- also enable CONFIG_ROCKCHIP_MASKROM_IMAGE for quick development
- fix conflicting vendor hook
- only hack the vendor u-boot down to next-dev-v2024.03 for vendor/legacy
* fix(rootfs): pass GIT_FIXED_WORKDIR inline to fetch_from_repo
Instead of using 'export GIT_FIXED_WORKDIR' and then 'unset' after,
pass the variable inline to the fetch_from_repo call. This ensures
the variable only exists in the context of that specific command
and doesn't leak into subsequent calls.
This follows the same pattern used in uboot-git.sh and kernel-git.sh.

- Remove redundant daily cron schedule (already runs on push to main)
- Add concurrency control to cancel old runs
- Improve formatting and add clarifying comments
- Add push trigger for main branch
- Restructure README for better scannability and information hierarchy
- Add prominent Armbian Imager recommendation at the top
- Improve Build Host Requirements organization (Hardware/OS/Software)
- Simplify and clarify language throughout
- Better resource link descriptions
- Remove redundant "Download Prebuilt Images" section
The README now better guides users to Armbian Imager while still
providing clear information for those building from source.
Update all copyright notices in shell scripts from 2025 to 2026.
## Changes
- **Igor Pecovnik**: 2013-2025 → 2013-2026 (129 files)
- **Ricardo Pardini**: 2023-2025 → 2023-2026, 2020-2025 → 2020-2026 (5 files)
## Additional Improvements
Also updated the backtitle in `lib/functions/configuration/interactive.sh`:
- Changed title from "Armbian building script" to "Armbian Linux build framework"
- Removed docs link for cleaner display
- Uses dynamic year calculation with separate declaration (fixes shellcheck SC2155)
Problem: armbian-base-files artifact for jammy fails to build because
apt_find_upstream_package_version_and_download_url() looks for 'jammy-updates'
in https://github.armbian.com/base-files.json, but only 'jammy' key exists.
Root cause:
- For Ubuntu LTS (focal, jammy), code sets package_download_release to '${RELEASE}-updates'
- JSON file from github.armbian.com only has base release keys (jammy, noble, etc)
- jq query returns null for 'jammy-updates'
- Artifact excluded from build matrix after 10 retries
Solution: Add fallback logic
- First try with '-updates' suffix (jammy-updates)
- If not found and release ends with '-updates', retry with base release (jammy)
- This allows using base release data when -updates is not available
Impact:
- Fixes jammy base-files artifact build
- Allows jammy images to build (they depend on this artifact)
- Maintains preference for -updates when available
- No impact on other releases (Debian, non-LTS Ubuntu)
- works pretty nice (albeit no USB support in kernel, only u-boot)
- this is still `WiP`: once Kwiboo lands his rk3528 patchset,
most of this will change / be much simpler. Just be patient!
- Important: the Realtek DSA switch chip is not really understood
by the likes of NetworkManager and systemd-networkd; they'll think
the board has 4 ethernet interfaces, which is not really true.
Only one real MAC address (the SoC's GMAC) exists; in front of it
is a programmable switch; to make it work one needs custom setup
to bridge the LANx ports and keep WAN separate. Even then, the
WAN port will have the same MAC as LANx and needs to be really
used on a separate physical network, otherwise chaos/conflicts.
For simple usage/testing, I recommend to connect only LAN1 and
disable the other ports in NetworkManager after the first boot.
- Note: `edge` u-boot can be written to MTD/SPI-FLASH and works.
But keep in mind it _cannot_ boot the vendor kernel (it hangs
during pcie init); might work when booting from SD, if pcie is
not enumerated by u-boot.
- works: PCIe/NVMe, GMAC, Realtek DSA switch, SD, SPI-NOR
- does not work: USB (I didn't manage to pick correctly; lets wait for Kwiboo on this)
- untested: everything else
- the gmac works, but is connected to switch chip that is not supported by u-boot
- here I disable gmac1 for the u-boot DT
- that allows for easier booting from USB ethernet adapters
