The pin node definition i2c0 and i2c1 are reversed. It works. (5.0.1) So i think it is safe to assume i2c and spi are working, just need someone with better experience with the spi LCD to find the right DT configuration for the mainline 5.0.y .

Frank Kettenbeil Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Update: I checked out from the original repo now. Works like a charm. - Was using Krachlatte's fork before and this was not maintained any more... Now on bionic desktop. -- Hi all, I've been watching this thread for some time now and tried myself to work with armbian build tools. Got u-boot and the message "booting kernel" - afterwards the screen (HDMI) went blank. Only some LEDs still flickered (also Ethernet), but no DHCP address was assigned by my router - so I could not see, if anything is up or reach the Opi3. Can anyone point me to a link, where I see, if and how to apply any userpatches or anything else for this device? Or is already everything updated regulary when I call "compile.sh"? Thanks for your support! Best regards 0 Quote
megi Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 I have a working Orange Pi 3 branch here: https://github.com/megous/linux I haven't tried HDMI yet, but most of the other stuff works, incl. ethernet. 0 Quote

Since I'm preparing Armbian-DEV to switch to 5.0.y, I've simply added it to OPiLite2 and OPiOne+, and it works (at least in plain text console) ! 3 Quote

Great job. I've built Armbian_5.77_Orangepi3_Ubuntu_bionic_dev_5.0.1_desktop, and I finally can see the potential of this SoC. It now outperforms all my other quad-core SBC's. Thermals are ok, even without a fan it's very workable. It does seem that the heat can't dissipate well into the heatsink, I think this SoC is a bit too small. With a short 7z benchmark is quickly goes up to 75°C. But the heatsink doesn't warm up. When done it immediatly goes back to 45°C. So it can't deliver the heat into the heatsink. Maximum display resolution is 1024x768. On-board wifi doesn't work, but my dongles worked immediatly. Also no hdmi sound. Just for fun I tried Youtube. And it plays great in 1080p with Firefox. Don't know if this would be the same with a true 1080p display resolution. I'm very happy seeing a better performing image for it. What a difference with the images from Orange Pi. The SoC could use a metal casing to better dissipate the heat, otherwise it looks good. Thank you. 3 Quote

jernej Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 It seems that OrangePi 3 has DDC_CEC_EN signal (pin PH2), which has to be enabled in order to read out EDID. Can someone try to enable it by hand and then re-plug hdmi to see if it helps? Correct solution would be to extend HDMI driver with additional DDC power supply or gpio property, like it's done here: https://github.com/Icenowy/linux/commits/h6-hdmi (IMO power supply is more appropriate solution). 3 Quote

Frank Kettenbeil Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) So running my Opi3 on Armbian_5.77_Orangepi3_Ubuntu_bionic_dev_5.0.1_desktop.img works stable with HDMI@1024/768, . @martinayotte: Thank you very much for your work! I saw now, that - eth0 connection is still on 10 Mbps (is there anything we could do about this?) - wlan interface is not available - but there seems to be an implementation for H6 already - could we use this in any way? - Bluetooth is not available - Sound is not available Furthermore I was not able to install docker up to now on top of this image - is there any restriction doing so, or can you provide any pointer to a working docker solution? Update 21.3.19: found out now, that docker can easily be installed in armbian-config. BTW if you have any needs, please feel free to download the bionic image file from (new build from 20.3.19:) https://cloud.multivalenzen.de/s/2k36y6QeHrnZHbx build outdated - no longer available!

ImmortanJoe Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 I don't know the usual method for rebooting the Allwinner chipsets in Linux. I know the H3 had a register for it, but could also be reset by configuring the mode of the watchdog timer to reset, setting the WDT and letting it trip. Could that work in H6? 0 Quote
