H6 Famous Reboot problem

Hi everyone !

 

I'm starting this new dedicated thread because I've got some new headache about this issue that we tried to figured out since months...

 

I've received my PineH64 last week, and with this board I don't faced the reboot hang behaviour !

 

Today, since I've committed the OPi3 WIP scripts, and facing same reboot hang, I've decided to to try booting PineH64 image on this OPi3 board, but unfortunately reboot hang still occurs ...

 

This brings me to a conclusion that it is not a software issue, but maybe hardware one ... I will dig on that during next few days by comparing PMIC and other between all those boards ...

 

But I remember that @jernej said that Reboot worked on one of his H6 board ...

@jernej can you confirm which board ? Do you have some boards where you still face reboot hang issue ? Can you try to mix image like I did to give clues ?

If rtl ephy is powered by two power supplies, they need to be enabled at the same time, otherwise it will fail (maybe not always, but it may). I've seen DTS files flying around that have this wrong and insert power up delays in wrong places. I only work on Orange Pi 3 though, so I have no concrete input on what other baords do.

I will verify that it still true with "old school /etc/network/interface" , and then I will also confirm that it is working the same way on OPi3.

I seems the workaround is working for "old school /etc/network/interface", and this is also true for OPi3.

 

Even if we don't have complete understanding, I think I will commit the DWMAC-SUN8I change in defconfig into Armbian ...

You need also to rmmod the MAC module (something like dwmac-sun8i) it's him who manage the phy-supply.

 

rmmod phy && rmmod mac
modprobe mac (should also modprobe the phy)

 

 

hmm current modules lis ( below ),

the dwmac-sun8i reports : "  rmmod: ERROR: Module dwmac_sun8i is builtin. " 

# thus not a module as it seems

If you read my previous posts, it require to recompile the kernel with DWMAC-SUN8I as module.

Since I've done it and tested succesffuly, I've just committed the change in Armbian, so simply redo a new build ...

Works for me!

 

Spoiler

$ ansible orangepioneplus.angrybear2.local -m reboot --become

    "changed": true,
    "elapsed": 57,
    "rebooted": true

yes I did not browse carefully enough, apologies.

However therefore the ghost vanished from our machines ( OpiOnePlus and Opi3 ),

Suppose configuring this kernel setting from built in to Module is not a bad idea in general?

I can concur, 

well done all, appreciate your efforts!

Awesome news. And everyone can still be an old school guy using interfaces file :wub::lol:

 

certainly just execute: 

root@orangepioneplus:~# systemctl disable NetworkManager

root@orangepioneplus:~#ip a |grep ether
link/ether 00:2d:fd:1e:f1:e1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff  # take note of MAC address

root@orangepioneplus:~#vi /etc/network/interfaces

## add or update in to /etc/network/interfaces.d/
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.10.200
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.10.1
dns-nameservers 192.168.10.2 192.168.10.1
hwaddress ether 00:2d:fd:1e:f1:e1


root@orangepioneplus:~# reboot   
# wait 5 secs and reconnect to IP address set

root@orangepioneplus:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
# tada!

 

you guys don't even realise how perfect this weekend started,

once again cheers for all your efforts, it is appreciated a lot!

@martinayotte how to change repo? I have tried but build failed once i change branch  in source config. Also while testing @megous kernel i noticed that cpu max freq was 1.49, i guess there is some patch for dtb file which needs to be applied durring compile of dbt  as it had made that scale down change in freq

Right, once switched, there are few patches fo fix to get the build completed ...

I've not seen that, both 5.0.y and 5.1.y have the OPP up to 1.80MHz, check with "cpufreq-info" ...

You don't need to specify hwaddress if you use kernel 5.0 or later, as the changing mac address was addressed.

As I dont have a " USB To TTL Serial UART STC Cable " yet I tried the HDMI output instead which reveals no output to screen ( also not after power cycling the device: WIP I suppose ).

Yet I will await the nightly image, although I do not expect miracles to happen as what would be the different from images just built  ....

 

 

Read an interesting commit in kernel 5.0.8 rgd H6 although not related to reboot issue, interesting fix imho rgd HDMI.

Would it be possible to incorporate this kernel in dev images ( which can be build manually ) please?

  

<snip snip>

    drm/sun4i: DW HDMI: Lower max. supported rate for H6
        commit cd9063757a227cf31ebf5391ccda2bf583b0806e upstream.
    
    Currently resolutions with pixel clock higher than 340 MHz don't work
    with H6 HDMI controller. They just produce a blank screen.
    
    Limit maximum pixel clock rate to 340 MHz until scrambling is supported.
    
    Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 5.0
    Fixes: 40bb9d3147b2 ("drm/sun4i: Add support for H6 DW HDMI controller")

<snip snip>

i guess everyone can do this, it is just time question. If you are more experienced on that subject then you do it faster.

 

have you seen this post ?

sunxi64-dev is currently based on megous orangepi-5.0 kernel branch and gets frequently upstream patches merged.  So if this patch makes it into mainline kernel it will become available in this branch as well.

dwmac-sun8i 5020000.ethernet eth0: Could not attach to PHY
dwmac-sun8i 5020000.ethernet eth0: stmmac_open: Cannot attach to PHY (error: -19)

 

This error is coming up. I have tried downgrading and regardless getting the same error.

 

eth0 is not working anymore.
