OMG, the new H3 based Banana Pi M2+ without programmable VDD_CPUX reaches 90¡C with not that heavy workloads even at the lowest configured clockspeed (648 MHz, no heatsink, ambient temp at 23¡C). Seems this is the first H3 SBC where killing CPU cores instead of throttling might be a good idea

topi`: you need to enable i2c nodes in devicetree, then you will be avle to use /dev/i2c-# char devices to control devices on the i2c bus. you may also need to setup appropriate pin functions using pinctrl, if it's not done already in h3.dtsi
<megi>
topi`: that's for the mainline kernel

ssvb: congrats, the new cpuburn-a7 version reliably turns BPi M2+ into a single core board :)

tkaiser: permanently?
<tkaiser>
plaes: Will take longsleep's core-keeper service and implement it in Armbian. Otherwise the cores do not come back.
<tkaiser>
Kind of fascinating. SinoVoip copies 99% of the board design from Xunlong and the one percent they did on their own... is crap.
<tkaiser>
plaes: Normally a reboot is needed to bring the cores back
<topi`>
megi: is this (enabling i2c nodes in dt) the reason why i2cdetect finds nothing even though I know the Camera module I have plugged in is interfaced via i2c?
<topi`>
for all the dev addresses that i2cdetect is probing through

topi`: are you using 3.4 kernel?
<topi`>
Linux OrangePI 3.4.39-01-lobo #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Oct 25 14:46:41 CET 2015 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux
<topi`>
it seems so :(
khuey is now known as khuey|away
<topi`>
this was the only kernel I actually got working on this damn OPi PC
<megi>
if so, you may need to configure i2c in the fex file, it's called twi there, depending on which one you're using, H3 has 4 I2C interfaces, and one is disabled by default, i think
<tkaiser>
topi`: Using Armbian?
<megi>
topi`: or just try different i2c port
<megi>
topi`: I've only used i2c on orange pi pc on mainline kernel, so I'll probably will not be of much help

tkaiser: I tried armbian, but that image didn't boot (nothing on HDMI) so I switched to this loboris image
<topi`>
ok, anyone here with OPi PC? which image do I need to grab?
<topi`>
it seems there is "official" Orange PI PC H3 there on armbian.com downloads now
<tkaiser>
topi`: That was Armbian 5.04, HDMI worked later on but camera still doesn't. So I just wanted to save you some time. With loboris' 15.04 Ubuntu Mate image the camera works even if you don't detect it with i2cdetect
<topi`>
at that time, there wasn't, and I was directed towards some alpha image
<topi`>
tkaiser: yeah, I can confirm the camera works. So, if I want the camera, I cannot use mainline?
<topi`>
I guess I need to put the i2c thermo on a different OPi PC then :)
<NiteHawk>
ah, nevermind - you have to use www.banana-pi.org - and seems it's just horribly unreliable...
<tkaiser>
NiteHawk: Unreliable? You mean SinoVoip? ;)
<NiteHawk>
naaah... can't be :D
<NiteHawk>
maybe we should swap it with the bananapi.com link i added at the bottom - that one seems a bit more responsive
<tkaiser>
NiteHawk: Strange, both sites are now hosted somewhere @ Amazon. And I don't care at all whether their product pages are accessible or not (better)
<NiteHawk>
tkaiser: true. they should learn to get their sh** straight - just not gonna happen, probably
<longsleep>
lennyraposo: i usually read the backlog, so just write and i might eventually reply
<lennyraposo>
no worries mate
<lennyraposo>
I figured as much
<lennyraposo>
btw
<lennyraposo>
gonna try my hand at 720p image build
<lennyraposo>
soome people are not running 1080p in some instances
<lennyraposo>
I guess the idela thing would be to get somethign that works with multiple resolutions
<lennyraposo>
I emailed tllim about getting supported video modes
<lennyraposo>
up to the 4k spec
<lennyraposo>
seeing as he will be in asia soon ;)
<lennyraposo>
and asked abotu boot0 once again
<longsleep>
lennyraposo: yeah well, it should be possible to change the resolution after u-boot

