H3 boards with Allwiner source code

pgauret

Thanks again Fritz, I'll give it a shot.

You seem to have already made a lot of progress with this board. Just being curious have you already tried the mainline kernel with the recent h3 patches? I could get it booting but am still missing key pieces:
- wifi : trying to make the mainline RTLWIFI driver work, though not sure it supports SDIO. Plan B is to build from the Realtek provided sources.
- ethernet : no luck getting the STMMAC driver to work. Haven't tried much though.
- SMP : for now kernel only spins up one CPU. Something else I'd need to look into.
- eMMC : wonder if there's anything in u-boot to support it.

I am documenting all the required steps and quirks encountered, at some point I guess I should add it to the Orange Pi Plus entry on the linux-sunxi wiki.

I couldn't get the GMAC to work on my Orange Pi until a found a BananaPi patch for the PHY.  The sunxi-linux site mentions it.  Perhaps this applies to the OPI+.

I've tried to include my commit in this post but the result is too long for the forum (10000 char limit).

Cheers,

If You need the "right" configuration:

unzip and rename it sys_config.fex

pgauret,
what is your current status?

Do you have updated configure file?
Did you already add networking support?

Thank you.

Oh sorry I solved error

But gen enother ))

Hi,

I assume you're trying to compile u-boot.  I hit the same problem with the missing directories.  I had to go up two levels in the directory structure then create the pack and tools, etc. directories.

Sorry but I can' get at my system at the moment or see your post to give a more specific answer.  But I remember it was easy to fix once I looked at the error message.

Thanks for the tip about PLATFORM_RELFLAGS.  I hit the same link error.

Cheers,
Steven
