Brendan Szymanski 10cf76215c Embed Mali GPU firmware via CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE, disable CONFIG_DRM_PANFROST
Panthor (Mali-G610 driver) requests mali_csffw.bin at ~1.2s, before /vendor
mounts at ~2.4s. With FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER intentionally disabled, the
firmware request fails instantly and probe fails. Embed the 276KB blob
directly in the kernel Image so firmware is always available at probe time.

Also disable CONFIG_DRM_PANFROST (Midgard/Bifrost driver) — it will never
bind a Valhall G610 GPU and is dead weight alongside panthor.

README.md Update README for Orange Pi 5 Ultra source kernel 2026-07-12 18:31:58 -04:00

Orange Pi 5 Ultra — Kernel Source

Source kernel for the Orange Pi 5 Ultra (Rockchip RK3588). Forked from dvab-sarma/android_kernel_rk_opi (android-16.0-hwaccel-testing branch).

Based on mainline Linux 6.15 with Rockchip DRM patches and Android kernel features (binder, memfd, cgroups, SELinux, etc.).

Device Tree

WiFi (brcmfmac SDIO) and Bluetooth (hci_uart BCM serdev) are enabled in the rk3588-orangepi-5-compact.dtsi shared DT include. PIN mappings follow jimmyhon/linux max-wifi branch:

Function Pin
WIFI_REG_ON GPIO2 PC5
BT_REG_ON (shutdown) GPIO4 PC4
BT device wake GPIO4 PC5
BT host wake GPIO0 PA0
WiFi host wake GPIO0 PB0
SDIO sdiom0_pins
BT UART uart7m0_xfer + ctsn/rtsn

Building

Built via LineageOS's TARGET_KERNEL_SOURCE mechanism. The kernel is compiled by AOSP clang during mka:

TARGET_KERNEL_SOURCE := kernel/rockchip/tart
TARGET_KERNEL_CONFIG := tart_defconfig

Output: Image + rk3588-orangepi-5-ultra.dtb at $(KERNEL_OUT)/arch/arm64/boot/.

Defconfig

tart_defconfig is based on android_orangepi5_defconfig with the same driver set. Key options:

  • CONFIG_DRM_PANFROST — Mali-G610 GPU (Panfrost)
  • CONFIG_BRCMFMAC_SDIO — AP6611S WiFi
  • CONFIG_BT_HCIUART_BCM — SYN43711 Bluetooth
  • CONFIG_R8169 — RTL8125BG 2.5GbE Ethernet
  • CONFIG_SND_SOC_ES8388 — Audio codec

Branch

lineage-23.2 — for use with LineageOS 23.2 (Android 16).
