I will test this image and give you some feedback.

Good work. How can you make it so soon

Stephen · August 30, 2021, 3:04am

I test the image. And get the error of failing to get rk3568-rock_3a.dtb.

Thanks! there were developments on a different board

Thank you very much, the main thing is a correctly working u-boot.

so far everything is in order, let’s see more logs, change the /dev/mmcblk0p1 (sdcard) in file /extlinux/extlinux.conf loglevel=8

jtremblant · December 2, 2021, 6:20pm

It does boot from uSD. Nice job.

avaf · December 5, 2021, 8:21pm

Do you have panfrost running?

mara · December 5, 2021, 8:54pm

No, the driver is included in the kernel:
CONFIG_DRM_PANFROST=y

avaf · December 5, 2021, 9:54pm

I have that, but it is not probed. I wonder if it is ready to work on rk356x or needs something else to be configured.

avaf · December 5, 2021, 10:01pm

I mean, no trace of gpu in kernel log.
Would you know what device should i see?

mara · December 5, 2021, 10:33pm

yes, something like:

Thanks again for bringing it up
First link is obviously wrong, but everything is ok here: http://dl.slarm64.org/slackware/images/rock_3/

dominik · December 15, 2021, 8:20am

Mara thanks again for You work on this board.
I tested this image (5.16/server) and here are my thoughts

I was surprised that uart console don’t work right after kernel is loaded, this results in three or four messages and nothing further, this forced me to plug in external hdmi monitor and keyboard - that worked just fine,
there is no more time issue - it keeps day and time
hardware buttons are not working, no shutdown or restart, shutdown/reboot command is not working
I expected bit more drivers in recent kernel, especially for wifi - no iwl was found, this may need more work, pcie card was recognized

I made few more tests and kernel and it pass requirements for kubernetes right from box, I will check more things there but it looks promising.
