ARM – Original Hikey Updated and Fixed – with Gotchas..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on September 9, 2019 by RGSeptember 9, 2019

After successfully updating and re-configuring the Odroid C2 to use Fedora uefi/grub2 to boot, I decided to try to do the same to the even-older Hikey SOC. This already booted using fastboot with an older version of grub, with manual configuration, but I wanted to use the standard (Fedora) boot process. I had read that there was … Continue reading →

ARM64 – Hikey Success, with Linux-Next..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on June 29, 2016 by RGJune 29, 2016

After some time, I decided to test the latest ‘Linux-Next’ with the 96Boards HiSilicon Hikey, and – this time – it booted successfully (headless), with networking.. Fedora 24 (Twenty Four) Kernel 4.7.0-rc5-next-20160628 on an aarch64 (ttyAMA0) ………………….. # uname -a Linux rghikey 4.7.0-rc5-next-20160628 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jun 28 22:34:10 EDT 2016 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux Still … Continue reading →

ARM64 – HiKey – Change to UEFI Boot..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on July 22, 2015 by RGJuly 22, 2015

After some more testing, including trying (unsuccessfully) the HiKey version of Kernel 4.1-rc4 # git clone -b hikey-mainline-rebase –single-branch https://github.com/96boards/linux/   I was frustrated by the complete lack of kernel boot info on screen, after the proprietary bootloader had finished.. More research found that this bootloader was described as somewhat deficient in the ‘fit for purpose’ department, and … Continue reading →

ARM64 – HiKey With Proper UART Connection..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on July 12, 2015 by RGJuly 12, 2015

One of the most annoying missing features of the HiKey ARM54 board is the lack of a proper UART connection, to enable the same degree of boot information as other SoC systems..     There is a 4-pin/hole connection point, but no actual connector…    So, I had to get out the (mini) soldering iron, and magnifying goggles, and use … Continue reading →

ARM64 – And Now… 8 Cores!

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on July 9, 2015 by RGJuly 9, 2015

I had another ARM64 system on order for some time, and – unexpectedly – it shipped a few days ago.. It is an 8-core ‘Hikey’ board, based on the same 96Boards outline as the DragonBoard 410c.. So far, I have it booting – with the Linaro/Hikey 3.18 kernel – and have put Fedora 22 on it.. Fedora … Continue reading →
