Banana Pi BPI-M6 is an upcoming credit-card single board computer based on SenaryTech SN3680 SoC comprised of a quad-core Arm Cortex-A73 processor, a Cortex-M3 real-time core, an Imagination GE9920 GPU, and an NPU delivering up to 6 .75 TOPS. The board will ship with 4GB LPDDR4 RAM and 16GB eMMC flash. Its layout is fairly similar to the one of the Raspberry Pi 4 with four USB ports, Gigabit Ethernet, a 40-pin GPIO header, a USB Type-C port for power, and two micro HDMI ports. However, only one of those is for HDMI output, as the second is for HDMI input, and there’s also an M.2 socket for expansion.

Description This PR makes two changes for the bcm2711 family: Use FS UUID for mounting the root filesystem instead of the FS label, bringing this family in line with most other boards. Write config.txt and cmdline.txt earlier, allowing it to be modified from customize-image-host.sh or customize-image.sh. These two changes are conceptually independent, but touch the same area of code, so I put them in a single PR instead of splitting them.

This skips all git checkout, patching, configuring and cleaning when USE_EXISTING_KERNEL_TREE=yes is passed. This can be useful when doing kernel development by making changes directly to the kernel sourcetree in cache/sources, while still allowing to use the compile.sh to use the same compilation commands, deb package building, ccache, etc. It is also useful when bisecting a kernel issue. Can be used something like this: USE_EXISTING_KERNEL_TREE=yes ./compile.sh default kernel To produce a kernel deb in a few minutes ready to be installed on a device. This is mostly a proof of concept to explore the usecase. In particular: I am not happy with the USE_EXISTING_KERN…

Description The issue When using ./compile.sh rewrite-kernel-config and then running the menuconfig with ./compile.sh kernel-config, just exiting and saving without any manual changes, the kernel config may still change. This is because rewrite-kernel-config does force some kernel options without any additional checks e.g. for dependencies. Using the config menu with kernel-config does those checks automatically and solves all dependencies. Example: Using ./compile.sh kernel-config on linux-rockchip64-edge.config (e.g. with BOARD=nanopi-r5c), the option CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y is automatically selected, since it is a dependency for CONFIG_EXPERT=y, which is selected in thi…

Description When booting U-Boot for rockchip64 or rk3588 devices, the error Failed to load '...-fixup.scr' pops up. This PR fixes this error by checking if the file exists before trying to load it. This PR partially fixes https://github.com/armbian/build/issues/6398 Unfortunately, I was not able to fix the error with missing kaslrseed (even though it may only be cosmetic). Note: U-Boot uses Hush cli language. Not this Hush cli (!) but a different old Hush shell in Busybox which is very badly documented overall unfortunately. I could not find any Hush functionality or a U-Boot command to check if the command kaslrseed exists. Should we include CONFIG_CMD_KASLRSEED for e…

Description Added the necessary parts to create linux-libc-dev packages when creating armbian images. This functionality was not added to the new build system but worked just fine up until v23.02. In my opinion linux-libc-dev should always be created when building an armbian kernel as the kernel versions often differ greatly from the ones natively in the distros (eg. debian bookworm: 6.1.76 vs. armbian current 6.6.21). Also the armbian package source previously included the package but does not anymore, so the latest updates available were 23.02.2. See also https://forum.armbian.com/topic/36140-linux-libc-dev-packages-not-available-after-2302/#comment-184962 How Has T…

Description Fix/rewrite-kernel-config two kernel configs (mvebu64-current and sun50iw9-btt-legacy) to adapt them to the latest wireless driver updates in drivers_network.sh. Without doing a rewrite-kernel-config refresh, their kernel builds might potentially fail due to misconfigured wireless driver modules.

Description We are using out-dated hdmi patches and now mainline has hdmi phy merged. HDMI bridge driver is WIP by collabora but I can get it work on rock5b.

Dear Armbian Community, Here are the latest news! With each new Armbian release, we bring you plenty of improvements. However, we also encounter some new bugs along the way. While some are our own doing, most come from various sources. Much of the software we distribute is common and maintained by third parties upstream, with our main focus on single board computers. Challenges and Improvements During the first week after the release, we faced some problems with the package repository. Our system is highly automated, but sometimes things don’t go smoothly. While trying to improve things, we accidentally caused a delay in updates for two weeks. We’re working hard to fi…

In continuation with our series about Kernel Integration we'll go into more detail about how regression detection, processing, and tracking can be improved to provide a better service to developers and maintainers. View the full article

rtw88_8821cu takes priority over the github driver, so this shouldn't effect other units or usb dongles people use.
