Description The u-boot was tied to a specific tag. Now I am setting it to branch so that updates can be directly pulled into Armbian as well. Also removed a patch that since has been merged into the upstream repository and rebased the patches.

Description Reverse commit 75317a0 since this is a special case. Eliminate the real reason for the inability to boot the kernel. Linux kernel hangs in early boot on 32-bit ARM platform, when ftrace 4-byte "mcount" function call location for "_raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore" function straddles icache lines. The problem is present for (cross-compiler) GCC 10, 11, 12. It does not happen when the kernel is compiled with GCC 9, even when condition (1) is satisfied.

Description This patch has been mainlined in the kernel for both v6.6.37 and somewhere in v6.9.y branch too.. There are several reports that it broke rk3328 pinctrl and, as the worst side effect, eMMC controller does not work anymore on rk3318/rk3328 (reports on the forums: this, this and this) I identified the single line that is causing the issue; reverting the single change fixes the bad pinctrl behaviour in my case.

Description I'm sorry, I have created a monster 🧌 But this happens when you create a monster by embedding dependency versions inside shell script files 😅 This workflow is carefully crafted though and works surprisingly well imo :) Some of our scripts download tools from a repo. These can't be bumped by dependabot, so this workflow is a self-created dependabot to bump versions of those tools to stay up-to-date. This workflow only creates a PR if the version was actually updated. Tools currently supported: Shellcheck (in 2 different files) Shellfmt oci-oras Bat This will only run once a month since the tools we use are usually not updated frequently. Maybe every two …

Description Mount option commit=600 (=10 minutes) seems pretty high. Reduce it to 120 for ext4 (default for ext4 is commit=5) and 120 for btrfs (default for btrfs is commit=30) to reduce risk of losing data on power loss. Only verly low settings (maybe 1-10) will have impact on performance according to documentation. From ext4: commit=nrsec (*) This setting limits the maximum age of the running transaction to ‘nrsec’ seconds. The default value is 5 seconds. This means that if you lose your power, you will lose as much as the latest 5 seconds of metadata changes (your filesystem will not be damaged though, thanks to the journaling). This default value (or any low valu…

Description The mt7623 family only has one board (BananaPi R2) and has not been properly maintained in many years. Instead of fully removing the family, bump the kernel to 'current' 6.6 since the SoC and also the BananaPi R2 is mainlined and shouldn't cause too many troubles. No need for 'edge' kernel unless someone plans to step in as maintainer who bumps and tests it on every new kernel release. Also: Add armhf support to Trixie (was this disabled for a specific reason? If so, please let me know. It builds fine though) Move the NETWORKING_STACK in main config to after family config to allow the family config to change it. Please note: I do not own the hardware.

Description The family consists of 4 boards, but hasn't seen any activity in years, is unmaintained, stuck on EOL Linux 4.14 and the bootloader does not build. Thus remove the kernel, the family and the boards which have been unmaintained for some years unfortunately. See https://github.com/armbian/build/issues/6821#issuecomment-2200664955 If you have any objections for this removal or would like to maintain these boards, please tell :) If at some point in the future someone wants to bring back one of those boards, they can find this PR/commit through a GitHub search. But there wasn't too much information removed, to support new kernels >=6.6, work would likely have …

Description Move tv-box based rk3318-box and rk322x-box target to use u-boot v2024.07-rc5 from v2024.01, mostly for experimentation and also because v2024.07 contains some fixes for rockchip devices explained in this previous PR: https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/6731, in particular we can leverage uboot relocation for rockchip 64 bit devices and rk3328 hdmi/vop/phy drivers are now mainlined. This PR also rework hdmi/vop/phy patches for rk322x and fixes usb issues on rk3318-box The changes does not affect any other board, since none of them actually use v2024.07 of uboot (at the moment of writing the comment, it is still in RC5).

Dear Armbians, Some fresh news for you! Smaller and Leaner Minimal Images Our minimal images have been further optimized, now featuring the smallest possible footprint while maintaining core OS functionality. We’ve decoupled networking from the main build framework, enabling the use of systemd-networkd, essential for keeping images lean. Network Manager is still present on server and desktop images and an option for those who need it. For more details, refer to our updated Network Management documentation. We have recompiled minimal images for all stable build targets and push out bugfix v24.5.3 update. Armbian on Bananapi F3 We’re working on supporting the Bananapi …

Description Please note that this PR does not merge to main, but to another branch for collaboration. This is a continuation of v2: https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/6800 @pyavitz has already done a nice job in v1 and v2 of this PR. Based on this work, I have put a lot of effort in trying to bring this new board family more in line with existing families as well as trying to improve maintainability for the long term. Another concern with v2 was the sheer size of the PR (~55MB which amounts to almost 10% of the repo or ~2.4 million LOC which amounts to over 50% of the current repo). v3 brings down this size considerably, to a more sane number: v2 v3 Shrinkage …

Description rk322x has long been integrated into the rockchip family in this PR: https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/6092 Remove some leftovers in the repo, like the old kernel patch folders which are not in use anymore. @paolosabatino You may have a look at the hardware-optimization script. The tweaks for rk322x do not apply since the BOARDFAMILY does not exist anymore. If you'd like to rather integrate those optimizations in some other way (e.g. integrate them into the rockchip hardware optimizations), feel free to change it :) Also, please double check if packages/bsp/rk322x/50-rkvdec.rules is not used anymore.

Description This PR is part of the big repo cleanup ✨ I tried to find references for the old toolchains. The only reference I could find that was actively using an external toolchain in meson-s4t7. There I have bumped the compiler from 7.3.1 to 7.4.1. A 2019 compiler seems like a good fit to compile a 2019 u-boot :) @viraniac Other than that, I found only this: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/560993ac7aff4aafc94c8533b8d84eda73b4d656/lib/functions/host/external-toolchains.sh#L26-L37 I have kept every torrent that is referenced in that list, apart from the first few ones which are 10+ years old now and would probably not really work well on a modern machine anyway.…
