EVerest is a software project initiated by PIONIX GmbH, but now part of the Linux Foundation’s LFEnergy initiative, whose primary goal is to develop and maintain an open-source software stack for EV charging infrastructure. EVerest supports multiple standards and it will run on any device from AC home chargers to public DC charging stations. I noticed the EVerest project in an upcoming talk at the Embedded Open Source Summit 2023 entitled ” EVerest: Electric Vehicle Chargers With Open Hardware and Software” and whose abstract reads in part: You will learn how to build your own electric vehicle charger using open hardware designs in combination with the EVerest open-source…

After rtw_usb_alloc_rx_bufs() has been called rx urbs have been allocated and must be freed in the error path. After rtw_usb_init_rx() has been called they are submitted, so they also must be killed. Add these forgotten steps to the probe error path. Besides the lost memory this also fixes a problem when the driver fails to download the firmware in rtw_chip_info_setup(). In this case it can happen that the completion of the rx urbs handler runs at a time when we already freed our data structures resulting in a kernel crash. This has been applied to wireless-next https://lore.kernel.org/linux-wireless/8b4b4228bfd140119665417137a087ea@realtek.com/T/#t [ ] My code follo…

In case of possibile conflicts with mainline kernel, it will be easier to deal with. @brentr I could not test directly the board, since I don't have it. 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…

Blues Wireless Sparrow is a LoRaWAN solution designed to connect a group of low-cost, low-power device sensors for shared data backhaul to the cloud. It is comprised of STMicro STM32WLE5 LoRa-based sensors whose data is then routed through the company’s Notecard-powered WiFi or cellular gateway and ultimately a cloud app hosted on AWS, Microsoft Azure, or other IoT cloud platforms. The company claims the Notecard and Sparrow solutions ease the development of IoT networks in a way that was previously only available “to sophisticated engineering firms”, and now Blues Wireless supports cellular, WiFi, and LPWAN technologies. Let’s have a look at the “Sparrow Essentials” boar…

Description A recent rk356x patch changed part of pwm-rockchip.c file; in particular it adds a mandatory "active" pinctrl state, which is not expected for existing PWM users for all rockchip64 family chips (notably px30, rk3328 and rk3399) where PWM is in use and "active" pinctrl name is not provided. In case PWM is used as modulator for some voltage regulation, may break opp and devfreq framework (in my particular case, a tv box, made cpu unable to do frequency scaling and prevented lima driver to be correctly setup).

Updates for Radxa's Amlogic boards (radxa-zero and radxa-zero2) A few updates, mostly from https://github.com/radxa-repo/bsp; also bump u-boot to v2202.10 with a clearly-non-existing patchdir so it's pure mainline. Also required: https://github.com/armbian/firmware/pull/40 (merged, Wifi firmware) https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/4408 (merged, allows using SDXC cards) Still not working: SDIO Wifi on my Zero (rev 1.51, 2gb RAM/32gb eMMC) which is failing; see https://discord.com/channels/855634073376260096/855657603378839582/1040610755671756911 ; it's very possible other boards work.

Description For some weird reason, vim1s's kernel is extremely sensitive to gzipped initramfs image and it fails to load the same. For this reason, we had a pre_update_initramfs hook to change the initramfs compression algorithm from gzip to xz. But it turns out armbian-bsp-cli package has a well hidden pre-install script that changes compression to gzip if armbian-bsp-cli package is upgraded. This PR moves the compression change logic from previously added pre_update_initramfs hook to postinst script of armbian-bsp-cli. This way we can provide the value from getting overwritten and hence fix the upgrade failure. Jira reference number AR-1976 How Has This Been Tested? …
