# Upstream Linux 6.1 LTS for CoolPi RK3588 devices
## Description
This kernel is based on the **rk-6.1-rkr5** branch of the **Armbian Rockchip Linux 6.1 LTS** kernel with patches sourced from the **linux-6.1-stan-rkr3.1** branch of the **CoolPi Linux 6.1 LTS** kernel to support **CoolPi** devices, including those that were recently dropped by the CoolPi vendor kernel (commit 4c7deae).

Additional patches for the **Armbian** and **CoolPi** kernels are applied as they are released; modified as needed for functionality.  Patch commit status can be verified by either running the **build-kernel.sh** script or by referring to the files containing the patch commit hashes that the build script reads from: **armbian-rk-6.1-rkr5-patch-release** and **coolpi-linux-6.1-stan-rkr3.1-patch-release**.

This kernel aims to always be on the latest **Linux 6.1 LTS upstream release**.

## Kernel Testing Information
The device used to test this kernel is a CoolPi CM5 NoteBook v20, also known as the CoolPi CM5 GenBook.
