have managed to backport to 5.4:

i added the timeout-loop (waiting for MT7531_SGMII_LINK_STATUS) from the other mt7531-phy-driver, but the driver seem to have same SGMII-timeout if loaded from local storage…

this loop seems to break functionality if sgmii is not initialized before (uboot tftp). I have reverted it and it works again. Retransmitts were caused by my local switch config (flowcontrol is disabled by default…after set to autonegotiate/on on both ports no retransmitts happen)

Ilya_Murav_jov · January 22, 2020, 12:01am

Hi Frank,

I tested your image with kernel 5.4+buster and wanted to get internet via Wifi (client mode!) for BPI-R64, but failed.

Is it possible to fix that?

I dont have /dev/rfkill, by the way, maybe that is the root cause. The same command at my computer x86 works (I get connection via Wifi).

I have not tested client-mode.maybe it is not implemented. You should ask in mt7622 wifi thread

frank-w · January 23, 2020, 9:28pm

Have you tried searching in menuconfig of kernel for rfkill? Imho there is such option…maybe it’s required for client mode

Ilya_Murav_jov · January 24, 2020, 8:14pm

Meanwhile I use your image with Debian. A little bit later I try to rebuild the thing

frank-w · February 1, 2020, 7:13am

@Ilya_Murav_jov have added rfkill to 5.4-main…clientmode works in my quick test

@jasmin have you an idea hoe to define pwm-gpio’s? [BPI-R64] Kernel-Development or maybe how to get poweroff working?

Ilya_Murav_jov · February 1, 2020, 8:26pm

Thanks, I’ll try.

Finally I managed to build and test 5.4-main branch, and with dkms built wireguard too.

sa@bpi-r64:~$ sudo ip link add dev wg0 type wireguard
sa@bpi-r64:~$ sudo wg
interface: wg0

Client tools I got from Debian testing, but wireguard.ko requires building. For convenience I used fpm to build linux-headers deb, and after recompling fixdep/modpost I got success, but it is long and errorprone.

After all I found another way to build:

ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE='ccache aarch64-linux-gnu-' make bindeb-pkg

and got almost at once

$ ls -1 *.deb
linux-headers-5.4.0-bpi-r64+_5.4.0-bpi-r64+-4_arm64.deb
linux-image-5.4.0-bpi-r64+_5.4.0-bpi-r64+-4_arm64.deb
linux-libc-dev_5.4.0-bpi-r64+-4_arm64.deb

At least linux-headers (the main target as it is needed for dkms) is usable. I think, after tweaking, it would be nice to put linux-headers.deb along other artifacts to https://github.com/frank-w/BPI-R2-4.14/releases with CI.

frank-w · February 1, 2020, 8:49pm

How did you create linux-headers deb from linux source of my repo? Imho version is wrong (should be 5.4.12+).

Ilya_Murav_jov · February 1, 2020, 9:11pm

As I said it was not an easy way:

git checkout 5.4-r64-main

bash build.sh build
bash build.sh cryptodev
bash build.sh pack

Is your current source located at /usr/src/linux-headers-5.4.0-bpi-r64-r64-main?

I thinking about adding it to build.sh (deb function). But it needs to be universal (kernelversion,source directory).

Ilya_Murav_jov · February 2, 2020, 8:07am

Yep:

sa@bpi-r64:~$ ls -lah /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build

I would recommend to make use of

$ grep -RE module.lds scripts
scripts/package/builddeb:(cd $srctree; find arch/$SRCARCH -name module.lds -o -name Kbuild.platforms -o -name Platform) >> "$objtree/debian/hdrsrcfiles"

to build linux-headers etc. make bindeb-pkg is officially documented and use it.

frank-w · February 2, 2020, 8:24am

I mean if it is source or target for deb creation…

afair buildeb does not work for crosscompile (binary package). can you give example for adding it to build.sh (function deb already contains versionstring)?

Ilya_Murav_jov · February 2, 2020, 9:58am

After some poking I got compatible linux-headers, I think:

$ bash build.sh build

imho it works, e.g. https://linux-sunxi.org/Mainline_Kernel_Howto#Specific_Debian_kernel_notes

Then, to make the kernel, use; substituting your cross compiler;:

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- deb-pkg

Note: if you want to build, but not start from scratch, the target bindeb-pkg does not do a clean first, whereas deb-pkg does.

