronics USB2IIC_CTP_CONTROL

On OP3, the touch panel does not work on any of the Armbian editions.

Hi

Back problem
Im build armbian Armbian_20.11.0-trunk_Orangepi3_bionic_current_5.9.5 and eth0 down, no ip address, no link, how fix this?

thanks

Use stable build for now

 

 

Side note: Ethernet on OPi1+ running 5.9.0-rc5-sunxi64 is just fine.

Yep I'm experiencing same thing with 5.9.5 as well as 5.10.0-rc2 on my opi3

Hi

I had some issues with one-wire and gpio on my OP3

overlays=w1-gpio
param_w1_pin=PL10  and on boot it says can't find bank "L" (or simular), PD16 works fine, have not tested with PHxx yet.

That is because "sun50i-h6-fixup.scr" doesn't handle "L" bank (and "H" bank as well) as you can see here :

setenv decompose_pin 'setexpr tmp_bank sub "P(A|C|D|G)\\d+" "\\1";
setexpr tmp_pin sub "P\\S(\\d+)" "\\1";
test "${tmp_bank}" = "A" && setenv tmp_bank 0;
test "${tmp_bank}" = "C" && setenv tmp_bank 2;
test "${tmp_bank}" = "D" && setenv tmp_bank 3;
test "${tmp_bank}" = "G" && setenv tmp_bank 6'

 

Feel free to tweak that script and submit the fix in a PR...

 

EDIT : adding "H" bank should be pretty easy, but for "L" bank, it would be a bit harder since it need to change also the "pinctrl" with some "if" statements :

("L" bank is using "pinctrl@7022000" instead of "pinctrl@300b000" ...)

 

if test -n "${param_w1_pin}"; then
	setenv tmp_bank "${param_w1_pin}"
	setenv tmp_pin "${param_w1_pin}"
	run decompose_pin
	fdt set /soc/pinctrl@300b000/w1_pins pins "${param_w1_pin}"
	fdt get value tmp_phandle /soc/pinctrl@300b000 phandle
	fdt set /onewire@0 gpios "<${tmp_phandle} ${tmp_bank} ${tmp_pin} 0>"
	env delete tmp_pin tmp_bank tmp_phandle
fi

if test "${param_w1_pin_int_pullup}" = "1"; then
	fdt set /soc/pinctrl@300b000/w1_pins bias-pull-up
fi

Hi All!. I have installed Armbian 20.11.3 Buster with Linux 5.9.14-sunxi64 from apt update && apt upgrade.

 

I have problem with ethernet that isn't working, so now I use Wifi but I need ethernet so :).

 

When I do ifconfig eth0 it show

eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet6 fe80::2cc3:f331:7442:2701  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
        ether 02:07:d6:da:1c:89  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 147  bytes 36018 (35.1 KiB)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0
        device interrupt 27
 

Note device interrupt 27 is new and I think is the problem but I haven't more linux expirience.

 

What can I do? Do you need more info?. Thanks for all!
