liushuyu: welcome, please mind the topic: check out the Wiki, and if you have a question, just ask!

apritzel: The wiki suggest to use orange_pi_plus dtb for Orange Pi Plus 2, but I found orange_pi_plus_2e is more suitable
<liushuyu>
The latter offers proper Ethernet support, while the former does not
<liushuyu>
So I wonder why wiki suggest to do that?

liushuyu: it's probably just outdated?
<liushuyu>
apritzel: idk, so can I edit that?

liushuyu: if you can verify that, why not?

K
<apritzel>
it's a Wiki, worst thing is that it will get reverted ;-)
<liushuyu>
I've got that device, unfortunately the mainline support is not good, but with several patches and OPi 2E dtb, I got ethernet and wireless working
<apritzel>
liushuyu: are you talking about U-Boot in particular here?
<liushuyu>
apritzel: U-Boot and kernel
<apritzel>
(because you mentioned Ethernet, and the mainline kernel has no sun8i-emac support yet)
<liushuyu>
I mean with patches

liushuyu: I am bit puzzled: the pi_plus.dts and the _defconfig seems to have Ethernet support in U-Boot ...
<liushuyu>
apritzel: But what I observed was that it appeared to have Ethernet support, but when I plug the cable in, it couldn't do anything, and the LEDs on the slot seemed not activated
<liushuyu>
And when digging kernel messages, I found everything seemed to work fine
<apritzel>
that OPi naming is really confusing, but from what I get the OPi Plus 2 has just twice the memory of the OPi Plus?
<apritzel>
liushuyu: so they could happily go with one DT, as those sizes are autodetected anyway
<apritzel>
so I suggest to actually fix the orange_pi_plus.dts, if that does not work
<liushuyu>
apritzel: I think that's twice the RAM and NAND, don't yet know if the data is correct

liushuyu: by using the plus2e dtb for the Pi Plus 2 you would loose the SATA, as it seems
<liushuyu>
apritzel: Yeah
<apritzel>
no that this is particularly bad in this case ;-)
<liushuyu>
And BTW, I saw the WIP thermal sensor support is totally broken
<liushuyu>
(for AW H3, of course)
<apritzel>
the H3 THS sensor in Linux you mean?
<apritzel>
from which repo did you get that?
<apritzel>
I found some bugs in some version lately, but didn't find any recent upstream efforts
<liushuyu>
apritzel: the patch link provided on linux-sunxi.org wiki
<liushuyu>
apritzel: seems like since then, Linux mainline kernel changed a lot, and the patches no longer even fit into the kernel source
<apritzel>
yeah, looks like
<apritzel>
I think I was looking at some other version then
<apritzel>
that's really weird: why are there separate Wiki pages for the Pi Plus and the Pi Plus 2, when they apparently are just differing in the memory size?
<liushuyu>
apritzel: because it looks different
<apritzel>
you mean the board layout is different?
<liushuyu>
Yeah
<liushuyu>
The most obvious different is the way they place CPU is different
