Hi @frank-w
While your Uboot and Linux repos are supporting to build bpi-r4lite,
the Images repo currently not support for that, right?
Right,have not added it yet as buildchains and also integration for binaries in image repo is not ready…have currently other tasks (6.18 breaks mt7987 clock driver,r4pro support also ongoing)
But basicly you can download and set the r4lite img.gz with skipubootdownload=1 and use at least kernel 6.17-main.
I can build uboot for bpi-r4lite, but it is not supported to run “buildimg.sh bpi-r4lite noble” to create R4Lite Ubuntu Noble.
yes, but you can download already built https://github.com/frank-w/u-boot/releases/download/CI-BUILD-2025-10-bpi-2025.10-2025-10-13_1032/bpi-r4lite_sdmmc.img.gz and then use
skipubootdownload=1
imgfile=bpi-r4lite_sdmmc.img.gz
in the sourcefiles_bpi-r4.conf to build the image. you will need kernel with r4lite support too
noticed, that filename is r4lite and not r4…r4 kernel is for r4, r4lite and r4pro so the name of archive is currently wrong…need to investigate
Do you mean to run “buildimg.sh bpi-r4 noble” with the r4lite Uboot plus r4lite kernel (at most 6.17) to create Ubuntu Noble image, and flash it to r4lite board?
yes, but prepare your sourcefiles_bpi-r4.conf before to use manual downloaded r4lite sdcard img gz and kernel file like described in readme
