And next release is just about the corner.

It seems that I'm not in the user list ...

This should be public. It looks its some permission issue ... I didn't want to invite people before a clear usage model is set.

Invite sent. Continuing what I already did - open (and close) issues and attach them to versions - is clear and useful for getting a release notes. The rest has to be declared.

Edit: here is publicly available (copy/paste)

good news - However guess that will be coming Monday once 5.4.0 will be born ( assuming 5.4-rc9 won't be released instead )?

 

There is also bad news :P There is only @martinayotte left doing adaptations and testings on this kernel branch (I am just about to leave office for few weeks and will not do any code) which means "you" will need to step up and help. Recompiling, if things are not prepared, adjusted and tested on all Allwinner boards, is pointless. 1st stage is DEV kernel with 5.4.y anyway ...

gettings new configs/branches/structures, I'm seeing that patch/kernel/sunxi-dev is symbolic link to patch/kernel/sunxi-current ...


Remove link and create new directory sunxi-dev and put new patches there. I made a link because at that time there were no diff.

Ok, Thanks ! So, I will have to delete the symlink first in git and then create new dir and copies all the old patches and update the ones for 5.4.y.

I don't think I will be able to commit by the end-of-the-day, so many small things failing into crack, such random MAC on OPiPC+ WiFi which wasn't there in 5.4.0-rc4 2 weeks ago ...

Among those, I have so many different board to try it out, that make a lot of image builds ...

 

EDIT: Same random MAC issue on OPiPlus2E, which has the same WiFi RTL8189 ...

EDIT2 : Same random MAC issue on OPiWin, which is NOT a RTL8189, but an AP6212, so it is not a driver issue, and both DT from previous RC5 and RC8 are identical, so, most probably something else ...

EDIT3: I've found that both kernel and u-boot don't have alias for AP6212, so the issue was probably there since months. I will try to fix that and redo a build.

and there it is ...

so " dev " will be 5.5 ( once available ) and

" current " will be based on 5.4.x soon ( once ayufan rgd RK3399 and rgd H6 megi got their code tagged ),

Interesting two months coming up.

Push it when it builds is good enough for this stage. You don't need to test everything on your own :) I still have a day or two in the office and can iron something out ...

Yes. I expect we will switch current to 5.4.y in next release which is set for 2/2020 ... if there will not be any major showstoppers. Its still a lot of work on our side, including manual testings. Its far away from just switching upstream tags and running update script. We still maintain insane amount of patches which provide functionality months - a year before they get mainlined.

I've just did the commit, hoping not much broken ...

@megi did you plan to merge the Linus Offical Non-RC soon ?

 

thanks - built with orangepi-5.4 (rc8) but still get the dts duplicate_node_names errors as back then, suppose 5.4 will not be ready for building till megi merged to official?

I didn't have enough time to check H6, I've only done build for H3/H5 ...

I will check H6 later today !

 

EDIT : H6 are Ok ! ...

 Is then now CURRENT unlinked from DEV?

So CURRENT is 5.3.x and DEV 5.4.x?

Right !

Could you tell when we can select the 5.4 kernel from armbian-config => system => other?

I never do upgrades using armbian-config, I'm always using full images on new SDCards.

Allwinner A64 (sun50iw1 and also sunxi64 like the H5) does also work with this kernel on my NanoPi A64 ;)

Welcome to Debian Buster with Armbian Linux 5.4.0-rc8-sunxi64
package bsp-kernel[19.11.3] u-boot[19.11.3] dtb[19.11.3] firmware[19.11.3] config[19.11.3]
branch[dev]

Also BPi M2 Berry did start up with the kernel ;)

BTW: I do use the options WIREGUARD=no AUFS=no at ./compile.sh

Hi, ok just lit up my dev environment and tried to build from scratch ( removing armbian directory and check out again )

Current orangepione plus status building with:

Yes, its broken (as expected) and with some help it will go little faster.

Now this is completely true :) In the mean time it was working properly only for arm64

cheers both - final attempt for today, which actually appers to be third time " lucky " : 

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/armbian/build armbian
cd armbinan
./compile.sh BOARD=orangepioneplus BRANCH=dev <snip snip>... ...   # same parameters as shown in previous post

 

[ o.k. ] Checking git sources [ u-boot v2019.10 ]    # nice! :-)

 

[ o.k. ] Checking git sources [ linux-mainline orange-pi-5.4 ]   # good stuff!  now megi to merge things for 5.4 final, so no more KERNELRELEASE=5.4.0-rc8-sunxi64 :-)

 

<snip snip>

 

 

Well hats off to youse guys, seems following DEV image has been built : 

Armbian_19.11.3_Orangepioneplus_buster_dev_5.4.0-rc8_minimal.img

 

Grepping on logs shows tons of warnings so will exclude these, ERRORS however

So it is really getting there chaps, well done!

Now where is 5.5-rc1 next ;-)
