[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/5] orangepi-zero: misc updates

[Sergey Matyukevich]

Hi all,

This patchset contains updates mostly aimed at better support of
orange-pi-zero board, including enabling WiFi and bumping kernel
version. Besides, I added myself to DEVELOPERS to track activity
around several allwinner boards.

Regards,
Sergey

Thanks. I had a quick look at doing so myself some time ago, but never
got around to finishing it.

These firmware blobs are quite icky. If I understand correctly, the
firmware comes from some kind of (android?) disk image. Given that, I'm
not sure we are really allowed to redistribute them so we should set
XR819_FIRMWARE_REDISTRIBUTE = NO

The fact that the filenames are not versioned is also a pain, as we
cannot really handle any future version bumps without breaking older
releases.

I agree that cloning the huge armbian build repo for these small files
isn't really nice, but I had a look at the armbian github and I see they
have recently moved the firmware blobs to a separate repo:

https://github.com/armbian/firmware

Which is only around ~9MB, so I suggest we download that with git
similar to linux-firmware, then at least we have a git revision.

Care to rework the package to be such an "armbian-firmware" package
instead? For now it is fine to just have a single sub option to install
the xr819 files.

Thanks for review ! I didn't notice they moved all the blobs into a
separate git repository. I assume you mean the same approach as in
the package linux-firmware.mk: adding separate Kconfig options
for each group of firmware files.

I will rework xr819 firmware packaging approach and then resubmit
the whole patchset. For the time being I plan to add xr819 and ap6212
sub-options to handle orange-pi-zero and upcoming orange-pi-zero-plus2 boards.

Regards,
Sergey

Basically, yes.

Yes, just start with just the options you require. If anyone is later
interested to add more, they can send further patches to add those.
