Installed ZoneMinder ( https://zoneminder.com ) for some IP and WiFi cameras, and the first thing to remember is to not use the Fedora version! This is due to the lack of ffmpeg and vlc support in that version, which makes the software somewhat less than useful.. Fortunately, there is good Fedora support, with a fully-functional version – … 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 →

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 →

After some more testing, including trying (unsuccessfully) the HiKey version of Kernel 4.1-rc4 # git clone -b hikey-mainline-rebase –single-branch https://github.com/96boards/linux/ I was frustrated by the complete lack of kernel boot info on screen, after the proprietary bootloader had finished.. More research found that this bootloader was described as somewhat deficient in the ‘fit for purpose’ department, and … Continue reading →

I had another ARM64 system on order for some time, and – unexpectedly – it shipped a few days ago.. It is an 8-core ‘Hikey’ board, based on the same 96Boards outline as the DragonBoard 410c.. So far, I have it booting – with the Linaro/Hikey 3.18 kernel – and have put Fedora 22 on it.. Fedora … Continue reading →
