- desktop images have half the world in their initrd (plymouth?)
- `bdinfo` shows reserved regions, which are hit depending on the size of initrd
- when reserved region is hit, u-boot says `** Reading file would overwrite reserved memory **`
- done by AI after looking at `bdinfo` reserved regions
- hard lesson: all `0x` hex have to be double quoted, otherwise `Wrong image format for "source" command`
- add note about Meco having conjured up `load_addr` (it's `loadaddr`); doesn't hurt
- while at it, remove copypasta/duplicate bootlogo/consoleargs stanza
- u-boot stores env in UFS LUN 1
- use a 2mb offset (different from vendor/Collabora's) to avoid any env conflict
- point fw_printenv/setenv at it at the correct offset and size
- set SRC_CMDLINE, used in extlinux/EXT=u-boot-menu scenarios
- note about d4/d8/d16 irrelevance now as we have RAM autodetection
- note about where the blobs (libdram/libbase/lk.bin) live in GH: https://github.com/armbian/mtkbin
- genio: implemented complete bootloader build according to Collabora's scripts
- main difference from other similar stack is that TF-A builds final FIP, not u-boot
- thus I first disable ATF build initially, then build it in hook
- alternatively: we could build our own FIP, but that would diverge too much
- declare functions inside hook so hashing does all the versioning automatically
- write_uboot_platform() is a no-op; don't write bootloader to image
- ensure bootloader _builds_ across bookworm/trixie/jammy/noble/resolute
- keep in mind original code is for bookworm (tested to build and work on trixie)
- need to juggle the `-Wl,` prefix on LDFLAGS
- this is not mainline ATF and it does "stupid with flags"
- genio: u-boot: always clean optee & first atf build before building
- so one can switch build host with `DOCKER_ARMBIAN_BASE_IMAGE` (UFS...)
- genio: u-boot: using `armbian/mtkbin` repo
- outputs fip.img & lk.bin directly to output(/images)
- disk images do _not_ contain any bootloader
- Switched to the binman-atf-mainline scenario with the same rkbin DDR blob
rk3399_ddr_933MHz_v1.25.bin (TPL blob, as in the old working loader). DRAM init is correct, full
4 GB visible, Linux boots.
- U-Boot and DTS updated to v2026.01-rc5. Added MDIO/PHY node and phy-handle in rk3399-kobol-
helios64.dts, fixing “mdio node is missing”. Disabled i2s2 in the U-Boot DT to avoid rockchip-
i2s ... Could not register PCM.
- boot_targets in U-Boot config shortened (mmc1, scsi0, usb0, pxe, dhcp) to avoid env_buf ... too
small; however, the last built binary still shows the warning (needs rebuild with the shortened
list or enlarging the buffer).
- Boot flow: bootstd scans SD (mmc0) and eMMC (mmc1); SD boot works even without mmc0 in
boot_targets.
- Other changes: defconfig has CONFIG_ROCKCHIP_EXTERNAL_TPL=y to use the external DDR blob.
Boots.
- while it is nice having them, and also a good test of being able to
build the headers "board-side", enabling it by default should be a
global change, and not specific to genio
- fix bootorder (SD -> NVMe -> eMMC); USB disabled as nonworking with mainline still
- use the DT from rockchip64-6.18 so a single source for both u-boot and kernel
- note: the first (and only) RTL8169 used by u-boot is the port closest to board edge
* DFI driver fix to let DDR3 rk322x handle DMC driver
* edge kernel: removal for Gigabit Ethernet DMA
workaround for rk3288
* reinstate CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=y with both current/edge kernels
* Modify radxa-e54c board config to fix leds, network and Gnome
Modify led setup section to use new led device names
Add a keyfile /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/99-unmanaged-devices.conf to set the internal ethernet, end1, used to connect to the internal switch chip to unmanaged. This interface doesn't accept dhcp IP addresses and Network Manager attempts to connect it via dhcp causing errors.
A vendor kernel build with Gnome desktop attempts to use Wayland unsuccessfully causing the desktop to take over 10 minutes to initialise eventually using X11. Modify the board /usr/lib/armbian/armbian-firstlogin file to set WaylandEnable = false if the build is for a vendor kernel with a Gnome desktop.
* Update config/boards/radxa-e54c.conf
Tested the suggestion and it works.
