* Enable additional LED triggers
* Improve Yellow device tree
Fix soundcard name and use BTN_1 as key code.
* Add input-event-daemon configuration
Add minimal input-event-daemon configuration to avoid the default
configuration taking effect. This minimal configuration triggers
the USB configuration import on button press.
Add VID/PID of some known problematic USB SSD controllers to USB storage
quirk list. This should make most USB SSD's work with Home Assistant OS
out-of-the box.
* Fix enable USB host mode kernel patch
Update to a new patch which applies the device tree change such that the
USB controller actually gets enabled.
* Update Home Assistant Yellow board config
Update config to match changes which have been made to other baords as
well.
* Rename Home Assistant Amber to Yellow
Rename the board from "amber" to "yellow" as Home Assistant Yellow is
the official name now.
* Add Home Assistant Yellow to the build matrix
* Update Linux kernel patches for Home Assistant Amber
Fix user LED polarity. Also rebase the patchset ontop of the Raspberry Pi
kernel 1.20211029.
* Add RTC as well
These boards support the rather ancient ARMv6 architecture only. We
officially stopped supporting them already two releases ago, its time to
say goodbye.
* Add Amber machine
Introduce a new machine for Amber. Store it under Raspberry Pi boards
since Amber is based on the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4. This way we
can reuse existing scripts.
* Add kernel patches for Amber
Add kernel patches which add a custom device tree for Amber.
* Add device wipe support via GPIO button
Allow to wipe the device by pressing and holding the red button.
* Enable serial console by default
Enable serial console on the on-board USB-to-UART adapter as well as on
the GPIO header.
* Use 64-bit mode by default
Support only 64-bit for Amber, it is mature enough.
The BCM2711 has two USB 2.0 IPs: A Broadcom XHCI USB 2.0 controller and
a Synopsys DWC2 USB 2.0 Host/Device controller. When USB boot is used
the former is active. Make sure the driver has the correct device tree
compatible.
* Add NVMe and XHCI USB driver fix for Raspberry Pi
Add patch which fixes NVMe read reliability and allows to compile the
XHCI USB driver (for Compute Module 4).
* Enable Broadcom XHCI driver for Compute Module 4
The BCM2711 has two USB 2.0 IPs: A Broadcom XHCI USB 2.0 controller and
a Synopsys DWC2 USB 2.0 Host/Device controller. When USB boot is used
the former is active. Make sure U-Boot has the driver built-in for that
IP.
* Remove duplicate config.txt copy statement
* Use static cmdline.txt file
Instead of dynamically creating cmdline.txt use a static version of it.
This aligns with other boot loader/firmware configuration files and makes
it easier to customize the file per board.
Support optional board specific default RPi firmware configuration file
(config.txt). Also rename from boot-env.txt to config.txt since this
file is not read by the U-Boot boot loader but the Raspberry Pi specific
boot firmware.
* Add U-Boot patches for NVMe boot support
Add NVMe to boot order. Fix NVMe support on 64-bit Raspberry Pi devices.
This is useful for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 IO Board where a native
NVMe can be plugged in.
* Enable NVMe support for Raspberry Pi 4
Our machine configuration rpi4 and rpi4_64 work on the Compute Module IO
Board. In this configuration a NVMe SSD can be used. Therefor, enable
support for NVMe in the Raspberry Pi 4 configurations.
Note: Regular Raspberry Pi devices will not notice a difference as the
"nvme scan" command will return very quickly and not find a NVMe on the
PCIe bus.
* Use built-in NVMe support in Kernel for NVMe boot support
The bump to U-Boot 2021.10-rc5 also makes quite some patches obsolete
since they are already part of U-Boot.
This also removes a patch which disables framebuffer support on
Raspberry Pi: Framebuffer support seems to work fine in todays
U-Boot/Linux combination. It can help debug boot problems on Raspberry
Pi devices. Without the patch framebuffer support will be enabled by
default.
Some USB devices cause the USB stack to get stuck with a stall error.
This adds a patch which recovers from this situation.
This avoids an U-Boot crash when Arduino Mega R3 devices are connected,
which cause an USB stall when trying to read the product string.
When a USB keyboard is connected to Raspberry Pi 32-bit versions of
U-Boot crashed in certain situations just before booting Linux. This
seems to be cause by a buffer overflow when removing the USB keyboard
before hand-over to Linux.
The minimal memory reserved parameter vm.min_free_kbytes should be
between 1-3% according to RedHat.
