Kernel Description

View Chinese description | 查看中文说明

These kernels can be used on Armbian and OpenWrt systems, such as amlogic-s9xxx-armbian, amlogic-s9xxx-openwrt, flippy-openwrt-actions, and unifreq/openwrt_packit. They can be integrated when compiling firmware or installed in existing systems for use. For specific usage methods, please refer to kernel usage instructions.

The kernel_flippy, kernel_stable, and kernel_dev are universal kernels that can be interchanged. Flippy's feature is being more user-friendly, Stable is more intimate, and Dev is smoother.

The kernel files in kernel_flippy of Releases are the stable version, which are a series of kernels shared by flippy.
The kernel files in kernel_stable of Releases are the stable version with more support options enabled according to user needs.
The kernel files in kernel_dev of Releases are the development version, which adds third-party driver support and special modifications for some specific boxes.
The kernel files in kernel_rk3588 of Releases are dedicated versions for the rk3588 series, suitable for devices such as Rock-5B, HinLink-H88K, and Beelink-IPC-R and are not interchangeable with other series.
The kernel files in kernel_beta of Releases are beta versions that will be sent to testers for functional testing on specific devices. Other users should not install and use them.
In the dev section of releases, there is a cross-compilation toolchain download image required for compiling the kernel.
In the tools section of releases, there are Android system download images for some common TV boxes, which can be used to restore the Android system when using Armbian and OpenWrt systems.

Compiling the Kernel

For detailed instructions on how to compile the kernel, please refer to compile-kernel. The method of using github.com's Actions to compile the kernel can be found in .github/workflows. You can customize the kernel by modifying the kernel configuration file in kernel-config. You can add custom kernel patches in the kernel-patch directory.
You can adjust the kernel configuration as needed, such as adding drivers and patches. You can also compile a personalized signature kernel with special significance based on your mood, such as 5.10.95-happy-new-year, 5.10.96-beijing-winter-olympics, 5.10.99-valentines-day, and so on.
