Support for Orange Pi PC Plus (h3 already supported)

Thomas131 · February 5, 2019, 7:27pm

Hi!
I have pretty much Linux-Experience as Admin, but none in Kernel-Development.

How difficult would it be to add support for the OrangePi PC Plus? I imagine that it won't be that difficult since the board has pretty good Linux support in Armbian and there are OpenWRT supported H3-Boards.

I just tried to add the board for my own. I basically searched for all occurences of "OrangePi" in the source-code and added the PC Plus where needed:

To be honest, I can't find the .dts-files ... Where are they? Or are they downloaded on-the-fly?

I did
touch target/linux/*/Makefile
Still it doesn't show up in make menuconfig. Anyone interested in adding board-support?

Anyone interested in adding support or helping me doing it on my own?
Thanks in advance!
Thomas

Btw: target/linux/sunxi/base-files/etc/board.d/02_network looks a bit empty for the sunxi-boards. WLAN-Support only on one board? Am I wrong?

Allwinner/ sunxi is a relatively generic target with very good any active upstream/ mainline support, adding devices (of an already supported sub-target/ SOC) to it should indeed be mostly a matter of providing the correct DTS and image generation code. The DTS is ideally provided by the upstream/ mainline kernel, if it isn't there (yet), you may have to provide it yourself (the sunxi target seems to use upstream backports (patches) here, see target/linux/sunxi/patches-4.14/220-ARM-dts-orange-pi-zero-plus.patch as an example).

Keep in mind that OpenWrt is currently stil based on (the LTS-) kernel 4.14, which might mean you'll have to backport more basic device support for your device (or wait/ switch to 4.19 for your personal porting).

There's support for 4.19 in the tree which works, haven't checked if there's a the Orange Pi PC Plus dts file however in the Linux kernel tree however.

olek210 · February 23, 2019, 9:43pm

DTS file is downloaded with kernel.

This patch add Opi One and PC Plus boards with kernel 4.19:

Compiles without errors. Can you test it with Opi PC Plus?

Sorry, I had no time ;(

Thank you VERY MUCH!! Boots like a charm! (but was difficult to find the board since I didn't think looking into "Allwinner A20/A3x" as the subtarget since I don't know how much h3 and A20 have in common ...)
WiFi isn't detected, yet ... but here I can maybe also put some effort into it when I have time.

THANKS!!

You can try compile this driver. I have only Orange Pi One and this board doesn't have wifi.

Thomas131 · March 4, 2019, 10:30pm

It didn't really work, but maybe it compiled wrong ...
I have the armbian-repo here:
~/opt/2/openwrt/

I cloned the driver here:
~/opt/2/openwrt/build_dir/target-arm_cortex-a7+neon-vfpv4_musl_eabi/linux-sunxi_cortexa7/rtl8189ES_linux

and make this build-command:
make -j4 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- KSRC=../linux-4.19.24/

On the router it produced this: https://pastebin.com/Ht7VXQrq

Still thanks very much!!
Thomas

The Status Matrix for the sunxi Linux mainlining effort s a good place to see what features newer kernels enable or which are still missing for the various Allwinner boards as OpenWRT adopts mainline kernel

http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort

I found most useful the CPUFreq (DVFS) feature on 4.18 for H3 recently

I use mine for 802.11s mesh so use USB wifi dongles instead of the missing or not working onboard wifi

e.g. Nano Pi NEO

Thomas131 · March 11, 2019, 8:14pm

Wifi works on Armbian which probably uses the mainline kernel, too ...

I compiled another time:

PATH=$PATH:~/opt/2/openwrt/staging_dir/toolchain-arm_cortex-a7+neon-vfpv4_gcc-7.4.0_musl_eabi/bin
export PATH
STAGING_DIR=~/opt/2/openwrt/staging_dir/toolchain-arm_cortex-a7+neon-vfpv4_gcc-7.4.0_musl_eabi
export STAGING_DIR
cd opt/2/openwrt/build_dir/target-arm_cortex-a7+neon-vfpv4_musl_eabi/linux-sunxi_cortexa7/rtl8189ES_linux/
make clean
make -j6 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-openwrt-linux-muslgnueabi- KSRC=../linux-4.19.24/ KVER=4.19.24

The Compiler-Warnings: https://pastebin.com/9T2DdGmq

Another time some stack-problem on insmod: https://pastebin.com/DvJQRiEH

Enough for tonight ...
Thomas

leventelist · April 27, 2021, 9:14am

Did you manage to compile and use the wifi adapter?

Thomas131 · May 13, 2021, 7:14pm

No sorry, I didn't. But I don't use the OPi as Router anymore.
