Description

Updated the U-Boot patch from v2024.04 to v2025.07, this change
finally enables booting from eMMC on the Orange Pi 5 Pro.

The device tree source for the board has also been refactored to
support the new U-Boot version and clean up peripheral definitions.

Walkthrough

This change updates the Orange Pi 5 Pro board configuration file by modifying the U-Boot mainline version references. Specifically, within the post_family_config_branch_edge__orangepi5pro_use_mainline_uboot function, the BOOTBRANCH and BOOTPATCHDIR variables are updated from "tag:v2024.04" to "tag:v2025.07". No additional logic or structural changes are introduced, and no public or exported entities are affected.

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Explain this complex logic.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai explain this code block.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and explain its main purpose.
    • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
    • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

1-1: *ShellCheck SC2148 warning is noise for .csc files

The CI failure complains about a missing shebang. Board *.csc files are sourced by Armbian’s build scripts and intentionally omit a shebang (see long-standing project convention).
Consider adding the path pattern config/boards/*.csc to the ShellCheck ignore list in the workflow instead of modifying the file.

Learning: In the Armbian build system, when a PR removes build support for a specific kernel version, version check issues for that removed version become practically irrelevant even if they appear incorrect in isolation. Context about which kernel versions are being deprecated/removed is important for understanding the impact of version-related code changes.

Learning: In config/bootscripts/boot-sunxi.cmd the unconditional "+1" increment in func_align_addr_next (when align_overlap_oboe_avoidance="on") is intentional. It compensates for a known off-by-one error in U-Boot where the end address is calculated as start+size instead of start+size-1, so the extra page prevents overlap. This behavior should not be “optimized away”.

Learning: In Armbian board configuration files (.csc), the standard pattern is to have only one line as a comment describing the board hardware specifications. This single-line description typically includes the SoC model, core count, RAM options, and key features like connectivity options, storage interfaces, and special features.

Timestamp: 2025-07-17T04:12:33.125Z
Learning: In the Armbian build system, board configuration files (*.conf) follow a project standard of not including shebang lines, even though they contain bash code and are sourced by the build system. This is an established Armbian convention that individual contributors are expected to follow, and changes to this standard would require broader project maintainer approval.

Timestamp: 2025-04-30T16:16:47.150Z
Learning: The Armbian build system references Linux kernel versions in the form "tag:v6.14.4" in the KERNELBRANCH variable, even when point release tags might not be directly visible in the upstream repository in the same form.

Learning: In Armbian U-Boot bootscripts, the ${cpu} environment variable is always pre-set by U-Boot (or defaults to a valid value), so additional guards against it being unset are unnecessary.

Learning: In config/bootscripts/boot-sunxi.cmd the variable name align_overlap_oboe_avoidance intentionally uses the acronym “OBOE” (Off-By-One Error); it is not a typo and should not be renamed.

Timestamp: 2025-06-25T03:42:09.086Z
Learning: In Armbian build system configuration files like config/sources/families/*.conf, KERNELSOURCE is explicitly declared when using unofficial or 3rd party kernel repositories (like the "dev" branch using https://github.com/apritzel/linux), but can be omitted when using the standard mainline kernel (like the "edge" branch) since it will fall back to the default mainline source.

Timestamp: 2025-06-04T23:45:38.860Z
Learning: In config/bootscripts/boot-mvebu.cmd, the fdtfile variable is mandatory for booting and is pre-set by U-Boot, but can be overridden via armbianEnv.txt. If fdtfile is empty, the subsequent device tree file search logic will eventually fail and trigger the critical error "Cannot find DT!" with proper error handling.

Learning: The shell scripts in the Armbian build system's desktop configuration files, such as config/desktop/trixie/environments/gnome/armbian/create_desktop_package.sh, rely on environment variables like $SRC and $destination that are expected to be set externally before the script is executed.

Learning: Armbian build framework extensions are NOT designed to run standalone but are called by the supervisor. The framework provides environment variables like USERPATCHES_PATH and SDCARD, and commands are executed with protection via run_host_command_logged and chroot_sdcard functions that use bash -e -o pipefail.

Learning: In Armbian build system configuration files like config/sources/families/*.conf, when KERNELSOURCE is not explicitly declared in a case branch, the system falls back to a default KERNELSOURCE value, so missing KERNELSOURCE declarations are not critical issues.

Learning: For the interactive kernel selection in Armbian, KERNEL_MAJOR_MINOR and KERNEL_DESCRIPTION are parsed from family.conf but deliberately not set as environment variables to avoid potential interference with other parts of the build system.
