Description Hello all, This PR adds support for the Texas Instruments SK-AM64B. Features, schematics, and purchase links can be found on the board page[0]. We work to ensure our silicon/boards have "Upstream First" Linux support, so this board makes use of stock upstream U-Boot and Linux, no patching needed to utilize the full set of feature. The only odd part here is our first-stage bootloader, which is built from fetched sources separately (see compile_k3_bootgen() in k3.conf). If a pre-built binary for this is preferred just let me know. Thanks! [0] https://www.ti.com/tool/SK-AM64B How Has This Been Tested? [x] Build/Boot tested Bookworm CLI/Minimal on Current(v6…

Description A lot of people has been asking on the forums for host mode not working on the otg port in 6.1+ kernel. It seems to be caused by patches.megous/usb-musb-sunxi-Avoid-enabling-host-side-code-on-SoCs-where-it-s.patch. The patch claims to solve sleep issue (rtcwake not working) on pinephone. As we don't support pinephone, I don't see any issue disabling the same. How Has This Been Tested? Please describe the tests that you ran to verify your changes.

Description This PR makes two changes for the bcm2711 family: Use FS UUID for mounting the root filesystem instead of the FS label, bringing this family in line with most other boards. Write config.txt and cmdline.txt earlier, allowing it to be modified from customize-image-host.sh or customize-image.sh. These two changes are conceptually independent, but touch the same area of code, so I put them in a single PR instead of splitting them. Documentation summary for feature / change No documentation needed. How Has This Been Tested? Built for rpi4b, with customizations to cmdline.txt and config.txt in customize-image-host.sh. Tested on rpi3b+ board. I do not have a rp…

Description While the NanoPi R6C can in theory also use an Armbian image built for the NanoPi R6S like described on the Armbian website, it was not a user-friendly solution at all. Add the R6C as separate board with support for the latest mainline U-Boot. The R6S is a solid little machine with one M.2 slot for a NVMe SSD as well as two Ethernet ports (1x 1G, 1x 2.5G), two USB-A (USB2 and USB3) ports and even an integrated chip for UART debugging, so you only need to connect a USB-C cable for debugging instead of the three cables with a separate UART-USB adapter.

Translation of Jetson Nano to use a startup with efi\grub (this model does not require an installation procedure on eMMC, so it can be immediately transferred to this startup option). A separate grub-arm extension allows not to break the current state of the grub extension.sh and will allow to smoothly switch to a two-level scheme in the future. All common data for x86 and arm are placed in the upper level (in a common file extension grub.sh ), and specific additions are distributed at the third level (files grub-x86.sh and grub-arm.sh ).

Description As per the discovery made by @brentr , the current kernel for rockchip64 become hugely bigger than usual (13M vs. 18M, gzipped). After some checks, it turns out that what happened before with the appearance of useless and unwanted cruft (PATA, ACPI, SCSI :roll_eyes: , whatever... see linked PR) happened again. This PR restores the a sane kernel config for current 6.6 and edge 6.7, rebasing over kernel 6.1. I double checked against latest sane 6.6 I could find, which is 6.6-rc4 and differences are minor. I attach a "patch" file with the differences from sane 6.6-rc4 and 6.6.13 in this PR (use less -R to see with colors) in case someone wants to check it out…

This skips all git checkout, patching, configuring and cleaning when USE_EXISTING_KERNEL_TREE=yes is passed. This can be useful when doing kernel development by making changes directly to the kernel sourcetree in cache/sources, while still allowing to use the compile.sh to use the same compilation commands, deb package building, ccache, etc. It is also useful when bisecting a kernel issue. Can be used something like this: USE_EXISTING_KERNEL_TREE=yes ./compile.sh default kernel To produce a kernel deb in a few minutes ready to be installed on a device. This is mostly a proof of concept to explore the usecase. In particular: I am not happy with the USE_EXISTING_KERN…

The new "Hello World" module should help people understand the minimum requirements. Note that these requirements will still change over time, given that the architecture is still in alpha stage. That said, having an overview module should help attracting developers more quickly than a lengthy documentation. On the docker side, the dependencies have been slightly improved, but that's actually a part of the architecture I'll have to revise, since one "DEPS" file is not enough for all the various ubuntu and debian versions. I still wonder if I'm going to mimic the 'config/...' folder architecture used for the installer, or if I'll try to shorten it with things like DEPS…

While the Rockchip RK3588 processor is advertised as reaching 2.4 GHz, not all RK3588 chips may achieve this frequency. The keyword is PVTM (Process-Voltage-Temperature Monitor), and we’ll try to explain why it does, and why some of the RK3588 processors may only be clocked at about 2.3 GHz, while others will run fine at 2.4 GHz. This all started with Rock 5B SBC debug party, where we noticed our boards did not reach the same frequency. Willy Tarreau noted the “pvtm” value was different between our boards: Willy’s board: (Cortex-A76 cluster 1 @ 2,304 MHz, cluster 2 @ 2,352 MHz) [crayon-62d3b98029e47968049721/] CNXSoft board (Cortex-A76 cluster 1 @ 2,304 MHz, cluster 2 @ 2…