However, the kernel by default reserves around 3MB (e.g. only 3285 on a
32-bit Raspberry Pi 4 2GB installation). This seems to be too low for
network intensive applications such as ours: Under memory pressure
"page allocation failure" on various orders have been observed.
Raspberry Pi OS uses a fixed value of 16MB. Follow this setting for now.
Note: We cannot set this globally for Home Assistant: x86-64 machines
can have quite a bit more memory, which also requires increased
min_free_kbytes parameter. ODROID-N2 on the other hand uses transparent
huge pages: If enabled, the kernel requires higher min_free_kbytes
values, and sets those also by default (e.g. on ODROID-N2+ with 4GB
memory its set to 22528 by default).
* Add squashfs with LZ4 and LZO compression to Barebox
* Add squashfs with LZO compression to U-Boot
* Use squashfs for Linux kernel partition
Generate a squashfs image with LZO compression for the Linux kernel
partition. Adjust the boot scripts to be file system independent commands
to boot from squashfs.
Since 0001-CMD-read-string-from-fileinto-env.patch is in the global
directory to be applied for U-Boot, drop it from the Raspberry Pi
specific patch directory.
* add eq3_char_loop package (eQ-3 char loopback kernel module)
* add generic_raw_uart package (low-latency raw UART kernel driver)
* add rpi-rf-mod package
* add device tree overlay support for RPI-RF-MOD/HM-MOD-RPI-PCB on Raspberry Pi
* enable GPIOLIB and GPIO_SYSFS required for RPI-RF-MOD/HM-MOD-RPI-PCB support.
* add basic RPI-RF-MOD/HM-MOD-RPI-PCB support for ASUS Tinker Board
* add device tree overlay support for ASUS Tinker Board and add
haos-config.txt loading support to U-Boot boot script
* Re-add patches missed with U-Boot 2021.04-rc4 upgrade
Also add patches for Raspberry Pi again.
* Regenerate patches for U-Boot 2021.04
* Update to U-Boot 2021.04
Bump to the latest U-Boot release 2021.04-rc4. This alows to drop quite
some patches which have been sent to the mailing list or picked from the
mailing list and have been merged upstream now.
Move to the new Linux 5.10 based kernel for all Raspberry Pi boards.
This uses the version of the last OS version used in Raspberry Pi OS
raspberrypi-kernel_1.20210201-1.
systemd-udevd substitutes variables starting with $ in the PROGRAM
argument. If a shell variable is to be used, two $ need to be used to
escape properly. This fixes three instances of the following warning:
Invalid value "..." for PROGRAM (char 58: invalid substitution type), ignoring, but please fix it.
It seems that page table mappings for compressed tables cause issues in
certain situation leading to "zram: Decompression failed!" errors.
Upstream Linux seems to have recognized the problem and a patch to drop
the functionality entirly has been proposed:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20201117135632.GA27763@infradead.org/
The change "Avoid trying to boot non-existing kernel image in failover
case" introduced a broken boot script on Raspberry Pi (when booting from
partition B) and ODROID-XU4.
* Add 2020-10-28 beta EEPROM
This improves boot from USB and speeds up boot times.
also includes sd card v1 boot reliability.
see https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom/pull/246
Also add HDMI_DELAY=0 so HDMI display is always visible
for easier debugging.
* Avoid trying to boot non-existing kernel image in fail-over case
The A/B update system automatically switches to the other boot slot when
booting fails. However, in a fresh installation, only boot slot A
exists. If booting fails three times (e.g. if somebody plugs out power
before the slot can be marked as good), then the system switches to boot
slot B which does not contain a kernel image yet. Avoid trying to boot
the non-existing kernel image.
With this change, if slot B is empty U-Boot will restore both slots to 3
attempts and retry booting from slot A on next reboot:
```
Trying to boot slot B, 2 attempts remaining. Loading kernel ...
** Unrecognized filesystem type **
No valid slot found, resetting tries to 3
storing env...
```

* Bump Raspberry Pi kernel to 5.4
Bump kernel to the downstream Raspberry Pi 5.4 kernel. Drop patches
already merged upstream and use rebased patches for USB reset
controller (required for U-Boot 2020.10 for USB SSD boot).
* Add compatible node for upstream U-Boot
Add brcm,bcm2835-pl011 to make upstream U-Boot bind with the
bcm283x_pl011 driver. This allows to boot with the device tree provided
by the Raspberry Pi Linux kernel 5.4 even without enable_uart=1.
