🚨 Upgrade Notes

Radxa switched /dev/mmcblk0 and /dev/mmcblk1 in radxa/kernel@ad338f4b after having previously swapped them in radxa/kernel@ad338f4b! 🥲

Version	eMMC	SD Card
v1.3.1	/dev/mmcblk0	/dev/mmcblk1
v1.3.2 - v1.3.3	/dev/mmcblk1	/dev/mmcblk0
v.1.3.4+	/dev/mmcblk0	/dev/mmcblk1

This means it's not really straightforward to upgrade from between some of these versions, as once applied, it'll fail the next boot as it's unable to find the install.disk.

The most practical option is to wipe your device and flash it from scratch, losing any state/data in the process. The flip was an interim mistake for a period on the Radxa kernel branch, but what is there now as of the v1.3.4 Rock 5 release matches mainline kernel behavior so should hopefully not change again

Differences from Upstream Talos

• Uses Dockerized toolchain for Radxa BSP kernel @ milas/rock5b-docker-build
• HACK: Refactor partition offset logic to align with Rockchip docs
• HACK: Remove BIOS/EFI partitions entirely
• HACK: Change Talos root partition to ext4 from xfs (vendor U-Boot does not support XFS)
• HACK: Add rk3588-rock-5b.dtb (& rk3588-uart7-m2.dtbo) directly to Talos root partition (these would normally be in the EFI partition)
• HACK: Add (hardcoded) /extlinux/extlinux.conf directly to Talos root partition
• HACK: Remove proc.sys.kernel.yama.ptrace_scope from KSPP list
• HACK: Disable IMA policy
• HACK: Add new step to systemRequirements phase to forcibly load the r8125 ethernet driver
• HACK: Increase minimum installer size to account for the BSP kernel being ~1GB
• HACK: Disable SystemInfoController (no SMBIOS support)
