HCL:Orange Pi 2G-IoT

Jump to: navigation, search

The Xunlong Orange Pi 2G-IoT is a single-board computer.

Technical data

  • RDA 8810PL SoC
    • 1x ARM Cortex-A5 CPU
  • 256 MB RAM
  • 40-pin connector

Manual installation

The baudrate of the debug UART is 921600. You may need to use a tool such as minicom or picocom rather than screen.

U-Boot

Mainline U-Boot does not yet contain support for this board or SoC.

git clone https://github.com/RDA8810/u-boot-RDA8810.git
make rda8810_config
make

You may want to tweak include/configs/rda_config_defaults.h.

dd if=u-boot.rda of=/dev/sdX bs=512 seek=256 iflag=fullblock oflag=direct

Kernel

The 4.12 kernel does not contain support for this board and SoC.

An initial patchset was submitted for 4.14. v1

For the vendor U-Boot you will need to append the .dtb:

cat arch/arm/boot/zImage arch/arm/boot/dts/rda8810pl-orangepi-2g-iot.dtb > zImage+dtb

From the U-Boot prompt, boot similar to this:

mux_config
setenv bootargs 'earlycon'
fatload mmc 0:1 ${kernel_addr} zImage+dtb
fatload mmc 0:1 ${script_addr} rda8810pl-orangepi-2g-iot.dtb
bootz ${kernel_addr} - ${script_addr}
