Description

This PR unifies NanoPi R6S, R6C and M6 images by distinguishing them using SARADC at uboot and SPL level. As well as, the PR also adds support for new M6V2 board. Also the DSI overlay of M6 is no longer enabled by default and it has to be enabled manually from armbian-config or armbianEnv.txt

To get images working with this way, old SPI images or uboot loaders stored in eMMC must be erased or updated as the bootrom order of SPI and eMMC is higher than SD card.

GitHub issue reference:
Jira reference number [AR-9999]

Increases PCIe link-training retries, updates BTRFS zstd decompression handling, and refreshes Zbit SPI-NOR patch metadata.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 6c703

This PR changes board detection, boot-device handling, and adds M6V2 support, but the current head can produce unbootable M6V2 vendor images, fail to select a FIT configuration after ADC detection errors, mishandle R6S/R6C SPI boots, and potentially fail DTS compilation; merge should be blocked until these issues are resolved.

patch/u-boot/v2026.07/board_nanopi6-series/0001-allow-fdt-fixups-before-dm-as-spl_board_init-works-l.patch (1)

18-22: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Declare spl_board_fixup_fdt() in a header.

The patch defines the weak function in common/spl/spl.c only. The board file nanopi6-series-rk3588s.c defines the strong override without a shared prototype. A future signature change then compiles cleanly and silently drops the override. U-Boot also builds with -Wmissing-prototypes in many configurations.

Add the declaration to include/spl.h next to spl_board_init(), and include <spl.h> in the board file.

vcc_3v3_sd_s0 at Line 143 uses gpios. vcc5v0_host_20 at Line 188 and vcc5v0_usb_otg0 at Line 200 use the singular gpio. The regulator-fixed binding marks gpio as deprecated in favor of gpios.

-EINVAL for every option.
- Around line 186-203: Update spl_board_fixup_fdt() to check and handle the
return value of each do_fixup_by_path() call, including the possible

Complete the interactive board description and board name.

Line 1 does not describe the hardware features required for board selection.
Line 2 omits the supported NanoPi M6V2 model.

Add an accurate hardware description with the SoC, core count, RAM options, connectivity, storage, and special features. Add M6V2 to BOARD_NAME.

Based on learnings: the first-line board comment is an interactive hardware description and must state SoC model, core count, RAM options, connectivity, storage, and special features.

@EvilOlaf, verified. M6V2 is the NanoPi M6 v2 board variant. This shared configuration supports it through the m6v2 runtime model path.

The first-line description correctly identifies this as a common image. The single-board hardware-description rule does not apply here. I am withdrawing the finding.

Learning: In `armbian/build`, a shared multi-purpose board configuration such as `config/boards/nanopi6-series.conf` can use a common-image description instead of the single-board hardware description normally required in the first comment line. The single-board description requirement does not apply to this type of shared image.

Learning: Enforce that the first line comment in Armbian board configuration files (e.g., config/boards/*.conf, and related boards files with extensions like *.csc, *.wip) contains a dedicated hardware feature description, not a description of what the file generates. The comment must specify: SoC model, core count, RAM options, and key features (connectivity options, storage interfaces, special features). This text is used during interactive compilation, so accuracy and completeness matter. For any new board config file, flag if the first-line comment is not descriptive of the hardware (e.g., prefer '# Qualcomm QCS8250 octa core 4GB-16GB eMMC GBE USB3 WiFi BT' over '# Generate kernel and rootfs image...').

Learning: In Armbian board configuration files (regardless of file extension), the standard pattern is to have only one line as a comment describing the board hardware specifications. This single-line description typically includes the SoC model, core count, RAM options, and key features like connectivity options, storage interfaces, and special features. The file extensions indicate board support status: .conf (standard support), .csc (community supported), .eos (end of support), .tvb (tvbox), .wip (work in progress).

ah well, there is indeed an m6v2. But yeah, it is up to the author if this is actually also supported or not

@EvilOlaf, agreed. The M6V2 board exists, but inclusion in this common image is an author decision. The implementation defines the supported set. No further action is needed for this withdrawn finding.

