Revision as of 08:44, 31 August 2021

This page documents the current status of software support for the Quartz64 single-board computer, and provides links to resources to help prospective contributors get started. Information is kept current on a best-effort basis as various patches get accepted into the kernel.

Current Status

The following sections give an overview over the current status of different parts of the board. Some parts are waiting on a driver to be written or ported, others only need various adjustments.

According to pgwipeout, I/O device performance is within expected ranges now.

Working

  • eMMC
  • SDMMC0 (SD cards)
  • GMAC (Gigabit Ethernet)
  • USB 2.0
  • SATA 2
  • SATA 3
  • UART
    • UART 0 (Pi-bus)
    • UART 1 (Bluetooth)
    • UART 2 (Pi-bus, debug)
  • Video Decode
    • VP8
  • Battery

Partially Working

  • PCI-Express Controller — everything but devices that need cache coherency (e.g. dGPUs) should work
  • USB 3.0 — only works with very short cables and depends on the device. This is likely due to a hardware design issue relating to the coupling capacitors needed for SATA, which shares the same lines as USB 3.0.
  • SDMMC1 (Wi-Fi) — AP6256 working, BL602 needs some work to make it flash firmware
  • I2C — works but is not yet exposed to the Pi-bus
  • GIC — needs errata published by Rockchip to get upstream to add device-specific workarounds[17]
  • Audio
    • Driver for Analog audio being upstreamed by User:CounterPillow, still in review though, but it works
    • no HDMI yet

Confirmed Broken

  • Nothing!

Needs Testing

  • GPU — need a VOP-v2 DRM driver to get display output
  • E-Paper — needs EBC driver
  • SPI
  • SPDIF — needs some soldering and device tree changes to test, User:CounterPillow has ordered the necessary components

TODO

ebc-dev Reverse Engineering and Development

The driver for the eInk panel needs to both be reverse engineered and then rewritten as C. In its current form, it is mostly an assembly dump produced by gcc with debug symbols. See RK3566 EBC Reverse-Engineering for details.

VOP2 Porting

The VOP2 portion of the rockchip-drm driver needs to be ported from the downstream kernel. This driver enables video output. Preliminary research has determined that this is a fairly big task.

Collabora has an unpolished forward port that has some issues with HDMI, it can be found here: https://gitlab.collabora.com/benjamin.gaignard/for-upstream/-/tree/5.10_for_rockchip

pgwipeout has a branch for initial vop2 work/testing, very rough around the edges and does not successfully probe yet.

Investigate MCU

The RK3566 comes with an integrated RISC-V microcontroller (MCU). It communicates with the A55 host through the Mailbox system driven by the rockchip-mailbox driver. Since this MCU would be quite useful for things such as low power standby mode, investigating how it can be turned on and have firmware flashed to it should greatly enhance the power saving features of the PineNote.

Booting

Boot Order

The RK3566 boot ROM will search for a valid ID BLOCK in the following order on the support boot media:

  • SPI NOR flash
  • SPI NAND flash
  • SD-Card
  • eMMC

... if this fails, the boot ROM will initialize the USB0 port and wait for a connection from the Rockchip flash/boot tools.

Bootloader Flashing

As per pgwipeout's commit message:

  • Make a partition named uboot as partition number 1 at 8 MiB to 16 MiB
  • dd if=idblock.bin of=/dev/<mmc/sd> seek=64
  • dd if=uboot.img of=/dev/<mmc/sd>1
