Features merged into 6.12 include the clock/reset controller (CRU), power domain handling, eMMC/SD/SDIO storage, network support, I2C, SPI, analog inputs, watchdog, pin multiplexing, and GPU support. UART device tree bindings and GPIO support missed the 6.12 cutoff and will arrive in 6.13, along with the full device tree for the RK3576 and ArmSom Sige5 board. Remaining work in progress includes OTP memory, USB, PCIe, and HDMI support. The upstreaming process was notably faster than previous Rockchip generations due to shared components with the RK3588. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

Initial support for the Rockchip RK3576 landed in Linux kernel 6.12 LTS. Features included are the clock/reset controller, power domain handling, eMMC/SD/SDIO storage, network, I2C, SPI, analog inputs, watchdog, pin multiplexing, and GPU support. UART device tree bindings and GPIO support missed 6.12 and are scheduled for 6.13, along with the full device tree for the RK3576 and ArmSom Sige5. _Developers tracking Rockchip SoC kernel enablement follow upstream milestones like this on daily.dev._ ### What RK3576 features are still missing from mainline Linux and when will they land? As of the 6.12 LTS release, UART device tree bindings and GPIO support are deferred to kernel 6.13, along with the full device tree for the RK3576 and ArmSom Sige5. OTP memory, USB, PCIe, and HDMI support are work-in-progress and expected to land soon after. The current status is tracked in the RK3576 Kernel Status Matrix on Collabora's GitLab. _Engineers bringing up new SoC hardware can track kernel enablement progress for the RK3576 on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Same-day upstream Linux support for Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 mobile platform](https://daily.dev/posts/same-day-upstream-linux-support-for-snapdragon-8-elite-gen-5-mobile-platform-n15n6x3tw) · Hacker News · 2 upvotes · 1 comments - [Decoding with Rockchip at Kernel Recipes 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/decoding-with-rockchip-at-kernel-recipes-2026-gisa2vyfl) · Collabora Blog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Forlinx launches Rockchip RK3572 system-on-module \(SoM\) and development board with Linux 6.12 BSP](https://daily.dev/posts/forlinx-launches-rockchip-rk3572-system-on-module-som-and-development-board-with-linux-6-12-bsp-gqhrhow6s) · CNX Software · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [More SpacemiT K3 & K1 Support Landing In Upstream Linux 7.2](https://daily.dev/posts/more-spacemit-k3-k1-support-landing-in-upstream-linux-7-2-emxmtuoh3) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Reverse-engineering brings RK3576 NPU support to open-source Rocket driver for mainline Linux](https://daily.dev/posts/reverse-engineering-brings-rk3576-npu-support-to-open-source-rocket-driver-for-mainline-linux-t083hlhhd) · CNX Software · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux), [#embedded](https://daily.dev/tags/embedded), [#arm](https://daily.dev/tags/arm) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/initial-upstream-support-for-the-rockchip-rk3576-ozgpm9edg) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Initial upstream support for the Rockchip RK3576","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/initial-upstream-support-for-the-rockchip-rk3576-ozgpm9edg","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/initial-upstream-support-for-the-rockchip-rk3576-ozgpm9edg"},"datePublished":"2026-08-11T08:54:39.967Z","dateModified":"2026-08-11T09:39:37.377Z","description":"Initial upstream Linux kernel support for Rockchip's RK3576 SoC has landed in the 6.12 LTS kernel, driven by Collabora engineer Detlev Casanova with hardware...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/0993c9bcfe2cd6a560e8406d39288f73?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/0993c9bcfe2cd6a560e8406d39288f73?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Collabora Blog","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Collabora Blog","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--ZGZ0FjqS--/f_auto,q_auto/v1786438306/logos/collabora?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/collabora"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/initial-upstream-support-for-the-rockchip-rk3576-ozgpm9edg","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"linux,embedded,arm","timeRequired":"PT3M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Collabora Blog","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/collabora"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Initial upstream support for the Rockchip RK3576"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/initial-upstream-support-for-the-rockchip-rk3576-ozgpm9edg#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What Linux kernel version includes initial support for the Rockchip RK3576 SoC?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Initial support for the Rockchip RK3576 landed in Linux kernel 6.12 LTS.
