Description

Add edge (mainline) kernel support for Youyeetoo YY3588 RK3588 board. This change enables the 6.18 kernel by adding a complete mainline device tree based on vendor DTS adapted for mainline kernel bindings.

Main changes:

  • Created rk3588-youyeetoo-yy3588.dts with all peripherals enabled
  • Enabled ES8323 audio with NS4160 speaker amplifier
  • Added RK8602 PMIC regulators for CPU/NPU power
  • Single HDMI0 output (HDMI1 not present on hardware)
  • Thermal management with PWM fan

How Has This Been Tested?

Tested on: Youyeetoo YY3588 with kernel 6.18

Learning: When reviewing kernel or u-boot version bump PRs in the Armbian build system, check if patches existed in previous kernel version directories (e.g., sunxi-6.12, sunxi-6.13) before describing them as new features. If a patch and the majority of its contents existed previously with no major functionality changes, focus the review on the actual changes: the version bump itself and patch compatibility adjustments. Don't describe existing patches being ported/maintained across versions as new features or drivers—this is misleading. The patches are existing code being re-aligned to work with the new upstream version.

Learning: In the Armbian build system, kernel patches (e.g., in patch/kernel/archive/sunxi-6.18/patches.armbian/) contain device tree overlays and other code that have existed for years and are maintained/ported across kernel versions. When reviewing PRs that modify these patch files, focus on the actual changes being made (e.g., Makefile fixes, new additions) rather than reviewing the entire existing content within the patch as if it were new code. The patch file contents are existing, stable code unless explicitly modified in the PR diff.

Learning: In Armbian's Rockchip vendor kernel branches (rk35xx-vendor), device tree files may not require the same headers as mainline Linux.

Learning: In Armbian board configuration files (config/boards/*.conf, *.csc, etc.), do not use kernel_config_set, kernel_config_set_m, kernel_config_set_y, or custom_kernel_config__* functions to modify kernel configuration. Kernel configuration is associated with LINUXFAMILY/BOARDFAMILY, not individual BOARD. Board-specific kernel modifications cause inconsistency in kernel packages published to the apt repository because boards within a family share the same kernel packages. Kernel configuration changes must be made in the appropriate kernel config file (e.g., config/kernel/linux-*-*.config) or in family configuration files (config/sources/families/*.conf, *.inc) instead.

Learning: In the Armbian build system, the modern recommended approach for kernel configuration is to use the kernel-config command via "./compile.sh BOARD=boardname BRANCH=branchname kernel-config" instead of the deprecated KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes flag. This provides a two-step workflow: configure using menuconfig, then build, with better transparency and control over configuration changes.

No existing codebase validation enforces that KERNEL_TEST_TARGET values must be present in KERNEL_TARGET.

8-8: Adding edge kernel target looks correct.

The addition of "edge" to KERNEL_TARGET aligns with the PR objective of adding mainline kernel 6.18 support for this board. The rockchip-rk3588 family inherits edge branch support from rockchip64_common.inc with proper kernel 6.18 configuration, and the corresponding device tree file exists in the patch directory.

666-671: Minor: Non-standard pinctrl-names = "active" for PWM2.

The typical convention is pinctrl-names = "default" for the operational pinctrl state. The PWM driver should still work, but "active" is an unusual choice. Consider changing to "default" for consistency with other device nodes.

Suggested change

 &pwm2 {

 	pinctrl-0 = <&pwm2m2_pins>;

Learning: In Armbian board configuration files (config/boards/*.conf, *.csc, etc.), do not use kernel_config_set, kernel_config_set_m, kernel_config_set_y, or custom_kernel_config__* functions to modify kernel configuration. Kernel configuration is associated with LINUXFAMILY/BOARDFAMILY, not individual BOARD. Board-specific kernel modifications cause inconsistency in kernel packages published to the apt repository because boards within a family share the same kernel packages. Kernel configuration changes must be made in the appropriate kernel config file (e.g., config/kernel/linux-*-*.config) or in family configuration files (config/sources/families/*.conf, *.inc) instead.

