Description There is a drawback to configuring audio routing using asound.state. Although you can specify the device of the axg-sound card via commands to output sound to either HDMI or the internal speaker, in a desktop environment, there is only one analog output (defaulting to HDMI). This is because the device actually has only one sound card. By using ALSA UCM to manage sound instances and audio routing, you can freely choose between HDMI or the built-in speaker output in a desktop environment. This is because PipeWire/WirePlumber will parse ALSA UCM and create sinks.

Description Add initial support for board Luckfox Nova W. Luckfox Nova W is recently produced board on SoC Rockchip RK3308B: 4 x Cortex-A35 CPU, 512 RAM, 8 GB eMMC. It also has Ethernet, WIFI & BT, USB-A and USB-C ports, soldered microphone. Product page: https://www.luckfox.com/Luckfox-Nova?ci=646 But beware: it is very fresh board, has almost no documentation and only buildroot SDK with kernel 5.10 is available from vendor. Documentation I decided to create separate directory for vendor kernel patches. This kernel must be the same as rk35xx-vendor-6.1, but this SoC is not RK35XX. Used U-Boot is mainline. Instead of DKMS AIC8800 driver I enabled the one from kernel sources, because I needed to apply patches to it. And image builds faster than with DKMS. UART4 is used for serial console and by proprietary firmware blobs. How Has This Been Tested? [ ] eMMC does not work in mainline kernel, current and edge [x] Boot Noble 24.04 with vendor kernel rk6.1 [x] USB host and peripheral is working [x] WIFI is working [x] SPI May have quirks, though spidev-test appears to be working [ ] SPI1-M1 MISO is not receiving data [x] SPI2 is working Checklist: Please delete options that are not relevant.

Description Please include a summary of the change and which issue is fixed. Please also include relevant motivation and context. List any dependencies that are required for this change. TI maintains its own repository of debian packages here. This PR adds this repository in TI images by-default through a new extension. So when the user performs apt update, apt install etc in Armbian images for TI boards, even TI's packages can be installed. Further, the PR also installs a few of TI's packages by-default in its images. Additionally: it also changes TI's U-boot link from git.ti.com to Github. How Has This Been Tested? Please describe the tests that you ran to verify your changes. Please also note any relevant details for your test configuration. This has been tested on SK-AM62B trixie image: [ ] boot test [ ] apt update and apt install tests Checklist: Please delete options that are not relevant.

Description This is a draft/wip for adding https proxy caching. This is especially designed for machines hosting lots of github runners to reduce their bandwidth usage by sacrificing disk space. http caching has been merged already and only needed minor changes. Caching https however is way more complicated. Encryption needs to be broken and rewrapped and then obviously downloads will fail due to cert issues. Classic MITM. So a new certificate authority (CA) needs to be put in place to allow these "fake" certs. Why is this even necessary? Well one major part is downloads from upstream apt repositories. The other major part is downloading 3rd party repositories and artifacts from OCI/ORAS/whatever the correct name for that system is. They do not allow plain http downloads but redirect to https. So in order to cache these encryption must be broken on the fly. On custom runs this works already with the mentioned extension. However when the build framework is used within a GH Actions Runner environment it would need to detect this and enable the extension automatically. No clue how to do that or overall if it is worth diving even deeper into this topic. Therefore this RFC to collect feedback. Also lots of fail-safe checks are missing. Sometimes I had to mix run_host_command_logged and chroot_sdcard since pipes don't work using latter. Documentation summary for feature / change Yes, this would need documentation.
