hi, i am definitely missing something (armbian works) - i take last known good uboot (works with armbian) install idbloader.img with seek=64 and u-boot.itb with seek=16384, known good extlinux config (works with armbian), use single partition starting from 32768, bootstrap debian buster to that single partition and take either stable (4.19.x) or their last 5.5.0.x mainline kernel. nothing happens although i see that ethernet card gets initialized
<damex>
and then reinintizalied (uboot -> kernel?) again. display have no output and networking is not available. uboot have no output too (sorry i don't have cables for serial) - is there anything i could try? same thing works with armbian armbian rootfs+same upstream uboot+custom simple extlinux conf

damex: get a serial lead, otherwise you're kind of looking blind
<damex>
obbardc: well, it will take 2-3 months
<obbardc>
ouch

obbardc: maybe there is a way to get hdmi framebuffer ?
<damex>
like simplefb or something very primitive
<obbardc>
if you can boot armbian then start replacing parts of their image with your own u-boot for instance
<damex>
i can boot armbian with mainline/upstream uboot and then tried swapping boot.{cmd,scr} with simple extlinux config -> works.

if i try to boot debian kernel on armbian rootfs - does not boot. if i try to boot armbian kernel on debian rootfs - does not boot.

i am definitely missing something on the way

note that the actual firmware binaries might be different to the ones in linux-firmware (e.g. different IRQ setups), so you may need those as well as just the NVRAM
<robmur01>
Alternatively, I think LibreELEC has a slightly more "upstreamified" collection of such module firmwares somewhere

robmur01: the firmware from linux-firmware seems to work. I was just missing the nvram file. Not sure what information is in there :-/

yeah, the file in the rkwifibt repository is the same that I found in my original firmware.
