Description Ubuntu noble ships qbootctl with a bug which makes qbootctl service can't start: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1057918. I fixed it in my ppa liujianfeng1994/qcom-mainline. I use a silly dd method to create rootfs. It's better to use losetup to load the built image and copy rootfs from the mounted loop device. Note: ubuntu noble also ships mkbootimg with bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1050300, which will make this extension not working. So it's better not using noble as build environment. Debian's fix is still not packaged: https://salsa.debian.org/android-tools-team/android-platform-tools/-/commit/d26c3b5ac89efd92…

0xDA LLC’s USB Cereal is an open-source hardware development tool with three USB-C ports designed to simplify the testing, development, debugging, and manufacturing of devices with USB Type-C ports. Initially originated at Google, the USB Cereal project has gone through multiple revisions to optimize its quality and lower the BoM cost, and the device can be used for all sorts of USB Type-C debugging using a UART serial communication with the host device through the USB-C sideband use (SBU) pins typically reserved for device-specific applications. USB Cereal specifications: USB Type-C ports 2x USB-C ports for passthrough between the host and device under test (DUT) Note: t…

This week's cycle emphasizes broad U-Boot modernization, new board and SoC enablement, and kernel and wireless driver consolidation. A large-scale U-Boot bump moves sunxi 32-bit and 64-bit targets from v2024.01 to v2026.07-rc4, with follow-on updates for self-pinned H616/H618 boards (Zero2W, Zero3, Longan Pi 3H), Mixtile Edge2, NanoPi R5S (now patch-less), and the Youyeetoo YY3588 switching to mainline v2026.04. The imx6 line (UDOO, Cubox-i) was modernized to U-Boot v2026.07 with legacy 6.12, current 6.18, and edge 7.1 kernels. Related toolchain work fixes ODROID-C1, ODROID-XU4, Recore, and X96Q builds under Trixie's GCC 14, and resolves errexit failures on Rockchip SPI b…

Description The 32-bit allwinner boards are known to hang with 6.1.30 kernel. On investigation, I was able to narrow the issue down to net-phy-Support-yt8531c.patch and upstream change for lib/mapple tree for some reason these two changes don't seem to be playing along very well. I am trying to get the reason for it, but so far even after enabling low level debugging, hung task detection, earlyprintk and countless such debugging option, I was not able to get more output from the kernel or to get the kernel into kgdb mode. This merge request is raised as a workaround for fixing the hang issue so that other task depending on the same can be unblocked. Jira reference number…

Description Per Igor comment helios64 required work to sync with upstream changes. I took the liberty to keep more of upstream than in Armbian 6.8, namely: I kept nodes at their upstream location to remove unnecessary work when syncing to the upstream keep "ethernet0 = &gmac;" in aliases, to let the ethernet MAC retrieved from OTP in u-boot apply. This will restore this feature (the u-boot was still functional). U-boot retried ethernet MACs are in u-boot printenv output "ethaddr" and "eth1addr". Seems for a few years I had the Linux kernel autogenerated one but my config still had the correct one commented (I did not find why it broke back then). I removed the overc…

Description The type names will cause build problem in focal (use sfdisk v2.34) and bullseye (use sfdisk v2.36) The partition type is given in hex for MBR (DOS) where 0x prefix is optional; a GUID string for GPT; a shortcut or an alias. It’s recommended to use two letters for MBR hex codes to avoid collision between deprecated shortcut 'E' and '0E' MBR hex code. For backward compatibility sfdisk tries to interpret type as a shortcut as a first possibility in partitioning scripts although on other places (e.g. --part-type command) it tries shortcuts as the last possibility. Since v2.36 libfdisk supports partition type aliases as extension to shortcuts. The alias is a si…

This does not affect the downloaded ready-made ROOTFS, but the new compression value dramatically increased the process time (2-4 times) for user configurations. Adding a variable indicating the compression ratio will make it easy to select the desired value according to the conditions of use of the assembly system. By default, the previous value is set, for a mass build (which is executed from command scripts), it is easy to add any value of the maintainer's choice and will allow you to maintain a high build speed for custom versions that are usually executed on conventional ARM devices with low performance.

Arduino was already involved in LoRaWAN with its MKR WAN 1300 board, but now the company has started offering Arduino-branded Wisgate Edge Pro and Wisgate Edge Lite 2 LoRaWAN gateways for respectively outdoor and indoor environments as part of the Arduino Pro family. If the names of the gateways seem familiar, it’s because Arduino collaborated with Rakwireless, and is simply using their existing LoRaWAN gateways. As I understand it RAKwireless will provide the hardware and technical support, while Arduino will sell the gateways and other LoRaWAN hardware through its existing customer base, more acting as a distributor.

This week's work advances on three fronts: kernel and bleedingedge alignment across Rockchip and Sunxi trees, board and platform enablement spanning RV1106 to SpacemiT, and CI hardening with self-hosted runner maintenance. On the kernel side, bleedingedge was bumped to 7.1-rc3, accompanied by cfg80211 API fixes and re-enablement of the rtl8189fs and rtl8852bs drivers for the new release. Both the rockchip64 and sunxi patch stacks for current and edge were rewritten, an upstream ptrace fix for CVE-2026-46333 was backported to linux-rockchip, and the odroidxu4-current kernel moved to 6.6.139.
