Bug#979326: ITP: crust -- SCP firmware for sunxi SoCs
Hi.
You have quoted the following platforms, but I have found no matching
defconfig: an Olimex TERES-I DIY laptop, several Olimex arm64 boards,
pinetab. Do you know if such defconfigs already exist?
Once crust is available, adapting u-boot should be simple because
similar changes have already been tested by Arnaud for Mobian.

My idea is to have the Tinker team be maintainer of the package but host it in the Debian area of Salsa, to ease collaboration from any Debian members. I am open to other arrangements, though. > The Tinker team sounds interesting, though. :) Weird that I haven't thought of promoting the Tinker team to you, Vagrant: I got the idea for that team while visiting KEK in Kerala, India in 2016¹, but you are possibly the first true tinkerer that I have collaborated with: Please do consider joining :-) - Jonas ¹ https://couchdesign.dk/india/ -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private signature.asc Description: signature

Similarly, Crust is the lowest-level firmware component that runs on $FRUIT (Banana, Orange, Lichee) Pi single-board computers and other Allwinner-based devices, such as the Pine64 Pinebook and PinePhone. . Crust improves battery life and thermal performance by implementing a deep sleep state. During deep sleep, the CPU cores, the DRAM controller, and most onboard peripherals are powered down, reducing power consumption by 80% or more compared to an idle device. On boards without a PMIC, Crust is also responsible for orderly power-off and power-on of the device. . For this to work, Crust runs outside the main CPU and DRAM, on a dedicated always-on microprocessor called a System Control Processor (SCP). Crust is designed to run on a specific SCP implementation, Allwinner's AR100. This package requires a gcc cross-compiler for or1k (see bug#979323) and may also require patches to linux and u-boot (but possibly those are optional for an added power consumption). Personally I own an Olimex TERES-I DIY laptop and several Olimex arm64 boards, but would prefer to maintain this package as a team-effort with owners of other Allwinner boards involved as well. As I own (and develop for) a PinePhone and PineTab, I'll gladly co-maintain this package with you. Cheers, Arnaud
