Thanks to Heiner Kallweit for info on two USB patches for the Odroid C2, and thanks to John Youn for the patches themselves.. They can be found at http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg151687.html and http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg151688.html . I have applied these to Kernel 4.10-rc4 (including … Continue reading
Just updated the Odroid C2 to Kernel 4.10-rc4, but the Ethernet hang problem still persists.. Applied the dts Ethernet TX patch (see http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1872 ) , and it works OK now.. There seems to be a bit of a backlog of … Continue reading
As Odroid C2 support by the ‘mainline’ kernel is – hopefully – nearing completion, I have put a sample of my Kernel config at http://pastebin.com/XWfMEWHx . The C2 is used for ‘headless’ operation, at present, and USB still does not … Continue reading
Kernel 4.10-rc2 has been released, and it has a very small number of changes from -rc1: http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1701.0/00069.html I suspect that the major reason for this release is to fix the embarrassing compile fail with ARM64/aarch64, and it does compile OK … Continue reading
There is now an ‘official’ fix for the 4.10-rc1 compile failure with ARM64/aarch64, from Al Viro, and the patch itself is available here: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git/commit/?h=arm64-fix&id=b4b8664d291ac1998e0f0bcdc96b6397f0fe68b3 I have applied this to kernel 4.10-rc1 on the Odroid C2, and the kernel compiles successfully.. … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading
Tried compiling Kernel 4.10-rc1 for aarch64, and got – literally – hundreds of errors: …… ./include/linux/sched.h:3299: Error: unknown mnemonic `return’ — `return test_ti_thread_flag(task_thread_info(tsk),flag)’ ./include/linux/sched.h:3300: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `}’ ./include/linux/sched.h:3302: Error: unknown mnemonic `static’ … Continue reading
After some of the recent ‘Ethernet fix’ patches have not worked with more recent linux-next kernels, I have found one that – at least at the moment – does fix the ‘hang’ problem – again.. The patch is applied to … Continue reading
Recent versions of the Linux net-next tree could not be tested on the C2, as the meson-gx mmc driver was missing, but now it has been added, and I tested the latest version (December 17) – but the Ethernet hang … Continue reading
