# Pull requests against this branch change the workflow itself; they
# build the current openipc-allwinner. Code changes reach it through
# workflow_call from the caller on openipc-allwinner, which passes the revision
# to build. Only workflow_dispatch can release or publish.

# The shape of build-hisilicon.yml:
# build (matrix, every SoC) -> qemu (prep) -> qemu_smoke (hard gate) ->
# release (own, `release` input) + publish (OpenIPC/firmware latest +
# openipc.org report, `publish` input).
# build.sh takes SoCs as arguments; the matrix calls it with one SoC per leg.

jobs:
# Resolve the openipc-allwinner revision this run builds from. The workflow
# lives on the openipc branch, so github.sha is the openipc commit, not
# the revision being built; release provenance must name the commit that
# build.sh actually compiled.

# QEMU smoke test -- boots each freshly-built image from flash through

# the eGON.BT0 SPL into SRAM; the SPL brings up the DDR and unpacks
