Second problem is that the board locks up during boot with this enabled. Do you have some suggestion for alternate configuration to test?Just to verify, did you test with the entire series applied? (especially the PLL1 clk application changes)Yes, I applied the whole series.quoted
You may try dropping the highest operating point, it's probably overly optimistic for Orange Pi One. Is the power supply/cable you're using hard enough?I use a 7 port hub to power the board. It worked with some other small devboards. The cable is some random Chinese USB to power jack adaptor with an extra adaptor to fit the Pi socket. It looks ok but I did not test this particular combination thoroughly.quoted
Where during the boot process does it lock up?Usually sometime around enabling cpufreq before getty starts. Different runs and settings give slightly different results. In particular adding the 1008000 point seems to make it go further. Removing all traces of the regulator, cpufreq and thermal I can boot pretty much 100% to login prompt. I don't think the difference between 1GHz and 1.3GHz frequency on the core would put much additional stress on the supply but I can try with 35W PSU and some alternative cabling to be sure. I did some more tests and it seems 1008000@1.1V is fine but switching to 1.3V crashes the board. Even with only the first 1.3V state. Maybe there is need for some delay somewhere for the regulator to get stable?
Hm, the AW table shows 1008000@1.3V as supported state and it indeed works. So the voltage switching works or does nothing. Can I measure the regulator output somewhere? Clocking the chip higher does not work. I will try with another PSU later. Thanks Michal -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