I’ll later try to adapt to banana pi reality.

frank-w · February 2, 2020, 10:47am

“works” is relative it does not create an uImage and path for kernel-image is not the one used by bpi-images (/boot/bananapi/bpi-r*/linux/).

for r2 you need 32bit uImage/kernel with appended dtb
for r64 you need 32bit uImage with 64bit kernel and with dtb in dtb-folder

if we solve this we can use

ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE='ccache arm-linux-gnueabihf-' LOCALVERSION=-main make bindeb-pkg #r2
ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE='ccache aarch64-linux-gnu-' LOCALVERSION=-r64-main make bindeb-pkg #r64

after importconfig

but for linux-headers i can add it to build.sh/travis, if i found out how to build/upload only the headers-deb

scripts/Makefile.package:

KBUILD_PKG_ROOTCMD ?="fakeroot -u"

deb-pkg:
        $(MAKE) clean
        $(CONFIG_SHELL) $(srctree)/scripts/package/mkdebian
        $(call cmd,src_tar,$(KDEB_SOURCENAME))
        origversion=$$(dpkg-parsechangelog -SVersion |sed 's/-[^-]*$$//');\
                mv $(KDEB_SOURCENAME).tar.gz ../$(KDEB_SOURCENAME)_$${origversion}.orig.tar.gz
        +dpkg-buildpackage -r$(KBUILD_PKG_ROOTCMD) -a$$(cat debian/arch) $(DPKG_FLAGS) -i.git -us -uc

bindeb-pkg:
        $(CONFIG_SHELL) $(srctree)/scripts/package/mkdebian
        +dpkg-buildpackage -r$(KBUILD_PKG_ROOTCMD) -a$$(cat debian/arch) $(DPKG_FLAGS) -b -nc -uc

maybe we can set KBUILD_PKG_ROOTCMD or DPKG_FLAGS to create source-only or using script before to generate uImage…DPKG_FLAGS seem not to be set anywhere

btw. bindeb-pkg should build only binary package (not source), see help at the end of makefile…but in my test it also creates the source-deb, but deb-pkg makes clean before and seem to create a source tarball. filename ($kernel_headers_packagename) for source-deb is set in the mkdebian script, but i have not found where it was used to create the headers-file…i guess somewhere with the debian/control file, where also the others are listed.

some of the magic (including collecting files for headers-package) seems to be in this script: scripts/package/builddeb

imho adding mkimage and patchs for dtb should be added here. there is also a section about location for image…there is no arm/arm64-part…maybe we can add one using an ENV-Variable to set target-directory

diff --git a/scripts/package/builddeb b/scripts/package/builddeb
index c4c580f547ef..5ca7d49e1227 100755

but we need to build uImage before…but how

the build itself seems to be done in same file

cp "$($MAKE -s -f $srctree/Makefile image_name)" "$tmpdir/$installed_image_path"

we could call dtbs/mkimage after it or passing all options to the existing make

maybe it’s easier to unpack the deb after generation, remove the wrong vmlinux and adding missing files

Ilya_Murav_jov · February 5, 2020, 2:33pm

@frank-w I’ve changed builddeb a little, so one may build linux-image, linux-headers and linux-libc-dev like so

bash build.sh importconfig
bash build.sh build
bash build.sh cryptodev
bash build.sh pack
bash build.sh pack_debs
ls ../*.deb
../linux-headers-5.4.17-bpi-r64-main-packaged_5.4.17-bpi-r64-main-packaged-1_arm64.deb  ../linux-libc-dev_5.4.17-bpi-r64-main-packaged-1_arm64.deb
../linux-image-5.4.17-bpi-r64-main-packaged_5.4.17-bpi-r64-main-packaged-1_arm64.deb
...

I think it is a good idea add the command to https://github.com/frank-w/BPI-R2-4.14/releases

Meanwhile, I’ve tried the last commit 2e4b86dfcf329f94ac123175b3eed5231b77bbf6 for my BPI-R64 and it doesn’t work for me because DHCP/WAN=eth1 doesn’t work:

In 5.4-main i merged dsa driver for r64 and did not merged openwrt phy driver for r64.

You can now work with wan instead of eth1,but need to set eth0 up before…config like for r2. Have you tried working on wan?

Eth is defined in dts only for soc-side (thats why it is visible in ip a),but switchside (port5) is not defined

Just try wan/lanX instead of ethX

@Ilya_Murav_jov

i have applied your patches to new branch 5.4-deb with changes for r2 (using uImage instead of uImage_nodt). have not tested much due to less time

Ok, wan works. About lanX, I couldn’t use them with dnsmasq to connect clients to the BPI, do you mean it is not ready now? My configs is:
