Changes upstream rarely match exactly what is happening this far downstream. So let's take control by moving the old and patching a new. This gives us more freedom to make edits when we want or need to and avoid errors. View the full article

Description The issue When using ./compile.sh rewrite-kernel-config and then running the menuconfig with ./compile.sh kernel-config, just exiting and saving without any manual changes, the kernel config may still change. This is because rewrite-kernel-config does force some kernel options without any additional checks e.g. for dependencies. Using the config menu with kernel-config does those checks automatically and solves all dependencies. Example: Using ./compile.sh kernel-config on linux-rockchip64-edge.config (e.g. with BOARD=nanopi-r5c), the option CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y is automatically selected, since it is a dependency for CONFIG_EXPERT=y, which is selected in thi…

Description When booting U-Boot for rockchip64 or rk3588 devices, the error Failed to load '...-fixup.scr' pops up. This PR fixes this error by checking if the file exists before trying to load it. This PR partially fixes https://github.com/armbian/build/issues/6398 Unfortunately, I was not able to fix the error with missing kaslrseed (even though it may only be cosmetic). Note: U-Boot uses Hush cli language. Not this Hush cli (!) but a different old Hush shell in Busybox which is very badly documented overall unfortunately. I could not find any Hush functionality or a U-Boot command to check if the command kaslrseed exists. Should we include CONFIG_CMD_KASLRSEED for e…

Description Added the necessary parts to create linux-libc-dev packages when creating armbian images. This functionality was not added to the new build system but worked just fine up until v23.02. In my opinion linux-libc-dev should always be created when building an armbian kernel as the kernel versions often differ greatly from the ones natively in the distros (eg. debian bookworm: 6.1.76 vs. armbian current 6.6.21). Also the armbian package source previously included the package but does not anymore, so the latest updates available were 23.02.2. See also https://forum.armbian.com/topic/36140-linux-libc-dev-packages-not-available-after-2302/#comment-184962 How Has T…

Dear Armbian Community, Here are the latest news! With each new Armbian release, we bring you plenty of improvements. However, we also encounter some new bugs along the way. While some are our own doing, most come from various sources. Much of the software we distribute is common and maintained by third parties upstream, with our main focus on single board computers. Challenges and Improvements During the first week after the release, we faced some problems with the package repository. Our system is highly automated, but sometimes things don’t go smoothly. While trying to improve things, we accidentally caused a delay in updates for two weeks. We’re working hard to fi…

cli: introduce rewrite-uboot-patches cli command, works similar to the kernel one cli: introduce rewrite-uboot-patches cli command, works similar to the kernel one it prepares git, applies patches to git, and re-writes them back from git same as kernel, it does git archeology for mbox-less patches, etc uboot-patches-to-git alias is also added, but my guess is rewrite is more useful refactor a common config function for both kernel and uboot example invocation: ./compile.sh BOARD=xxxx BRANCH=edge rewrite-uboot-patches View the full article

Description ::set-output has been deprecated in 2022: https://github.blog/changelog/2022-10-11-github-actions-deprecating-save-state-and-set-output-commands/ Thus replacing it with >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT as described in the guide above. Also, took me a while to figure out how to create and use the ARMBIAN_SELF_DISPATCH_TOKEN mentioned in the readme.

rtw88_8821cu takes priority over the github driver, so this shouldn't effect other units or usb dongles people use. My reasoning is; The rtw88 driver for reasons yet unknown seems to trigger usb fails more often than the github driver. If a fail occurs it will introduce dmesg spam and upon reboot leave the onboard wireless module undetectable.

This PR enables kernel modules for various USB Gadget applications for rockchip 32 bit platforms (rk322x, rk3288) for both current 6.6 and edge 6.7 kernels. Also provides a bunch of patches to address issues with rk322x, whose peripheral mode does not really well with dwc2 driver yet. A couple of patches are self-produced after trial-and-error sessions, another pair are imported from rockchip 5.10 kernel and substitutes an older patch with a bit more refined code (see the "debounce" patch). edit: the patches addressing the rk322x issues probably are worth also for rk3318 and rk3328, since the controller is the very same with similar issues. During my tests, I quickly ch…

Description The idea is to generate output/git_sources.json file that will contain url, branch and commit hash combo. The easiest way to generate file for all devices is to run ./compile.sh targets. Then at the time of release we will copy the output/info/git_sources.json file to config/sources/git_sources.json. Once the file is copied, the hash information from the file will be used to fetch resources for git repositories where branches are specified instead of tags or commits. There can be other ways to do this as well. I am just too tired to experiment more on the same. Raising it to be a communication starter. Jira reference number AR-2087 Based on: https://github.c…