Learning: In the Armbian build system, rk3576 boards consistently use BOARDFAMILY="rk35xx" for both vendor and edge kernel targets. The rk35xx family configuration sources rockchip64_common.inc, which provides edge and current kernel branch definitions, making these branches available even though they're not defined directly in rk35xx.conf.

Learning: In the Armbian build system, kernel branches using non-mainline/vendor forks (like BeagleBoard's linux repository) should be named "vendor" or "vendor-rt" rather than "current" or "edge". The "current" and "edge" naming is reserved for mainline kernel branches. This affects both the case statement in family config files (e.g., `vendor | vendor-rt)` instead of `current | current-rt)`) and the corresponding KERNEL_TARGET declarations in board config files.

Learning: In the Armbian build system, vendor kernel forks can use "vendor-edge" branch naming for bleeding-edge or pre-release vendor kernels, as demonstrated in config/sources/families/k3.conf. The typical vendor branch naming pattern is: "vendor" or "vendor-rt" for stable vendor releases, and "vendor-edge" for bleeding-edge/pre-release vendor versions. The "edge" naming without "vendor-" prefix is reserved for mainline kernel branches.

Learning: In the Armbian build system, vendor branch configurations in family files are designed to be shared across multiple SoCs within the same family that use the same vendor kernel tree. For example, rk35xx and rockchip-rk3588 families both use identical vendor branch settings (same KERNELSOURCE, KERNELBRANCH, and KERNELPATCHDIR), demonstrating that vendor branches are intentionally generic rather than SoC-specific.

Learning: In the Armbian build system, the modern recommended approach for kernel configuration is to use the kernel-config command via "./compile.sh BOARD=boardname BRANCH=branchname kernel-config" instead of the deprecated KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes flag. This provides a two-step workflow: configure using menuconfig, then build, with better transparency and control over configuration changes.

Learning: The rewrite-patches tool (REWRITE_PATCHES=yes) in the Armbian build system can inadvertently introduce semantic changes when the u-boot/kernel git base revision differs from expected state. The tool applies patches, commits them, and re-exports them using git format-patch, which can cause the re-exported patch to reflect the base revision's state rather than preserving the original patch intent. This is particularly problematic for device tree changes like interrupt specifications. The tool currently lacks validation mechanisms to detect such semantic drift, and affected patches must be manually corrected after rewriting.

8-8: LGTM!

The addition of edge to KERNEL_TARGET is correct. The rockchip-rk3588 family inherits edge kernel branch definitions from rockchip64_common.inc, and the corresponding mainline device tree is provided in the rockchip64-6.18 patch directory. Based on learnings, "edge" naming is appropriate for mainline kernel branches.


17-28: Minor observation: HDMI1 audio rule may be unused.

The PR description notes that HDMI1 is not present on this board, yet the udev rules include hdmi1-sound. This is harmless but could be cleaned up for clarity. Since this code is pre-existing and not part of the current changes, this is just a note for potential future cleanup.

patch/kernel/archive/rockchip64-6.18/dt/rk3588-youyeetoo-yy3588.dts (19)

1-31: LGTM!

The header, model/compatible strings, aliases, and chosen node follow standard RK3588 mainline DTS conventions. The license (GPL-2.0+ OR MIT) is appropriate, and the alias mappings correctly reference the RTL8125 PCIe NIC as primary ethernet and GMAC1 as secondary.


33-64: LGTM!

The ADC keys configuration follows the standard adc-keys binding with properly ordered threshold voltages (descending from keyup to vol-up). The KEY_* macros are correctly used from the included <dt-bindings/input/input.h>.


66-108: LGTM!

The ES8323 audio codec integration using simple-audio-card follows standard patterns. The audio routing correctly separates headphone outputs (LOUT2/ROUT2) from speaker amplifier inputs (LOUT1/ROUT1), with proper headphone detection GPIO and speaker amplifier enable control.


110-116: LGTM!

The PWM fan configuration with 6 cooling levels is standard. The fan is properly linked to thermal management via the cooling-maps defined later in the file.


238-246: Verify: vcc5v0_host regulator has no vin-supply or GPIO control.

This regulator is defined as always-on/boot-on but lacks a vin-supply or GPIO to control it. This pattern is sometimes used for board-level power rails that are always present, but verify this matches the actual hardware design where this 5V rail is directly powered without software control.


