AerithForge - New configuration for teres

[kreyren]

I forked armbian into a new project called AerithForge as I am too limited by management on Armbian to provide teres with the care and maintanance it needs to work without issues.

The support has been reworked in:
* https://github.com/AerithForge/AerithForge/pull/58

So give it a try and if you encounter any issues then let me know, i will still try to maintain the armbian version, but I can't really provide stuff like an optimized kernel, painlessly rework the codebase, make disk encryption to work, etc.. There so the version there should be considered as obsolete.

Hi Kreyren,

I use debian (https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Olimex/Teres-I) on my Teres. For me, hdmi out and sound on speakers dont work with "DebianOn".
I am looking forward to a working config for hdmi output (external display) as well as sound over internal speakers.

Later this year some updates were done to the page i mentioned above stating that "Switch to External Screen" is OK (thumb up?) and in the section for Audio there are some instructions that might indicate that it would work.

The page history shows that those informations were added by KREYREN. Also the installation option with AerithForge was newly added.

I appreciate your involvement with AerithForge and NixOS for Teres.
Where can I find a working configuration/distribution for these two features? Could you provide me some hints how can i build such a system?

Thanks and Regards

Sorry for delay i've been struggling with covid and lung infection @_@

Instructions in https://github.com/AerithForge/AerithForge/pull/58#issue-1906922696 so basically fork the repo and invoke

> $ ./compile.sh build BOARD=olimex-teres-a64 BRANCH=edge BUILD_DESKTOP=yes BUILD_MINIMAL=no DESKTOP_APPGROUPS_SELECTED= DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT=gnome DESKTOP_ENVIRONMENT_CONFIG_NAME=config_base EXPERT=yes KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no RELEASE=bookworm

Optionally try the images in https://www.armbian.com/olimex-teres-a64 They should work the same now and get you a newer kernel (i've made AerithForge bcs armbian was slow af with updates which are now merged and to fix programming issues as there were mitigation patches to prevent situation like https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/8198 from happening again)

Also teres is fully mainlined so the debian's universal image for aarch64 should work without issues as well same as any other distro with the exception of NixOS which should work next week (https://www.olimex.com/forum/index.php?topic=9179.0)

Let me know if you have issues i look into them and try to fix them and feel free to ask any relevant questions happy to answer them!
