Newer buildroot

[Un1q32]

5.9 is kinda old. I think we should use the latest LTS kernel (currently 5.15). I'm not too familiar with buildroot or sedna so if theres some weird reason why only 5.9.0 works then let me know.

[Un1q32]

closing this bc its due to being built with an older version of buildroot. currently testing newer buildroot

[Un1q32]

reopening as a newer buildroot issue cuz why not. technically this would be for https://github.com/fnuecke/buildroot but idc

[Un1q32]

ive got a repo where i just merged everything from the latest stable release of upstream buildroot into fnuecke's repo https://github.com/OldWorldOrdr/buildroot.

i tried to build it and i get this idk what to do

i think its a patch made for an older version of the kernel so it would need to be adapted for 5.17 (version in latest stable buildroot). I'm gonna compile without the patch and see how far it gets me.

[Un1q32]

it seems to work fine at first glance. ill remove the breaking patch real quick so it builds without any tweaks

[Un1q32]

OK https://github.com/OldWorldOrdr/buildroot/ is finished.

[Un1q32]

After building just open the sedna jar (not the oc2 jar) and go to the generated folder and replace the files with their counterparts from output/images in the buildroot directory

[Un1q32]

the kernel appears to just not work, so dont replace the Image file in the sedna jar or your system wont boot

Kernel 5.15 works, I've modified the build config to use it.

Kernel 5.15 works, I've modified the build config to use it.

running poweroff doesn't fully turn off the system, which I think is what that kernel patch did, you can still just press the on button on the side of the screen to turn it off. Fixing this would probably require the patch to be ported to 5.15 which is not something I know how to do.
