Adding the edge kernel to Rock 2F/2A

[humanus]

Hello,

 

These boards (Radxa Rock 2F and Rock 2A) have standard support so there should probably be a forum section for them. In its absence, I created this topic in the section for the most "similar" board.

 

Currently, we only have the `vendor` kernel available for both. It seems that both of them have been mainlined in 6.18, as seen here for example: https://www.cnx-software.com/2025/12/01/linux-6-18-release-main-changes-arm-risc-v-and-mips-architectures/ 

 

The config file for the board currently looks like this:

 

# Rockchip RK3528 quad core 1-4GB SoC WIFI/BT 0-32GB eMMC
BOARD_NAME="ROCK 2F"
BOARDFAMILY="rk35xx"
BOOTCONFIG="rock-2-rk3528_defconfig"
BOARD_MAINTAINER="CodeChenL"
KERNEL_TARGET="vendor"
KERNEL_TEST_TARGET="vendor"
FULL_DESKTOP="yes"
BOOT_LOGO="desktop"
BOOT_FDT_FILE="rockchip/rk3528-rock-2f.dtb"
BOOT_SCENARIO="spl-blobs"
IMAGE_PARTITION_TABLE="gpt"
enable_extension "radxa-aic8800"
AIC8800_TYPE="usb"

 

I tried just adding "edge" in the KERNEL_TARGET line and building an image but this won't be enough to make it boot, will it? Any tutorials on how to get them to work on mainline?
