The Wi-R protocol is a non-radiative near-field communication technology that uses Electro-Quasistatic (EQS) fields for communication enabling the body to be used as a conductor and that consumes up to 100x less energy per bit compared to Bluetooth. In a sense, Wi-R combines wireless and wired communication. Wi-R itself only has a wireless range of 5 to 10cm, but since it also uses the body to which the Wi-R device is attached, the range on the conductor is up to 5 meters. While traditional wireless solutions like Bluetooth create a 5 to 10-meter field around a person, the Wi-R protocol creates a body area network (BAN) that could be used to connect a smartphone to a pace…

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.

Description The "swapaccount=" option has been deprecated in 6.1. Disable it in almost all boot scripts except "boot-sun50iw9.cmd" since that one is used in sun50iw9 legacy kernel, which is version 4.9. In theory, rk3588-legacy is also still <6.1, but that boot script is also used by 6.1 vendor kernel and the amount of new images being built/used with the 5.10 legacy kernel is likely minimal. As far as I know, bootscript won't update automatically, so these changes will only apply to freshly built images. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I was expecting the next official Raspberry Pi board to be either an update of Raspberry Pico with WiFi and Bluetooth or with a machine learning accelerator and the new $6 Raspberry Pi Pico W delivers that wish through the addition of 2.4GHz WiFi 4. Having said that, I was actually expecting a competitor to ESP8266 or ESP32 with a new Raspberry Pi wireless microcontroller, but it did quite happen that way as the Raspberry Pi Pico W features the same Raspberry Pi RP2040 dual-core Cortex-M0+ microcontroller found in Raspberry Pi Pico board coupled with an Infineon CYW43439 chip that’s supposed to support both 2.4 GHz WiFi 4 and Bluetooth LE 5.2, but Bluetooth is not mention…

Khadas VIM4 single board computer was first unveiled last October with Amlogic A311D2 octa-core Cortex-A73/A53 processor, 8GB LPDDR4X, but it’s only been launched today, and you can now buy the Khadas VIM4 board for right under $200. It is an upgrade to Khadas VIM3 Pro launched with Amlogiv A311D hexa-core processor a few years ago, and our testing in Android 11 revealed the main benefit may be the upgrade GPU that delivered a 67% boost in 3DMark, but CPU multi-core performance and memory bandwidth will also see some benefits over Amlogic A311D, even against in overclocked systems like ODROID N2+. Here’s a reminder of Khadas VIM4 specifications: SoC – Amlogic A311D2 octa-…

Description Uboot v2024.01 leaves HDMI/VOP and USB ports in a state that is not liked by vendor kernel tools (eg. the Multitool), thus making their usage difficult or impossible. These patches will assert the resets for HDMI, VOP and USB ports and deassert them on uboot exit, so the kernel (any kernel) will find them in active and "clean" state. Nerd note: the USB nodes in uboot device tree do not have the reset properties. Adding the reset properties makes the USB ports undetectable to the kernel because uboot - on purpose - leaves the devices with the reset asserted. To let the kernel detect the ports, you have to add the reset properties in the kernel device tree too…

There is no way to support this on s905 TV Boxes while reusing the android u-boot as the android uboot on s905 conflicts with the partition table location of standard mainline linux (this only impacts s905 boxes; s905x[wl], x2, x3, etc will work).
