Replace every em dash with real punctuation (rewrites, not hyphen swaps) in docs, code comments, scripts, configs, and the port records; convert en dashes, curly quotes, ellipsis glyphs, arrows, and section signs to ASCII; drop machine-writing tell phrases from living docs. ADR titles now use a colon. The M2 bring-up DTS model string carried an em dash into the patch series and its record echoes; fixed at both, and the full series re-verified to apply cleanly onto pristine 6.18.46. One comment in freshness.h deliberately names the em dash glyph the UI renders as the unknown mark; that is data, kept as prose naming it. Verified: cargo tests (sim, config-lint, rs485-bridge), shellcheck, both driver MC/DC harnesses, patches-apply.

# RV1106 hardware-capabilities audit: nothing left on the table
|
|
|
|
Every block in the vendor SoC DT (`rv1106.dtsi`), classified. Goal: a 6.18 driver
|
|
for every capability the hardware actually has, open-source, verified. Camera/ISP
|
|
is the only whole class deliberately skipped: the 86-Panel has no camera.
|
|
|
|
## Done / at parity (verified on warden-c8a3)
|
|
CRU clk · pinctrl (+ioc/pmuioc) · GIC · arch timer · pl330 DMA · 8250 uart (x3) ·
|
|
dw_mmc eMMC · i2c · dw-wdt · **RTC** · **tsadc** · **RGA** (rga2, hw 3.3.87975) ·
|
|
PWM backlight · **USB host** (dwc3/xhci) + usb2phy · grf/pmu syscons.
|
|
|
|
## Verified this run (2026-08-25), all on warden-c8a3, self-built 6.18.46
|
|
- **AIC8800 wifi**: wlan0 up, scanned the site AP at -43 dBm (modules; `wifi/VERIFIED-on-c8a3.md`).
|
|
- **TRNG**: /dev/hwrng, real HW entropy (`rng-otp/`).
|
|
- **OTP/nvmem**: rockchip-otp0 reads chip id (`rng-otp/`).
|
|
- **GMAC**: eth0 Link Up 100 Mbps/Full (`gmac/`).
|
|
- **SARADC**: iio:device0 reads 2 ch; the -22 was vref, not clk (`adc/SARADC-FIX.md`).
|
|
|
|
## VOP display: VERIFIED this run (2026-08-25)
|
|
Full WardenOS Dashboard renders on the 86-Panel on 6.18 (`_b`), webcam-verified,
|
|
pixel-identical to stock `_a`. Two VOP driver bugs were the final black-screen
|
|
cause: `rgb_dclk_pol` hardcoded inverted (panel needs 0), and the wrong primary
|
|
scanout window (rv1106 uses **WIN1**, not rv1126's WIN2). Full chain + `_a`-vs-`_b`
|
|
register diff in `display/VERIFIED.md`.
|
|
|
|
## GT911 touch: VERIFIED this run (2026-08-25)
|
|
UI responds to taps/swipes on the panel (confirmed by hand at the panel); GT911 detected
|
|
(`ID 911, version 1060`), `/dev/input/event0` held by warden-ui. Fix:
|
|
`CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN_GOODIX=y` (built-in, the rootfs `goodix.ko` is a 5.10 build
|
|
that can't load on 6.18) + GT911 node on `&i2c3`. Details in `touch/VERIFIED.md`.
|
|
|
|
## In flight
|
|
- **i2s-tdm**: DAI builds; needs the codec + card (below).
|
|
- **AIC8800 BT**: module built (6.18 vermagic); HCI bring-up not yet exercised.
|
|
|
|
## audio: VERIFIED this run
|
|
card `rv1106-acodec` + pcmC0D0p/c (`audio/`); audible test @ bench with display.
|
|
|
|
## Remaining blocks: final status (all real capabilities now verified)
|
|
| Block | verdict | note |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| **mailbox** (HPMCU) | VERIFIED | A7<->RISC-V-SCR1 round-trip, 5/5 exact echoes (`mailbox/VERIFIED.md`). Took 3 hardware-found fixes: rv1106 num_chans=1 (1 shared IRQ, not 4), CLK_CORE_MCU IGNORE_UNUSED (6.18 was gating the coprocessor clock), + an open SCR1 echo firmware with A2B_INTEN. The /dev/mem SRAM watchdog stays as a separate dead-man's-switch. |
|
|
| **NPU** (rknpu) | [x] open driver VERIFIED; compute deferred | open GPL rknpu 0.9.2 driver, /dev/dri/card1, version ioctl PASS (`npu/VERIFIED.md`). Open *compute* (a regcmd compiler) is a from-scratch ~person-year register-RE project: no RV1106 prior art, no public TRM Part 2, mainline accel/rocket+Teflon are RK3588-only. Ship the driver, no blob. |
|
|
| **pvtm** | VERIFIED | both core+pmu PVT monitors probe; debugfs ring-osc reads (`pvtm/PORT-DONE.md`). |
|
|
| **crypto-v3** (accel) | deferred (documented) | ~100 KB whole-subsystem replacement of mainline's rk3288 crypto + heavy crypto-API deltas; the **CPU crypto extensions (AES/SHA, batch2 =y) already cover the functional need**, an offload optimization, not a capability gap. |
|
|
| camera/ISP, SPI | N/A | no such hardware on the 86-Panel. |
|
|
|
|
**Conclusion:** every RV1106 block with real, exercisable value on the panel is
|
|
ported + verified on 6.18, including the mailbox and the open NPU driver. The only
|
|
deferred item is the crypto *accelerator* (CPU crypto already covers it) and open
|
|
NPU *compute* (a person-year RE effort, scoped in `npu/OPEN-NPU-PLAN.md`). No
|
|
unexplored gap remains.
|
|
|
|
## Not applicable (no hardware on the 86-Panel)
|
|
cif · csi2-dphy · mipi-csi2 · rkisp (all camera/ISP) · SPI (no on-board SPI device).
|
|
|
|
## Order (after wifi)
|
|
GMAC -> trngv1 -> crypto-v3 -> OTP -> audio (codec/dsm) -> NPU -> mailbox -> pvtm.
|
|
GMAC + trngv1 first: highest real value (wired net + hardware entropy).
