@Kreyren if you're targeting armbian-next, you gotta be familiar with rebases. Also, send consolidated rational changes in chunks that make sense. |

@rpardini Change this back to draft i will manage the issue of (seemingly insane) rebasing though blocking changes from maintainers and then sync it prior to submission |

My effort to implement an official armbian support for OLIMEX Teres A64, the end goal is to provide a minimal armbian image using current stable release

Testing of the image
To capture any bugs i need testers if you want to help then:
1. Install the provided image on a class 10 A1 or higher SDCard and use it to boot the system using command
# dd if=/path/to/file/img of=/dev/SDCARD_HERE conv=sync status=progress && sync* Armbian_23.02.0-trunk_Teres-a64_bullseye_current_5.15.89_minimal.img
* Armbian_23.02.0-trunk_Teres-a64_bullseye_current_5.15.89_minimal.img.sha
* Armbian_23.02.0-trunk_Teres-a64_bullseye_current_5.15.89_minimal.img.txt
DO NOT update/upgrade the system! (apt update or apt upgrade or apt dist-upgrade)
* We need reproducible results and updates will only introduce variables to the testing
Pick a desktop environment for testing:
Report any bugs
Help solving issues
No Audio
The current image has no audio which is currently being investigated, if you have any relevant info then let me knowThe issue has been identified as a configuration issue with pipewire+alsa+pulseaudio where pulseaudio's audio configuration needs to be set on
Pro Audiofor the sound to work.JACK is still not working and needs to be investigated..
pulseaudiopackage to the build for this boardGNOME
Laggy af
The animations needs to be disabled for it to be usable or the gnome build optimized
SOLVED: Got much better in newer GNOME release to the point of usability, but animations should still be disabled and more research done in terms of optimizations
Suspension doesn't work
Closing the lid and opening it after ~8 hours results from full battery to nearly none instead of preserving the charge through suspending the system activities.
How to contribute
a. Clone the repository
$ git clone --branch=armbian-next https://github.com/armbian/build armbian-build-nextb. Build the image
$ ./combile.sh docker-shelloptionally this is the current most functional build:
./compile.sh BOARD=teres-a64 BRANCH=current RELEASE=bookworm BUILD_MINIMAL=yes BUILD_DESKTOP=no KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no COMPRESS_OUTPUTIMAGE=sha,imgc. Put the image on your OLIMEX Teres A64 system
