    legacy

     

    "legacy" is a term that thas been established years ago when there wasn't much confusion about it. However things have changed and now it is, depending on board family, either an old-LTS just for historical purpose or a vendor kernel which may or may not significantly outdated but working.

    Anyway there are discussion about renaming that into "vendor" or something, however the impact would be huge if not done carefully.

    If anyone steps up doing, testing and maintaining this, why not? We won't simply due to lack of human resources.

  2. It is quite common that boards actually like slight overvoltage. This is last but not least to compensate for voltage drop across connectors, wiring and the PCB itself.

    As an example the official PSU for Orange Pi 5 boards, while being marked as 5vdc output, in reality output around 5.3 volts.

    Also cellphone chargers are not recommended since they are not designed to handle variable but constant charging loads. Also voltage very likely drops well below 5 volts under load.
