Tried the latest kernel.org 3.17 kernel with my Odroid U2, and managed to get it to boot successfully, but USB still doesn’t work, which is a show-stopper, as the Ethernet adapter is a USB-connected device.. Start with # make exynos_defconfig, and then select arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos4412-odroidu3.dtb when merging with zImage, etc… [ 0.000000] Booting Linux on physical CPU 0xa00 … Continue reading →
I had been frustrated by the apparent inability of the suppliers to provide anything other than an obsolete Ubuntu-centric 3.8+ kernel for the Odroid U2, and other kernels I had tested were somewhat ‘incomplete’… I finally managed to get a 3.17-r3 version from https://github.com/tobiasjakobi/linux-odroid/tree/odroid-3.17.y This now includes the necessary ‘bits’ for the U3, which is functionally identical … Continue reading →

After a lot of ‘hacking’, I managed to get the Odroid U3 to boot with Kernel 3.14-rc3, from http://git.prahal.homelinux.net/odroid.git/ , but there were persistent issues with USB, which refused to recognise any devices connected (apart from the USB memory stick (usb-storage) connection built-in to the kernel at compile time).

Thanks to invaluable information from Mace Moneta, I have now been able to find the location of the (recent) release of Pidora 20 — now, for some reason, known as ‘Pidora 2014‘.. For details and links, see the comments section at the bottom of my previous article: http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1048 I started the upgrade (from Pidora 19), which took … Continue reading →
Fedora 20 – KDE Desktop on ODROID U3 Found a suitable source tree for (old!) kernel 3.8.13.16: git clone -b odroid-3.8.y –single-branch https://github.com/hardkernel/linux – which compiled on the device itself with no problems – the old-fashioned way (# make zImage, etc..) and installed and ran without problems: Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug) Kernel 3.8.13.16 on an armv7l (ttySAC1) … Continue reading →

As my existing ARM systems are getting a bit ‘old’ – being based on armv5 (DreamPlug) or armv6 (Raspberry Pi) – neither of which is supported by the most recent Fedora release, I have been looking for an armv7-based system for further development and testing.. After some experiences with promising designs that have – sadly – failed … Continue reading →
