# WIP Nixos images for ARM-base SBCs

Work-in-progress SD card images for ARM-based boards.

This project was started from scratch as a hobby.

I adapted patches for linux kernel integrated into armbian.

## Xunlong boards

I integrated patches from Xunlong linux kernel and Debian/Ubuntu images.

- [U-Boot](https://github.com/katyo/u-boot/tree/opiz2)

- [Linux](https://github.com/katyo/linux/tree/kayo-h616-5.17.y)

- [Bluez](https://github.com/katyo/bluez/tree/orangepi)

### OrangePi Zero2

1. Partially reworked sd-image generation module

  - Firmware (vfat) partition which is used on UEFI enabled boards like Raspberry Pi now is optional

  - Added support for different image compression methods (zstd, xz, lzma)

  - Added support for custom compression levels (0-9)

2. ARM Trusted Firmware modifications:

  - Enabled debug

3. U-Boot modifications:

  - Added workaround to enable THS temperature sensors

  - Added workaround to enable GPU to get panfrost working

3. Linux kernel modifications:

  - Added board device-tree for OrangePi Zero2

  - Added themperature sensor dtiver

  - Added onboard ethernet phy support

  - Added Unisoc UWE5622 wifi/bluetooth drivers:

    - [x] Wifi

    - [ ] Bluetooth

  - Added Cedrus hardware accelerated video codec support (not tested)

  - Added HDMI support fixes

    - [x] 3D rendering via panfrost tested using kmscube

  - Added Sound codec support (not tested)

  - Added fixes for RTC driver

  - Added custom configuration

## Installation

1. Download unpack and write SD image to compatible SD-card

2. Insert SD-card and supply power onto the board

3. When system is started connect via ssh or serial port. (user: root, password: nixospi)

4. Run `nixos-generate-config` to get initial configuration in `/etc/nixos`

5. Edit `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix` manually (add users, enable services, system packages and etc.)

6. Run `nix-channel --update` and `nixos-rebuild switch` to finish installation

7. Reboot
