Add ASUS Tinker Edge R board. #6054

Closed ARC-MX closed 10 months ago

ARC-MX commented 10 months ago

Which feature would you like to have?

ASUS Tinker Edge R is an Single Board Computer (SBC) specially designed for AI applications. But the official firmware version is too old, request to add a new board. ASUS official u-boot source code and kernel source code are https://github.com/TinkerEdgeR/debian-u-boot https://github.com/TinkerEdgeR/debian-kernel, which have a complete device tree description file and board configuration file. However, my ability is limited and I cannot complete the adaptation, so I request official support

Funding

WIthout funding or someone that is willing to do it for free (we won't) it won't happen.

Besides the unfortunate situation with Asus and their community support problems, there are no plans for me to support a vendor kernel for the RK3399. The edge R doesn't have a mainline device tree because of some component sourcing decisions by Asus, the voltage regulators have no driver outside the Asus tree.

Let me put it this way: I have had this board for a couple years and I have not felt like dealing with the effort because Asus isn't serious about hobbyists or small users and won't invest in the mainline support.

As stated above, we don't have this planned to be supported. But if a PR is raised for the same, we will add it to build framework
