Banana Pi R2 Armbian
martinl opened this issue · 12 comments
Hi
I'm currently looking into options for adding official Banana Pi R2 support to Armbian (armbian/build#2147) using your 5.4-main as base. Can you please explain which patches are needed for R2 from your 5.4-main branch vs mainline 5.4
Also, would you be interested in testing and supporting R2 on Armbian to some extent
Martin
git logone v5.4.58..5.4-main | grep -v "Merge tag"
there are some commits that should not be catched (seems like from 5.4.21...i removed them and replaced by ...) because they are not from me (don't know why), but it filters many out from the merges

a90c2da3c6eb add own files (build.sh,build.conf,defconfig) + update gitignore
as i do the most work linux, uboot, images and other support (in forum), i cannot support armbian/openwrt too
basicly mt6625l (drivers/misc/mediatek + some patches outside), hdmi, poweroff was not integrated and some tools. i guess trgmii-fix was added in the latest 5.4 dot-release after putting it to mainline
maybe it is easier to look what i have done in 5.5...there i have sqashed the mt6625l patches together, also defconfig, build.sh,...
https://github.com/frank-w/BPI-R2-4.14/commits/5.5-main
additional patches were updates to make it compatible with 5.5 itself, but they are not needed for 5.4
also you do not need patches for mt7622 (BPI-r64)
Thanks, I made one big diff 5.4-main vs 5.4 mainline for now. Removed wireguard since Armbian already has patch for that
Full diff is about 284k lines https://github.com/martinl/banana-pi-r2/tree/master/armbian/patch/kernel/mt7623-dev
it is the internal wifi-driver which is very huge...i cleaned it a bit, but it's to much to be upstreamed (same for mainline and openwrt)...maybe you should split wifi-changes from hdmi,thermal and the rest...something like squashing related commits together (e.g. tagged with mt6625l for internal wifi)
yes, I took a quick look and I do not see the point in including the huge mt6625l until there is native driver available. Adding a supported USB or mPCIe wifi adapter to R2 seems like a reasonable workaround for now.
I split the drivers subtree to per directory diffs for easier reviewing
Splitting wifi-driver make not much sense because all so far is needed to work,dirs alone did not...
yes, just making it easier to read/review. I'm mildly interested why the wifi driver is ~280k lines 🙂
It will not be reviewed/upstreamed in current form...it can only be in mainline if completely rewritten
Current driver is based on android driver as full combo driver with fm,gps, and many other parts. Main-parts are removed but there is still some stuff in common part and makefiles. Also there are some switches for linux/android compatibility (different libs/headers)
I'm mostly planning to review it myself, to see which parts are needed for Armbian patches
It will be more interesting why wifi client mode does not work...see discussion in forum http://forum.banana-pi.org/t/bpi-r2-internal-wifi-bt-mt6625l-kernel/4307/299
