- 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.
- this prepares everything for the more boards in the family
- which will need `dt/` folder to avoid null-patches
- label & make LEDs useful
- alias mmc0/mmc1 so they match u-boot
- expose i2c3 which is exposed in the 40-pin 27:SCL3 28:SDA3 (blue pins)
- shows up at i2c1 to userspace; why would Collabora alias an undescribed bus?
- 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
- For 6.18 + 6.19
- mixtile-blade3: add 4-pin header fan at 40c
- mixtile-blade3: add gpu nodes
- mixtile-blade3: add vcc5v0-host-en "usb" pinctrl
- somehow results in 2 working RTL8169's behind the ASM1182e on pcie2x1l0
- which just means the _schematics lie_
- mixtile-blade3: drop rst pinctrl from pcie2x1l0 and pcie2x1l1
- this is me probably being stupid, but also required for working ASM1182e/RTL8169
- Status of this mainline port:
- Initially started by Joshua Riek (2023?)
- I then added some PCIe3x4 stuff, but never got around to finishing it
- Specifically, the 2 FUSB302's are beyond me for now
- One of them _powers_ the board. To use with mainline, power the board some other way with 12V, otherwise kaboom.
- See sre's talk on this issue; Blade3 should be similar to Rock-5b in this aspect.
- A challenge has been the PCI2x1 lanes to the miniPCIe and ASM1182e switch
- Which by themselves seem to work, but the devices behind them (Switch + RTL8169 NICs) do not get powered
- Until one day I tried to describe a (in theory) USB-related power pin, and suddenly both PCIe NICs started working!
- All that said, the board is really not stable with this; end-users are much better off with vendor kernel for now.
- Any and all help is appreciated. Those boards are nice, they've 2 FUSB302, and fancy PCIe Endpoint mode stuff.
- Schematics we have access to are in https://damwold5pt25n.cloudfront.net/blade3/file/Schematic_Blade_3_v1.1.0.pdf
- Those clearly lie.
* rtw88 mainline driver has good enough support for rtl8723cs
so stop patching the kernel with this ancient driver
* fixes rtl8703b (same chip as 8723cs) bluetooth firmware name file
- The deleted patch is not necessary because rkvdec patch v7 has removed
h264 sps check at start. And future version of chromium can also get rid
of the issue that patch has fixed.
- rpardini: squash with removal of v5
* 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
- https://github.com/t2linux/linux-t2-patches/tree/6.19
- except `1002-Put-apple-bce-in-drivers-staging.patch` where we had already diverged
- except `7001-drm-i915-fbdev-Discard-BIOS-framebuffers-exceeding-h.patch` to keep attribution
- (don't) Apply suggestion from rabbit (loose quote) - rabbit was wrong
- rewritten against 6.19-rc3
- Add mainline device tree for YY3588 board
- Enable all peripherals: USB 3.0, Ethernet, PCIe, HDMI
- Add RK8602 PMIC regulators for CPU/NPU power
- Enable I2C buses for PMIC and RTC
- Fix pinctrl conflicts (I2C1 M2, disable SFC for UART7)
- Configure USB-C and USB 3.0 host ports
- Add HDMI0 output with HDPTX PHY
- Enable thermal management with PWM fan
- Add SD card and eMMC storage support
- Configure all UARTs, I2S audio, and SPI buses
- ES8323 audio codec currently disabled for further debugging
- no need for vendor u-boot, as mainline can boot vendor kernel fine
- update comments with hardware pin references
- mainline boot order: NVMe -> USB -> eMMC
- boot order: NVMe -> MMC
- GMAC works
- nvme works
- `ums` et al working
- usb3 ports (on carrier board) work
- DT is copy (not symlink) from kernel DT due to NPU nodes
- vendor:
- kernel: armbian/linux-rockchip already had a DTS from jriek
- u-boot: taken from jriek (reorg'ed the defconfig)
- edge:
- kernel: taken from jriek's 6.11 wip branch
- u-boot: generic (can only boot SD/eMMC)
- straight-ish from vendor (which is a complete mess)
- front:
- blue ports work (in usb2.0 mode, which also happens in vendor kernel)
- black ports do NOT work (but are powered...?)
- back:
- white ports work in usb 2.0 mode (as expected, also in vendor kernel)
- those ports have too-long wires (flat cable) and reset all the time
- in summary: blue "USB3" ports at the front work in USB2.0 mode
- rest doesn't
- 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

6.6-stable commit 4e83377 is not easily mergeable with hardkernel 0cd454a
and it is not clear whether the memleak it fixes occurs with the
hardkernel code at all. As such, drop it entirely.
- Created patch/misc/rtw88/6.18/ directory with upstream driver patches
- Removed obsolete kernel 6.16 reference from patch conditions
- Updated comment to clarify that RF path detection fix is only needed
for kernel 6.1.x (upstreamed in 6.18+)
This fixes RTL8822CS WiFi initialization failures on kernel 6.18 where
the driver was not being properly patched due to missing version directory.
Fixes SDIO timeout errors during chip initialization.

- Add U-Boot defconfig patch for nanopi-r76s
- Fix USB3.0 Type-A host port configuration in DTS
- Enable USB OTG0 controller in host mode with power GPIO control
- Set KERNEL_TEST_TARGET to edge
- from linux-t2 project: https://github.com/t2linux/linux-t2-patches
- https://t2linux.org/
- x86: add .config hook `custom_kernel_config__applet2()`
- original patches from t2linux for 6.18 and 6.12
- rewrite patches against v6.18-rc4 and v6.12.57
- `7001-drm-i915-fbdev-Discard-BIOS-framebuffers-exceeding-h.patch`
needed special attention for correct patch attribution (missing From)
- `1002-Put-apple-bce-in-drivers-staging` needs reordering to the
top to avoid conflicts with EXTRAWIFI sed-based "patching"
