Title: Image with Crust for A64
Post by: zikzak on August 11, 2020, 04:06:27 PM
Hello,

Do you know if an image with Crust is available (or planned) for the A64 OLinuxino board?
https://github.com/crust-firmware/crust

It seems to provide nice benefits when it comes to power consumption.

Olimex has no information about such plans at the moment. The only images we currently work on are the Olimage images as announced here: https://olimex.wordpress.com/2020/04/21/olimage-mainline-linux-images-building-script-for-all-of-our-olinuxino-and-som-boards/

I saw this article already but building an image with the new firmware is out of my reach. It is well documented though.
So I hope somebody will be able to produce a new image as the Crust firmware seems to be quite efficient on the Pinephone (also using an A64).

The "Teres" could obviously get a good benefit of this firmware.

As it relies on the AR100 and a closed-blob it looks unlikely.

@JohnS: Which blob? Wasn't the part for the AR100 already merged upstream into mainline of arm-trusted-firmware?
