NanoPi R2S support #271

The Nanopi R2S currently only works with an older U-Boot v2021.10. This commit only relocates the CN9130 patches to a sub-directory. Signed-off-by: Joachim Wiberg <troglobit@gmail.com>
All Infix builds should be signed, but for some test equipment, and during board bringup, this may be too much of a hassle. Signed-off-by: Joachim Wiberg <troglobit@gmail.com>
Support for this is based on the upstream Buildroot R2S defconfig and
the myLinux extensions and stripped-down kernel defconfig. For more
information about the Nanopi R2S, see the FriendlyELC wiki at:

Please note, due to the lack of a VPD on the board, and some very poor
devicetree skills by yours truly, Infix currently refuse to boot on this
board. An in-devicetree factory-password-hash node has to be added, and
will be done soon.

Loss of BusyBox "show others", uboot-tools, and e2fsprogs, are likely due to resolved dependencies from other packages. E.g., Frr requires bash. Signed-off-by: Joachim Wiberg <troglobit@gmail.com>
Since the Nanopi R2S does not have a VPD, we use this mechanism to set the default admin password. Without one, Infix will refuse to generate the factory- and failure-config files, and thus refuse to start. On custom boards in production we have VPD in ONIE format that contains a per-device unique SHA256 hashed admin user password. Signed-off-by: Joachim Wiberg <troglobit@gmail.com>
Thank you! <3
It's also ridiculously cheap as well right now, 587 SEK incl. shipping! Probably end-of-mfg-cycle for this variant: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005596698380.html (watch out for the variant selection!!) There are other variants as well, but not as well supported with device trees and drivers yet. |

Initial testing is working great - thank you for all your hard work. Should we add pinout and board rate (1500000) on the Debug UART? I noticed the LEDs on ETH1 are not working, but the network functions are normal. |
Great to hear! 😃
Not following, but I was thinking of adding that to board/aarch64/r2s/README.md. Along with how to flash, the fact that the reset button doesn't work (yet) and LED info.
Can confirm, seeing that here too. Weird, could've sworn that was working at one point ... maybe related device tree, I started with Linux 5.16, went up to 6.7.1 before landing on the same kernel as base Infix use. I'll add issues here on GitHub for it so we don't forget. |
@minexn fix incoming, see #274 (comment) |
This PR adds support for the NanoPi R2S, a simple and quite powerful little two-port router. Please see each respective commit for details.
