Earlier today I pushed a fairy large patchset containing various functional improvements of many boards. If you have Allwinner board and some spare time:
1. Build DEV image/kernel with https://github.com/armbian/build (you need to add EXPERT="yes" to the config to unlock)
2. Install DEV kernel from beta repository
Optional Defreeze kernel updates
Switch to nightly kernel (armbian-config -> system -> Nightly)
Reboot
Switch to other kernel (armbian-config -> system -> Other -> DEV)
When board came up, do some exploration. Most important information is to find out if there is a regression toward kernel 4.14.y! Then make a test report https://github.com/armbian/testings#how-to-create-a-test-report.
If you know how to fix certain problems, you are more than welcome! Our resources are tiny and we can't possible fix all problems
This topic is a place to discuss how certain problems/bugs can be solved.
When reporting a bug, provide logs with: armbianmonitor -u
Bugs:
- serial gadget console is not working (anywhere?)
- Pinebook doesn't boot properly
- Mesa (OS Mali drivers are enabled by default) / WebGL works on Debian based Chromium, fails on Ubuntu
