Description Bump rockchip64 edge kernel to v6.10. Includes the rk3328 gpio2 bank fix from https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/6974 Minor changes have been needed to bring patches from 6.9 to 6.10 (notably, very small rework of the overlay compilation). @brentr rk3308 now has a mainline audio codec driver. It breaks several patches that previously introduced a driver and manipulated it to "sync with BSP" and convert to "component". This commit contains all the modifications I did to allow the kernel to compile cleanly, but the result may not provide working audio or may not provide the same functionalities as before, hence rk3308 audio section requires some more separa…

The fourth prize of Giveaway Week 2022 is the Sonoff NSPanel Pro control panel with four Zigbee modules including a temperature & humidity sensor, a door/window sensor, a switch, and a PIR motion sensor. The controller is based on a Rockchip PX30 quad-core Cortex-A35 processor running Android 8.1 and acts as a Zigbee 3.0 gateway allowing users to add all sorts of Zigbee modules. It also works with the eWelink app to add security cameras which can be some of your old smartphones. We reviewed the SONOFF NSPanel Pro control panel & Zigbee gateway last month together with Zigbee modules and the SONOFF Slim Cam indoor security camera and found it worked reasonably well…

Description Bumping U-boot to 2024.01-rc5 for Allwinner boards. There were some defconfig patches that were failing, I have migrated them to board config file using post_uboot_config_target hook function. This has resulted into removal of several patches. There are still some defconfig patches left, I will move them as and when needed. Apart from that, updated crust support patches for Allwinner H3 as few of them had patch application failure. As U-boot now has AXP313 support, I have removed the patch for the same and have migrated Bigtreetech to use the upstream driver. How Has This Been Tested?

ACTAMID M8S is a palm-sized 3.4-inch mini PC powered by an Intel Pentium N6005 Jasper Lake processor with up to 16GB LPDDR4 memory, 1TB M.2 2242 SSD. The M8S is bigger than the recently announced 2.7-inch PIX NII mini PC based on the same processor, but that’s for a good reason since it offers more ports with three HDMI outputs, dual Gigabit Ethernet, and three USB 3.0 ports. The mini PC also features WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 wireless connectivity, a quiet fan, and a 7-color LED backlight for good effects… Win Element Technology Co., Ltd, the Hong Kong company owning the ACTAMID brand, says the mini PC ships preinstalled with an activated version of Windows 11, but also s…

Single board computers running Armbian offer incredible flexibility and power, but like any mini-computer, they can occasionally hit a snag. When your trusty SBC goes quiet or acts erratically, a systematic approach to troubleshooting can save you hours of frustration. Here are some fundamental steps to get your Armbian-powered device back on track. 1. The power supply: often the culpritBefore you dive into complex software diagnostics, always, always check your power supply. Undervoltage is perhaps the most common cause of instability, random reboots, and even failure to boot on SBCs. Avoid cell phone chargers: While many cell phone chargers feature a USB output and prov…
