The recently mainlined RTW88 driver for the RTL8723DS does not work at all on the RockPI-S No error messages, but no radio either. The RTW88 driver also blocks the bluetooth radio as well. Reverting back to RTL's own driver, which is still in the patched tree, fixes all this. I'll be working with the RTW88 driver authors get their 8723DS driver working, but, my experience with the RTW88 driver for the USB bus version of this WiFi chip is that it uses significantly more CPU than RTL's driver. To cope with the ever expanding Linux kernel, this patch also includes overriding u-boot's value of fdt_addr_r in the RockPI-s boot.cmd script. Please include a summary of the chan…

Description On every PR, a workflow is started to check if artifacts should be built. This happens not only once, but many times, e.g. for every selected reviewer. Since the workflow has cancel-in-progress enabled, workflows are started and immediately cancelled by the next one, resulting in many notifications (see https://github.com/armbian/build/actions/workflows/build-artifacts-pr.yml how many of the workflows were duplicates which were cancelled). Move the cancel-in-progress concurrency policy to the second job which starts only after a check is done if the 'Build' label is even active on the PR. This should greatly reduce "Workflow cancelled" notifications via GitHub…

Description ::set-output has been deprecated in 2022: https://github.blog/changelog/2022-10-11-github-actions-deprecating-save-state-and-set-output-commands/ Thus replacing it with >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT as described in the guide above. Also, took me a while to figure out how to create and use the ARMBIAN_SELF_DISPATCH_TOKEN mentioned in the readme.

Description Switch back to Rockchip DDR binary for DDR initialization in u-boot for Helios64. I believe there is nothing board-specific about this memory initialization issue, but it might be no other Armbian board has this combination of rk3399 and LPDDR4. Else there is something specific about the memory set up on the Helios64 hardware. On the Helios64 random memory errors happens when using the U-Boot DDR intialization code for rk3399. Switching to the rkbin rk33 933MHz v1.25 allows this testcase to run more than once without a memory error: for i in $(seq 1 100);do python3 -c "import pkg_resources" || break;done Could be LPDDR4 specific.

Description The lm75 sensor was defined in the dts as "onnn,lm75". Set it to "national,lm75" as is set in the upstream dts. (there is no such thing as "onnn,lm75"). Later on (or maybe I should include it there) we should remove the lm75 module from MODULES and MODULES8lEGACY in config/boards/helios64.csc, as the DTS already loads it. (which makes me think "onnn,lm75" as a DTS node never was recognized by a kernel, thus the need to explicitly load lm75). How Has This Been Tested?
