Description This adds mainline support for the Radxa Zero 3 (E variant at least) SBC by utilizing kwiboo's patch series for both Linux and U-Boot. How Has This Been Tested? Test device: Zero 3E 2GB [x] build edge [x] boot edge http://paste.armbian.com/osofoyuqun.yaml [x] build vendor [x] boot vendor https://paste.armbian.com/lejunireni.yaml Issues: This PR cannot be merged as it is since I have no idea what I am doing so the kernel patchset lacks proper headers. I had to strip those since the framework did not accept the patch series as they were. I don't know how to fix. Those need to be restored to give proper credit. Source: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-arm-kernel/cover/20240521202810.1225636-1-jonas@kwiboo.se/ this only works for the 3E variant but not for 3W since the vendor variant is a combination of both but mainline provides separate dtbs. This needs attention/workaround as well. BOOTPATCHDIR is just fake so no patches are applied on top of upstream sources. I assume there is a more pretty way to solve this. Raising anyways to create awareness and maybe anyone wants to pick it up and fix things. Feel free to commit adjustments here and bring it in good shape. View the full article

Description As mentioned here: https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/6810#issuecomment-2194178735 Out of date blobs can be an issue if the vendor ships boards with new blobs, as recently seen for FriendlyElec with the NanoPC T6 for example. The release docs do not mention any incompatibilities between versions for rk3528 and rk3568: https://github.com/armbian/rkbin/blob/master/patch-notes/RK3528_EN.md https://github.com/armbian/rkbin/blob/master/patch-notes/RK3568_EN.md For rk3566, only one warning is listed for rk3566_ddr_1056MHz_ultra_v1.19.bin but we're not using the ultra blob (what's the difference?): https://github.com/armbian/rkbin/blob/master/patch-notes/RK3566_EN.md#rk3566_ddr_1056mhz_ultra_v119bin ROCK_USB_BLOB bump depends on https://github.com/armbian/rkbin/pull/29 being merged.

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 rk356x. Multi H264 decoders will make gstreamer and chromium confused. Add chromium v4l2 decoder udev rule for rk3328-vpu 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. [x] Tested on orangepi3b noble edge with chromium from my ppa: https://launchpad.net/~liujianfeng1994/+archive/ubuntu/chromium, 1080p and 2160p h264 videos and 1080p vp8 video are played with hardware decoder.

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.
