One core is probably because SVC mode. I have hacked u-boot to switch cpu into HYP mode before launching the kernel, but for some reason u-boot no longer booting the device.

I tweaked u-boot from this repo https://github.com/loboris/OrangePI-Kernel

Then I wrote resulting .bin to the sd card with

dd if=u-boot-sun8i7w1.bin of=/dev/sdX bs=1024 seek=32

But that didn't work. Probably I also need spl, but for some reason it doesn't build.

Has anyone tried any new version of u-boot? Or why this particular version is being used?

Thanks

igorpec

This u-boot came from here:
https://github.com/allwinner-zh/bootloader

script.bin support is there but haven't try if it works. Loboris does not use it.

There is a bit better patch out: http://moinejf.free.fr/opi2/u-boot.patch
script.bin and uEnv.txt

I don't know for any other at the moment - am also playing with it ... not much luck either. I need to add a boot script support to match my standard boot procedure.

Jens has done job on the mainline U-boot, but nothing since August. Anyway, the problem is not the boot: the mainline kernel does not support fully the Allwinner SoCs.

I started from Jens' patch series (May 2015) and modified it for the kernel 4.3.
Below is today's result. My machine is an OPI2 (the machine name is the one of the DT) booting from the lichee u-boot. There are only 2 drivers: UART and MMC. With the kernel 4.2, I could log in. Now, systemd crashes. I'll look at this tomorrow...

I'm a little confused, this thread Orange PI with 4.2.2 and 3.4.109 is about orange PI = A20 Soc and not orange pi2/plus/pc = H3.
Is this correct or I'm wrong?

igorpec

You are right and wrong ;)

Armbian / this thread / image / project doesn't support H3 ... we are just researching possibilities. Maybe it's time to (try) to make some progress.

One core is probably because SVC mode. I have hacked u-boot to switch cpu into HYP mode before launc ...

You need to patch uboot - add a script.bin to it, otherwise no go. It would be nice to resolve what this tool actually do.http://linux-sunxi.org/H3_Manual_build_howto


# Patch U-Bootpctools/linux/mod_update/update_uboot out/u-boot.fex out/sys_config.bin

I build uboot from original source + compiler patch (that i can compile with standard compiler) and it's working as is ... but to fix all what's needed / expected looks like a lot of work? Already spent 1000 USD in R&D

And stops. Looks like I have an error somewhere. Will leave it for the weekend...
