Description Bump 32-bit kernel to 6.3.8. I didn't bumped it for 64-bit sunxi devices as drv-rgb-add-ws2812.patch introduced in #5267 makes use of of_get_named_gpio_flags function which is removed in 6.3. As I don't have a Bigtreetech cb1, I am not comfortable modifying code to fix this patch. The kernel module added by drv-rgb-add-ws2812.patch is not enabled for 32-bit devices and hence it doesn't cause compilation issues on 32-bit sunxi kernel.

I unfortunately can’t test this beyond creating an IMG as I don’t own the unit and the firmware isn’t currently committed.

Complete Desktop updates for bookworm. This update follows the debian approach of desktops following the task-(desktopname)-desktop install . I also had to split the skel for each desktop to keep installs cleaner as only the files for that desktop get installed and not files for other desktops not in use on the build. skel.all skel.(desktopname). I have done a complete update to the appsgroups and we moved printing and filesharing support to the appgroups to make things cleaaner in the long run. a few new appgroupds added and apps added and removed. everything done . was done with feedback from users. Note : At this point desktops imgs will be bigger then the 8g sd c…

Patch set includes a complete backport of RTW88 as it currently stands, along with extras. Extra: Patch: RTL8723DS (SDIO) Patch: _rtw_download_firmware() warn: missing unwind goto? Patch: Hack: SDIO RX Aggregation Limiting I only have two units available to me with an 8822CS module and in my testing this is only required on the BPI-CM4IO. With out LIMITING the unit will either kernel panic or not be able to send or receive.

Description The 32-bit allwinner boards are known to hang with 6.1.30 kernel. On investigation, I was able to narrow the issue down to net-phy-Support-yt8531c.patch and upstream change for lib/mapple tree for some reason these two changes don't seem to be playing along very well. I am trying to get the reason for it, but so far even after enabling low level debugging, hung task detection, earlyprintk and countless such debugging option, I was not able to get more output from the kernel or to get the kernel into kgdb mode. This merge request is raised as a workaround for fixing the hang issue so that other task depending on the same can be unblocked. Jira reference number…

Remove stmmac change from net-phy-Support-yt8531c.patch as its causing 32-bit allwinner boards to hang on boot Description The 32-bit allwinner boards are known to hang with 6.1.30 kernel. On investigation, I was able to narrow the issue down to the above mentioned patch. The patch is supposed to add support for yt8531c, but it was also modifying stmmac ethernet driver to add a fix for realtek chip. This doesn't make sense to me and removing that code solved the issue. Jira reference number AR-1764 How Has This Been Tested? Created an bookworm current image for nanopi duo2 with and without stmmac part removed. [X] Removing the stmmac part of the patch results into bo…

Description Mainline kernel 6.3 and above implements yt8531 driver. This pull request removes the legacy driver patch and fix the device tree for Orange Pi 4 LTS and other devices to use that driver. Note: this PR has a "dependency" upon this other PR (https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/5290) - these two PRs are unrelated, but the PR-5290 bug does not allow me to easily test without having conflicts later.
