Description In order to tidy up (see this PR), Radxa Rock-s0 board patch has been revised to work with the mainline device tree, and avoid shred it. In case of possibile conflicts with mainline kernel, it will be easier to deal with. @brentr I could not test directly the board, since I don't have it. I built a rockpi-s image, it works and dmesg is clean, but you have to tell if rock-s0 works ok. Some other patches have been removed, as @Kwiboo suggested in the mentioned PR and refences to sound codec pcm5102a have been removed from the board device tree (there is no such codec mentioned in the official specs, is there?) and moved into rk3308-pcm5102a.dtbo device tree overlay. The internal/external antenna juggling has been left out for the moment, I need a bit of clarification, as I see there are two GPIOs to power each antenna, but what happens if both are pulled down? I guess it could be easier to handle with just a pinctrl definition rather than a regulator-fixed entry. This is only for rockchip64-edge 6.14 kernel, if it works can be backported to current 6.12 kernel; @brentr will decide what is best. How Has This Been Tested?

Description This PR adds missing Operating Performance Point (OPP) nodes for lower frequencies to the RK3588 device tree. by enabling the CPU clusters to scale down to lower frequencies when under light loads. The changes add OPP nodes for 408MHz, 600MHz, 816MHz, and 1008MHz (for cluster1 and cluster2 only, as cluster0 already had 1008MHz). How Has This Been Tested? [x] Tested with RK3588-based board (NanoPC T6-LTS) and verified CPU frequency scaling works correctly Checklist: [x] My code follows the style guidelines of this project [x] I have performed a self-review of my own code [x] My changes generate no new warnings View the full article

CHANGE: This version tries to boot SD first (thus SD -> USB -> NVMe -> eMMC); before it would boot USB before SD as Armbian u-boot is possibly deployed to SPI, try to make as compatible as possible; eg enable squashfs support enable setexpr and fileenv, used by HAOS HAOS already has support for booting VIM3 from NVMe: https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system/pull/3784 borrowed fileenv patch from v2025.01 to .04 Similar treatment that odroidm1 got in https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/7769 note: I will be leaving my VIM3 behind in the other side of the globe, so this is my last chance to test View the full article

Description Since there is one generic config for all boards from 3b up to 5 and to avoid confusion, I suggested to rename board config file to rpi. Though I don't know which parts depending on this file name need adjustments, like auto-builds in armbian/os or armbian/community and homepage entry. All of that needs to be collected and addressed before or while merge. Documentation summary for feature / change How Has This Been Tested?
