New CM4 compatible board from Waveshare! #6458
Comments
Ah, I misunderstood, not a baseboard for the CM4 but a module for CM4 baseboards 😄. Hmm, they offer dedicated images with HDMI output or DSI output enabled. The SoC has full mainline kernel support, but there is not device tree yet: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip Could you find any kernel and bootloader sources for this module? |
I did not yet find the time to get into it. It seems like an interesting alternative for the Raspberry CM4 module especially regarding the price tag! |
I also have Core3566. FYI. The SDK can be downloaded here. This includes device tree, u-boot. |
Where can I find the source code for the kernel and U-Boot builds of these images? Probably I am blind 😄. |
In fact, it's a pain in the neck to get them out... 😅 The work required an Ubuntu environment(I used Ubuntu Server 22.04).
When the repo command succeeds, the following file is created.

But those are only the device tree sources. What about the kernel itself? EDIT: Ah, you just filtered the list, so it is likely all kernel sources. Is there no online repository with the source code for the entire kernel laid out transparently? This VM image extraction hassle is kinda distributor-hostile. Given the likely small amount of users, I'm not gonna invest my limited time into this. There are more open image requests where implementation is easier and with more potential users 🤔. |
Unfortunately, there does not appear to be an online repository. And I very much understand that your time is limited. Core3566 has very poor support and probably very few buyers, so I don't think it is worth supporting. On the other hand, I would be very grateful if you could provide support for us who have purchased such a helpless board. Otherwise, I will either be patient and use the official OS, or throw the board in the trash then buy a Raspberry Pi... |
Or ask the vendor for a public/transparent kernel source repository as a customer 😉. |
Hello,
Waveshare sent me this promotion today with a quite unexpensive new CM4 compatible board.

Any idea if you will support it with Dietpi in future?