Handle control-FDT fixup failures

fdtdec_setup() initializes gd->fdt_blob before this hook, and dm_init() builds the live tree afterward. However, it does not guarantee spare writable FDT capacity. Check the do_fixup_by_path() results and ensure sufficient padding before DM scans the tree; otherwise -FDT_ERR_NOSPACE is ignored.

Check the do_fixup_by_path() return values, and confirm the R6S/R6C SPI-boot path.

Two points on this hook.

  1. Neither call is checked. do_fixup_by_path() calls fdt_setprop(), which can return -FDT_ERR_NOSPACE. The value length changes between 5 bytes ("okay") and 9 bytes ("disabled"), so the blob can grow. A silent failure leaves both controllers in their DT default state, and DM then probes the wrong one.
  2. The hook applies to every board in the series, but only M6 shares the eMMC and FSPI-M0 pins. If an R6S or R6C boots from SPI, this hook disables mmc@fe2e0000 on hardware that has no pin conflict. board_fit_config_name_match() at Line 246 also selects the SPI device tree only for M6, so an SPI-booted R6S runs U-Boot proper with &sfc disabled and cannot rewrite its own SPI flash.

Restrict the fixup to the boards that need it, or document why the series-wide behavior is intended.

Align the FIT fallback with the environment fallback.

rk_board_late_init() at Line 229 falls back to rk3588s-nanopi-r6s.dtb when detection fails. board_fit_config_name_match() returns -EINVAL for every configuration in the same case. SPL then finds no matching configuration and the board does not boot.

If the ADC read fails on a working board, the two functions must behave the same way.

Proposed fallback
 int board_fit_config_name_match(const char *name)
 {
 	const struct board_model *model = get_board_model();
 	const char *fit_name;
 
-	if (!model)

patch/u-boot/v2026.07/board_nanopi6-series/0001-allow-fdt-fixups-before-dm-as-spl_board_init-works-l.patch (1)

18-22: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Declare spl_board_fixup_fdt() in a header.

The patch defines the weak function in common/spl/spl.c only. The board file nanopi6-series-rk3588s.c defines the strong override without a shared prototype. A future signature change then compiles cleanly and silently drops the override. U-Boot also builds with -Wmissing-prototypes in many configurations.

Add the declaration to include/spl.h next to spl_board_init(), and include <spl.h> in the board file.

Use gpios consistently in the fixed regulators.

vcc_3v3_sd_s0 at Line 143 uses gpios. vcc5v0_host_20 at Line 188 and vcc5v0_usb_otg0 at Line 200 use the singular gpio. The regulator-fixed binding marks gpio as deprecated in favor of gpios.

Give the two ADC buttons distinct node names and key codes.

Both nodes are named button-maskrom, and both report KEY_VENDOR. The labels differ ("Maskrom" and "Recovery"), but labels are not exported as input event codes. Userspace therefore cannot tell the two buttons apart.

Rename the second node and assign a distinct key code.

 		compatible = "adc-keys";
 		io-channels = <&saradc 1>;

Confirm the vcc_3v3_sd_s0 voltage constraints.

The regulator is named vcc_3v3_sd_s0 and takes its input from vcc_3v3_s3, but both regulator-min-microvolt and regulator-max-microvolt are 3000000. &sdmmc at Line 502 uses this rail as vmmc-supply, so the MMC core reports 3.0 V for the card supply.

If the board rail is a 3.3 V load switch from vcc_3v3_s3, set both values to 3300000.

Verify against the FriendlyElec schematic before you change the values.

Nice. I wonder if keeping the old board files, with an include (eg similar to https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/config/boards/nanopct6-lts.conf) would help keep compatibility? (eg without this, the bsp-cli packages for the removed boards would disappear/be left in old version in apt repos).

Yes that makes sence. I will add them back for backward-compatbility.
