A-wai :debian:

Doing some evening hacking, bringing up the @PINE64 with upstream Linux (6.8-rc3) with only a new DTS and no additional patch!

So far it boots with working console output and eMMC/µSD, but that's about it...

@PINE64 For those interested, my kernel tree for this device is gitlab.com/a-wai/linux/-/tree/ :tux:

@awai @PINE64 Uuuuuu, I'd love to see this on LicheePi 4a 😇

@awai @PINE64 Isn't that the same SoC as STAR64?

I'm kinda considering buying one to upstream and run OpenWrt on it with i340-T4, as RockPro64 PCI-E was an absolute disaster and I got rid of it after a week, about 2 years ago.

@elly @PINE64 Yes, that's the same SoC (StarFive JH7110), which is starting to get decent upstream support: I was able to get the HDMI video out to work today using patches from the linux-riscv ML 😀
Only a few more missing bits and we'll have the internal display working (the touch panel already works as well)
