Since 1a04b50674 triggered comments like 'stupid, lazy, technical criticism, dick, you vs. us' most probably it's the best to focus on Armbian's current mantra 'quantity first, quality second' (trying to provide OS images for as much SBC as possible so it's ensured none of these things can be supported properly).
Within the last 2 years nobody gave a shit about low-level optimizations except @paolosabatino when adding support for RK322X. Macchiatobin, La Frite, RockPi S, Odroid C4 and N2 are all plagued by an artificial bottleneck on `cpu0`. Other boards that were added since 2018 inherited already present optimizations more or less by accident. So let's try to be consistent and destroy N2 performance to be in sync with almost all other Armbian additions of the past few years. Shit like this https://forum.armbian.com/topic/14469-odroid-n2-single-cpu-handling-all-the-interrupts/ is Armbian's future.
* Introducing Rockchip rk322x SoC support
Main features:
- Legacy kernel flavour based upon stable v2.x rk3288 Rockchip branch (https://github.com/rockchip-linux/kernel/tree/stable-4.4-rk3288-linux-v2.x)
- Current kernel flavour based on mainline 5.6.y kernel
- Mainline u-boot (v2020.04)
- Single generic tv box target (rk322x-box) which boots on all the known tv boxes
- Hardware devices (eMMC/NAND, led wiring configuration, SoC variant selection) modulation done by user at runtime via device tree overlays - a script (rk322x-config) is provided for autodetection and simple configuration by inexperienced users;
- Bits added to armbian-hardware-optimization to set affinity for irq handlers
- rk322x-box targets already added to targets.conf for automatic image creation

* Prevent netplan configration if it is not installed
* Resolved expect dependecy of armbian-tools
* More packages added for armbian-tools
* Added python3-apt and rsyslog to minimal installation
* Debootstrap variant doesn't play nice. We loose networking and it affects standard builds as well. Removing.
* Python-to-Bash conversion (#1470)
* Remove python3-apt dependency from BSP package, fix netplan error also on Disco and putting back varint=minbase ... tested Disco, Bionic
* Distinguish package list: *-minimal.list and *-desktop.list
* Enable Wireguard back which was removed by mistake. https://github.com/armbian/build/issues/1471
* Having minbase debootstrap variant for all will require further adjustements with current package base - backward compatibility. Minimal image is now Python free but need further testings ...

* Add figlet to sort out missing fonts
* Moving few packages here and there. Bugfix when creating a cache package list