I will play with it tonight
<lennyraposo>
will test fbset
<lennyraposo>
and get xorg to play nice ;)
<longsleep>
lennyraposo: i am pretty happy with the 2GB model, it works nice and fast, started backporting zswap and zram to the Kernel. After that i will do Ubuntu Snappy 16.04.
<lennyraposo>
nice
<lennyraposo>
peopel are reporting network perforamnce issues
<lennyraposo>
btu I am pondering if they are using your latest image
<longsleep>
lennyraposo: yeah, cannot confirm that just posted some stats in the forum
<longsleep>
lennyraposo: well, the NIC seems to be picky about switches and after all the driver is total crap as well
<lennyraposo>
should be working liek the 1gb model
<lennyraposo>
could be just that
<lennyraposo>
I have had no issues one my tester here
<lennyraposo>
the audio issue is bothering me
<lennyraposo>
as everything plays from teh link you gave me
<longsleep>
ok, thats a start
<lennyraposo>
but no matter what I do config wise to alsa it never ssticks
<longsleep>
then try mplayer via pulse
<lennyraposo>
been using pulse for playback ;)
<longsleep>
ok good
<lennyraposo>
lsiteniign to mp3s without issue
<lennyraposo>
but I have to got to alsamixer and set the card to sndhdmi after every reboot
<lennyraposo>
it's the weirdest thing
<longsleep>
mhm, /etc/asound.conf should do the trick
<lennyraposo>
did that
<lennyraposo>
set to primary device to card 1 and card 0 as fallback ;)
<longsleep>
well, might be a bug in Xenial as well, after all its not released yet
<lennyraposo>
same goes for Jessie
<lennyraposo>
I am certain it's alsa in this case
<longsleep>
mhm ok
<lennyraposo>
or perhaps
* longsleep
is afk for a couple of hours
<lennyraposo>
take care mate
<lennyraposo>
gonna try blacklisting next

friends
<oneinsect>
Can someone please guide me on how to make Allwinner h3 kernel + uboot with custom modloop
<oneinsect>
i am trying to boot alpine linux generic arm image
<jelle>
huh is the nanopi an orange pi one but different!
<jelle>
it does have more features
<jelle>
oneinsect: there does not seem to be anything on the sunxi wiki about it, so you could add an entry
<oneinsect>
nanopi m1 is same as (almost) orange pi one
<oneinsect>
well i can add an entry jelle:
<oneinsect>
but i need to understand how to first do it
<oneinsect>
any ideas?
<oneinsect>
i want to boot alpine linux on orange pi one or nanopi m1
<jelle>
oneinsect: use the orange pi pc config from u-boot and the then get all the mainline H3 kernel patches + the orange pi pc dts file and compile a kernel
<oneinsect>
seems i need a h3 kernel (mainline) + h3 uboot (mainline) and somehow tie to the userspace of alpine linux
<jelle>
yes
<lennyraposo>
looks like fbset can be used ;)
<oneinsect>
great so I can use armbian for it...since it helps me compile them both...where I am lost is after compile mainline h3 with dts...
<oneinsect>
how do i tie the alpine linux rootfs to it?
<oneinsect>
it uses a strange vmlinuz + initramfs + modloop
<jelle>
I don't have a clue how normal alpine images look like
<jelle>
kinda suprised alpine has arm
tsuggs has joined #linux-sunxi
<oneinsect>
can you take a look and suggest? http://www.alpinelinux.org/downloads/ they are basically using vmlinuz (kernel) with some initramfs config and boot into tmpfs
<oneinsect>
basically everything is RAM only
<jelle>
oh then I have less of a clue
<oneinsect>
hmmm
<oneinsect>
jelle:
<oneinsect>
boot sequence would typically -> uboot -> kernel and uboot would then load kernel+initramfs+dtb
<oneinsect>
thats for a typical alpine linux arm port
<jelle>
I just dump a zImage / dtbs files and a boot.scr
<jelle>
for my arch mainline images
<oneinsect>
hmm well i can even go without alpine linux but the main requirement it to run it in live mode (and not to make it write to sdcard)
<oneinsect>
it that possible
<oneinsect>
with arch?
<jelle>
well everything is possible with every distro right?
<oneinsect>
hmmm

<plaes>
snapdragon ones?
<tkaiser>
oneinsect: No idea. I did not even know that something like Alpine Linux exists
<oneinsect>
lol
<jelle>
it comes with a lot of musl(ce) :p
<oneinsect>
well i have been running it on r-pi for over 2 years with out a single sd card crash over 100 units
<oneinsect>
i like its design...it doesnt touch the sdcard
<oneinsect>
works from ram only
<oneinsect>
debian crashes at time during power recycles
<oneinsect>
or some random reboots
<oneinsect>
during*
<tkaiser>
oneinsect: Sorry, but that's wrong. 95% of all complaints about 'Armbian' being slow or crashing are related to crappy PSUs and crappy SD cards
<oneinsect>
correct
<buZz>
tkaiser: ah cool, didnt see mentioned anywhere that they had 64bit userlands and kernels for it
<oneinsect>
i dont blame deb...i love it...but i have no control over sd card quality
<oneinsect>
especially at the places i live where electricity is hard to come by
