Orange Pi 3 H6 mainline

Mainline kernel Orange Pi 3 (Allwinner H6) with USB3, WiFi, Ethernet, PCI-E patches. EL2 Hypervisor for quirky PCI-E controller.

Warning! Its not tested on LTS version.

Content

  • arm-trusted-firmware: ARM Trusted Firmware-A

  • aw-el2-barebone: Allwinner SoCs' 64-bit EL2 barebone hypervisor for PCI-E quirky controller.

  • u-boot-2022.10: Mainline u-boot with native eMMC support.

  • u-boot-2019.04: Mainline u-boot. (not needed)

  • u-boot-el1-hyp: Patched u-boot with BL31 and hypervisor support for PCI-Eb quirky controller.

  • u-boot-el1-hyp-emmc: Patched u-boot with BL31 and hypervisor support for PCI-Eb quirky controller. Support for boot from EMMC 8GB.

  • linux-5.7.4: Mainline kernel + out of tree patches for USB3, WiFi Ethernet, PCI-E controller.

  • configs: u-boot-2019.04 and linux-5.7.4 configuration files.

  • dts: custom dts for the Orange Pi 3 (adds emac support to mainline dts as of 11/16/2022)

  • the experimental/ folder contains a new PCIe sunxi module, gmac patches and a dts for newer kernels.

Instructions

Build environment

  • Debian 12 (Bookworm)

building from sources

sudo python ./build.py

Copying to SD card is hardcoded in build.py, edit your media path

Booting from eMMC

Before you follow these instructions you must have prepared the partition on the eMMC. Create a single partition and format it (mkfs.ext4 -O ^64bit /dev/mmcblk1p1).

echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk1boot0/force_ro
echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk1boot1/force_ro
mmc bootbus set single_hs x1 x4 /dev/mmcblk1
mmc bootpart enable 1 1 /dev/mmcblk1
dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/mmcblk1boot0 bs=4k
dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/dev/mmcblk1 bs=1k seek=8

Addendum for mainline kernel 5.19.8 or later (no PCIe support)

To get the Orange Pi 3 to boot on mainline kernel with u-boot-2022.10. The mainline kernel now includes support for ethernet, USB3, eMMC (but no PCIe support):

  • compile arm-trusted-firmware v2.2, move bl31.bin to the u-boot-2022.10 directory.
  • copy dts/sun50i-h6-orangepi-3.dts to u-boot-2022.10/arch/arm/dts/sun50i-h6-orangepi-3.dts
  • compile u-boot-2022.10.
  • extract ArchLinuxARM-aarch64-latest.tar.gz on the SD card.
  • copy u-boot-2022.10/arch/arm/dts/sun50i-h6-orangepi-3.dtb to the SD card at /boot/dtbs/allwinner/sun50i-h6-orangepi-3.dtb
