  • a/kernel-modules-armv7-5.10.40_armv7-arm-1.txz
  • a/kernel_armv7-5.10.40-arm-1.txz
    /boot/initrd-armv7/[load_kernel_modules.src/platform/arm/allwinnerA20]:
    Support the Banana Pi Pro (thanks to glorsplitz on LQ).
    Support “Orange Pi” A20 model.

    Tighten the match for known Banana Pi's. Only:
    'LeMaker Banana Pi' and 'LeMaker Banana Pro' are supported.
    If you have another model of Banana Pi, please send the output of:
    strings /proc/device-tree/model
    to mozes@slackware.com

    Added sample user-serviceable scripts:
    /boot/local/README.txt,
    load_kernel_modules.post.sample
    load_kernel_modules.pre-modload.sample
    load_kernel_modules.pre.sample
    Added the OS InitRD manager tool:
    /usr/sbin/os-initrd-mgr
    This enables the Kernel package upgrade process to automatically
    reincorporate any local customisations.
    The tool can also be used to incorporate those customisations
    initially, and manage them going forwards.

    /install/doinst.sh:
    Call /usr/sbin/os-initrd-mgr to reincorporate any local user
    customisations into the OS InitRD.
