you can copy patches from: https://github.com/khadas/fenix/tree/master/packages/linux-mainline/patches/5.7

 

Thanks @ning, I just wanted to pin a thread so we could get the conversation going, I'll take a look at Khadas and the upstream, hopefully avoiding the patchtastrophy that resulted from multiple patch sources last time.

Also useful source: https://github.com/tobetter/linux/commits/odroid-5.7.y

If you give links, use the original sources, and not dubious places where the full set and part of the damaged patches are not complete.

I tried reverting a patch in 5.7 that chewitt blamed for some problems but it didn't restore sound.  @balbes150 our current Amlogic patch situation is, well, interesting.  I need to go through one by one and figure out what each one is for.  I neglected my duties for too long.

use alsamix, F6 select audio card, enable some switch. then you can have sound out.

What does (aplay -l) show ? What name is assigned to the registered sound card in DTB ?

The @ning solution worked for me (kernel 5.6.15). The exact fields to change are: AIU_HDMI to I2S and AIU_SPDI to SPDIF. I don't know the exact meaning of that settings, but worked for me.

 

 

on 5.6 yes, I patched 5.6  ;-)  However my quick test on 5.7 this was not the case.  I will check again of course

[Edit] Found the issue, all of the board dts patches got wiped with the bump to 5.7 somehow.  putting them back. 

 

[edit2] Can anyone run iozone on their meson64 boards and tell me the outcome?  I'm working on sound, but my SD performance seems really bad.

Sure, I can. I have an odroid C2 and C4.

Please let me know the parameters to use when running iozone.

let's go with

 

iozone -e -I -a -s 100M -r 4k -r 16k -r 512k -r 1024k -r 16384k -i 0 -i 1 -i 2

 

We used to do this to benchmark SD cards, however I think we should probably do it to benchmark Kernel/SBC/etc.  It will only tell us if something is very wrong or significantly improved, small differences are meaningless because too many variables

This is the odroid-c2 on a emmc card 5.6.15-meson64 kernel:

    Output is in kBytes/sec

    Processor cache size set to 1024 kBytes.

Let me know if you want other tests.

Thank you @jrober19, that's what I would expect from an eMMC in this case.

about amlogic audio in kernel 5.7,  there is an issue: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-amlogic/2020-July/007558.html

 

revert related patch or wait 5.8

@ning Yeah, I was keeping up with the mailing list, reverted it here: https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/9372fcdedfb6af9709ba1a046e983523997aeada

 

Now it all works, we had a Vim1 issue because it wasn't using the modified card name so PA wasn't immediately enabling it (I chose to use "gx-sound-card")

 

I have not touched vim2 and up, I don't have test boards.

Hello,

 

Could someone tell me if sound works on hdmi output with Odroid C2 with armbian kernel 5.7.15 ?

I've got no sound, just 'dummy' settings and nothing on jack or hdmi out... Maybe i did something wrong while installing...

 

Thanks

 

Regards

Maybe its not the right place to put my message....