* Adjustements for bash powered lsb_release, adding some needed packages
* Fixed (no) network problems on Bionic/Disco
* Add rsync to debootstrap_list and few minor fixes
* Adjust text in lsb_release
* Olimex Micro A20: fix wrong boot config
* Remove duplicate depenedency
* Odroid C1: adjust kernel config
The sed command was wrongly replacing every folder whose name ends
in 'log/' with 'log.hdd/', so i.e. '/var/log/ulog/*.log' became
'/var/log.hdd/ulog.hdd/*.log'. Subsequent logrotate exections would
fail due to non existent folders.
In addition, some logrotate config files may have more than one path
per line, so a 'g' option in the sed replacement regex is required
to replace all '/log/' entries at once.
In Debian Stretch, among others, udev's "predictable interface naming" has been
adopted, meaning the onboard ethernet is no longer named eth0, instead it's
"enx00..(mac address bytes)..". Use a udev rule to apply the RPS settings
instead of /sys/class/net/eth0/... which no longer exists.
* Initial commit BPi R2:
Currently working/not working:
- u-boot:
- builds with minor issues
- patching and cleanup happens on 'https://github.com/chwe17/u-boot-mt'
- next (https://github.com/frank-w/BPI-R2-4.14)
- boots with minor issues
- ETH doesn't work with nm
- sata works
- no wifi (needs driver from: https://github.com/frank-w/BPI-R2-4.4)
- USB not working (xhci-mtk 1a1c0000.usb: fail to get vbus) needs investigation
- appended device tree is needed due to u-boot doesn't work with fdt (kernelpacking needs adjustemts e.g. cat zImage dtb > zImage-dtb
- dev (kernel.org master)
- untested, needs adjustments in config (e.g. CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="")
- since no defconfig is available config is based on frank-w 4.16 Kernel
- Kernel builds without issues
- manual packing of kernel and dtb similar to next
The board boots, serial console is available but everything else must be expected as not working!
- to do:
- u-boot needs a cleanup
- binary blobs needs investigation
- eMMC is **not tested** and needs for sure adjustements! (don't try nand-sata-install!!!)
- bootscript isn't tested (only manual boot over u-boot console at the moment)
- both kernelconfigs aren't 'armbian standard' modules need to be adjusted
Only use it when you know're familiar with u-boot commands!
* Small fixes, add bootscript
- add bootscript for patched u-boot (needs patching of u-boot, currently under investigation and not working properly)
- revert cat zImage dtb > zImage-dtb (cause not working)
- first cleanup of dev kernelconfig (remove CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="")
* Minor fixup
-kernelconfig for next was adjustet so that USB is recognized
-firt bootscripts was written to boot with source command (doesn't work 100% reliable)
-slightly adjustd boardconfig (e.g. bootscript)
must still be considered as early wip!
* small update (FDT works now)
-working bootscript
-adjusted boardconfig
-earlyprintk activated in kernelconfig
* First attempt to get ETH working
-all interfaces are bridged together
-performance sucks at the moment (not clear if it's related to insane network configuration or I miss something obvious... :P )
* Major update (see below for changes):
- 4.14 kernel was dropped due to https://forum.armbian.com/topic/7296-bananapi-r2-csc-mt7623-as-new-boardfamily/?do=findComment&comment=55194 and following
- boot.cmd was adjusted to 'clean' mainline behaviour
- next build opition and its defaultconfg was removed (at the moment dev only)
- rework of the network default configuration
- default configuration will be over network.d **not** NetworkManager
- per default all wired interfaces are bridged together to br0 (still wip)
- old 'interfaces' configuration was removed
- boardconfig is adjusted (no desktop until I've prove that HDMI works)
- what works/ not works:
- board boots up without manual u-boot hacking
- SATA, USB3 (massstorage) is tested and works without issues
- due to rework of network configuration this is still wip and must be considered as 'not working'
* moved to network.d for configuration of wired network
- renamed bsp packages
- blacklist wired interfaces for NetworkManager
- defined all wired interfaces as br0 in systemd/network
- defined networkd als default renderer for bionic (not tested yet!)
* The houskeeping commit:
- BOARDFAMILY was renamed to mt7623 instead of mt7623n (including patchfolders etc.)
- Network.d has no fully control over wired networkes (block NM from controll, start networkd on firstrun etc.)
- Further cleanup kernelconfig
- CPU temp is visible from userspace
- missed switch driver loaded
- cryptodrivers are there (not tested)
- still a bunch of work
* Add DMA mem alloc patch
-under testing!
* Add next option (4.17.y) stick dev to master (4.18-rc1 untested)
* minor fixes:
- solve kconfig issues between 4.17 and 4.18
- stick next branch to 4.18
- first attempts to bring up gmac2 (doesn't work currently)
* switch to upstream u-boot
- fix ext4 dependency in patch series
- kernelpacking currently broken
* add bootz & cmd_ext4
* resolved merge conflict
* apply ugly u-boot patch, fix bootscript
* remove unneeded stuff, apply forgotten stuff
* update config for dev & clean up boardconf (remove xenial)
* - drop dev and next, move into default. There is no intention to provide stock kernel
- fixed board description, renamed to WIP, where it can be merged later
- packing boot firmware to the u-boot package
- docker dependencies (aufs will be added later. not essential)
- attached to 4.19.y
- loading armbianEnv.txt
- UUID support (tested)
- enabled ZRAM (tested)
- enabled eMMC install (not quite working properly yet)
- Bionic has some issues with systemd networking.
* gov to ondemand (thermals are conservative anyway), remove unneeded kernelconfigs
* Added AUFS, remove debug from kernel boot parameters, add ath10 mPCI support (which works)
* add power-off-key and rtc
* Added onboard wireless, but it's enabling is disabled by default. Too fragile.
* Change to CSC target
