sunxi: disable LPAE to allow kernel to run on A13

2018-02-27T18:38:12+00:00

Fixes issue FS#1355.
LPAE extensions are enabled, but the A13 does not support them.
The result is the boot process stopping at "Starting kernel ..."

kernel: remove out of tree direct-io disable hack

2017-12-13T11:57:41+00:00

Direct-IO support has to be enabled for the release build anyway, so
this hack is not worth keeping

sunxi: clean up modules definitions

2017-10-01T08:04:12+00:00

Module definitions for kmod-wdt-sunxi and kmod-eeprom-sunxi are removed
(wdt-sunxi was builtin anyways; nvmem-sunxi, which is the new name of
eeprom-sunxi is changed to builtin). As kmod-eeprom-sunxi was specified
in DEFAULT_PACKAGES, but not available on kernel 4.4, it was breaking the
image builder.

Support for kmod-sunxi-ir is added for kernel 4.4 (it is unclear why it
was disable before, it builds fine with with kernel 4.4).

Condtionals only relevant for pre-4.4 kernels are removed from modules.mk,
as sunxi does't support older kernels anymore.

Fixes FS#755.

kernel: update kernel 4.4 to 4.4.69

2017-05-24T20:47:01+00:00

Bump the 17.01 tree kernel to 4.4.69. Trunk 4.4 and 17.01 4.4 have diverged, talked this
through with jow, he was okay with a clean diff against 17.01 and not a backported trunk
patch.

The following patches were applied upstream:

* 062-[1-6]-MIPS-* series
* 042-0004-mtd-bcm47xxpart-fix-parsing-first-block

Reintroduced lantiq/patches-4.4/0050-MIPS-Lantiq-Fix-cascaded-IRQ-setup, as
it was incorrectly included upstream thus dropped from LEDE, but subsequently
reverted upstream. Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for pointing me to it.

  Compile-tested on: ar71xx, ramips/mt7621, x86/64.

  Run-tested on: ar71xx, ramips/mt7621, x86/64.

sunxi: use fwtool for checking sdcard images

2017-01-05T10:09:15+00:00

To achieve this, device tree compatible string was used as boardname and
the value of it will be checked against supported_devices list.

It should be noted that we do not distinguish between
sun5i-a13-olimex-som and sun5i-a13-olinuxino as they share the same dts
file.

The other thing is that we need to gunzip the generated firmware to do
fwtool check.

sunxi: add sysupgrade support

2017-01-05T10:09:15+00:00

Enalbe builtin support for FAT filesystem as we need to mount boot
partition to store sysupgrade.tgz there

sunxi: make sdcard image with squashfs as rootfs

2017-01-05T10:09:14+00:00

Two things that need to be noted

 - There is no partition type id allocated for squashfs yet.  In the
   case of sunxi, any non-zero value should work and we keep it 83 (the
   value for ext4)
 - Remaining spare space within the rootfs partition, not the entire
   sdcard space will be formated as either f2fs or ext4 and mounted as
   overlay to serve the role of rootfs_data.

sunxi: convert to new image generation method

2017-01-05T10:09:14+00:00

The new Device/xxx were transformed automatically from old profiles.

Most device names are now taken from basename of the corresponding
kernel device tree file.  Device/sun5i-a13-olimex-som is an exception
because it is not explicitly supported in the kernel yet and shares the
same dts file with Device/sun5i-a13-olinuxino
