Hello,
I would like to ask someone if anyone could make an armbian kernel with a BPI U-BOOT if possible. because I still have a problem with HDMI. HDMI still doesn’t work for me. Armbian image work fine for me, but manage it only over RDP / ssh. BPI image works fine. I’m still learning with linux. I could try make it, but it is high school for me.
thank you very much
Ondrej
ST33 test on BPI-M2 ultra:
We are working on it and will let you know when we are ready
Is still no GPU support?)
Ahoj,
your kernel 5.1 on image is mainline or BPI-kernel?
someone already dropped a patch for the gpu (mali) for the m2 ultra (mainline), and i can confirm it works.
mali: gpu@1c40000 {
compatible = "allwinner,sun7i-a20-mali", "arm,mali-400";
reg = <0x01c40000 0x10000>;
interrupts = <GIC_SPI 69 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>,
<GIC_SPI 70 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>,
<GIC_SPI 71 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>,
<GIC_SPI 72 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>,
<GIC_SPI 74 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>,
<GIC_SPI 75 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>,
<GIC_SPI 73 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
interrupt-names = "gp",
"gpmmu",
"pp0",
"ppmmu0",
"pp1",
"ppmmu1",
"pmu";
clocks = <&ccu CLK_BUS_GPU>, <&ccu CLK_GPU>;
clock-names = "bus", "core";
resets = <&ccu RST_BUS_GPU>;
assigned-clocks = <&ccu CLK_GPU>;
assigned-clock-rates = <384000000>;
};
I am running kmscube (no Desktop - gbm) on kernel 5.2.2 with the output:

===================================
Although some bits are missing like sound / THS / DVFS for the Kernel 5.x.
gpu node can be added to the Armbian Kernel, but i am not sure it will work on 4.19.
If BPI team has the Mainline Kernel with sound would be great.
Just to be clear, it is hdmi-sound what is missing. Someone at Armbian already got this working:
cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [Codec ]: H3_Audio_Codec - H3 Audio Codec
H3 Audio CodecWow) can you share patched image?)
The kernel 5.2 is still experimental but stable, if you can live with the board without Wifi + BT i can arrange that otherwise you should stick with Armbian or BPI.
Hello everyone, I have made a U-boot fork and merged with sunxi-next ( csi0, crypto, rtc, i2c, watchdog, spi,bus, pmu), I have also activated the integrated board audio and added the mali node mentioned here in addition to the instructions to compile and install in armbian.
Instructions for Armbian:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install swig python-dev python3-dev git make gcc flex bison
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/juanesf/u-boot.git && cd u-boot && make Bananapi_M2_Ultra_defconfig && make -j4
mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d /boot/boot.cmd boot.scr
sudo dd if=/tmp/u-boot/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1024 seek=8
sudo cp /tmp/u-boot/arch/arm/dts/sun8i-r40-bananapi-m2-ultra.dtb /boot/dtb
sudo reboot 00
