Verified: wifi, TRNG, OTP, GMAC, SARADC. Honest remaining value/effort: audio (next real capability), mailbox (small cleanup), crypto-v3 (defer — CPU crypto covers the need), NPU (no open userspace), pvtm (low).

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 (×3) · 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).
🔨 In flight
- VOP display — binds; connector is tomorrow's on-panel work.
- i2s-tdm — DAI builds; needs the codec + card (below).
- AIC8800 BT — module built (6.18 vermagic); HCI bring-up not yet exercised.
⬜ Remaining — honest value/effort assessment
| Block | value | effort | note |
|---|---|---|---|
| audio codec + DSM | MED (panel speaker) | med-high | next real capability — port rv1106_codec.c (2317L) + rk_dsm.c + simple-audio-card; ASoC 5.10→6.18 deltas. Card-registers verifiable now; audible test joins tomorrow's bench session |
| mailbox (HPMCU) | MED | small | proper coproc mbox; the /dev/mem R5 path already works, so this is a cleanup not a gap |
| crypto-v3 (accel) | LOW-incremental | HIGH | ~100KB whole-subsystem replacement of mainline's rk3288 crypto + heavy crypto-API deltas. CPU crypto extensions (AES/SHA, batch2 =y) already cover the functional need — this is an offload optimization, not a capability gap. Defer to a dedicated session |
| NPU (rknpu) | LOW (open) | med | kernel driver ports, but NO open userspace regcmd runtime exists — the driver would register with nothing able to submit jobs openly. Not worth shipping without an open encoder (npu/PORT-PLAN.md) |
| pvtm | LOW | small | DVFS monitors; only if DVFS is pursued |
❌ 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).
