Hey so I've been trying to install the patches by @jpegqs but I keep getting stuck at the " cp orig/*.dtsi . " Aspect of it as I get "no such file or directory" (I'm really new to this and I'm clearly doing something wrong with the asterisk part lol but I'm a fast-ish learner)

I was running espressobin v7 with Welcome to Armbian 21.08.1 Bullseye with Linux 5.10.60-mvebu64 and made an upgrade in a regular way : # apt upgrade The following packages will be upgraded: apache2 apache2-bin apache2-data apache2-dev apache2-utils armbian-bsp-cli-espressobin armbian-config armbian-firmware armbian-zsh asterisk asterisk-config asterisk-modules asterisk-voicemail avahi-autoipd base-files bash curl deb.torproject.org-keyring dirmngr distro-info-data dpkg dpkg-dev ffmpeg gnupg gnupg-l10n gnupg-utils gnupg2 gpg gpg-agent gpg-wks-client gpg-wks-server gpgconf gpgsm gpgv gzip hostapd ifenslave inetutils-inetd inetutils-telnet libapache2-mod-php7.4 libavahi-client3 libavahi-common-data libavahi-common3 libavcodec58 libavdevice58 libavfilter7 libavformat58 libavresample4 libavutil56 libc-bin libc-dev-bin libc-l10n libc6 libc6-dev libcups2 libcurl3-gnutls libcurl4 libdpkg-perl libfreetype6 libfribidi0 libgnutls30 libgssapi-krb5-2 libk5crypto3 libkrb5-3 libkrb5support0 libldap-2.4-2 libldap2-dev libldb2 liblzma5 libnm0 libnss-myhostname libntfs-3g883 libpam-systemd libpcre2-16-0 libpcre2-32-0 libpcre2-8-0 libpcre2-dev libpcre2-posix2 libpostproc55 libpq5 libsdl2-2.0-0 libsmbclient libsnmp-base libsnmp40 libssl-dev libssl1.1 libswresample3 libswscale5 libsystemd0 libtiff5 libtirpc-common libtirpc-dev libtirpc3 libudev1 libwbclient0 libxml2 libxslt1.1 linux-dtb-current-mvebu64 linux-image-current-mvebu64 linux-libc-dev linux-u-boot-espressobin-current locales logrotate nano network-manager ntfs-3g openssh-client openssh-server openssh-sftp-server openssl php7.4 php7.4-cli php7.4-common php7.4-curl php7.4-json php7.4-opcache php7.4-readline python3-ldb python3-samba rsyslog samba samba-common samba-common-bin samba-libs smbclient systemd systemd-sysv tcpdump tor tor-geoipdb tzdata udev unzip wireless-regdb xz-utils zlib1g ... update-initramfs: Converting to u-boot format update-initramfs: Converting to u-boot FIT image FIT description: EspressoBIN 3720 FIT Image Created: Sun Oct 23 13:08:21 2022 Image 0 (kernel) Description: Vanilla Linux kernel Created: Sun Oct 23 13:08:21 2022 Type: Kernel Image Compression: lzma compressed Data Size: 6882687 Bytes = 6721.37 KiB = 6.56 MiB Architecture: AArch64 OS: Linux Load Address: 0x07000000 Entry Point: 0x07000000 Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: c8d92b9c244fdcc9fb56f640d05e6fc4d3f7ffb6 Image 1 (ramdisk) Description: Boot ramdisk Created: Sun Oct 23 13:08:21 2022 Type: RAMDisk Image Compression: Unknown Compression Data Size: 8909801 Bytes = 8700.98 KiB = 8.50 MiB Architecture: AArch64 OS: Linux Load Address: unavailable Entry Point: unavailable Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: 3be954cf886386101311f7673115fa0be0c95366 Image 2 (fdtv5) Description: Flattened Device Tree ebinv5 Created: Sun Oct 23 13:08:21 2022 Type: Flat Device Tree Compression: uncompressed Data Size: 11618 Bytes = 11.35 KiB = 0.01 MiB Architecture: AArch64 Load Address: 0x06f00000 Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: dcfa1e753a26493b713b8d6eee19e0895db09cc3 Image 3 (fdtv7) Description: Flattened Device Tree ebinv7 Created: Sun Oct 23 13:08:21 2022 Type: Flat Device Tree Compression: uncompressed Data Size: 11646 Bytes = 11.37 KiB = 0.01 MiB Architecture: AArch64 Load Address: 0x06f00000 Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: 0230f9e11a6f364dc66c0aca9a72620b19a0f1e0 Default Configuration: 'v5' Configuration 0 (v5) Description: Standard Boot ebinv5 Kernel: kernel Init Ramdisk: ramdisk FDT: fdtv5 Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: unavailable Configuration 1 (v7) Description: Standard Boot ebinv7 Kernel: kernel Init Ramdisk: ramdisk FDT: fdtv7 Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: unavailable After upgrade and reboot the kernel was upgraded to : Welcome to Armbian 22.08.6 Bullseye with Linux 5.15.74-mvebu64 The side effect is that cpu-freq regulation seems to be broken: root@tiger:~# cpufreq-info cpufrequtils 008: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2009 Report errors and bugs to cpufreq@vger.kernel.org, please. analyzing CPU 0: no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU maximum transition latency: 4294.55 ms. analyzing CPU 1: no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU maximum transition latency: 4294.55 ms.

