ARM – Next CHIP – Waiting for Hynix NAND Support..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on July 15, 2016 by RGJuly 15, 2016

Tested some of the kernel versions possible (or not..) for the Next CHIP ARMv7, with mixed results..     I added an Ethernet/USB device (ax88179-based) on the USB hub, and the network connection works fine.. Linux-Next does not yet have the drivers for the Hynix NAND in the CHIP, although – with the rootfs separate on a USB stick … Continue reading →

ARM – Next CHIP ARMv7 – First Impressions..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on July 12, 2016 by RGJuly 12, 2016

After pre-ordering one many months ago, I finally got my Next CHIP ARMv7 system in the post.. It certainly is fairly small, but seems well-constructed..     Details are at http://docs.getchip.com/chip.html#chip-hardware After connecting the UART/USB cable, as normal, the system booted into a cut-down version of Debian..   There is no hdmi, or sdcard connector, or Ethernet, but the wi-fi … Continue reading →

ARM – Rock2 – Kernel 4.5-rc7 Boot Success

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on March 13, 2016 by RGMarch 13, 2016

After a lot of testing, and some more confusion, I have managed to get the Rock2 to boot using the latest (2016.03-rc3) version of U-Boot, and the latest kernel (4.5-rc7) As previously, there was a lot of conflicting information……. I started by booting into the semi-proprietary 3.10-based kernel on the SDcard, and then erasing the eMMC (dd … Continue reading →

ARM – Radxa Rock2 – Powerful, but Confused..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on February 24, 2016 by RGFebruary 24, 2016

Recently took delivery of a Radxa Rock2 ARMv7 system, based on the RX3288 Cortex A17 chipset.. The system comes with a version of Android installed on the onboard eMMC, but I managed – after a bit of work – to install Fedora 23 on an SDcard and get it to boot onto that..      At this point, I … Continue reading →

ARM – Kernel 4.4-rc4 on the BananaPro..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on December 14, 2015 by RGDecember 14, 2015

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 →

ARM – Kernel 4.4-rc3 – OK with Odroid U3 (and Fan..)

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on December 4, 2015 by RGDecember 4, 2015

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 →
