Dear Armbian Community, It’s been an eventful two weeks since our last point release of 2023. Despite facing some challenges, we’ve been hard at work ensuring the continued excellence of Armbian. Point Release Recap Unfortunately, we encountered unexpected issues since our release. A batch of images was accidentally deleted, requiring a complete restart of the generation process. Additionally, our main rsync server experienced IPv6 connectivity issues, resulting in delays in mirror synchronization for several days. However, we’ve successfully generated our first set of images, now available by checking out the builds script to v23.11. Enhanced Support Policies To strea…

Description This PR adds a board config file for RPi 5. While on it, the PR also removes dependency on flash-kernel. Instead some custom scripts are added into the bsp package for installation of updated dtb, kernel and initrd files. Using both rpi4b and rpi5b will produce images compatible with rpi5, but the image created with BOARD=rpi5b will not run on older hardware. The kernel config, patches etc are shared between both boards. To prevent creating new family for RPI5 specific kernel, I have added support for something I call kernel variants. This is basically going to be almost same kernel with extremely small changes that doesn't justify creating new family and yet …

Description Recently, I accidentally erased an SPI flash with an bootloader installed and tried to reinstall the latest bootloader. But it did not recognize the attached disks and proceeded to TFTP Boot. Only by stopping autoboot and hot-swapping the disks or reattaching did the bootloader recognize it, and I was then able to boot with the command. I investigated and found that the problem occured after U-Boot was updated to v2023.01. This issue has been resolved by applying a patch that was previously used in v2022.07. How Has This Been Tested? By compiling U-Boot from trunk (linux-u-boot-odroidhc4-current_24.2.0-trunk) for v2023.01, v2023.04, v2023.07, v2023.10 and t…

Description The "optional/boards" directory seems to have been deprecated and actually never used so much. Remove the last board support package there (rk3318-box) and move into extension as suggested by @rpardini. Ancillary BSP files have been removed too. The extension may have global interest because it was a workaround for X.Org and Lima driver: the former was not able to autodetect the latter with some revision combinations. That configuration fixes the autodetection. At the moment, it has been enabled in rk3318-box board and rk322x family. How Has This Been Tested?

Description As specified in PR https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/5967, there was a nasty mistake in rockchip and rk322x source files that were attempting to create two groups (gpio and i2c) on the building host instead of the built image. This caused the build system to crash when the groups were already present on the building host, which is totally not desiderable, and the intended feature was also broken. After some inspection, the groups were leveraged by a couple of udev rules to allow non-root users have access to gpio and i2c resources out of the box. This PR fixes the group creation on the target built image. Note: gpio and i2c gids starts from 900 because g…

Description This PR fixes EXTRAWIFI=no compilation when uwe5622 driver and rockchip64 family is involved. The error was due to the fact that uwe5622 driver has been moved in misc patch directory some time ago, but a custom patch was left into family kernel patches to adapt the driver to rockchip64 platform. EXTRAWIFI=no would not patch the kernel to include the driver, but the custom patch was still applied since it was present as kernel patch and that would cause a failure. With this PR, the custom rockchip patch has been moved into misc directory as well and it is applied selectively in code, so EXTRAWIFI=no works correctly. Also uwe5622 related patches are moved into…

Description We are using unudhcpd from pmos for usb gadget network dhcp server. But this package is not upstreamed to debian, and it's the only package we use for qcom abl that is not upstreamed, so replace it with dnsmasq. Difference between unudhcpd and dnsmasq: 1, unudhcpd is a very simple dhcp server which only provides one ip address to the client. While dnsmasq will provide different ip address on every usb gadget network connect because the mac address of usb gadget network client always changes. 2, When usbgadget network is disabled by command systemctl status usbgadget-rndis.service, dnsmasq will get stopped. If dnsmasq is not stopped, client won't get address …

After enabling those options, I noticed that even though hdmi was working, kernel was not able to find the sdcard and usb was also not working. So I had to use diffconfig to compare our configs with the vendor config and enable some more options. Raising the PR so that others can also play with it as well. Meanwhile I will work on getting Trixie Desktop Image running with mesa 23.3-rc5 from experimental repo. As part of that I will split RPi 5 into separate board config until recent version of mesa is made available in current debian …

Description Fix uboot booting from zstd compressed BTRFS. uboot logs before fix: Found U-Boot script /boot/boot.scr ZSTD_decompressStream error 7 3252 bytes read in 41 ms (77.1 KiB/s) ... SCRIPT FAILED: continuing... Error 7 means "frame parameter window too large". It looks like uboot's max window size specification on decompressor init is totally wrong (compressed data size is used as max window size). Zstd default max window size is 128MB, but I'm unsure is it good idea to malloc 128MB in uboot on each BTRFS extent decompression. So I have capped minimum window size to 128KB - it should be sufficient for BTRFS as max compressed extent size is 128KB. How Has This Be…

Description For some weird reason, vim1s's kernel is extremely sensitive to gzipped initramfs image and it fails to load the same. For this reason, we had a pre_update_initramfs hook to change the initramfs compression algorithm from gzip to xz. But it turns out armbian-bsp-cli package has a well hidden pre-install script that changes compression to gzip if armbian-bsp-cli package is upgraded. This PR moves the compression change logic from previously added pre_update_initramfs hook to postinst script of armbian-bsp-cli. This way we can provide the value from getting overwritten and hence fix the upgrade failure. Jira reference number AR-1976 How Has This Been Tested? …
