Hmm... throttling settings for H3 in mainline kernel need some attention. Tortuting NanoPi NEO with cpuburn-a7 and cpufreq only jumps between 624 and 1008 MHz (and 1.1V vs. 1.3V VDD_CPUX). With crappy BSP kernel 816 MHz is used most of the times (and voltage remains at 1.1V)

With 4.7 816 MHz is available but will not be used. Hmm...

yea, for the sunxi 3.4 kernel ... i patches the armbian 3.4.112 with them

_mamalala_: Hi
<montjoie>
3.4.1xx, yesterday I check the kernel version of my phone... 3.4.5, ouch such security
<_mamalala_>
tkaiser: aloha! btw, regarding the 14x14x10 heatsinks, i could have sent you a few, still have 10 or so left
<tkaiser>
_mamalala_: i ordered 5 already -- should arrive within a week
<_mamalala_>
tkaiser: yea, the usually arrive within a few days even
<tkaiser>
_mamalala_: Regarding your 5th patch. In Armbian we do now stuff like 'echo 8 >/proc/irq/24/smp_affinity' to send WiFi IRQs to cpu3.
<tkaiser>
Does your patch improve something or make things work or can this be considered the same?
<_mamalala_>
tkaiser: yea, well, that may work for some drivers, but i'm directly programming and using TMR1 and it's interrupt, so i can't write to that
<_mamalala_>
well, that patch just make irq_set_affinity_hint() work as expected ...
<_mamalala_>
without the patch, you could call it to set the affinity to one cpu, but it would end up on cpu0 regardless
<_mamalala_>
with the patch it actually ands up on the selected cpu or cpu's
<_mamalala_>
it doesn't break anything existing either
<_mamalala_>
tkaiser: yea, but are all the H3's peripherials supported there yet? like the gmac?
<_mamalala_>
i mean, sooner or later i will hopefully be able to use a mainline kernel, apply the RT patches for it and then, with some luck, actually get the FIQ working there ... that 3.4.x frankenstein-kernel for sunxi is a real PITA, but for now somewhat works
<tkaiser>
_mamalala_: montjoie and others worked on Ethernet. Still not perfect but for most if not all use cases already sufficient (especially with Fast Ethernet / internal PHY). I'm running 4.7.2 now with Ethernet and WiFi working on OPi Lite, NanoPi NEO and M1. Martin Ayotte managed to get device tree overlays working so you can even use stuff like SPI or I2C already with H3 boards and 4.x
<tkaiser>
But please don't ask me about DT overlays -- I'm a device tree NOOB anyway :)
<tkaiser>
Throttling with mainline kernel needs some attention/love (pretty inefficient now) but this will improve. For your use case mainline should already be perfect
<huawei>
MoeIcenowy, so bluetooth is available in mainline kernel?
<_mamalala_>
tkaiser: ah, i see ... well, i'm going to use the peripherials i need (GPIO, SPI, etc.) directly anyways, but having stuff like the gmac and usb working is a must ...
<tkaiser>
_mamalala_: USB on H3 works since the end of last year. I tested UASP/disk performance back then (without SMP and only with fixed cpufreq of 1008 MHz outperforming BSP kernel easily)
<tkaiser>
_mamalala_: And some Armbian users switched to mainline kernel in March due to BSP kernel being broken regarding AppleTalk for example. Ethernet is used productive since almost half a year :)
<_mamalala_>
it's a rather sad thing that Allwinner is somewhat reluctant to improve the situation ... after all, they _do_ profit from Linux support on their chips
