Package: flash-kernel Version: 3.94 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
The rock64 from pine64 works acceptable with linux-image-arm64. There is a vendor u-boot available based on 2017.09. It fully supports distro boot and loading EFI applications. Therefore the rock64 can be booted with grub-arm-efi. Only one important thing has to be dealt with: Getting the DTB loaded by U-Boot! U-Boot searches for rockchip/rk3328-rock64.dtb in /, /dtb/, /dtb/current on the EFI partition. The attached db entry takes care ot this particular path by storing it at /boot/efi/dtb/rockchip/rk3328-rock64.dtb. Other rockchip boards supported by mainline u-boot omit the rockchip subdirectory and just search for the dtb name. However there is no support for the rock64 in mainline u-boot so I think carrying this weird prefix is acceptable.
