The Radxa Dragon Q6A is a compact single-board computer based on the
Qualcomm QCS6490 SoC (sc7280 family). A basic DTS for this board
already exists in mainline. This series enables the remaining hardware
and fixes platform-specific issues required for correct operation when
booting via UEFI firmware.
Patches 1-3 fix platform issues affecting QCS6490 boards booting via
UEFI firmware:
- The RSC hardware solver is left active by the UEFI firmware, causing
a security violation if the kernel attempts to reinitialize it.
- EFI variable access requires the board compatible string in the SCM
allowlist.
- The RA620 DP-to-HDMI bridge does not complete link training at
voltage swing level 3. Capping at level 2 matches the vendor kernel
behaviour and allows HDMI output to work correctly.
Patches 4-6 add DTS nodes enabling:
- GPU (Adreno 643) with clock controller and GMU
- DisplayPort output via RA620 passive DP-to-HDMI bridge
- USB3 SuperSpeed via the QMP combo PHY shared with DisplayPort
The following has been confirmed working on this board with mainline
drivers:
- KDE Plasma 6.6.5 desktop on Wayland with GPU acceleration
- HDMI display output via RA620 passive DP-to-HDMI bridge
- USB3 SuperSpeed (5Gbps confirmed via lsusb)
- OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.3 via Mesa Freedreno/Turnip
- Hardware video decode/encode via Venus (H.264, HEVC, VP9, MPEG-2)
- Audio via WCD938x codec (headphone output, microphone, HDMI audio)
- FastRPC interface to Hexagon DSP available (/dev/fastrpc-cdsp)
though inference workloads have not been tested
With the out-of-tree AIC8800 driver for the onboard Quectel FCU760K
WiFi/BT module, all remaining hardware on the board is functional
under mainline Linux.
Tested on Radxa Dragon Q6A (QCS6490) with mainline Linux 7.0.9.
