I've tested the new kernel (linux-aarch64-7ji
, 6.4.3) on my following devices and they're running great:
iperf3 -s & iperf3 -c 127.0.0.1
) increased from ~6.7Gbps to ~7.4GBps, thanks to my optimized JL2101 driver@a520ass Since you're using the binary mainline kernel from Armbian for the newer kernel, could you share some test results with our new kernel here?

需要怎么测试呢,目前我是在用armban的主线内核6.1.30,在archlinux下没什么问题。 我这边有的是S905D、S905L、S905L2B、S905L3、S905L3A
在最新action的build artifact里:
linux-aarch64-7ji(-headers)
的两个包,使用pacman -U可以安装启动配置里,内核文件、内存盘文件、DTB文件的路径从-flippy改成-7ji就是用这个内核的全套。缺少DTB文件的情况下可以混用其他内核的DTB。

刚建了个放我打包好的arch包的仓库,可以参考仓库说明添加以后直接pacman -Syu linux-aarch64-7ji
来装,以后也能自动升级
We're not using official ArchLinux ARM
linux-aarch64
kernel because it is lagged behind in versioning (currently 6.2.10) and is broken on Amlogic platformThe
linux-aarch64-flippy
kernel we're currently using however, is also lagged behind at6.1.38
, and derived a lot from the mainline kernel. The more it derived the harder it is in the future for users to switch back to the untouched mainline kernel.A new kernel
linux-aarch64-7ji
is added, using upstream https://github.com/7ji/linux branchamlogic
, now at version6.4.3
, with only bare-minimum changes for Amlogic platforms. Most noticable differences are my patches already inflippy
kernel, and a few dts ported fromflippy
kernel.The two kernels (
linux-aarch64-flippy
andlinux-aarch64-7ji
) are both pre-installed in new images now, with-flippy
being the default one. I'm not planning to removeflippy
kernel soon since there's preciously a lot of nice stuffs for Amlogic platforms.If, however, any one want to use
-7ji
kernel, do note there's a few traps:-flippy
, you can still use the dts fromflippy
kernel if you don't uninstall it. The two kernels can co-exist, unlike ArchlinuxARM's official kernelsmmc1
being sd card andmmc2
being emmc, it'smmc0
being sd card andmmc1
being emmc. SDIO card uses slot 2 instead of 1. This will bite you if you're usingmmcblkXpY
as the bootup configuration or mounting configuration.Allwinner
orRockchip
platforms pre-built, this is only for Amlogic platforms
