923d8104bb tweaks to bottom of doc 2026-06-03 00:53:20 +00:00
6347f49fca revise: by-the-book Rockchip user-area boot approach
- Switch from eMMC hardware boot partition (0x48) to user area (0x78)
- p1 starts at sector 32768 to leave room for bootloader in GPT gap
- Write idbloader at sector 64, u-boot.itb at sector 16384
- Add experimental findings explaining why first approach failed
- Add verification steps (hexdump RKNS check, PARTITION_CONFIG check)
- All references from actual docs (Rockchip wiki, Gentoo, Khadas, PINE64)

384917e12e power system research: IP5389 series config, 3S2P cells, power budget, audio amp, display controller power 2026-06-01 00:42:39 +00:00
004d559434 add initial-bringup doc, link in README, save Armbian URL 2026-06-01 00:06:56 +00:00
db83e03231 update docs: eDP controller confirmed, drop charger from BOM, graduate to bring-up phase 2026-05-31 23:53:56 +00:00
e53c928e44 document display architecture research and settled design decisions
- eDP direct connection ruled out: undocumented pinouts, voltage mismatch risk,
  community consensus favors controller boards
- MIPI DSI ruled out: 2-lane 15-pin, can't dual-display with HDMI on Linux,
  and the salvaged panel is eDP
- Chosen path: HDMI -> eDP-to-HDMI controller board -> salvaged panel
- Mechanical HDMI A/B switch retained as fallback for external display

- README.md: SBC description, checklist, components table, quick ref, cost estimate
- docs/parts-list.md: SBC marked purchased, eMMC/controller/WiFi changes
- docs/design-decisions.md: WiFi exclusion reason, native eDP, power input
- docs/salvage-analysis.md: WiFi card not needed, cooling fan, summary tables
- docs/storage-architecture.md: rewritten for 256GB eMMC primary boot
- docs/usb-expansion.md: 2x USB3 native, port allocation, power budget
- docs/port-layout.md: OPi3B port differences (eDP, power-only USB-C, built-in WiFi)

ef9a7f40a8 add port layout and video output decisions
- Mechanical HDMI A/B switch for internal/external display toggle
- DisplayLink rejected: no ARM drivers exist
- 10-port layout split across 4 surfaces
- Port side: 4x USB-A, 1x USB-C data, 1x USB-C PD out
- Starboard: Ethernet, HDMI out, 3.5mm audio
- Bow: USB-C power input + fan exhaust
- Stern: handle, SD reader, Kensington lock
- Updated BOM with HDMI switch, panel-mount cables, SD reader
- Cost estimate now ~58
