When working on the Linux Kernel, testing via QEMU is pretty common. Here's a look at virtme, a QEMU wrapper that uses the host instead of a virtual disk, making working with QEMU extremely easy. View the full article

The Evolution of SBCs: From Hobby Boards to Edge ComputingOver the past two decades, single-board computers (SBCs) have transformed from experimental maker tools into the backbone of modern embedded and edge systems. What started as a handful of affordable hobby boards has grown into a diverse ecosystem powering automation, AI, and connected infrastructure around the world. From Prototypes to PossibilityEarly SBCs were humble experiments — small circuit boards combining processor, memory, and I/O on one platform. For years they lived quietly inside industrial machines and educational kits. The real turning point came in the early 2010s with boards like the Raspberry Pi, B…

Description A change in kernel 5.19.2 causes kernel oops in inno usb2 phy initialization (at least) when there is an usb3 type-c connector device (like fairchild usb3 controller) trying to initialize the usb2 phy. My Orange PI 4 LTS was entering kernel panic when the monitor was brought on by effect of fusb302 kernel module initializing the whole type-c subsystem (display port, usb2 and usb3 phys).

Being someone who has already experimented with two transformation box approaches for Pitivi in the past, maintainers thought I might be the right person to do a modern one. Creating a user interface for a video transformation requires three things: the implementation of the transformation, a way to draw the widgets over the viewer, and mapping the input to the reverse transformation.

Description emmc and sdio clock registers on rk322x were not exactly properly configured in kernel source code, causing the clock to be not precisely aligned. This was particularly evident during initial detection of emmc and sdio devices and also was clashing with a recent addition to mainline kernel (this commit) This PR corrects the kernel code in current and edge branches (6.1 and 6.2) to fix the thing and possibly increase compatibility, going from this: [ 2.194866] mmc_host mmc2: card is non-removable.

Description This PR includes the following changes I noticed that we were making use of r_i2c to communicate with AXP chip for Orange Pi lite2 and one plus in linux kernel, but were using r_rsb in u-boot. Made this consistent by porting the patch used in sunxi kernel to u-boot. Moved to board specific crust config for Orange Pi 3, lite2 and one plus. The difference from previous configuration is that crust will now be aware of presence of AXP power chip present on the board and hence should be able to lower the power usage further during sleep or shutdown state Enabled kernel module for Hantro G2 video codec block available on H6 boards. Should allow faster video decodi…

Light sensors are used to turn on/off lights, adjust the brightness of displays, and more. But I’ve come across a use case I never thought of: object presence detection. In the digital signage work, such features if called “lift and learn”, and light sensors are used to detect when an object is present and play a video or display information about the product. That concept came to my attention when I saw a photo of Mekotronics R29 digital signage player with several cables coming out of the device and attached to what looked like white hockey pucks and turned out to be light sensors. Apart from the light sensors, Mekotronics R29 specifications are pretty standard: SoC – R…

Description On every PR, a workflow is started to check if artifacts should be built. This happens not only once, but many times, e.g. for every selected reviewer. Since the workflow has cancel-in-progress enabled, workflows are started and immediately cancelled by the next one, resulting in many notifications (see https://github.com/armbian/build/actions/workflows/build-artifacts-pr.yml how many of the workflows were duplicates which were cancelled). Move the cancel-in-progress concurrency policy to the second job which starts only after a check is done if the 'Build' label is even active on the PR. This should greatly reduce "Workflow cancelled" notifications via GitHub…

This week's work centers on kernel and board enablement, CI infrastructure and caching, and user-facing tooling improvements across the imager and configuration utilities. On the kernel and board front, Rockchip edge moved to 7.1 and mainline was bumped to 7.1-rc7, while the Raspberry Pi 4B legacy target was re-enabled after a brief revert of the BCM2711 kernel bumps. New board support landed for BeagleBadge and TMDS64EVM (AM64x) on the TI platform, the Anbernic RG DS RK3568 handheld as CSC, and the Youyeetoo YY3588 received a mainline DTS rework with ES8388 audio routing. Several long-standing fixes were merged, including a meson64 GPIO can_sleep regression breaking 1-Wi…
