Description Various minor fixes to rockchip rk3318/rk322x based tv boxes: usb ports gain resets in uboot and kernel, so hopefully they gains some more compatibility and/or less hangups rk3318-box now uses the ddrbin from vendor; it was accidentally switched to uboot TPL during last uboot update some patches have been removed because useless or because things could merged into board dtbs Except for a change in dwc2.c driver in rockchip 32 bit (that may have an effect on OTG port on ASUS Tinkerboard, which is usually unused due to being the power connector), no other boards are affected by these changes. It looks like that USB resets,at least on rk3318/rk3328, are good …

Banana Pi BPI-M6 is an upcoming credit-card single board computer based on SenaryTech SN3680 SoC comprised of a quad-core Arm Cortex-A73 processor, a Cortex-M3 real-time core, an Imagination GE9920 GPU, and an NPU delivering up to 6 .75 TOPS. The board will ship with 4GB LPDDR4 RAM and 16GB eMMC flash. Its layout is fairly similar to the one of the Raspberry Pi 4 with four USB ports, Gigabit Ethernet, a 40-pin GPIO header, a USB Type-C port for power, and two micro HDMI ports. However, only one of those is for HDMI output, as the second is for HDMI input, and there’s also an M.2 socket for expansion.

Description This PR makes two changes for the bcm2711 family: Use FS UUID for mounting the root filesystem instead of the FS label, bringing this family in line with most other boards. Write config.txt and cmdline.txt earlier, allowing it to be modified from customize-image-host.sh or customize-image.sh. These two changes are conceptually independent, but touch the same area of code, so I put them in a single PR instead of splitting them. Documentation summary for feature / change No documentation needed. How Has This Been Tested? Built for rpi4b, with customizations to cmdline.txt and config.txt in customize-image-host.sh. Tested on rpi3b+ board. I do not have a rp…

This skips all git checkout, patching, configuring and cleaning when USE_EXISTING_KERNEL_TREE=yes is passed. This can be useful when doing kernel development by making changes directly to the kernel sourcetree in cache/sources, while still allowing to use the compile.sh to use the same compilation commands, deb package building, ccache, etc. It is also useful when bisecting a kernel issue. Can be used something like this: USE_EXISTING_KERNEL_TREE=yes ./compile.sh default kernel To produce a kernel deb in a few minutes ready to be installed on a device. This is mostly a proof of concept to explore the usecase. In particular: I am not happy with the USE_EXISTING_KERN…
