Google has launched the new Chromecast with Google TV (HD) powered by an Amlogic S805X2 quad-core Cortex-A35 CPU that offers a cheaper alternative to the Chromecast with Google TV (4K) that is limited to 1080p60 resolution, instead of the 4Kp60 video output supported by the Amlogic S905X3 model. While the processor is slower, the system comes with less memory (1.5GB vs 2GB), and only supports 1080p60, it supports the more efficient AV1 video decoding and as well as A/B partitions for seamless updates since the firmware does not need to be downloaded to the internal storage before the Chromecast with Google TV (HD) specifications: SoC – Amlogic S805X2 quad-core Cortex-A35 …

Description I have changed the way the patches are generated a bit. Instead of using orange-pi branch from megous tree for 6.6 kernel, I have used the following 6.6 kernel branches from megous tree a83t-suspend, af8133j, anx, audio, axp, cam, err, fixes, mbus, modem, opi3, pb, pinetab, pp, ppkb, samuel, speed, tbs-a711, ths These branches were carefully chosen to include only allwinner related patches and remove importing of most of the rockchip related patches into the allwinner kernel. This has led to decrease in the total applied patch count by 84. We now apply 407 patches instead of 491 patches as applied in 6.5 kernel, while all functionality will remain the same. …

HACK: BOOT ORDER: NVMe SDCARD eMMC. NOTES: In my testing there has been no false starts or hangs up. Meaning the boot process has been stable. The downside to this in my opinion is that if there is an OS on the NVMe it will always take boot priority. The drive would need to be pulled or DD'd in order for SD eMMC boot to kick in.

Description Introduce a driver that leverages the virtual poweroff feature of Trust OS for rk322x that allow Power On with IR remote controller KEY_POWER. It brings the board into suspended state (ie: "virtual poweroff") on shutdown and resumes power when the user pushes KEY_POWER of the remote controller. This is for current 6.1 and edge 6.5 kernels on rk322x family, but it could be possible to extend to other rockchip socs with minor changes. The driver may need some polishing here and there, but it already very usable. To be enabled, it requires the ir-wakeup overlay. How Has This Been Tested?

Description This PR includes the following changes I noticed that we were making use of r_i2c to communicate with AXP chip for Orange Pi lite2 and one plus in linux kernel, but were using r_rsb in u-boot. Made this consistent by porting the patch used in sunxi kernel to u-boot. Moved to board specific crust config for Orange Pi 3, lite2 and one plus. The difference from previous configuration is that crust will now be aware of presence of AXP power chip present on the board and hence should be able to lower the power usage further during sleep or shutdown state Enabled kernel module for Hantro G2 video codec block available on H6 boards. Should allow faster video decodi…

Description Allwinner H6 boards like Orange Pi 3 LTS has this problem where u-boot spl sometimes detects the ram incorrectly as 4 GB instead of 2GB and because of that board doesn't boot any further until its forcefully power cylcled.

Please describe the tests that you ran to verify your changes. Please also note any relevant details for your test configuration. [X] Built and booted image on Orange Pi 3 LTS (sun50i H6).
