- 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
- small hack to get around stupid "From xx" parsing in Armbian patcher
- also: fix attribution in `0023-watchdog-mtk_wdt-Correct-maximum-timeout-from-15-to`
- 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.
The `DEST_LANG` variable affects rootfs cache content (locale is generated via
`locale-gen "${DEST_LANG}"` before cache is packaged), but it was not included in the
cache hash calculation.
This meant that changing `DEST_LANG` would not invalidate the existing cache,
potentially resulting in images with incorrect locale.
Include `DEST_LANG` in the `hash_hooks` calculation in `calculate_rootfs_cache_id()`.
Changes
- `lib/functions/rootfs/create-cache.sh`: Add `LANG=${DEST_LANG}` to the hash input
Result
Changing `DEST_LANG` now properly invalidates rootfs cache, ensuring the correct locale
is generated.
Build process generated numerous locale warnings like:
bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)
perl: warning: Setting locale failed
This happened because the Docker container and host environment were
configured to use `en_US.UTF-8`, but the rootfs cache may not contain
this locale (only `C.utf8` and whatever `DEST_LANG` specifies,
e.g. `en_GB.utf8`).
When `chroot_sdcard` runs commands inside the rootfs, environment variables
are inherited from the host/Docker, causing locale lookup failures.
Then use `C.UTF-8` locale for the build environment instead of `en_US.UTF-8`.
This locale is always available in rootfs immediately after mmdebstrap,
requiring no generation.
Changes
`lib/functions/host/docker.sh`: Remove `en_US.UTF-8` locale generation,
set `LANG=C.UTF-8` in container environment
`lib/functions/host/prepare-host.sh`: Change locale exports
from `en_US.UTF-8` to `C.UTF-8`
* tools/repository/extract-repo.sh: simplify extraction by copying directly from pool
Remove dependency on Packages index files. Instead of parsing package metadata
to find file locations, directly scan the pool/ directory structure and copy all
.deb files found in each component subdirectory.
This simplifies the code and makes it more robust since it doesn't rely on
index files being present or correctly formatted.

- turns out everybody was wrong, including me
- some (older?) ATF sources won't work, ever; thus
- introduce ATF_SKIP_LDFLAGS=yes to skip it completely
- introduce ATF_SKIP_LDFLAGS_WL=yes to only skip the `-Wl,` prefix
- this is for ATF's that pass flag directly to linker, not gcc
- artifact-uboot: hash atf-building code into artifact version
- 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?
- 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
- 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.
This flag was breaking kernel's cc-option detection, causing GCC-specific
warnings (-Wpacked-not-aligned, -Wstringop-truncation, -Wmaybe-uninitialized)
to be incorrectly added to btrfs/drm/coresight builds when using clang.
* rtw88 mainline driver has good enough support for rtl8723cs
so stop patching the kernel with this ancient driver
