NB: This family only has one board (BananaPi R2) and has not been properly maintained in many years, so 'current' LTS kernel is enough.
No need for 'edge' kernel unless someone plans to step in as maintainer who bumps and tests it on every new kernel release.
- Adjust BananaPi R2 board config (board is mainlined)
- Remove legacy kernel patch folder and kernel config
- Remove unstable WiFi stuff
This gets compiled into the kernel and embedded in the initramfs.
It will also be available on the finished img at /lib/firmware.

BOARDFAMILY `rk322x` was integrated into the `rockchip` BOARDFAMILY in https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/6092
This integration made the hardware optimization for rk322x not apply anymore.
Also remove a rk322x optimization for an old 4.4 kernel

The aml-s9xx-box builds use the native TV Box u-boot. I've had as a
todo item to figure out how to not build and include an unused u-boot.
In a recent PR for a different board the opposite was being done
(adding a u-boot where a board didn't previously ship one), thus
I then had the info to remove it here.
This also changes the generated extlinux.conf to include a fdt line
by adding the boot_fdt_file to the board config file. This reduces
the effort needed to manually modify the extlinux.conf.
- Use resolved no matter what manages the network (networkd or NetworkManager)
- Use resolved.conf.d/ directory to set DNS as recommended by resolved itself
- In armbian-firstrun, remove config specific to mvebu64|mt7623 since this is now done by default
Trying to run this in the background does not work correctly in its current iteration, setting the correct place on the screen for displaying did not work out.

- Rename extensions with "net-*" prefix
- Put the extensions into their own folder

- Move some other NetworkManager related stuff into the extension
- Remove unneeded steps
- Install iproute2 by default on all images (for the `ip` command)
- use Chrony with Network Manager
- use timesync with systemd-networkd

Sometimes we need to fix minor issues like changing the key or fixing other small problem on live OS. We can ship this as a part of BSP package, but its handling should be made easy.
This downloads script from CDN, verify its signature and executes after apt upgrade starts installing packages.
* Record patch output to syslog
* Enable armbian-live-patch as additional service and run patch mechanism at startup
* Additional security check
- this allows user to enter UMS mode from GRUB
- for usage with the `initramfs-usb-gadget-ums` extension
- has no effect unless `initramfs-usb-gadget-ums` extension is enabled together with `grub-with-dtb`
Improve naming confusion by changing build framework defaults. Set framework defaults VENDOR to Armbian-unofficial for self build images. Unsupported boards and unsupported distribution have framework defaults, except VENDOR and VENDORURL. We build images with predefined values.
- this should make `09_linux_with_dtb.sh` work across all RELEASE's, `sid` and `mantic` included
- extra: if `grub-mkconfig` (`update-grub`) fails, show all involved source files
The service is only enabled by default on Vim4 as that board heats
a lot and a fan is absolutely necessary. Service will be available
on vim1s as well and if someone has purchased the fan for it, they
would be able to enable it themselves.
The service is only added for legacy kernel right now as I am not
sure if the upcoming 5.15 kernel will have same sysfs interface for
fan.
ifconfig is no longer included in a default install of Armbian Bookworm, causing armbian-firstrun-config to silently fail when attempting to retrieve a list of network adapters. Using nmcli instead.
A change to ledtrig_netdev causes the boot to fail on Orangepi-r1plus-lts and possibly other boards. The board boots and LED netdev trigger works if service is modified to use After=timers.target.

Meson64-reboot driver: (source: tobetter)
While the current meson64-reboot driver is cleaner and doesn't
depend on modding other kernel sources, its functionality leaves
much to be desired. One example can be found in the ODROID C4.
Using the current driver, the board will not properly power off,
leaving the POWER LED still on. The new driver powers off the unit
completely.

- introduce hooks `grub_early_config`, `grub_pre_install` and `grub_late_config`
- what we see here is an extension that itself has hooks, that just works
- introduce extension `grub-with-dtb`, which
- enables `grub` extension
- requires `BOOT_FDT_FILE` to be set
- includes `/etc/armbian-grub-with-dtb` with `BOOT_FDT_FILE=` in the bsp-cli
- includes `/etc/kernel/postinst.d/armbian-grub-with-dtb` in the bsp-cli
- which reads the above and creates links for `/boot/armbian-dtb-<version>` when deploying deb's
- adds implementations of the hooks above to
- replace the distro's `10_linux` with our own `09_linux_with_dtb`
- which looks for `/boot/armbian-dtb-<version>`
- forcibly run `/etc/kernel/postinst.d/armbian-grub-with-dtb` during image build, since bsp-cli is installed after linux-image
- uefi-arm64: enable GRUB wallpaper by setting `UEFI_GRUB_TERMINAL=gfxterm`

