WalkthroughThis pull request adds a new board configuration file for the Radxa E54C (Rockchip RK3582). The file defines board-specific metadata including name, family, maintainer, and boot parameters. It introduces two custom functions: one to enable Realtek distributed switch kernel configurations (NET_DSA related options) for ethernet support, and another to generate an armbian-leds.conf file containing LED trigger configurations for network ports, storage, and system LED indicators.

Learning: In the Armbian build system, rk3576 boards consistently use BOARDFAMILY="rk35xx" for both vendor and edge kernel targets. The rk35xx family configuration sources rockchip64_common.inc, which provides edge and current kernel branch definitions, making these branches available even though they're not defined directly in rk35xx.conf.

Learning: In the Armbian build system, the write_uboot_platform() function implementations follow different patterns across Rockchip family files. The newer standard (used in rockchip64_common.inc and rk3506) includes 'status=none' parameter in dd commands, while older implementations (rk3288, rk322x) use an older pattern without this parameter. The rk3506 implementation correctly follows the current Rockchip family standard.

Timestamp: 2025-09-14T06:29:18.958Z
Learning: In the Armbian build system, vendor branch configurations in family files are designed to be shared across multiple SoCs within the same family that use the same vendor kernel tree. For example, rk35xx and rockchip-rk3588 families both use identical vendor branch settings (same KERNELSOURCE, KERNELBRANCH, and KERNELPATCHDIR), demonstrating that vendor branches are intentionally generic rather than SoC-specific.

Learning: In Armbian's wireless driver configuration, CONFIG_RK_WIFI_DEVICE_* options are Rockchip-specific device registration settings, while CONFIG_WLAN_UWE* are the actual cross-platform driver modules for UWE5622 wireless chips. The UWE5622 chip (manufactured by Unisoc/Spreadtrum) is used on multiple Allwinner boards including Orange Pi Zero 2/2W/3 and Orange Pi 3 LTS, so CONFIG_WLAN_UWE5621/5622 along with Unisoc infrastructure options (CONFIG_SPARD_WLAN_SUPPORT, CONFIG_SC23XX, CONFIG_UNISOC_WIFI_PS, CONFIG_WCN_BSP_DRIVER_BUILDIN) are correct in sunxi64 kernel configs.

Learning: The chainsx/linux-filogic kernel (legacy branch) for BPI-R4 uses out-of-tree proprietary drivers (CONFIG_NET_DSA_AN8855, CONFIG_AIROHA_EN8801SC_PHY, CONFIG_AIR_AN8855_PHY, CONFIG_MDIO_AN8855, CONFIG_MFD_AIROHA_AN8855). The frank-w/BPI-Router-Linux kernel (current and edge branches) uses mainline kernel drivers instead: CONFIG_NET_DSA_MT7530 for the DSA switch and CONFIG_MEDIATEK_2P5GE_PHY for PHY support. These provide equivalent functionality for BPI-R4 networking.

@kamilsaigol Sorry for being late, but this doesn't belong here.
Boards shouldn't modify kernel .config, which is associated with the LINUXFAMILY(/BOARDFAMILY), not BOARD.
Please move this to .config where it belongs -- otherwise kernel packages published to apt repo will be inconsistent (images would work fine though.)

@coderabbitai alert people to not use kernel_config_set in the board config. Boards have common kernel.

@igorpecovnik I'll alert people about this in future reviews.
As rpardini correctly noted, board configuration files should not modify kernel .config because the kernel configuration is associated with LINUXFAMILY/BOARDFAMILY, not individual BOARD. When board configs modify kernel settings, it creates inconsistency in kernel packages published to the apt repository (though images built locally would work fine).
The proper approach is to move kernel configuration changes to the appropriate kernel config file (e.g., config/kernel/linux-rockchip-rk3588-vendor.config) where it can be shared across all boards in that family.
I've recorded this to flag in future reviews.

Learning: In Armbian board configuration files (config/boards/*.conf, *.csc, etc.), do not use kernel_config_set, kernel_config_set_m, kernel_config_set_y, or custom_kernel_config__* functions to modify kernel configuration. Kernel configuration is associated with LINUXFAMILY/BOARDFAMILY, not individual BOARD. Board-specific kernel modifications cause inconsistency in kernel packages published to the apt repository because boards within a family share the same kernel packages. Kernel configuration changes must be made in the appropriate kernel config file (e.g., config/kernel/linux-*-*.config) or in family configuration files (config/sources/families/*.conf, *.inc) instead.

Learning: In the Armbian build system, the variables $BOARD and $SDCARD are always set by the build framework, so guard checks for these variables are unnecessary in board configuration files and hook functions.

Timestamp: 2025-08-11T12:39:22.861Z
Learning: The SpacemiT platform requires esos.elf firmware to be embedded in the kernel image for boot. The Armbian build system handles this by copying esos.elf from $SRC/packages/blobs/riscv64/spacemit/ to ${kernel_work_dir}/firmware/ via the custom_kernel_config__spacemit_k1_firmware() function in config/sources/families/spacemit.conf, ensuring CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="esos.elf" can successfully embed it during kernel build.

Learning: In the Armbian build system, kernel configuration files in config/kernel/ are generated through an automated process: taking previous config → applying scripted changes from armbian-kernel.sh → running kernel's `make oldconfig` → processing by Armbian machinery back into config files. This automated process properly handles kernel configuration dependencies and reduces the likelihood of manual configuration errors.

Learning: Armbian kernel configuration files like linux-filogic-current.config are autogenerated overlays on top of arch defconfig. Comments added manually will be lost during future updates by maintainers, and explicit "CONFIG_OPTION is not set" statements aren't needed for mutually exclusive options since these are overlay configs that only specify changes from the base configuration.

Learning: When kernel config files are generated through Armbian's automated process (previous config → armbian-kernel.sh changes → make oldconfig → Armbian machinery processing), manual config file edits are not appropriate since they would be overwritten. Deprecated option handling should be implemented in the automated tooling instead.

Learning: In the Armbian build system, the KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes switch is deprecated. The recommended approach for kernel configuration is now to use the `kernel-config` build command, which provides a more structured way to configure kernel options.

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: 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.

Learning: In lib/functions/compilation/armbian-kernel.sh, the kernel_config_modifying_hashes array is not universally required for all kernel configuration functions - some functions like armbian_kernel_config__netkit() operate without it, and adding entries with '=m' would be incorrect when the actual result might be '=y' for options already built-in.

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.

Learning: In the Armbian build system, kernel configurations prioritize broad hardware compatibility over optimization concerns. Even when including numerous legacy/obsolete drivers causes technical issues like increased initramfs size and slower enumeration, the project philosophy is to "appease the masses" by ensuring maximum device compatibility rather than optimizing for specific use cases.

Learning: In the Armbian build system, the write_uboot_platform() function implementations follow different patterns across Rockchip family files. The newer standard (used in rockchip64_common.inc and rk3506) includes 'status=none' parameter in dd commands, while older implementations (rk3288, rk322x) use an older pattern without this parameter. The rk3506 implementation correctly follows the current Rockchip family standard.
