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?

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?

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.

Description Fix the peripheral aliases to ensure consistent allocation when enabled, so that kernel assignment matches the numbering convention of the SOC. This targets the Allwinner A10 and A20 and ensures, that for example if enabling UART2 exposes it correctly in userspace as ttyS2 rather than dynamically assigning it to the first avaliable ttySx slot. Secondly spidev overlays creates an instance of spidevX.Y based on the bus specified with armbianEnv.txt however it does not correctly configure the corresponding pins into spi mode. To resolve this the individual spi bus overlays have been include in the makefile. The desired bus must be enabled alongside spidev or seperately if using another spi device driver in order to be functional. I have also corrected the A10 spi overlays where they incorrectly target the A20. How Has This Been Tested?

Description Attempt to work towards one U-Boot bootscript for (at least) mvebu, sunxi and rockchip64. This adds: (Aligned) load address calculations This will remove the need to update any kernel_load_addr_r or ramdisk_addr_r in case kernel image increases. Calculation is based on either Flat kernel image image_size + text_offset as specified in the vmlinux(/Image) header info Compressed kernel image filesize (vmlinuz/zImage) Clear warnings to user in case files are not found, not able to load or application failed. Merge of armbianEnv.txt kernel options was attempted for sunxi, mvebu and rockchip64. DT folder determination based on sunxi approach. DT file determination based on sunxi approach. Compat with /boot/dtb/fdtfile.dtb and /boot/dtb/vendor/fdtfile.dtb. Simplified some constructs by assuming U-Boot has successfully sourced us with a set of pre-set variables, like ${prefix} ${devtype} etc. Actively set the ${kernel_comp_*} parameters based on calculations of load addresses. Ability to select different kernel/initrd by setting kver in armbianEnv.txt Also: Any warning or error includes a 10 second delay to make sure the user is able to see and read them. Any "informative" message added by the bootscript can be silenced by setting verbosity to 0 Attempted to make the bootscript 'reentrant' in away: all variables required for proper (re)execution are set, which should allow for the entire bootscript to be re-run on a next boot_target. All variables used in for-loops are actively cleared from the environment to ensure for loops work as expected. Any pre-set variable that might be used in next boot_target will be reset whenever necessary. Documentation summary for feature / change [ ] short description (copy / paste of PR title) [x] summary (description relevant for end users) Load address calculation can be disabled by adding load_addr_calc=off to armbianEnv.txt Load address calculation OBOE avoidance can be disabled by adding align_overlap_oboe_avoidance=off to armbianEnv.txt User can set custom fdtdir and fdtfile in armbianEnv.txt, but make sure to only specify DT filename in fdtfile. fdtdir will be used to both load DT, DT overlays and fixup scripts [ ] example of usage (how to see this in function) How Has This Been Tested?

Description Currently, PocketBeagle 2 edge images cannot build (without patch 1) and fails to boot (without patch 3). The patch one just defines the missing variable for OPTEE. Patch 3 specifies root using path instead of UUID. For some reason, UUID does not work with PocketBeagle 2 U-boot. How Has This Been Tested?

Description The idea is to introduce the possibility to cache downloads from GH runners to lower downstream bandwidth used and increase overall speed. Especially on machines with lots of runner this could save quite some bandwidth while sacrificing disk space. http caching has been tested and seem to work nicely. https caching is a lot more tricky and may be introduced later. This PR has two parts: set apt repository to http instead of https where possible. Packages are signed anyways. Pass various proxy environment variables to docker so it respects those. Doesn't make sense not to pass them since when using PREFER_DOCKER=no and any of these variables are set beforehand they just work. So this more or less just harmonizes overall behavior. There is still an issue on line 4838 caused by https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/c0da65087aad628ba0714f23d8d29800f152d97c/lib/functions/rootfs/apt-install.sh#L67 due to absence of apt proxy setting there.

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. This PR adds the RT kernel config file for TI devices. If RT_KERNEL=yes is passed as an argument to ./compile.sh, a PREEMPT_RT image is built. 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. Tested this on SK-AM62B. Test 1: boot test: the board successfully booted Test 2: uname -a test: PREEMPT_RT string was present in the output, thus suggesting that its indeed an RT image Test 3: zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i RT: Further confirmed that the PREEMPT_RT config is enabled in the running image Checklist: Please delete options that are not relevant.
