Description The idea is to generate output/git_sources.json file that will contain url, branch and commit hash combo. The easiest way to generate file for all devices is to run ./compile.sh targets. Then at the time of release we will copy the output/git_sources.json file to config/sources/git_sources.json. Once the file is copied, the hash information from the file will be used to fetch resources for git repositories where branches are specified instead of tags or commits. There can be other ways to do this as well. I am just too tired to experiment more on the same. Raising it to be a communication starter. I have also added the json file that I have generated today. …

Description ::set-output has been deprecated in 2022: https://github.blog/changelog/2022-10-11-github-actions-deprecating-save-state-and-set-output-commands/ Thus replacing it with >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT as described in the guide above. Also, took me a while to figure out how to create and use the ARMBIAN_SELF_DISPATCH_TOKEN mentioned in the readme. So I updated the readme accordingly so others don't have to spend time figuring it out on their own in the future.

Description I'm rewriting patches with command PREFER_DOCKER=no ./compile.sh rewrite-kernel-patches BOARD=rock-5b BRANCH=edge on armbian jammy, but I get all commit index length changed from 12 to 13. Maybe that's because envirmonts are different between docker and bare metal. So add --abbrev=12 to always get commit index length 12. How Has This Been Tested?

The Green Metrics Tool (GMT) is an open-source framework that allows the measurement, comparison, and optimization of the energy consumption of software with the goal of empowering both software engineers and users to make educated decisions about libraries, code snippets, and software in order to save energy along with carbon emissions. While the firmware of battery-powered embedded devices and the OS running on your smartphone are typically optimized for low power consumption in order to extend the battery life, the same can not be said of most software running on SBCs, desktop computers, and servers. But there are still benefits of having power-optimized programs on th…
