<DC-IRC> [Discord] <amazingfate> @kwiboo Hi, for the orangepi3b mainline u-boot detects the board version and set env `fdtfile` to set kernel dtb. Does this env work for grub?
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <amazingfate> I have built opensuse image using mainline u-boot and kernel for orangepi3b. It seems that grub2 loads rk3566-orangepi-3b.dtb, which has gmac disabled: https://build.opensuse.org/projects/home:amazingfate:arm-jeos/packages/JeOS:JeOS-orangepi3b/repositories/images/binaries
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <koutsie> *opi3b discourse 🤔🤔*
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> So perhaps something wrong with the boot script?
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> Alright. It is an armbian issue. Armbian-install failed to copy the contents of /boot to the nvme. Copied over, adjusted uuid and it works. Didn't think about that earlier since I only had this issue with rk3588 boards before but no other socs
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> Fix for 3a sent
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <superkali> maybe the same issue is for copy to emmc?
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <superkali> Because i experienced a similar issue on nanopc t6 on emmc, after armbian-install on SPI and EMMC he didn't boot, only if i put img via dd on emmc
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> I don't have a eMMC handy to test
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <superkali> i waiting amazon deliver me the ssd 😦
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> I can try with BigTreeTech Pi 2
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> I also think that was an error reported on bigtreetech's repo
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> https://github.com/bigtreetech/CB2/issues/9
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> Hm next problem. Gpio pin 3 seems dead. Cannot detect edges when shorting to 3v3.
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <amazingfate> @kwiboo @rpardini I have sent a patch to enable CONFIG_MULTI_DTB_FIT for opi3b's uboot, which can let grub load the correct dtb
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <kwiboo> Thanks, will take a closer look later, possible need to add it for more boards
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <kwiboo> @amazingfate based on U-Boot documentation I am not sure `CONFIG_MULTI_DTB_FIT` should be needed, SPL already select correct FDT from the U-Boot FIT, will investigate the U-Boot code closer, my understanding is that `MULTI_DTB_FIT` is more for a kernel FIT with multiple DTBs, so the option could possible be useful for more/all boards
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <amazingfate> Here is the grub.cfg used by opensuse: https://paste.armbian.com/gitujetafe.bash. Opensuse doesn't use devicetree command to load kernel dtb, it just uses what u-boot is set.
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> ~~Hm next problem. Gpio pin 3 seems dead. Cannot detect edges when shorting to 3v3.~~
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> Never mind. Some don't have a pull down resistor, so they only work when shorted to ground.
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> DTB Patch to add gpio names for rock 3a. If anyone wants to bother sending upstream feel free to rewrite and do so

<DC-IRC> [Discord] <kwiboo> Thanks, do you have a boot log from U-Boot on your opi3b?, if I am not mistaken SPL should select correct FDT from FIT and am under impression it should not be needed in U-Boot proper, however CONFIG_MULTI_DTB_FIT possible allow to fix it if vendor SPL starts mainline U-Boot proper, I am mostly just trying to understand what I may have missed 🙂
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <amazingfate> Here is the boot log with `CONFIG_MULTI_DTB_FIT` enable: https://paste.armbian.com/udekomatep.vbnet. It is booting from emmc. When `CONFIG_MULTI_DTB_FIT` was disabled I was booting from sdcard and there is a mainline armbian on my emmc. I will test again with `CONFIG_MULTI_DTB_FIT` disabled.
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <amazingfate> @kwiboo sorry for your time, I should have a u-boot not setting fdt in spl on emmc, and that causes the issue. Now I flashed an image without `CONFIG_MULTI_DTB_FIT`, dtb is also set correctly: https://paste.armbian.com/idufiyuxuj.vbnet
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <amazingfate> I thought all u-boot stuffs were loaded from sdcard, so I did not remove the emmc
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <kwiboo> when `Xunlong Orange Pi 3B v1.1` (or `v2.1`) is shown SPL should have selected correct dtb, however in some situations it may not, if `MULTI_DTB_FIT` can assist help correct such situations, it would be good to enable, and also possible for kernel FIT
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <amazingfate> when I boot with `MULTI_DTB_FIT`, at first time the emmc module is not removed, spl complains error and not boot, so I remove the emmc module and then sd card can boot. so the config did not help
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <powerfull_17234> hello , i have a panther x2 helium miner (previulsly was a miner or hotspot) but now i've successfully installed armbian on it desktop version. so the only thing there is no hdmi or any video output for this sbc . i have configured it as a usb g_ether host for vnc to display its output does any one knows a better solution for this? i will be appertiated . because vnc is now like <clipped message>
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <powerfull_17234> direct hdmi out put its a bit laggy(i dont mean its not good)
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <powerfull_17234> and second i want to install gpu driver for it since it has a mali g52 gpu and rockchip rk 3566 chip. but i didnt found any package for driver related for this board.

<DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> I would try to build an image with mesa-vpu extension enabled.
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <powerfull_17234> thanks for the response
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <powerfull_17234> can i install mesa-vpu extension on this board or even compile it from source if the package is unavailible currently
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> extensions are meant to be used with the build framework. Id probably try something like this: `./compile.sh BOARD=panther-x2 BRANCH=current ENABLE_EXTENSIONS=mesa-vpu` and select Gnome DE from there since it works well with Wayland I think
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <powerfull_17234> ok now i have understanded
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <powerfull_17234> sir if you dont mind i have another question about a low - end device that runs android 7 with rockchip rk3066 i think.
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <powerfull_17234> it is a budget projector like a android box can armbian be ported to run on that hardware?
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <powerfull_17234> its product name is calus z8x pro
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> tvboxes and such are not discussed in chat. However you can state your question about it in forums.
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <powerfull_17234> ok sure , so thanks again
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <amazingfate> rk3566 doesn't need mesa-vpu because mali g52 is supported since mesa v22
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ioncube7221> On Radxa3E I am using Armbian Jammy. I cannot enable it? Any help in this regard
