This will prevent the kernel driver from issuing warnings "supply vcc-xx not found, using dummy regulator" for the dummy regulators added. Documentation summary for feature / change How Has This Been Tested? Initially the dts entries were manually added to a running system using the dts editor in armbian-config to verify that the changes produced the desired result. Then a kernel patch was created, put into a git repository and an image generated from that repository. After installing the image on an orangepione the dtb was examined via the dts editor of armbian-config to confirm the presence of the req…

Copied from #4255 by @hzyitc - added shellfmt and .editorconfig for consistency Description I notice that the first commit of armbian-next contains too many things (armbian-next: huge refactor, shellfmt, codesplit, logging/error handling). It's really hard to find out what changes we do, because we both split /lib/*.sh and change the code in one commit. It will loss the association between master and armbian-next. This PR is just split /lib/*.sh without changing any codes (except the first commit and the remove of source in /lib/main.sh). So users can find out where the codes come and then following the original commit log. If we want to merge armbian-next, this PR ca…

Description The idea is to introduce the possibility to cache downloads from GH runners to lower downstream bandwidth used and increase overall speed. Especially on machines with lots of runner this could save quite some bandwidth while sacrificing disk space. http caching has been tested and seem to work nicely. https caching is a lot more tricky and may be introduced later. This PR has two parts: set apt repository to http instead of https where possible. Packages are signed anyways. Pass various proxy environment variables to docker so it respects those. Doesn't make sense not to pass them since when using PREFER_DOCKER=no and any of these variables are set beforeh…

Proposal to create a Community Supported config for Amlogic based TV Boxes to pickup the work that was done previously by balbes150 but is no longer supported by him. This also provides a place where development can occur within the Armbian framework since others on the internet are producing builds called Armbian that are not done from within the Armbian community. The strategy for Amlogic based TV Boxes has been to reuse the native u-boot that comes installed on the box on emmc. Through a process called 'multiboot enabling' a u-boot script is run to change the default u-boot environment to have the boot process look for a chain-loaded u-boot on either the sd card or us…

I built a rockpi-s image, it works and dmesg is clean, but you have to tell if rock-s0 works ok. Some other patches have been removed, as @Kwiboo suggested in the mentioned PR and refences to sound codec pcm5102a have been removed from the board device tree (there is no such codec mentioned in the official specs, is there?) and moved into rk3308-pcm5102a.dtbo device tree ov…

In my initial commit I assumed CONFIG_USE_PREBOOT=y was enabled by default. I was wrong. As reported by MicroLinux (Salva) on DISCORD the unit was still having issues booting. I sent him a patch I use which enables preboot and he reported back that "It boots fine now". NOTES: The patch he tested also had boot logo support enabled. In my testing boot logo support is not required.

Description This PR adds a board config file for RPi 5. While on it, the PR also removes dependency on flash-kernel. Instead some custom scripts are added into the bsp package for installation of updated dtb, kernel and initrd files. Using both rpi4b and rpi5b will produce images compatible with rpi5, but the image created with BOARD=rpi5b will not run on older hardware. The kernel config, patches etc are shared between both boards. To prevent creating new family for RPI5 specific kernel, I have added support for something I call kernel variants. This is basically going to be almost same kernel with extremely small changes that doesn't justify creating new family and yet …

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). So this removes the old script that claimed to support this. The Amlogic TV Box install instructions on the forum have been updated to reflect this change.
