Per PR#4697 this was enabled first on meson64-edge to test. I am now following up to enable on meson64-current. I know that this should have been in before the freeze yesterday for 23-02. I hope it can be included, but understand if it needs to wait. Changes to be committed: modified: config/kernel/linux-meson64-current.config Description Jira reference number [AR-9999] (I don't seem to have jira access to log this) How Has This Been Tested?

Eduponics Mini v2.0 is a Smart Agriculture IoT kit based on the ESP32 wireless microcontroller with built-in sensors to measure temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and ambient light, and interfaces to connect water level and soil moisture sensors. The new board builds upon the Eduponics Mini introduced two years ago, but based on the 8MB flash version of the ESP32-WROVER-B module, a different mix of sensors, a BM8563 RTC module replacing the DS1307 RTC chip, and the addition of Grove connectors for external sensors from companies such Elecrow. Eduponics Mini v2.0 specifications with highlights in bold or strikethrough showing the differences with the first revision of the board: Wireless module – ESP32-WROVER-B module with ESP32 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth SoC, 8MB QSPI flash loaded with MicroPyhon firmware, 8MB SPRAM, PCB antenna Built-in sensors BH1750 I2C light sensor Footprint for BME280 I2C temperature, humidity, and barometric sensor QMP6988 I2C Barometric air pressure sensor [...] The post Eduponics Mini v2.0 Smart Agriculture IoT kit gets more flash, new sensors, 4-channel valve board (Crowdfunding) appeared first on CNX Software - Embedded Systems News.

FOSSBot is an “open design” 3D printed educational robot comprised of a Raspberry Pi SBC and various off-the-shelf modules, as well as open-source software that can be used for education purposes. The FOSSBot DIY robot has been developed by the Harokopio University of Athens and the Greek Free and Open Source Software (GFOSS) community, and builds upon the “GSOC 2019 – A DIY robot kit for educators” with the main goal being to have a platform to “familiarize teachers with modern education models based on the S.T.E.A.M approach. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics)”. FOSSbot key components: SBC – Raspberry Pi Zero W, Raspberry Pi 3, or Raspberry Pi 4. Mechanically and electrically compatible Raspberry Pi alternatives could be an option too although part of the software would have to be modified Storage – 32GB MicroSD card Expansion board – Adafruit Perma-Proto HAT for Pi – No EEPROM to connect sensors [...] The post FOSSBot open design 3D printed educational robot is made with Raspberry Pi and off-the-shelf parts appeared first on CNX Software - Embedded Systems News.

Description Rockchip has released legacy kernel 5.10 supporting rk3568, and friendlyarm has been using it on nanopi5: https://github.com/friendlyarm/kernel-rockchip/tree/nanopi5-v5.10.y_opt/. I did tried the legacy kernel that rk3588 uses on rk3568 board but failed to boot with pcie devices. So although this friendlyarm kernel is mostly the same as the legacy kernel rk3588 uses, it is still the best supported 5.10 kernel for rk3568. Since we have patch board-rock3a-Add-DT-link-for-backward-compatibility.patch, we can use the default device tree file rockchip/rk3568-rock-3a.dtb same as the edge kernel. Device tree file is from radxa's legacy 4.19 kernel repo modified with the following patch: diff --git a/../stable-4.19-rock3/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3568-rock-3a.dts b/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3568-rock-3a.dts index 2287fbfda..07323913b 100644 --- a/../stable-4.19-rock3/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3568-rock-3a.dts +++ b/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3568-rock-3a.dts @@ -4,6 +4,7 @@ #include <dt-bindings/pinctrl/rockchip.h> #include <dt-bindings/input/rk-input.h> #include <dt-bindings/display/drm_mipi_dsi.h> +#include <dt-bindings/display/rockchip_vop.h> #include <dt-bindings/sensor-dev.h> #include "rk3568.dtsi" #include "rk3568-rock-3a-display.dtsi" @@ -13,6 +14,11 @@ model = "Radxa ROCK3 Model A"; compatible = "radxa,rock3a", "rockchip,rk3568"; + aliases { + mmc0 = &sdmmc0; + mmc1 = &sdhci; + }; + fiq_debugger: fiq-debugger { compatible = "rockchip,fiq-debugger"; rockchip,serial-id = <2>; @@ -323,6 +329,8 @@ }; &gpu { + clock-names = "gpu", "bus"; + interrupt-names = "gpu", "mmu", "job"; mali-supply = <&vdd_gpu>; status = "okay"; }; @@ -994,12 +1002,12 @@ soc_slppin_slp: soc_slppin_slp { rockchip,pins = - <0 RK_PA2 RK_FUNC_1 &pcfg_pull_up>; + <0 RK_PA2 1 &pcfg_pull_up>; }; soc_slppin_rst: soc_slppin_rst { rockchip,pins = - <0 RK_PA2 RK_FUNC_2 &pcfg_pull_none>; + <0 RK_PA2 2 &pcfg_pull_none>; }; }; @@ -1051,3 +1059,8 @@ }; }; }; + +&vp0 { + rockchip,plane-mask = <(1 << ROCKCHIP_VOP2_CLUSTER0 | 1 << ROCKCHIP_VOP2_ESMART0)>; + rockchip,primary-plane = <ROCKCHIP_VOP2_ESMART0>; +}; @krachlatte you may refer to this patch to try 5.10 kernel on radxa e25.

