ARM – Odroid U3 to 3.14-rc3, but USB Fail..
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).
Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug) Kernel 3.14.0-rc3 on an armv7l (ttySAC1) ........... $ uname -a Linux rgodroid 3.14.0-rc3 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb 27 18:34:06 GMT 2014 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux
So.. Back to the Hardkernel version of Kernel 3.8.13.18 for the time being, and I have managed to get rid of the ubuntu/debian-proprietary bits from the kernel tree, and re-edit the Makefile to remove all references.. I have had some odd issues with USB connections with this version, but at least the USB keyboard and mouse work OK!

Robert, regarding Hardkernel version of Kernel 3.8.13.18 and this image ;

Is there a way to patch to support emmc boot, which it does not currently support ?
Thankyou

I don’t have an emmc board on my Odroid U3, and don’t have any experience with this particular boot image, but I have been running Fedora (from one of the standard Fedora images) on mine – with Micro-SD boot – for some time.. I recompiled the stock Hardkernel 3.8.13.xx kernel from source, after stripping out all the Ubuntu-proprietary bits (and removing ubuntu references in the Makefile and a couple of Kconfig files as well)..
There would seem to be some more info on this here: https://www.technoids.com/index.php/odroid-u2-fedora-install/ but you have to register to see the details.. I assume you have already searched through the odroid forum..

Robert, if you have a FC20 U3 image with possible kernel emmc support, could you provide the link please ?

I don’t have any custom images, but when I first got my Odroid, I just installed a standard FC20 image, and then copied the zImage kernel, boot/uboot, and lib/modules files across from a Hardkernel 3.8.13.xx (Ubuntu) image, and it worked fine.
