Openwrt Designated Driver (Trunk) Build for Orange Pi PC/Pi Plus

adheybgz

i try plug usb ethernet it looks like to be working (blinking lights) ,. how do i get into this device. telnet or ssh ? if so. what the ip addrs of the device (opi pc)  

Demetris

It should be reachable at 192.168.1.1

I tried your OPI+ image today:

Nevertheless after booting no single LED is lit on and the board is inaccessible neither through WiFi, not ethernet port.

Could any progress be made?

Also, could you advise the way the images are built from sources?

Forgot to mention, that mouse LED was lit on. All the rest is switched off and the board is inaccessible.

Demetris

Sorry cant help you much with Opi-Plus as i don’t own the board but i will check if Ethernet driver is enabled in source and recompile.

It seems that Openwrt does not boot on my Orangepi PC.The light on board is not flashing(the red light).How can I solve this?

Hi,Demetris. Image that you posted is very promising ,with ethernet support it wil be good i'l try it now  on OPI PC

Hi,

I look at src, it 's seem there is no definition of ethernet hardware in sun8i-h3.dtsi so start hard thing for novice like me!
With help of the hard work of Loboris, I notice the ethernet hardware use gmac driver and on openwrt side (sun6i-a31.dtsi) i find the same register address base, also same in sunxi_geth.h (loboris working kernel) :

1. #if defined(CONFIG_ARCH_SUN8I)
   
2. #define GETH_BASE                0x01c30000

Copy code

So maybe we can verify register used in sun6i-a31.dtsi (openwrt) with exelent Loboris work on ethernet support and try to make it work on H3?
Maybe there is another hardware difference...

How to find the equivalent dtsi information (register) in loboris kernel? I look for about OTG because the datasheet of H3 is empty for this section

For compilation of trunk Openwrt, there is no complication or hard thing, just update to lastest openwrt and be patient for compiling toolchain
5 Hours on my old laptop
Be sure you have 1G free ram for compiling big binary like gcc5.2 and don't use -j 2 if you haven't 2G ram free for toolchain compilation. You wiil need at least 10GB of HDD space, 20GB is safety ;)
Testing from ubuntu14.04 32 bit

1. svn update
   
2. ./scripts/feeds update -a
   
3. 
   
4. make menuconfig
   
5. 
   
6. ---> select sunxi
   
7.         ---> Target Profile (orangepi_plus)
   
8. make defconfig

Hi I give a try to make ethernet with PHY internal to work,,,if someone want to try?
Experimental purpose, it's compile but I didnt try it maybe your board will explode
Modification : change IRQ according datasheet, add gmac and try to activate it, add reset for internal PHY.
I think the stmmac driver (dwmac-sunxi.c) can be work and one guy say gmac is working but no ethernet
This driver is already enable in kernel configuration (make kernel_menuconfig - type / to find where is stmmac)
I see that in datasheet and maybe it's a problem :

1. EMAC Clock Register defaut value (H3 datasheet V1.1 page 153)
   
2. 0b1011000000000000000 --- 0x58000
   
3. CLK_SEL 24mhz = 1 (in the stmmac driver, there is a define for 25mhz...)
   
4. led POL high active = 0
   
5. shutdown = 1 (bit 16) (I add a reset way in dtsi to powerup internal ethernet...)
   
6. Internal PHY = 1

Copy code

Just

1. make kernel/linux/{clean,prepare}

Copy code

for patching all the dts files (generating) and prepare the build without building.

Editing/remplace 2 files : sun8i-h3.dtsi and sun8i-h3-orangepi-plus.dts in trunk/build_dir/target-arm_cortex-a8+vfpv3_musl-1.1.12_eabi/linux-sunxi/linux-4.4/arch/arm/boot/dts/
