Hi all,
For most Nanopi devices there are packages in the registry which contain the u-boot files, for example:
https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/armbian-apt/pool/main/l/linux-u-boot-nanopi-r4s-current/
Is there a reason these packages aren't present for the Nanopi R6S?
The reason behind this question is that I used to extract the u-boot from these packages to experiment with other OS'es which have no official release for a certain device. Of course I can get the u-boot from the downloadable images its first couple bytes, but downloading just the package is way smaller. If there is another source to obtain the u-boot blobs I am all ears.
I found that I can build them myself from the armbian/build repository with something like this but this isn't as lean as just downloading a package:
./compile.sh \
BUILD_ONLY=u-boot \
BOARD=nanopi-r6s \
BRANCH=legacy \
RELEASE=focal \
BUILD_MINIMAL=yes \
BUILD_DESKTOP=no \
KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no
Hopefully someone could point me in the right direction, thanks for all the time in getting support to these ARM devices ♥️
