Irradium (based on crux linux) SpacemiT Banana Pi BPI-F3 K1 riscv64

Fooo, nice Can I please ask you to elaborate a bit more on the topic? Not sure how the boot process work on BPI-f3. Nor do I know which specific changes there are present between ‘your’ kernel and stock Bianbu kernel…

(Yes, yes, I’m aware that I could (and probably should) spend the next whole month studying the whole thing, but I’m pressed for other things too… )

take kernel-k1#236.6.72-1.pkg.tar.gz unpack move /lib to /lib rename the files in the unpacked /boot folder similarly to the existing /boot and move them there.

boldos · February 5, 2025, 8:49pm

You are awesome! It works very nicely, thank you

Just a sidenote: There is no sound device present in the system. Would it be compliated to make it work?

mara · February 6, 2025, 5:02pm

need to add module loading:

modprobe spacemit_card
modprobe spacemit_i2s
modprobe spacemit_pcm
modprobe snd_soc_es8323

cat /proc/asound/cards

boldos · February 6, 2025, 7:27pm

Yesss – sound works again (Only jack output; no HDMI or BT headset output… but I think I can live with that… )

Thank you yet again!

mara · February 6, 2025, 7:38pm

HDMI

modprobe spacemit-hdmiaudio

boldos · February 6, 2025, 7:57pm

Yeah, I tried that; Unfortunalety that (in itself) does not add a hdmi sound device