XGO 2 is a desktop robot dog using the Raspberry Pi CM4 as its brain, the ESP32 as the motor controller for the four legs and an additional robotic arm that allows the quadruped robot to grab objects. An evolution of the XGO mini robot dog with a Kendryte K210 RISC-V AI processor, the XGO 2 robot offers 12 degrees of freedom and the more powerful Raspberry CM4 model enables faster AI edge computing applications, as well as features such as omnidirectional movement, six-dimensional posture control, posture stability, and multiple motion gaits. The XGO 2 robot dog is offered in two variants – the XGO-Lite 2 and the XGO-Mini 2 – with the following key features and specifications: The company also says the new robot can provide feedback on its own postures thanks to its 6-axis IMU and sensors for the joints reporting the position and electric current.

Disables the use of the obiabf repository by default. Using these packages by default regularly causes problems. The background does not work, the DE does not start, etc. testing has shown that the current version of mesa works fine and does not create problems with all DE. Users who need this experimental version can enable and use it themselves. View the full article

This does not affect the downloaded ready-made ROOTFS, but the new compression value dramatically increased the process time (2-4 times) for user configurations. Adding a variable indicating the compression ratio will make it easy to select the desired value according to the conditions of use of the assembly system. By default, the previous value is set, for a mass build (which is executed from command scripts), it is easy to add any value of the maintainer's choice and will allow you to maintain a high build speed for custom versions that are usually executed on conventional ARM devices with low performance.

Winlink E850-96Board is a 96Boards CE Extended-compliant single board computer (SBC) based on a Samsung Exynos 850 octa-core Cortex-A55 processor plus 64GB flash and 4GB RAM found in a single eMCP (embedded Multi-Chip Package) chip. While the Samsung Exynos 5422 based ODROID-XU4/XU4Q was one of the most popular SBCs when it launched in 2015 thanks to its features set and affordable pricing, we haven’t really seen other interesting Samsung Exynos SBCs in recent years. I did notice a Winlink E850-96Board based on Exynos 850 in the Linux 5.17 release last March, but there was not enough information then. The good news is that the board has now launched so let’s have a closer look. Winlink E850-96Board specifications: SoC – Samsung Exynos 850 CPU – Octa-core Arm Cortex-A55 processor @ up to 2.0GHz GPU – Arm Mali-G52 MP1 GPU supporting OpenGL ES1.1/2.0/3.2, OpenCL 2.0 Full Profile, and Vulkan 1.0/1.1 VPU – [...] The post Winlink E850-96Board SBC is powered by Samsung Exynos 850 Octa-core Cortex-A55 SoC appeared first on CNX Software - Embedded Systems News.

RK3328 UART1 and I2C0 are available on Orange Pi R1 Plus LTS 13 pin connector. Add device tree overlay files for rk3328 uart1 and i2c0. I have noticed chatter on Github (@rpardini) around dtbo naming conventions. I'm therefore not absolutely clear on what is expected. Historic dtbo's for rk33xx are formatted with a rockchip prefix (there are some exceptions). I've used the rockchip prefix: rockchip-rk3328-i2c0.dtbo rockchip-rk3328-uart1.dtbo And the "Hardware" selection in armbian-config displays them correctly without the prefix.
