* Add Realtek RTL8812AU out-of-tree driver
This adds support for Realtek RTL8812AU devices such as the Hardkernel
WiFi Module 5A (with the RTL8811AU chipset, supported by this driver as
well). This patch uses Realtek driver 5.9.3.2 which has been made to
compile up to Linux 5.10.
Note: This driver does not seem to support 5GHz networks! But it seems
the only driver which supports the RTL8811AU chipset and also works with
recent mainline drivers...
* Enable RTL8812AU driver for Hardkernel modules
The WiFi Module 5A comes with a RTL8811AU chipset. Enable the driver for
all Hardkernel modules.
When we write the update to the boot partiton, there is nothing which
makes sure that data is written to disk. This leaves a rather large
window (probably around 30s) where a machine reset/poweroff can lead
to a corrupted boot partition. Use the sync mount option to minimize the
corruption window.
Note that sync is not ideal for flash drives normally. But since we
write very little and typically only on OS update to the boot partition,
this shouldn't be a problem.
After increasing the actual disk image size the capacity field in the
OVF description file still was mentioning 6GB. This seems to be
problematic for VMware hypervisor. Increase the size to 32GB as well.
* Revert "Fix boot from 128GB Micron eMMC on ODROID-N2(+) (#1064)"
This reverts commit 162084082e92384d40c1789457eb574f8790ea87.
This patches seem to cause issue on a ODROID-N2 with 32GB eMMC.
* Cap eMMC frequency to 24MHz in U-Boot for ODROID-N2(+)
Also remove the ODROID-C4 specific patch.
* Avoid waiting for external drive unnecessarily
Even though the condition to start hassos-data.service is not met (the
file /mnt/overlay/data-move is not there by default), it seems that
systemd waits for the dependencies for hassos-data.service. Don't
Require or Wants any dependencies which might not be present by
default.
* Use systemd to wait for partition using partlabel device
* Use sfdisk which allows to wipe filesystem signatures
Even though we zap the partition table using sgdisk, the file system
superblock (which contains the file system label) does survive. This
can cause problems when trying to reuse a disk previously already
labeled using hassos-data: It might take precendence on next boot
over the existing data partition on the eMMC.
Make sure to clean all file system signatures using sfdisk.
VMware as well as Qemu emulate LSI53C1030 SCSI controller when choosing
a SCSI controller has host interface for disks. For VMware this seems
to be the default choice. Enable the driver by default.
* Make the datactl command more robust
Validate target disk (partition) size to avoid a copy attempt which will
fail. If e2image operation fails, make sure the leftover copy is not
regonized as data partition.
* Fix hassos-data service device unit dependencies
In case the data partition is missing avoid using the Docker command.
The Docker command triggers a socket activation, which in turn makes
systemd wait for the data partition. This blocks entry into the shell
forever.
Just enter the shell in case data partition is not mounted.
* Rewrite datactl command
Prepare the target partition as part of the datactl command. Rely on
partlabel for the target disk since we are always using GPT on the
target disk. Use systemd and partlabel mechanism to wait and find
the target data disk. Keep using the file system label to identify
the source disk.
Also use e2image instead of raw dd to move data. This should
speed up the processes significantly.
* Fix corner case when reusing same disk again
* Add find utility helpful to find things
* Add hwclock utility useful to debug RTC issues
* Remove several utilities which are provided by util-linux (such as
dmesg, mount, blkid etc.)
* Drop unused utilities e.g. for raw nand (nandread/write/ubi)
Fix ethernet PHY reset timing to make sure the link comes up when
reconfiguring the link.
Also drop 0006-clk-meson-g12a-mark-fclk_div2-as-critical.patch which has
been applied in v5.9.2 stable release.
The version banner was showing "Amlogic Meson G12A (Unknown) Revision
28:0 (0:0)" in all cases instead of the correct SoC name and revision.
Make sure the SoC revision is properly read also for the banner.
* Add sound card by default using the hdaudio driver (#925)
* Use virtio-net for VirtualBox
The virtio-net driver is a paravirtualization driver which means less
overhead than virtualizing a full network card. The driver is supported
by VirtualBox since several releases by now.
* Use full OS name in product name.
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.
* Bump dev channel after build
Bump version on dev channel automatically when building a dev branch
pre-release.

HAOS builds add a lot of files and things get quickly messy. Use a
directory per build.
Also don't abort the complete build if a single board failed, we still
might be interested in the rest.
* 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.
* Add development build version part to version number
Add third part in the version number to indicate development builds.
Generate a default version number based on the date, e.g.
"5.6.dev20201124".
* Add GitHub Action workflow for development builds
Add another GitHub workflow for development builds. Make it triggered
only for now. The version number is generated by the workflow and
passed to all builds to make sure all builds have the same development
build version.
* Add documentation
* 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...
```

* Fix N2+ boot by disabling USB enumeration
On some devices USB enumeration in U-Boot seems to freeze:
starting USB...
Bus usb@ff500000: Register 3000140 NbrPorts 3
Starting the controller
USB XHCI 1.10
scanning bus usb@ff500000 for devices... <freeze>
We don't use USB currenty in the U-Boot script, disable it for now.
* Disable USB enumeration on all ODROID devices
