Mainline-bsp image creation

Decided to make a rockpi4 mainline automated image build

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install git

Clone the source code

cd ~
git clone --recursive https://github.com/StuartIanNaylor/mainline-bsp.git

Just got the skeleton in and deliberately trying to make it much simpler than the spaghetti of the 4.4 bsp.
Clone, copy and contribute as will prob be scratching my head!

Any progress on this?

Nope got sidetracked and thought the collaboro https://gitlab.collabora.com/rockpi/rockpi4 was going to do the job

Do you know how to start the process to have armbian provide automated builds?
I read it but dont quite understand the process.
https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/#providing-build-configuration

If you don’t own the proper equipment to build images on your own, you can make use of the automated build system. Packages are recompiled every night (starting at 00:01 CEST) and a few testing images are produced. These images are accessible on the download server under board folder, subfolder “Nightly”. Packages, when successfully built, are published in the beta repository. You can switch to beta repository in armbian-config or by changing apt.armbian.com to beta.armbian.com in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list.

You can enable automated builds for any board by alterning (this process was slightly changed and not yet in a documentation) this file https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/targets.conf and our build server will make an image for you.

But for this board, automated builds are already enabled - we are producing one Debian Buster minimal image with a modern kernel: https://dl.armbian.com/rockpi-4b/nightly/ For testing, this should do.

In case you want something different, you need to use your own hardware resources and run build tool there.
