Whats wrong? Has anybody this same issue? What I could to do?

Nothing. You are using developers versions, which do break sometimes completely.

Ok. Thank you.

I have "solved" it temporally using freeze option in armbian-config.

FYI: The current nightly Armbian_5.86.190511_Orangepilite2_Debian_stretch_dev_5.1.0.7z does not work yet on the lite2.

It freezes on boot.

Great, thank you. I'll post in case I encounter any issues.

Just tried the current nightly. Lite2 boots, however Wifi is not working. I can see some of the networks on 2.4GHz, no 5GHz. Connecting is not possible.

System keeps spawning messages:

I've found the glitch : missing "regulator-always-on;" on both "cldo2" and "cldo3".

Perfect, thank you!

So it'll be online in the coming nightly, right?! I'll try tomorrow and let you know!

Should this also fix the not working NIC again? I have downloaded Armbian 5.86.190514 for the One Plus but NIC was not just working.

But Good Catch !

The status was "disabled" and "phy" missing ...

Sorry for interrupt. But the Orange Pi One Plus does not have USB 3.0 ports. The H6 processor support USB 3 but it's not implemented (sadly) in the One Plus. But when in plug this Ugreen USB 3 NIC in the USB 2 adapter of the Orpi One Plus it works like a charm. Speed with iperf3 arround the 220Mbps. The USB 3 version works with Axis AX88179.

 

Edit: sorry you could have of course a Orpi 3. Btw maybe not enough power on the USB hub? Does the hub support external power?

[data]

Dear Martin,

 

I am pleased to let you know, that the recent nightly from today works fine on the lite2!

Thank you and all others here who contributed very much!

 

Further, I can enable now uart1 and it shows up. I just was not able yet to set up bluetooth.

Will post my results in the according thread.

 

Keep up the good work!!

Hi

the last build, 

https://dl.armbian.com/orangepi3/nightly/Armbian_5.86.190515_Orangepi3_Ubuntu_bionic_dev_5.1.0.7z

 

... my in OrangePi3+emmc-2GBram, can't boot correctly.

 

I'm using the hdmi-> vga adapter that they sell in the orangepi store on aliexpress and their original 3A power supply.

I get black screen and continuous reboot every 30-40 seconds.
I have no way to debug and give more information. I think it's a panic kernel and the system reboot automatically.

My display is a lcd - 1440x900_60 from LG

 

I have also installed in the 8GB internal mmc the version
https://dl.armbian.com/orangepi3/nightly/Armbian_5.82.190423_Orangepi3_Ubuntu_bionic_dev_5.0.7.7z
and it works correctly after some minor tweaks. (no reboot, no black screen)

I think we should set the default resolution of the console to 1024x768 and not a higher one, in the case that is what causes the black screen. Not everyone has a 1080p display

NIC is just back active but a new problem is introduced. It got contineusly new MAC adresses even when i select a static ipadress...  I think its a problem with the mac adress of the buildin 100NIC like the OrangePi One H3 and the external Realtek Link H6?

 

 

 

On the Sunxi wikipage is also the following spec:

'NetworkGBit MAC, integrated 10/100M PHY'

 

Don't know what only a gbit mac is. but probapply is there now a physical 1000Mbit mac from the realtek chip and from the H6 itself? Found also this in the datasheet.

We had a fix done almost 2 months ago, by adding missing alias in DT, but it seems that this was lost during the switch from 5.0.y to 5.1.y ...

Fix committed : https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/7cd2f9ff58a5bb9e4b8296b32d8796fccbd0338b

And thank you very much again to you! So probaply in the comming nightly should it be fixed? If i found another strange things you should hear. XD

Yes ! But if you are familiar with decompiling/recompiling DT, you can easily add it yourself if you wish to try it out quickly ...

Hmm... Is there somewhere a short description?

 

There is also something else a little bit 'strange'. The max clockspeed is just 1488MHz. It was always 1888MHz?

First, install the DT compiler : http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/device-tree-compiler/device-tree-compiler_1.4.7-3_arm64.deb

Next, copy the /boot/dtb/allwinner/sun50i-h6-orangepi-one-plus.dtb into /boot/dtb/allwinner/sun50i-h6-orangepi-one-plus.dtb-ORIG as backup.

Third, decompile it into DTS :

dtc -@ -I dtb -O dts -o /root/sun50i-h6-orangepi-one-plus.dts-5.1.0 /boot/dtb/allwinner/sun50i-h6-orangepi-one-plus.dtb

Fourth, edit the file /root/sun50i-h6-orangepi-one-plus.dts-5.1.0 by adding this in the aliases node :  ethernet0 = "/soc/ethernet@5020000";

Fifth, recompile the DTB and reboot :

dtc -@ -I dts -O dtb -o /boot/dtb/allwinner/sun50i-h6-orangepi-one-plus.dtb /root/sun50i-h6-orangepi-one-plus.dts-5.1.0

About "cpu-freq", I don't really know, I'm not the expert on this one ...

[NicoD]

I've build Armbian_5.87_Orangepi3_Ubuntu_bionic_dev_5.1.3_desktop and it's clocked at 1.8Ghz.
But what is a problem is that there's no throttling happening. It goes over 95°C. I'm sure it would even go higher if I let the heatsink warm up fully.

Here a screenshot. The second time I run 7z b. 94°C and no throttling happening.

And is it possible to put those files needed for wifi in the correct place in the build?

Do you means "to avoid having to copy firmware files" ? I think so, but that wasn't yet a priority ...

Once it's been done nobody needs to care about it anymore.
It's just a small detail, but another step closer to a more finished product. 

I do think the throttling is more important. I can't advice anyone to use this without proper cooling. I'm using a heatsink and it goes over 95°C. I always stopped it at that temp. I'm sure it could go well over 100°C. Certainly with CPUMiner for example. Aren't there patches for throttling that were added to 5.0 but didn't reach 5.1? I remember us trying different throttle settings. If my very bad memory serves me right it was with @TonyMac32 for the PineH64 b. But could as well have been with @martinayotte for the OPi3. I can't find the posts of that.
It used to throttle at a too low temp. (I think 65/70°C) and that was changed to a higher temp. (My brain only memorize what it wants, all useless stuff that is...)
Tony also later added a frequency(1.64), and this is in the 5.1 for OPi3. Here's the post of that.

95 degrees celcius??? :O I got my H6 not higher than 30 degrees celsius with a simple fan and heatsink. Also when i run it before on 1.8GHz...

Could you try without the fan with a full load for 15 minutes? What image do you use?
The SoC can be easily cooled when using a fan. But I've got very bad results without.
And what do you mean with 30 degrees? In idle or maxed out?

30 degrees with standard use. Not fully idle or maxed. What tool did you use for a full load test?

I usually use blender. But 7zip is ok too. install it : sudo apt install p7zip-full
And to run it : 7z b

Run it a few times right behind each other. It doesn't max out the CPU completely. But even with that I'm getting 95°C after 2 runs.
For blender you download this file and unzip. Install blender, sudo apt install blender. Open Blender and open the cpu file of the downloaded files.
Then click render.
I use a taskbar app to see the temperature. You can use htop or so to do the same. I also wrote a simple program to do the same. As long as you keep an eye on the temp.

Do know that I'm using a dev 5.1 image. The 5.0 images should be throttling normally.
