Description As long as the rockchip-inno-usb3 phy driver has been removed from current kernel, remove it from edge kernel as well. This affects only rk3328 devices, but so far none of them has enabled the driver except roc-pc and station-m1; station-m1 dts file has been removed since it does not appear in CURRENT kernel patch directory, roc-pc device tree has been adapted. So far I tested the phy driver a bit going into the OTG journey. It turned out that does not work at all with the dwc3 USB3 core driver; The phy driver presence is somewhat necessary to attach the proper OTG vbus regulator for OTG function, thus removing the driver will probably hinder future OTG func…

A few years ago I reviewed the ICE Tower CPU cooling fan for Raspberry Pi 4 which is an oversized heatsink with a cooling fan and some RGB LEDs that obviously does its job at cooling the board, but the main benefit is really its aesthetics. 52Pi has now designed another ICE Tower cooling fan for the Orange Pi 5 SBC, and the new Orange Pi 5B, with the same concept except for its low-profile design. It’s probably not needed for the Orange Pi 5 which should do fine with a heatsink, but it may help for the Orange Pi 5B due to the extra heat from the WiFi 6 module. A company representative for 52Pi told us that: I have seen this Orange Pi 5B motherboard posted on your site, th…

Copied from #4255 by @hzyitc - added shellfmt and .editorconfig for consistency Description I notice that the first commit of armbian-next contains too many things (armbian-next: huge refactor, shellfmt, codesplit, logging/error handling). It's really hard to find out what changes we do, because we both split /lib/*.sh and change the code in one commit. It will loss the association between master and armbian-next. This PR is just split /lib/*.sh without changing any codes (except the first commit and the remove of source in /lib/main.sh). So users can find out where the codes come and then following the original commit log. If we want to merge armbian-next, this PR ca…

Geniatech SCB32IM is a sensor board based on Silicon Labs EFR32FG14 Arm Cortex-M4 microcontroller with a sub-GHz radio enabling wireless M-Bus (Wireless Meter Bus) designed for remote reading of smart meters, and also equipped with a Quectel EC200S “IoT/M2M-optimized” LTE Cat 1 module. The sensor module does not actually come with any sensor on board, but provides a terminal block to connect any sensor you may need for your product. It’s also possible to extend wireless connectivity options with Zigbee 3.0, Z-Wave, Bluetooth LE 5.0, LoRa, and more through the GT-IoT interface with UART, SPI, and one GPIO. Geniatech SBC32IM specifications: Microcontroller – Silicon Labs EF…

Description These two kernel features are required for the serial console to be usable in early userspace of an Allwinner H6 based board - ie, the init process. The debian initramfs loads these modules which is fine when things go well, but you won't get any logs from the init script which is problematic for debugging and/or customizing it. This made debugging very challenging as I had no way to get output from the board after the kernel had handed control to init. After this change, the serial console is available and functional by the time init runs, and any logs from init will be output as expected. Note: I've put these changes into the "next" config, but my testing…