278-322: LGTM!

The combo PHY enablement and CPU power supply assignments follow the standard RK3588 tri-cluster configuration: LITTLE cores (l0-l3) on vdd_cpu_lit_s0, big cluster 0 (b0-b1) on vdd_cpu_big0_s0, and big cluster 1 (b2-b3) on vdd_cpu_big1_s0.


324-340: LGTM!

The GMAC1 configuration for RTL8211F PHY follows standard patterns: RGMII-RXID mode with internal RX clock delay, appropriate TX delay (0x43), and proper reset GPIO timing.


342-380: LGTM!

The GPU and HDMI configuration is correct. Only HDMI0 is enabled (matching the hardware description), with proper VOP2 endpoint linkage. The HDMI receiver enables video input functionality with appropriate HPD GPIO.


481-517: LGTM!

The USB-C connector definition is comprehensive with proper dual-role configuration, PD sink/source profiles, and correct port mappings for high-speed, super-speed, and SBU lanes linking to the USBDP PHY endpoints.


542-574: LGTM!

The I2S and MDIO configurations are correct. I2S0 connects to the ES8323 codec, I2S5-7 support HDMI audio paths, and MDIO1 properly defines the RGMII PHY at address 0x1.


576-615: LGTM!

The PCIe configuration properly allocates lanes: PCIe 2.0 x1 for WiFi and RTL8125 2.5GbE, and PCIe 3.0 x4 for NVMe. The RTL8125 device node definition enables the ethernet0 alias mapping.


633-636: Note: GPIO1_PB4 used for both PCIe reset and clkreqn pinctrl.

This GPIO is configured in both pcie30x4_clkreqn_m1 pinctrl and as reset-gpios for pcie3x4. This is a known RK3588 pattern where the CLKREQ# pin is multiplexed with the reset function during initialization. The configuration appears intentional.


709-741: LGTM!

The storage configuration is well-structured: eMMC with HS400 enhanced strobe at 200MHz, SD card with UHS-SDR104 at 150MHz, and SFC correctly disabled to avoid the UART7 pin conflict as documented.


743-1068: LGTM!

The RK806 SPI PMIC configuration is comprehensive with proper supply chain definitions, all required DCDC/PLDO/NLDO regulators, suspend state management, and DVS pin configuration. This follows the standard RK3588 power management architecture.


1070-1102: LGTM!

The thermal management configuration properly integrates with the PWM fan: two temperature thresholds (55°C and 65°C) with appropriate hysteresis and cooling level mappings for progressive fan speed control.


1104-1139: LGTM!

The USB 2.0 PHY configuration properly enables all four PHYs with appropriate power supplies. The rockchip,typec-vbus-det property on u2phy0_otg correctly enables USB-C VBUS detection.


1141-1163: LGTM!

The UART configuration enables the debug console (uart2) and additional UARTs. UART7 is properly enabled now that SFC is disabled to resolve the pin conflict.


1165-1225: LGTM!

The USB host controller configuration is comprehensive: USB-C with role-switch via XHCI and USBDP PHY0 (with orientation switching and SBU DC detection), plus USB 3.0 host via USBDP PHY1 with DP lane muxing.


1227-1243: LGTM!

The VOP2 configuration correctly maps VP0 to HDMI0 output with proper endpoint linkage. The single video output path matches the hardware description.

17-28: Remove unnecessary HDMI1 audio rule.

For example, input key definitions like KEY_BACK and KEY_VOLUMEUP may be handled differently in BSP kernels and don't necessarily need explicit includes like <dt-bindings/input/input.h> that would be required in mainline kernel device trees.

Learning: In the Armbian build system, vendor branch configurations in family files are designed to be shared across multiple SoCs within the same family that use the same vendor kernel tree. For example, rk35xx and rockchip-rk3588 families both use identical vendor branch settings (same KERNELSOURCE, KERNELBRANCH, and KERNELPATCHDIR), demonstrating that vendor branches are intentionally generic rather than SoC-specific.

Learning: For the RTW88 SDIO RF path detection fix patch (004-rtw88-sdio-rf-path-detection-fix.patch), SuperKali prefers using exact version matching (eq 6.1 || eq 6.16) rather than range checks, as the patch has only been tested on those specific kernel versions and may be mainstreamed soon.

