Armbian for Khadas EDGE (RK3399)

jeanrhum · June 22, 2019, 6:10pm

Tested latest image (5.88) and here is the result of armbianmonitor -u: http://ix.io/1MwH
The ethernet chip seems well recognized, but I was not able to make it work so I used an wifi usb stick.

Try to run the option with kernel 4.4.

balbes150 · June 23, 2019, 7:32am

Please check this version with the use of media script on EDGE-V. I am interested in how the full-screen video output on EDGE-V will work with the DTB that is included in the default image. On EDGE+Captain everything works without problems, including WiFi and BT (when you run the BT enable command).

DTS for Khadas EDGE \ EDGE-V appeared in the NEXT kernel sources

I tried to build a system with NEXT kernel, but while the kernel does not start, maybe not all changes are still included in the kernel sources.

I downloaded your 4.4 5.88 image and here is the output of armbianmonitor -u: http://ix.io/1MAL
Ethernet works, but the wireless card seems detected but not able to connect to any wireless network. It is not visible in the desktop network widget and
sudo iwlist wlan0 scan returns:
wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning.

@balbes150 maybe you missed it or it’s a known limitation… but with kernel 5.2 cpufreq support seems to be broken and all CPU cores clock with just 600 MHz: Performance comparison between the Edge-V and VIM3

balbes150 · June 23, 2019, 5:48pm

The “default” “dev” images use the 4.4 kernel (with additional patches).

ChrisW · June 27, 2019, 11:43am

Hi @balbes150. Which kernel source tree do you use for your 5.2 kernel images? Is it literally the 5.2-rc6 tag in Linus’ mainline + the right device tree, or are there patches on top?

If you’re not using Linus’s mainline, would you be able to point me at either the patches or the source/git tree you are using?

I’d like to reproduce your existing, working kernel build here so I can work on fixing the ap6398s support with brcmfmac.

source kernel

https://github.com/150balbes/Build-Armbian/blob/master/config/sources/rk3399-tv.conf#L36

patch Patches for adding DTS are no longer needed, they are already in the kernel.

Many thanks @balbes150!

But the mainline kernel 5.2-rc6, the ethernet works well.

@balbes150

I would like to test Armbian.

I downloaded the last Armbian, there are three folders when I decompress it.
which to take to put at the root of the sd

are there any passwords to know?

on my computer I already use linux ubuntu 18.04.

it’s the same principle I guess.

thanks to you

jeanrhum · June 27, 2019, 6:23pm

You shouldn’t decompress the file but directly burn it to an sd card with balenaEtcher for example.

fred21 · June 27, 2019, 6:29pm

you have to use windows 10 or ubuntu 18.04?

mo123 · June 28, 2019, 6:22am

balenaEtcher app can work on both Windows and Linux, it’s a java app
You just write the *.img.xz file directly to a micro-sd card connected to a micro-sd card reader on your PC.

You might want to try this script afterwards.
It improves video playback and browser smoothness but I’m not sure if it works on all kernel versions and images and it’s still wip.

fred21 · June 28, 2019, 3:19pm

@balbes150
what is the login and passeword rk3399 edge v armbian?

thank you

numbqq · June 29, 2019, 6:14am

All the Armbian images have the same initial password 1234 for root account. And you will ask to change the root password and add new user account for the first login.

fred21 · June 29, 2019, 6:26am

okai, thank you.

it’s better to use a usb keyboard.

mo123 · June 29, 2019, 6:54am

Get a wireless airmouse like this, it works well for Android, Linux and PC if you don’t have one already.

Hi. I did not succeed installed Armbian.I tried all the passwords. root -1234 ca does not want, I’ll see later.
