Support for vivid unit by uugear

[mlampert]

I saw some initial work on supporting uugear's vivid unit (rk3399 based). I was wondering in what state that is, what is required to complete that work and if there are plans to add that support to the mainline?

 

Thanks in advance,

Markus

Which of these boards are you refering to? https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/main/config/boards

I'm referring to this board: https://www.vividunit.com/Main_Page

 

tonymac32 has a branch for it on https://github.com/Tonymac32/build/tree/vivid but it hasn't gotten updated in a while and is not merged into the main repo.

We have discontinued maintenance and support for this hardware, as our collaboration agreement with the vendor did not move forward as planned.

I guess that would answer the last part of my question, thanks. Any comments on the work in that branch?

Hard to say how far that work has progressed and what currently functions. You are welcome to use it and continue development on your own. Armbian is primarily a build framework, and our capacity for maintaining hardware is very limited — typically to just a few boards or platforms. Tony played a key role in this effort, though he may not be available to continue contributing in his personal time. Getting to this point was already a loss of our precious time.
