ARM – Odroid U3 Kernel Compilation..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on by

This is a workflow for compilation of a kernel + device tree for the Odroid U3.   There are other ways of doing this, but this one works, for me.. Compilation works fine on the device itself, so no need for cross-compilations.. This is for a device with root filesystem and boot partition on one SDcard.. Source from: … Continue reading →

ARM – Odroid U3 to 3.19-rc7 – Fan ‘Fixed’?

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on by

Updated the Odroid U3 to Kernel 3.19-rc7, from https://github.com/tobiasjakobi/linux-odroid/tree/odroid-3.19.y Had to ‘refresh’ the config, by # make exynos4412_odroid_defconfig, and then (re)enable selinux etc… One feature is that the CPU fan no longer runs constantly, but I need to do more tests, to see if it is now capable of running at all..    The temperature is OK, at … Continue reading →

ARM – New Raspberry Pi 2 – ARMv7 at Last..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on by

For those who have a new Raspberry Pi 2 on order – as I have – the kernel source is now available, at https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-3.18.y-rebase. To get the correct config, start with # make bcm2709_defconfig For me, one of the additional benefits is that it is ARMv7, which should support the standard up-to-date Fedora 21 distro, instead of … Continue reading →
