XpressReal(https://xpressreal.io/) is a family of Single Board Computers
developed in collaboration between Fyde Innovations, Radxa and Realtek.
XpressReal T3 is the first product in the family - a small form factor
high performance single board computer powered by the Realtek RTD1619B,
which runs FydeOS/openFyde and Linux!
Now we are adding the awesome Armbian Linux support for XpressReal T3!
This commit introduces some binary files that XpressReal T3 needed:
- firmware/realtek/rtd1619b
These binaries are the firmware for rtd1619b peripherals
(including the audio decoder, video decoder, etc.).
- u-boot-fw.tar.gz
This contains some co-processor firmware,
which needs to be loaded by u-boot in the early stage of boot.
- u-boot-prebuilt.tar.gz
These are hwsettings related files, used for tasks such as DDR initialization.
These files come from the rtd1619b SDK, which has already been open-sourced on our github:
- [firmware](https://github.com/XpressReal/linux-sdk/tree/main/meta-xpressreal/recipes-kernel/linux-firmware/files/rtd1619b)
- [u-boot prebuilts](https://github.com/XpressReal/linux-sdk/tree/main/meta-xpressreal/recipes-bsp/u-boot/files/prebuilt/rtd1619b)
Switch to newer U-Boot since it works reliably and provides upstream
improvements.
Add patch/u-boot/v2025.10 and the generic patch, as BOOTPATCHDIR cannot
be unset (fallback to legacy fails).
BOOT_SCENARIO="binman-atf-mainline" cannot be set here since it applies
globally to the CSC file and would break branch=vendor. Users who want
it can enable it manually.
Affected kernels:
- odroidxu4-6.6
- spacemit-6.6
the following script gets it mostly (!) right
for patch in patch-6.6.*; do
# Extract the numbers using parameter expansion
num1=${patch:10:2} # Get the first number (2 digits)
num2=${patch:13:2} # Get the second number (2 digits)
# Pad the numbers with leading zeros
padded_num1=$(printf "%03d" "$num1")
padded_num2=$(printf "%03d" "$num2")
# Construct the new patch name
new_patch="patch-6.6.${padded_num1}-${padded_num2}.patch"
# Rename the file using git mv
git mv -v "$patch" "$new_patch"
done
The change isn't consistent and only works in 2 out of 3 units.
When it fails, it does so hard, breaking SDIO.

* feat(board/orangepi5pro): Update U-Boot to v2025.07 for eMMC support
Updated the U-Boot patch from v2024.04 to v2025.07, this change
finally enables booting from eMMC on the Orange Pi 5 Pro.
The device tree source for the board has also been refactored to
support the new U-Boot version and clean up peripheral definitions.
* orangepi5pro: dts: Fix incorrect GRF node name
The GRF node was misspelled as 'sysgrf' instead
of the correct 'sys_grf'.
This commit corrects the phandle to the proper value.
