Description This exposes the ITC content type provided by hdmi spec to v4l2. This allows user space applications to query the driver using V4L2_CID_DV_RX_IT_CONTENT_TYPE. This way user applications can see not only if a hdmi is plugged in or not, but also what type of video is being transmitted. For my use case specifically, I just want to know if the recieved type is no type (V4L2_DV_IT_CONTENT_TYPE_NO_ITC) or literally anything else. This would let me detect when my main computer's goes to sleep with the hdmi out from the main computer plugged into the OP5+ HDMI in. Without this patch, there's no way to tell that happened, as for my gpu/hdmi plug, it keeps the hot pl…

Previously, the u-boot binary files used to chainload u-boot for the amlogic tv boxes were the ones produced by balbes150 in his old tv box builds. There was no source code for them. This commit is the first to convert from those old binary files to newly built ones along with a u-boot patch file and instructions on how to build/rebuild them. Eventually this needs to be incorporated into the build framework to automate it. But for now one step at a time.

Description RK3328 devices often have I2S1 bus available on expansion pins. This PR introduces an overlay to enable the I2S1 bus for Rock Pi E to enable external PCM5102 DAC; I2S1 is shared for internal audio codec and external GPIO pins, so the overlay also disables the internal audio codec. This has been tested and proved to work on Rock Pi E, should work on other boards with similar board wiring setup, but can be also used as a base for other board/DAC combos in the future.

The Bee Motion S3 is an ESP32-S3 WiFi and Bluetooth IoT board with a PIR motion sensor beside the more usual I/Os, Qwiic connector, USB-C port, and LiPo battery support. It is at least the third PIR motion wireless board from Smart Bee Designs, as the company previously introduced the ESP32-S2 powered Bee Motion board and the ultra-small Bee Motion Mini with an ESP32-C3 SoC. The new Bee Motion S3 adds a few more I/Os, a light sensor, and the ESP32-S3’s AI vector extensions could potentially be used for faster and/or lower-power TinyML processing. Bee Motion S3 specifications: Wireless module – Espressif Systems ESP32-S3-MINI-1 module (PDF datasheet) based on ESP32-S3 dual…

Banana Pi has started selling an inexpensive 2.5Gbps SFP to RJ45 adapter for their Banana Pi BPI-R3 WiFi 6 router board that goes for $17.89 plus shipping ($25 shipped here) on Aliexpress. The BPI-R3 router includes five Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports as well as two 2.5GbE SFP cages, but since not everybody has equipment that takes SFP cables, they used to sell it with a $30 TP-Link adapter. The company now appears to have found a cheaper model marked “SFP-2.5G-T” module that works with their board. It’s designed to be inserted into one of the 2.5GbE SFP cages and provide a more common 2.5GbE RJ45 port to the user. There’s very little information about the module except its …

Early May brought another round of steady advancements to the Armbian project, with progress in U-Boot updates, board enablement, firmware fixes, and notable improvements to Armbian’s growing catalog of self-hosted applications. Bootloader and Firmware Enhancements Several platforms saw significant U-Boot improvements. The Cherryba-M1 now benefits from an upgraded U-Boot and reorganized patch structure, thanks to Igor‘s work on upgrading Cherryba-M1 to latest u-boot and moving patch to new folder. Andy bumped U-Boot to v2025.04 for the Lubancat2, keeping the board current. The Radxa Rock 4 SE also migrated to this version, where Niklas refined its configuration and boot…

This week's work centers on Rockchip platform maturation, kernel and toolchain modernization, and board-level enablement across vendors. Rockchip received the largest share of attention, with RK3528 gaining a thermal driver, cooling-map refinements, and cleanup of legacy PCIe and pmdomain workarounds. The Radxa E24C now stores its U-Boot environment in SPI flash and reads switch port MAC addresses from EEPROM, while device trees for the Mixtile Blade 3, Core3588E, and Edge 2 were corrected. New board support was added for the Boardcon SBC3568, and the Rock 5T now ships an edge kernel. On the configuration side, hyphenated LINUXFAMILY handling was fixed in both the kernel …

Following our coverage of a 4.3-inch ESP32-S31 display development board, a Facebook reader pointed out the GUITION JC3636F118C-I-YR1 rotary encoder with a built-in 1.8-inch touchscreen display. It appears to be an update to an earlier ESP32-S3 model, now equipped with an ESP32-S31NRV16 WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and 802.15.4 SoC with 16MB of PSRAM. The rotary knob also includes 16MB SPI flash, a speaker, a microphone, and an optional rechargeable battery.

MCU boards, including the $1.5 BluePill board, have been used as cheap logic analyzers for years, notably with Sigrok open-source software. So it should come as no surprise the $4 Raspberry Pi Pico board can also be used as a logic analyzer, with one developer claiming it can deliver 100 Msps, or the performance obtained with a 1.6 GHz CPU, thanks to the PIOs from the Raspberry Pi RP2040. Hackaday reported about a Sigrok driver for the Pico last March, but the topic was brought to our attention via a post on Hackster.io about an open-source Windows program developed from scratch to transform the Raspberry Pi Pico board into a logic analyzer capable of 100 Msps.

The recently mainlined RTW88 driver for the RTL8723DS does not work at all on the RockPI-S No error messages, but no radio either. The RTW88 driver also blocks the bluetooth radio as well. Reverting back to RTL's own driver, which is still in the patched tree, fixes all this. I'll be working with the RTW88 driver authors get their 8723DS driver working, but, my experience with the RTW88 driver for the USB bus version of this WiFi chip is that it uses significantly more CPU than RTL's driver. To cope with the ever expanding Linux kernel, this patch also includes overriding u-boot's value of fdt_addr_r in the RockPI-s boot.cmd script. Please include a summary of the chan…