Learning: In Armbian board configuration files (config/boards/*.conf, *.csc, etc.), do not use kernel_config_set, kernel_config_set_m, kernel_config_set_y, or custom_kernel_config__* functions to modify kernel configuration. Kernel configuration is associated with LINUXFAMILY/BOARDFAMILY, not individual BOARD. Board-specific kernel modifications cause inconsistency in kernel packages published to the apt repository because boards within a family share the same kernel packages. Kernel configuration changes must be made in the appropriate kernel config file (e.g., config/kernel/linux-*-*.config) or in family configuration files (config/sources/families/*.conf, *.inc) instead.

Learning: In the Armbian build system, rk3576 boards consistently use BOARDFAMILY="rk35xx" for both vendor and edge kernel targets. The rk35xx family configuration sources rockchip64_common.inc, which provides edge and current kernel branch definitions, making these branches available even though they're not defined directly in rk35xx.conf.

Learning: In the Armbian build system, kernel branches using non-mainline/vendor forks (like BeagleBoard's linux repository) should be named "vendor" or "vendor-rt" rather than "current" or "edge". The "current" and "edge" naming is reserved for mainline kernel branches. This affects both the case statement in family config files (e.g., `vendor | vendor-rt)` instead of `current | current-rt)`) and the corresponding KERNEL_TARGET declarations in board config files.

Learning: Not all Armbian boards support all kernel versions (legacy, current, edge). Some boards may only support specific kernel versions due to hardware limitations or lack of mainline support, which is why their KERNEL_TARGET contains only the supported options (e.g., just "legacy").

Learning: In the Armbian build system, vendor kernel forks can use "vendor-edge" branch naming for bleeding-edge or pre-release vendor kernels, as demonstrated in config/sources/families/k3.conf. The typical vendor branch naming pattern is: "vendor" or "vendor-rt" for stable vendor releases, and "vendor-edge" for bleeding-edge/pre-release vendor versions. The "edge" naming without "vendor-" prefix is reserved for mainline kernel branches.

Learning: In Armbian build system configuration files like config/sources/families/*.conf, KERNELSOURCE is explicitly declared when using unofficial or 3rd party kernel repositories (like the "dev" branch using https://github.com/apritzel/linux), but can be omitted when using the standard mainline kernel (like the "edge" branch) since it will fall back to the default mainline source.

Learning: In the Armbian build system, the modern recommended approach for kernel configuration is to use the kernel-config command via "./compile.sh BOARD=boardname BRANCH=branchname kernel-config" instead of the deprecated KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes flag. This provides a two-step workflow: configure using menuconfig, then build, with better transparency and control over configuration changes.

Learning: In the Armbian build system, the "all" target in kernel build has been used for a long time without issues. The "all" target builds vmlinux/Image/Image.gz defaults for the architecture and works correctly alongside KERNEL_IMAGE_TYPE in the build_targets_build array.

Learning: KERNEL_TARGET and KERNEL_TEST_TARGET in Armbian build system do not have enforced validation relationships. KERNEL_TARGET is used for interactive menu ordering and branch validation, while KERNEL_TEST_TARGET is used for build list generation and recorded in /etc/armbian-release. No existing codebase validation enforces that KERNEL_TEST_TARGET values must be present in KERNEL_TARGET.

8-8: Adding edge kernel target looks correct.

The addition of "edge" to KERNEL_TARGET aligns with the PR objective of adding mainline kernel 6.18 support for this board. The rockchip-rk3588 family inherits edge branch support from rockchip64_common.inc with proper kernel 6.18 configuration, and the corresponding device tree file exists in the patch directory.

Nice. If mainline DT is working well then getting mainline u-boot should be quite simple too, check v2026.01directory as that has simple dt/ et al folders for patch-less u-boot.

@rpardini I’m still working on this PR, I have a problem with the audio driver es8323, it’s seen by the kernel but I don’t have any audio output either from the headphones or from the speaker, I’m looking for a solution because in the R1 model this problem had been solved.

Do not merge it, il will merge it after an audio fix.
