Description Bump 32-bit kernel to 6.3.8. I didn't bumped it for 64-bit sunxi devices as drv-rgb-add-ws2812.patch introduced in #5267 makes use of of_get_named_gpio_flags function which is removed in 6.3. As I don't have a Bigtreetech cb1, I am not comfortable modifying code to fix this patch. The kernel module added by drv-rgb-add-ws2812.patch is not enabled for 32-bit devices and hence it doesn't cause compilation issues on 32-bit sunxi kernel. Excluding drv-rgb-add-ws2812.patch, I have updated any patch that was broken, and have disabled patches where changes were present upstream.

@adeepn @rpardini As discussed here: https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/5315 In order to update to the latest rtl8822cs BT firmware for the G12/SM1 family of boards and still provide the downstream firmware for the AXG/GXL family, I created an apt hook to ensure the proper firmware stays in place. I unfortunately can’t test this beyond creating an IMG as I don’t own the unit and the firmware isn’t currently committed. In order to test, someone would need to boot an IMG built from this commit, add the latest firmware to the booted unit and install a package to see if the apt hook works.

Description The 32-bit Allwinner dtb files are under /boot/dtb and not under /boot/dtb/allwinner as expected by u-boot because of the current board config. Fixed dtb location by removing the allwinner/ prefix for nanopi-r1 and nanopi duo2 boards. This issue seems to have already reported on the forums as well - https://forum.armbian.com/topic/28117-nanopi-duo-2-hang-on-boot/ How Has This Been Tested? Tested by creating edge image with the changes included in the pull request. The stable image still doesn't boot because of the ongoing issue with the 6.1.30 kernel image, but 6.2.16 kernel from edge image works [x] Created edge image and booted on nanopi duo2 Checklist:…

The Armbian project is nearing its 10-year anniversary, and we’re excited to announce that our upcoming release Armbian 23.05, codename “Suni”, will be the biggest one yet! It’s a significant milestone as it marks the first release based on our completely refactored build framework! The new framework has been in development for around 3 years, during which we combined our decades long experience with Linux and embedded systems with the latest technologies that have emerged in recent years. We’ve taken all that knowledge and expertise to create something truly exceptional for our users and Linux community at large. Continue reading to learn more about the project and …

BPI-CM4: In accordance with the BSP DTS, set LED gpio to GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW. Added default-on trigger to led-green Board now powers off, added reboot node 'meson64-reboot'. CONFIG_POWER_RESET_MESON64 Isolated RESET ODROID driver and renamed to MESON64 as it can be used in more than ODROIDS. MESON UART Series improves support for UART attached Bluetooth modules on Amlogic Meson G12A and newer SoCs. These SoCs also support the "divide XTAL by 2" bit which (greatly) reduces jitter when generating baud rates such as 1500000 (which is used by the Bluetooth part of the RTL8822CS SDIO WiFi and UART Bluetooth combo chip).

Description The default power_allocator governor will not speed up the pwm fan when temp rises up, but step_wise will do according to cooling_level defined in the devicetree. Before this commit I have to set the governor manually by command echo step_wise > /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/policy on rock5b.
