Virtual Disk images are often used on Windows and/or Mac platforms where
xz is not a widely known file ending and also not supported by dafault.
Use zip which is much better known.
Keep using xz for boards since those are not meant to be extracted by
users but directly used in Etcher. Also keep using xz for qcow2, since
qcow2 is mostly used on Linux platforms where xz is available by default
and zip usually needs an extra package.
Use sparse files instead of files written full of zeros. This speeds up
the image generation process significantly. It also makes sure that
virtual disk image formats are minimal in size.
Note: qemu-img automatically generates sparse files when detecting a
block full of zeros. But this is applied on the write side, after image
convertion: The disk image format itself still thinks the whole image
is allocated, leading to larger image than necessary. Also some output
format seem to regonize chunks of zero and create sparse files themself.
With this change, the raw source image file is a sparse file. This is
regocnized by qemu-img at read time (see block/file-posix.c), and leads
to "native" sparse files in the output format.
Some numbers
- qcow2 1.8G -> 862M (same on-disk size)
- vdi 15G -> 888M (same on-disk size)
- vhdx 30G -> 1.1G (918M -> 861M on-disk size)
- vmdk 1.8G -> 866M (about the same on-disk size)
Obviously this also affects the compressed size. But because there are
still lots of zeros, the difference in compressed size is not that big.
* Use interface-name to exclude veth
The type veth is not a valid type (see [1] for how to obtain a list of
valid device types. Use `driver` to filter veth.
Note: It seems that NetworkManager did not manage veth so far, so this
change seems not to be relevant in practice.

* 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
The latest version of OS Agent sets haos.wipe=1 as kernel argument to
trigger a device wipe. Let systemd pickup this kernel command line
argument and start haos-wipe.service.
This rather complex architecture allows to add other triggers in the
future, e.g. a button read in the boot loader.
* Disable systemd-logind support for udisks2
Currently udisks2 uses systemd-logind to prevent the system from
rebooting or similar operations while udisks operations are ongoing.
Unfortunately this stops us from using udisks2 during early boot since
systemd-logind is not ready at this point. Make the dependency
configureable so we can opt-out of using systemd-logind.
* Make dbus.service/socket and udisks2.service/socket available early
Disable default dependencies. This avoids those services to be ordered
after sysinit.target, and makes them available before local-fs.target
is reached. All mounts like mnt-data.mount are ordered before
local-fs.target, so breaking this dependency allows to use D-Bus before
mounting local file systems.
This seems fine when using the system bus directly from /run (instead of
/var/run, which is anyway a symlink to /run normally). It seems that
udisks misses /var/lib/udisks2 but it seems not to be required for the
features used so far.
So far the exit code has been evaluated, which seems to be non-zero even
with a regular term signal. With that systemd assumed the service is in
a failed state, when in fact this seems the regular behavior of dropbear
when shutting it down.
* Add udisks2 package
Add latest release of udisks2 as a package. Also disable polkit to avoid
excessive dependencies.
* Add udisks2 and os-agent to Home Assistant OS
* Bump OS Agent to latest version with udisks support
* Add RTL87xx/RTL88xx Bluetooth firmware
Enable Realtek Bluetooth dongles by adding firmware for RTL87xx and
RTL8xx devices.
* Enable Wireless firmwares for OVA and Generic x86-64 machines
Virtual machines might use hardware pass through functionality to get
direct access to wireless hardware. Add all firmwares we use in Generic
x86-64 image also to the OVA image. Also enable Ralink devices for the
two machines.
* Add RTL87xx/RTL88xx Bluetooth firmwares (#1273)
Add RTL87xx/RTL88xx Bluetooth to all devices without on-board Bluetooth.
* Rename NetworkManager default profile
Rename the NetworkManager default profile to "Home Assistant OS
default". Improve documentation on how to reset to default
configuration.
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.
* Accept installation with intel-nuc in compatible string
For the OS release 6 intel-nuc gets renamed to generic-x86-64. Since
the machine name is in the OS compatible string we need to make sure
OS release 5 installation can update to release 6 despite the new
machine name.
* Change HASSOS_ID from hassos to haos
Use a rauc install-check hook to make this update compatible with OS
releases using hassos in the compatible string.
* Use home-assistant as organization in CPE_NAME
Align with Home Assistant core which uses home-assistant with a dash as
organization in CPE_NAME.
* Rename Intel NUC machine to Generic x86-64
The Intel NUC machine has evolved and supports various x86-64 machines
today. Rename the board.
Note that this does not address the migration issue. This will be
handled separately.
* Update Scripts/Documentation
* Rebase patches to Buildroot 2021.02-rc3
* Update Buildroot to 2021.02-rc3
* Declare Kernel headers to be Linux version 5.10 (since they are, and new Buildroot knows about 5.10)
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.
* Add Ralink rt27xx/rt28xx/rt30xx firmware (#1242)
Add Ralink firmware for devices which have the driver enabled. The
firmware's are rather small at 20KiB in total.
* Remove Ralink and other WiFi drivers from Tinker Board
The board has on-board WiFi, no need for Ralink drivers to be enabled.
* Add Ralink WiFi drivers and firmware to ODROID boards
This matches the 1.2-4+rpt8 release of Raspberry Pi OS' bluez-firmware
package. It addresses mainly addresses Spectra fix for CYW43455
(CVE-2020-10370).
Also update the Bluetooth start scripts with CM4 support and some
minor improvements.
* Add --cpu-rt-runtime to allow Docker allocate real-time CPU time (#1235)
* Enable Supervisor's CPU bandwith allocation feature (#1235)
Since we have CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED enabled in the Home Assistant OS
kernel the Supervisor needs to enable CPU bandwith allocation for
Add-Ons which need real-time scheduling. Set the appropriate environment
variable.
It seems that the release drafter filters commits which have been made
before the last release has been made. If the last release is a
unrelated stable release, this clears the full changelog for the next
major release. It seems `filter-by-commitish` should prevent that.
While at it, also set `commitish` to be dev (which is the default, but
being explicit certainly doesn't hurt).
* Improve ASUS Tinker Board support for 5.10
Remove patches which are unnecessary. Revert DMA for UART as it seems to
cause more problems (its also what Armbian is doing). With that
Bluetooth firmware seems to load without errors when loaded before the
bluetooth daemon is running!
Note: It seems that the board overheats quite quickly. With Armbian,
without load, that seems not to be a big deal, but HAOS does quite a
bunch at startup, leading the CPU to reach the 90°C trip point. Maybe it
was related to the rather closed shelf I have the ASUS Tinker board
running, but only after using a fan the board behaved for me.
* Use hardware flow control explicitly
The rtk_hciattach program uses hardware flow control by default (judging
from tty settings after starting the program). Just to be sure,
explicitly request 115200 and hardware flow control.
