Just got a ‘BananaPro‘ ARMv7 board, and updated it to Kernel 4.4-rc4 (from kernel.org) and Fedora 23. More details are here: http://linux-sunxi.org/LeMaker_Banana_Pro I compiled U-Boot from the latest (2015.10) released version, from ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ : # cd u-boot # make Bananapro_defconfig # make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnu- (or whatever cross-compiler you are using) Then as root, copy to the SDCard … Continue reading →
Tested Kernel 4.4-rc3 with the Odroid U3, and – finally – the fan works correctly.. Kernels from 4.2 onward booted successfully, but the fan ran continuously… And now I can add the U3 to the (small!) list of my ARM devices that work with the standard unpatched kernel.org kernel (the others are the DreamPlug (ARMv5) and the … Continue reading →
Updated the DragonBoard 410c to Kernel 4.2.4: # git clone https://git.linaro.org/landing-teams/working/qualcomm/kernel.git -b release/qcomlt-4.2 and this version boot/runs OK.. I am running these systems ‘headless’, so have not been able to test monitor/display capabilities..

One of the shortcomings of the DragonBoard 410c was that it relied on the Android-phone-centric fastboot for any Kernel updates, but now there is a version of U-Boot available, thanks to Mateusz Kulikowski.. This is very much a work-in-progress, but I thought I would give it a try… I started with the version at https://github.com/hallor/u-boot/tree/dragonboard-2015.11.01, and made … Continue reading →
Recently tried the latest standard release of u-boot from ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ , and it now works OK with the SDCard in the Odroid U3. You still have to incorporate the ‘special’ secure-boot binaries and shell script from the hardkernel version ( in directory sd_fuse) from https://github.com/hardkernel/u-boot/tree/odroid-v2010.12 and change the reference to u-boot.bin to u-boot-dtb.bin in sd_fusing.sh. U-Boot 2015.10-rc3 … Continue reading →

I encountered more ‘network missing’ issues with Kernel 4.2 on the CuBox-i4 Pro, so reverted to Kernel 4.1.6, and all was well, again.. I have since updated to Kernel 4.3-rc1 (from kernel.org), and everything – so far – seems to be working OK.. Fedora release 22 (Twenty Two) Kernel 4.3.0-rc1 on an armv7l (ttymxc0) …………………… ]# uname … Continue reading →
