fsbl repo moved?

[KevinMX]

Seems the original milkv-duo/fsbl repo has moved/gone.

$ podman run --privileged -it --rm -v ./configs/:/configs -v ./image:/output ghcr.io/fishwaldo/sophgo-sg200x-debian:master make BOARD=duos fsbl

Checking out FSBL for duos

Cloning into '/build//fsbl'...

There is an fsbl repo at https://github.com/milkv-duo/duo-buildroot-sdk/tree/develop/fsbl though. I guess some changes might be needed?

Sigh. The MilkV people removed the repo for unknown reasons. I’ll have to rebase against the Sophgo repo instead. But I’m swamped with real life at the moment so might take me a while.

(Checking out the full buildroot at MilkV just for fsbl is a bit heavy!)

The reason is that many users have been complaining that the SDK is not fully open source, so Sophgo has gradually opened up some source codes, including fsbl. Sophgo changed fsbl to source code compilation, and we also synchronized Sophgo's source code.

You can do something like a sparse clone to avoid cloning the whole repo, but only the specific folder inside the repo.

Since GitHub already deprecated svn so for now it's a bit more complicated:

# Clone a sub-directory of a git repository. Probably replaces "svn co" which is deprecated by GitHub.
# Usage: git_sparse_clone $repo_url $repo_branch $sub_directory $target_location

function git_sparse_clone() {
    git clone --filter=blob:none --no-checkout --depth=1 -b $2 $1 upstream && cd upstream
    git sparse-checkout init --cone
    git sparse-checkout set $3
    git checkout
    mv $3 ../$4
    cd ../ && rm -rf upstream
}

And BTW, your Docker image is failing to build ATM. You'l probably want to change from Debian sid to bookworm. The latter works for me.

Any fixes for this yet, or is there anything I can contribute here to fix it? Not entirely sure how the repo/scripts are set up, or where the FSBL we need actually is 😅