- same for directory /usr/lib/nand-sata-install:
- rename this directory to /usr/lib/armbian-install
- create a symbolic link nand-sata-install to this folder for backward compatibility
in a subsequent commit
- abort script armbian-install with an error message:
- if file ${EX_LIST} does not exist
- if dir ${BOOTLOADER} does not exist
- remove the "beta" from the version title of armbian-install
* Add symlink /usr/lib/nand-sata-install to /usr/lib/armbian-install
In commit 0aa61abe7 (armbian-audio-config: Massively speed up script)
this script was changed to not call amixer for each control, but just
once for each card, feeding commands for many controls in one invocation
with the `--stdin` option.
In that commit, two errors were introduced:
- Controls that were intended to be muted were turned on instead. This
affects the "CD", "Mic" and "Internal Speaker" controls.
This occured because there is a helper shell function whose arguments
were renumbered, but the last argument kept the old numbering,
keeping it always at the default value of "on", even when it should
have been "mute".
- Controls with a space in their name would be ignored. In the original
script, arguments (including these names) were quoted and passed
separately to the `amixer` command. Now, they are quoted when passed
to `echo`, but that produces an unstructured line with the quoting
removed that can no longer be correctly parsed by amixer for names
with spaces.
This commit fixes both problems be correctly numbering the arguments and
adding an additional layer of quoting.
- this issue was introduced by commit 7e9ebe1
- the variable sduuid is supposed to start with "UUID="
- fixed now by prepending UUID= to $sduuid, if the "raw" $sduuid is not empty

Previously, the u-boot binary files used to chainload u-boot for the
amlogic tv boxes were the ones produced by balbes150 in his old
tv box builds. There was no source code for them.
This commit is the first to convert from those old binary files
to newly built ones along with a u-boot patch file and instructions
on how to build/rebuild them. Eventually this needs to be incorporated into
the build framework to automate it. But for now one step at a time.

* Don't display RX today: Error: No interface matching when wrong NIC is detected
* Improve checking
* Address shellcheck problem
* Switch conditions order
* Fix variable $root_partition_device to be a device path
- variable $root_partition_device is intended to be a
device path as /dev/$root_partition_device_name
* Fix determination and usage of variable $sduuid
- a) lookup mmc devices excluding the mmc device probably providing
the current root partition
- b) if there is no sduuid determined by this lookup,
then lookup any mmc partition matching /dev/mmcblk*p1
- c) move the sduuid calculation to the script header
to enable usage for scenario selection filtering
- d) hide installation scenario #1 selection,
if $sduuid is empty, since $sduuid is essential for that scenario
* Hide current root partition device from destination selection
- add new variable $root_partition_name
- use this variable to filter current root partition
from destination selection in check_partitions()
* Fix behavior in case of no available partition
- The logic in check_partitions() in case of no available
partition is improved not to fail for a hidden reason
and UX for fresh disk devices is improved
- Fix the calculation of $FREE_SPACE for devices without or
with an empty partition table
- Ask the user to proceed AFTER the minimum free capacity
required is verified
- Improve the logic for auto-creating initial partitions
as follows:
1. Check for a minimum free space of 4GB for a partition
2. Ask user to proceed with auto-created partition(s) or not
3. Distinguish between UEFI and non UEFI device
4. Create a partition of full free size for non UEFI devices also
* Add support for MTD char driven flash
- replace $spicheck by $mtdcheck
- add probable MTD char device partitions to $mtdcheck

- function check_partitions():
- remove file system filter on lsblk commands
for listing probable target partitions
- fix typo "Destnation" -> "Destination"
- fix indentation on if scopes

* armbian-audio-config: Massively speed up script
This script calls amixer to set various mixer volumes, by simply trying
a bunch of mixer names for each sound card in the system. In practice,
this meant the amixer command was called 158 times for each sound card.
The overhead of all these forks and probably also amixer startup added
together to produce a noticable slowdown in startup.
For example on an Orange Pi PC, the script took about 6 seconds per
soundcard. This was on a system with a few extra USB soundcards (6 alsa
cards in total):
$ time bash ./armbian-audio-config.original
real 0m35.662s
user 0m20.145s
sys 0m15.145s
This commit modifies the script to spawn amixer only once per alsa card,
passing all the mixer set commands through stdin. This pretty much
completely kills the slowdown. On the same 6-card system:
$ time bash ./armbian-audio-config
real 0m0.406s
user 0m0.345s
sys 0m0.229s
* armbian-audio-config: Add quotes to fix lint errors
image file instead of Image as some of the included uboot files do not support the Image format and require the uImage.
