ARM64 – Odroid C2 – Working U-Boot..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on January 15, 2017 by RGJanuary 15, 2017

Thanks to Heiner Kallweit, there is now a functional version of U-Boot for the Odroid C2, at https://github.com/hkallweit/u-boot .. I have installed it on my C2 (eMMC) and it works fine..    Nice to have a functioning > saveenv command, at last..

ARM64 – Odroid C2 – Boots with Kernel 4.10-rc1 – Ethernet OK? – Not yet..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on December 26, 2016 by RGJanuary 15, 2017

After applying the aarch64 compile fix (see previous article) I was able to compile Kernel 4.10-rc1 on the Odroid C2, and it boots OK (headless..), and the Ethernet link stays up, but still needs the TX patch..   (updated, as the link did still hang – eventually..  RG).. ……….. meson8b-dwmac c9410000.ethernet eth0: Link is Up – 1Gbps/Full – … Continue reading →

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on November 18, 2016 by RGNovember 18, 2016

The ‘linux-next’ kernel branch has included the meson/gxbb mmc driver for some time, but the boot process hung on root disk access.     I tested with the latest (November 17) version, and this time, the boot process completed successfully: Fedora 25 (Workstation Edition) Kernel 4.9.0-rc5-next-20161117-c2 on an aarch64 (ttyAML0) The only patch I applied was the meson_ethernet_tx one … Continue reading →

ARM64 – Pi3 Still Very Unstable..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on June 21, 2016 by RGJune 21, 2016

I have tried the latest 4.7-next patched kernel, from https://github.com/anholt/linux/tree/bcm2837-64-next After some trials, I did manage to – just – get it to boot – after falling to an ’emergency console’, but the system is very unstable, with multiple recurring MMC errors.. …..

ARM64 – Pine64 – Not Exactly ‘Compact’..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on June 7, 2016 by RGJune 7, 2016

I recently obtained one of the newly-released (- to the ‘public’..) Pine64 ARM64 systems…    My first reaction, was that it is a bit on the large side..  The board is over twice the size of the Odroid C2.. As usual, the ‘standard’ U-Boot was a heavily-customised old version, that only mounted Android-format Kernel ‘blob’s, but a hacked … Continue reading →

Hardware – Replacing the System Disk..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on June 2, 2016 by RGJune 2, 2016

My ‘system disk’ (/dev/sda) started to show bad sectors, recently, and so I decided to replace it.    The disk was around 8 years old, and had been in almost-continuous use.. I have not had to do this for some considerable time, and I think the last time was in the late-90s, and using LILO!  (No convoluted grub2 … Continue reading →
