[BPI-M7] ArchLinuxArm build script

Banana Pi Rockchip design BPI-M7/BPI-W3/BPI-AIM7(RK3588)

Today I received my BPI-M7 (ArmSoM-Sige7).

So I can now introduce my buildscript for the BPI-M7. Still in Alfa phase, but the boards boots. Should even be able to boot from nvme :slight_smile:

It boots mainline U-Boot and mainline linux (collabora version).

For now, only input/output on UART2 (on 40pin header). Be carefull, 3.3V only!

So only booting until command prompt tested, the rest all still have to test.

1 of the two ethernet ports should be setup to have an ip number (still have to figure out which one). Should be ssh access to it.

So after testing, the build image looks pretty good:

  • u-boot mainline
  • linux based on linux-6.10-rc1, with collabora’s patches, so no more rockchip-linux
  • nvme is recognized
  • gnome running ok
  • mesa seems to work ok (panfrost/panthor)
  • ffmpeg-v4l2-request decoding seems to use the hantro-vpu, after adding vpu to dts
  • outer rj45 gets ip which is entered during setup

Building image with script works fine, no need to fix secondary gpt. However, I also have some prebuild images here:

Use the command sudo rockchip-postinstall to install gnome + mesa + ffmpeg-v4l2request-git (and kodi, still working on it).