C. What could be done to fix this issue?

I am creating a script that can backup sd-cards running on the system, resizing it with desired value or via resize2fs calculated. I learn a lot but there are a few things I don't fully understand. When I create a backup I dd what I understand is the bootsector, ie I grab the "start" position of the partition I am backing up with fidisk and use that value and a blocksize of 512. I then add another 10mb (in bytes) just to be sure. Usually the bootsector is 8192 big, but not always (IIRC nanopi neo3;s is WAY bigger). dd bs=512 count=$DDBOOTSECTOR if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=$IMG_FILE conv=noerror,sync status=progress I then truncate the file, calculated either by resize2fs minimum calculation or via an input + file usage in df (depending of what flag I start the script with) + bootsector + yadayadayda. (if someone want me to post the script I will, but the script and calculations work, although I "force" some commands) I then loop the created img file and delete the partition on the /dev/loop0 and recreates it to cover 100%. Then format it with mkfs.ext4 copying the name and uuid from wherever I backup from. I mount the loop and rsync / rsync -ahvD --exclude={/lost+found,/proc/*,/sys/*,/dev/*,/tmp,/run/*,/mnt/*,/media/*,/var/log.hdd,/var/swap,/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules,/var/lib/asterisk/astdb.sqlite3-journal} --info=progress2 --stats --delete --force --partial / $tmp_dir This seems to work, but there are probably some things that are just "accepted" not really "perfect". So questions: 1. Should I only dd the EXACT bootsector and not add the extra 10mb? The reason I ask is because if I try to delete the partition with parted, I have to do a hack in the scrip where I simulate button presses, it warns me that "the partition cant be outside of the disk" when I try to REMOVE it. Solution, I use sfdisk to remove the partition, but it prompts me to think there is something wrong going on here. If the size I create is ABOVE the resize2fs reported minimum i don't get this warning. sfdisk was the solution in this case, but still curious on this behavior. If I try to only dd the small part, it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't so I come here asking. (I might be able to do some further research but since I have other questions, why not ask) 2. Does armbian ever update the u-boot via apt? I do my next update with rscync by looping the file and mounting it. But that wont EVER cover the bootsector. 2b. If yes, do I solve this by again dd:ing ONLY the bootsector? 3. I have noticed that sudo apt update on armbian includes armhf even though running arm64. This makes the update process VERY long. dpkg --print-foreign-architectures shows armhf so i remove it with dpkg --remove-architecture armhf and then find /var/lib/apt/lists/ -type f -exec rm {} -v \; Seems to fix this but is this a bad idea? Why is the armhf even being fetched to begin with? To my memory I have not added arhmf architecture... Thanks in advance!
