Orangepi2/plus2/PC H3 Linux mainline support

tdack

When i apply the WIP USB patches from sunxi-wip branch of @jwrdegoede to my linux-next branch with the V4 patches from @jemk then it works.

Fritz, can you point me to the linux-next branch that you are using?  I assume that the V4 patches are coming from the linux-sunxi mailing list?

Just to make sure I've got things in the right order:

1. Grab linux-next source
2. Apply jwrdegoede/linux-sunxi sunxi-wip patches for H3 USB support
3. Apply jemk H3 V4 patches from linux-sunxi mailing list
4. Profit, only with GPIO though

Update ...

Using @jwrdegoede/u-boot-sunxi/sunxi-wip and @jwrdegoede/linux-sunxi/sunxi-wip I've now managed to get a full kernel boot.

@tdack
You can safely remove ehci2/ohci2 from the sun8i-h3-orangepi-plus.dts. port2 is not used on opi plus, there are only 2 test-pads (DM2-DP2)
And ohci1, ohci3 should not be needed to.

OK, USB works now!

PS. This should work with all opis with H3 soc, maybe rename the thread in:
Mainline linux kernel support for the H3 or something else.

tdack

Fritz, could you say what kernel sources you are using and where you are getting them from?

Hans has applied some patches relating to USB and some from Jens to his sunxi-wip branch but I can't get a kernel to boot fully.  It hangs at "Registering SWP/SWPB emulation handling"
It also looks like it is having trouble finding/bringing up the voltage regulators for USB.

In other news it looks like H3 support is making its way into U-Boot mainline http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git ... 928665d26edab8429e4

fritz

Can confirm.U-boot mainline now works without patches.

Today I have builded from sunxi-wip (Hans) and it works correctly.

If you want to try with other branches like linux-next you need to patch it.
The only branch that actually has all patches included is @Hans sunxi-wip branch.

A new u boot sounds good.
Will a mainline u boot make it easier to change resolutions for hdmi monitors without having to reboot?
Will this new u boot support a keyboard and mouse and will people make a gui interface for it like with a normal bios?

tdack

The current H3 support in mainline U-Boot is just enough to get a kernel with a device tree booted plus a serial console.  I'd guess more features will be added as mainline kernel support for the H3 improves and people port the features from the SDK to the newer U-boot and kernel.

I am layman
but I'm eager to learn
this means that plate H3 will eloluir way A20 and follow signs?

giacomo892

Any kernel available to test it out?

Hi all.
I have two Orange PI PC Boards that i buyed two weeks ago and i am struggling since then to boot this devices following the source build steps in the Wiki.

I was able to compile everything based on the WIKI HowTo http://www.orangepi.org/Docs/Building.html and got all the needed Files like u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin, uImage, orangepi.bin, modules/3.4.XX in the build directory, but for some strange reason i am not able to boot my Orange PI PCs following all the needed build and flashing steps.

Can somebody please tell me the newest updated HowTo Source Build and Flashing Steps for u-boot, u-tools. sunxi-kernel and so on
from the beginning to the end that are proved to work so i am able finally able to boot my Orange PI Pcs and see some Output over hdmi on my Screen?

Thanks a lot in advance for the Help!
