Description The mt7623 family only has one board (BananaPi R2) and has not been properly maintained in many years. Instead of fully removing the family, bump the kernel to 'current' 6.6 since the SoC and also the BananaPi R2 is mainlined and shouldn't cause too many troubles. No need for 'edge' kernel unless someone plans to step in as maintainer who bumps and tests it on every new kernel release. Also: Add armhf support to Trixie (was this disabled for a specific reason? If so, please let me know. It builds fine though) Move the NETWORKING_STACK in main config to after family config to allow the family config to change it. Please note: I do not own the hardware.

Based on this work, I have put a lot of effort in trying to bring this new board family more in line with existing families as well as trying to improve maintainability for the long term. Another concern with v2 was the sheer size of the PR (~55MB which amounts to almost 10% of the repo or ~2.4 million LOC which amounts to over 50% of the current repo). v3 brings down this size considerably, to a more sane number: v2 v3 Shrinkage …

Description This PR is part of the big repo cleanup ✨ I tried to find references for the old toolchains. The only reference I could find that was actively using an external toolchain in meson-s4t7. There I have bumped the compiler from 7.3.1 to 7.4.1. A 2019 compiler seems like a good fit to compile a 2019 u-boot :) @viraniac Other than that, I found only this: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/560993ac7aff4aafc94c8533b8d84eda73b4d656/lib/functions/host/external-toolchains.sh#L26-L37 I have kept every torrent that is referenced in that list, apart from the first few ones which are 10+ years old now and would probably not really work well on a modern machine anyway.…

Description We can also use rkvdec2 on rk356x. Remove all non-coherent-dst-bufs patches because they are suggested by a chromium developer when using libyuvimageprocessor to do NV12->AR24 convert. Now we use wayland gbm to render NV12 directly, so these patches are not necessary. Add rkvdec2 nodes to devicetree of rk356x. Enable rkvdec2 in kernel config and change CMA size from 128M to 384M for chromium's 4K h264 decoding. Change hantro g1 vpu compatible string from rockchip,rk3568-vpu to rockchip,rk3328-vpu because they have exactly the same vpu variant data. Disable h264 decoder of rk3328-vpu because there are aleady rkvdec/rkvdec2 h264 decoders on rk3328 and rk356…

Changes to be committed: modified: config/boards/aml-s9xx-box.tvb modified: packages/bsp/aml-s9xx-box/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf.template The aml-s9xx-box builds use the native TV Box u-boot. I've had as a todo item to figure out how to not build and include an unused u-boot. In a recent PR for a different board the opposite was being done (adding a u-boot where a board didn't previously ship one), thus I then had the info to remove it here. This also changes the generated extlinux.conf to include a fdt line by adding the boot_fdt_file to the board config file. This reduces the effort needed to manually modify the extlinux.conf.
