Package: linux-image-6.7.12-arm64
Version: 6.7.12-1
Severity: important
Tags: newcomer
Dear Maintainer,
I have a Bananapi BPI-R3 board which uses the Mediatek MT7986 ARM64 SoC for its
CPU. This is a router focussed board and currently has good support in the
OpenWRT distribution and in the upstream Linux for a few years. The device tree
for this board is
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm64/boot/dts/mediatek/mt7986a-bananapi-
bpi-r3.dts (as well as some .dtso files to enable specific flash chip options).
I have managed to get a custom U-boot build running that supports UEFI. So I
started testing the Ubuntu and Debian installers on a USB stick. With Ubuntu
22.04 (HWE kernel) and 24.04 the USB stick boots up into the installer fine,
however the Ethernet drivers are missing.
For Debian I tried the Debian stable 12.5.0 DVD ISO and the latest Debian
testing DVD ISO. Both boot into the GRUB menu fine, but after editing the GRUB
command line to remove the "quiet" kernel option, the Kernel fails to boot and
is left with no output except for the U-boot UEFI messages:
EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel...
EFI stub: EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL unavailable
EFI stub: Loaded initrd from LINUX_EFI_INITRD_MEDIA_GUID device path
EFI stub: Using DTB from configuration table
EFI stub: Exiting boot services...
There is a similar bug report #1052676 which was about supporting some MT8xxx
based Chromebooks.
So I had a look at the kernel modules included in the current testing kernel:
https://packages.debian.org/trixie/arm64/linux-image-6.7.12-arm64/filelist
I can see the various MT8xxx module files, but no files for the MT7986.
I believe based on my Ubuntu results that if all the modules required are
built, then Debian testing will be able to boot on this board.
There is a relevant discussion in https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-
team/linux/-/merge_requests/906#note_483427 which was the code change that
added the MT8xxx support about the various MT6xxx and MT7xxx modules being
disabled. This is a shame as it seems that without explicitly disabling them
then this code change would have added the modules I need.
I am happy to do any testing required to get this board supported.
I think it would also be useful to enable support for the MT7988 SoC and
Bananapi have a new board, the BPI-R4 with this chip. I have not yet purchased
this board, but I can do for testing with that SoC as well.
On the U-boot side, there is another related bug report #1037281. Once I can
get the kernel booting, I am happy to help with U-boot as well, based on my
findings so far.
