* Refactor armbian-config into install as external package
- https://github.armbian.com/configng repository is always present
- package can still be removed from the install list
Since this tool will have deeper integration with Armbian, we should probably drop possibility to remove the tool from the list.
* Enable armbian-config as extension
- with DEBUG=yes, allows us to see what is leftover in directory during builds
- with new cleaning in separate commit, there shouldn't be any leftovers _at all_
- with this, every u-boot build will be a full rebuild.
- still, building u-boot is pretty fast
- and it is better to be a bit slower and actually produce correct results
- incl some indicative fdt/extlinux/gpt info
- include full config and defconfig for each target
- mark the old .config file as legacy (it was always the last-target's config)
- fix: savedefconfig after build, not before (as target_map might change it)
- fix: some very old u-boots (2011, odroidc1) do not have `savedefconfig` at all, so make it optional
- fix: same for `.config` -- very old u-boots worked different (`boards.cfg`?)
- this affects `rewrite-kernel-config` and `kernel-config` CLIs
- this does not actually change the .config's we have, that will happen later / gradually as configs are rewritten
- no more `.defconfig` files are produced (they were in gitignore)
In order for the cleanup to be correct for tools, we need to pass
the VMLINUX_BTF variable, which contains the real path to the vmlinux
file we just compiled.
The vmlinux file itself is not involved in cleaning,
but the Makefile checks for its presence and cleaning
is aborted if it is not found.
armbian-config uses debconf-apt-progress which is part of debconf.
libtext-iconv-perl is needed to prevent the following error, when
uninstalling a package through debconf-apt-progress:
Can't locate object method "new" via package "Text::Iconv" (perhaps you forgot to load "Text::Iconv"?) at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Encoding.pm line 65, <GEN2> line 2.
dpkg: error processing package nfs-common (--configure):
- we've some smelly stuff in write_uboot_platform for some families that we'd rather catch early
- implement small syntax fixes in setup_write_uboot_platform
* Add a list of BASH shell aliases and merge them with ohmyZSH aliases
* Add command armbian-upgrade to the BSP which executes update + upgrade
* Display armbian-upgrade only if there are upgrades
* Generate empty folder where will store data. This doesn't exists at early start
* Move armbian-install to /usr/bin and autoexecute sudo
The kernel option `CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS_NONE` was superseded by `CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS` in 6.12.
Adapt the kernel compilation script accordingly to force the correct kernel option.

This temporary workaround was only needed for tinkerboard and xt-q8l-v10 version 2022.04 U-Boot. The version has since bumped to 2024.07 and builds fine without this.
- this avoids trouble building certain older versions with binman
- as it tries to `os.path.join(os.getenv('HOME'), 'bin')` and gets a `None` and dies
- naming names: `tinkerboard` & `xt-q8l-v10` (BOARDFAMILY=rockchip), which _actually use_ binman & 22.04 combo
Validates the dts/dtb file for the selected board and outputs the validation logs to the user.
This can be used when adding a new board, developing or improving a dts file. Should lead to higher quality device trees and patches overall, if used.
Will show warnings/errors if patches patch in some functionalities to a devicetree file without patching in the dt-bindings .yaml at the same time.
- in preparation for tightening the shellcheck severity level
- it needs to be able to follow all sources; dynamic ones are ignored, static ones need root-relative prefix
- we had `_DEBUG=n` forced, which conflicted with `_EXPERT=y`;
- some important SBC features (like _GPIO_SYSFS) depend on _EXPERT=y
- we've plans to enable BTF/CO-RE kernels soon, so removing the non-debug enforcement makes some sense
- also, .config's will be free to determine debug config, nothing's changing in those here
- remove the `_EMBEDDED` special case handling, we can do that as well now
- add a separate hook to renable `CONFIG_GPIO_SYSFS=y`; it was a victim of `EXPERT=n` in some kernels
- this does not include rewrites of all the .configs -- those should be done in a separate batch -- either way effect is the same, hooks will always override .config's
- during rewrites, a large number of new options will show up, since `_EXPERT=y` is used as dependency for many of Kernel's experimental-ish features
Validates the dts/dtb file for the selected board and outputs the validation logs to the user.
This can be used when adding a new board, developing or improving a dts file. Should lead to higher quality device trees and patches overall, if used.
Since `armbian_kernel_config` is "NOT for user consumption. Do NOT use this hook, this is internal to Armbian."
`custom_kernel_config` is able to overwrite previously set values.
Disable CONFIG_EXPERT as well since DEBUG_KERNEL=y is a dependency for EXPERT=y, meaning DEBUG_KERNEL would be re-enabled automatically if EXPERT is enabled
Manually forcing kernel options with 'call_extensions_kernel_config()' can introduce missing dependencies or misconfigurations. This commit introduces a function which checks the config, re-establishes its sanity if necessary and outputs any changes to the user.
This also makes `./compile.sh kernel-config` (exiting without changes) and `./compile.sh rewrite-kernel-config` ouput the same config file. Previously, this was not the case.
* Re-add functionality to create linux-libc-dev when building kernel packages.
* linux-libc-dev: append -${BRANCH}-${LINUXFAMILY} to package name and update control file
- RTW8723DS, RTW8723DU is unsupported/deprecated/obsolete by the author since kernel 6.7 in favor of RTW88, so deprecate it for kernel >=6.8
- RTL88x2cs specifically says in its repo: "USE RTW88 NOT THIS DRIVER", so deprecate in favor of RTW88, except for meson64 family
- move random RTL88x2cs hook specific for meson64 family in drivers_network.sh to their family config
Also add commit dates to make life prettier and easier
The following drivers have been updated with fixes for 6.8
- driver_rtl8811CU_rtl8821C
- driver_rtl88x2bu
- driver_rtl8811_rtl8812_rtl8814_rtl8821
The following drivers have been updated without specific 6.8 patches:
- driver_rtl8189ES (patches for 6.7, deleted two upstreamed patches)
- driver_rtl8189FS (patches for 6.7, deleted four upstreamed patches)
- example: `./compile.sh BOARD=xxxxx BRANCH=edge kernel-dtb`
- outputs preprocessed DTS source for board in question to `output/`
- also outputs same preprocessed DTS source, ran through `dtc` with input and output DTS formats for "normalized" comparisions
This fixes the readability of colorized output of compile.sh when
running on a terminal with a light background. It uses the COLORFGBG
environment variable similarly to how the ip(8) command does.
