RSS Bot Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago This week's cycle emphasizes broad U-Boot modernization, new board and SoC enablement, and kernel and wireless driver consolidation.A large-scale U-Boot bump moves sunxi 32-bit and 64-bit targets from v2024.01 to v2026.07-rc4, with follow-on updates for self-pinned H616/H618 boards (Zero2W, Zero3, Longan Pi 3H), Mixtile Edge2, NanoPi R5S (now patch-less), and the Youyeetoo YY3588 switching to mainline v2026.04. The imx6 line (UDOO, Cubox-i) was modernized to U-Boot v2026.07 with legacy 6.12, current 6.18, and edge 7.1 kernels. Related toolchain work fixes ODROID-C1, ODROID-XU4, Recore, and X96Q builds under Trixie's GCC 14, and resolves errexit failures on Rockchip SPI boards.Platform expansion introduces community support for the Allwinner A733-based Radxa Cubie A7Z and Orange Pi Zero 3W, Rockchip Graperain G3568 v2, and Anbernic RG Vita Pro and Lubancat-5IO image entries. BeagleY-AI gained USB, PCIe, ISP + IMX219, and VPAC patches on the vendor kernel, alongside GPU acceleration fixes for TI K3 targets and TI Wave5 VPU firmware. Rockchip RV1106 support was split into distinct RV1103G and RV1103B families, and new SPI/NVMe boot and Maskrom recovery paths were added.On the kernel and driver side, sunxi received an H3/H5 DVFS RCU-stall fix, MMC/I2C PM deadlock resolution, MGLRU enablement, and LTE modem USB serial support. Meson64 gained a GPIO pinctrl cansleep series and v7.2-rc1 via bleedingedge, while SpacemiT K1 was updated to linux-7.2.y. The RTL8189ES, RTL8189FS, and RTL8192EU wireless drivers were migrated to dedicated forks with 7.2 compatibility and patch cleanup, and an RTW88 SDIO interrupt storm was addressed. User-visible improvements include swapfile creation fixes, useradd-based first-login provisioning, and video-group access to Rockchip MPP codec devices.#Armbian #EmbeddedLinux #UBoot #Rockchip #AllwinnerChangesboard: visionfive2: optimize config for modern U-Boot and single-partition booting. by @zevlaoxie2010 in armbian/build#10097Add Anbernic RG Vita Pro board image. by @crackerjacques in armbian/armbian.github.io#351Add Lubancat-5IO board image and vendor logo. by @lch08 in armbian/armbian.github.io#348Add TI Wave5 VPU firmware. by @Grippy98 in armbian/firmware#132beaglebadge: drop vendor-edge u-boot target (not in ti-u-boot-2026.01). by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#10126BeagleY-AI Add Patches for ISP + IMX219 & VPAC. by @Grippy98 in armbian/build#10129board: anbernic-rg-ds: make OTG-C port dual-role so USB hubs work. by @crackerjacques in armbian/build#10124Build-Switches: document KERNEL_DO_STUBBLE. by @iav in armbian/documentation#928Bump/rk uboot swig fleet mkspi 2. by @redrathnure in armbian/build#10122chore(deps): patch vulnerable transitive deps. by @SuperKali in armbian/website#33ci(docs-preview): skip publish/comment steps on fork PRs. by @iav in armbian/documentation#934ci: auto-regenerate build lists when image-info.json changes. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#349ci: bump image build cap 30m → 45m. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os-ci-test#24ci: widen auto-retry budget and the systemic-failure threshold. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os-ci-test#23clk: sunxi-ng: ccu_common: Replace ktime-dependent lock wait loop with udelay. by @deece in armbian/build#10119config: rockpi-e: change rkbin repository and use spl-blobs. by @chenxmqqqq in armbian/build#10027cubie-a7z: Add community support for Radxa Cubie A7Z (Allwinner A733). by @shkolnik in armbian/build#10036docs: add Datacenter access section (Netbird VPN + board access). by @igorpecovnik in armbian/documentation#936docs: document PREFER_NATIVE_ARMHF and enrich arm64-compat-vdso entry. by @iav in armbian/documentation#921docs: exclude docs/README.md from mkdocs build. by @iav in armbian/documentation#933docs: use unpinned python3-dev in setup instructions. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/documentation#935Drop testing-wireless-performance-test.yml. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#350Enable USB and PCIe on BeagleY-AI vendor kernel. by @Grippy98 in armbian/build#10115fake-ubuntu-advantage-tools: provide ubuntu-pro-client. by @Grippy98 in armbian/build#10116family-rv1106: Split RV1103G and RV1103B, cleanup overrides. by @vidplace7 in armbian/build#10011feat(api): serve QDL board metadata and proxy-cache firehose assets. by @SuperKali in armbian/website#31feat(qdl): serve the board registry from the API. by @SuperKali in armbian/imager#163firstlogin: use useradd/groupadd instead of the adduser suite. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#10127Fix swapfile creation. by @pierg75 in armbian/build#10065Fix TI K3 Suite Matching for Ubuntu Hosts and Enable GPU Acceleration for BeagleBoards. by @Grippy98 in armbian/build#10112fix: stop setting LC_ALL in armbian-lang.sh. by @saschabuehrle in armbian/build#10132Guard config-disabled static helpers to silence -Wunused-function. by @iav in armbian/wifi-rtl8852bs#9Import long-carried armbian/build regd-init fix, with authorship. by @iav in armbian/wifi-rtl8852bs#8imx6 modernization: udoo + cubox-i u-boot v2026.07 + kernel (legacy 6.12 / current 6.18 / edge 7.1). by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#10098kernel-rust: ship prebuilt Rust crate artifacts in linux-headers. by @iav in armbian/build#10117Makena: add SC8280XP firehose and Radxa Dragon Q8B UFS provisioning. by @SuperKali in armbian/qcombin#3meson64: add GPIO shared-proxy/pinctrl cansleep series (upstream v3). by @adeepn in armbian/build#10090meson64: enable v7.2-rc1 via bleedingedge. by @EvilOlaf in armbian/build#10079mixtile-edge2: u-boot: main: bump (generic) u-boot to v2026.07-rc5. by @rpardini in armbian/build#10071nanopi-r5s: u-boot: main: bump u-boot to v2026.07-rc5 + make it patch-less. by @rpardini in armbian/build#10072odroidc1: fix u-boot build on trixie (GCC 14) via config.mk -fpermissive. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#10111odroidxu4: fix u-boot build on trixie (GCC 14 implicit-decl errors). by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#10110orangepizero3w: Add community support for Orange Pi Zero 3W (Allwinner A733). by @shkolnik in armbian/build#10103recore: fix ATF v2.8.0 build -
