Banana Pi JMB 321 support

Great the new build works as well.
Think I will give it a try. The other one is already finished configuring as my omv-nas ;-)

Great work!

Fantastic, I have updated the original post with this image. Thank you for your patience with the troubleshooting, glad it all paid off

Hej Mike,


with the new bananian there is a problem with installing omv following your manual
following to "apt-get install php-apc openmediavault -y --force-yes"

this happens...


"The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 openmediavault : Depends: php5-pam but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: proftpd-mod-vroot but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: php5-proctitle but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages."

But for me a minor problem, because the other image runs fine ;-)

[Mike]

Thanks for that, it is most likely the openmediavault repository that needs updating for jessie.

Enjoying OMV and the multiple hard drives?

Hey Mike,

The problem many are having with PMP under Armbian is because of missing settings in the boot.scr script.

I could get everything working with bananian and rebuilding the kernel, but all the guides for armbian with kernel 4.x failed and would only allow me to access one disk over the PMP device.

This is what worked for me:

Code:

nano /boot/boot.cmd

Go to line that starts with

Code:

setenv bootargs

 and add

Code:

ahci_sunxi.enable_pmp=1

to the end of it before "

Recompile boot.scr:

Code:

mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d /boot/boot.cmd /boot/boot.scr
reboot

[Mike]

Thank you so much for sharing this!

Thank you for your hints! I tried to follow your instructions, but i can't find a " in my boot.cmd

I added ahci_sunxi.enable_pmp=1 to the end of the line with setenv and compiled: the pi didn't start anymore.

Do you have any idea or hint?

My original, working (compiled) boot.cmd

Code:

setenv bootargs console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootwait rootfstype=ext4 sunxi_ve_mem_reserve=0 sunxi_g2d_mem_reserve=0 sunxi_no_mali_mem_reserve sunxi_fb_mem_reserve=16 hdmi.audio=EDID:0 disp.screen0_output$

ext4load mmc 0 0x48000000 /boot/zImage || fatload mmc 0 0x48000000 zImage
bootz 0x48000000

My non-working boot.cmd:

Code:

setenv bootargs console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootwait rootfstype=ext4 sunxi_ve_mem_reserve=0 sunxi_g2d_mem_reserve=0 sunxi_no_mali_mem_reserve sunxi_fb_mem_reserve=16 hdmi.audio=EDID:0 disp.screen0_output$ ahci_sunxi.enable_pmp=1
[...]

Edit (add-it):

I opened /etc/modprobe.d/ahci-sunxi.conf (it was empty?) and added

Code:

options ahci-sunxi enable_pmp=1

after doing so, saving, rebooting, i  got the dmesg-output (only the relevant part):

Code:
