ARM – Original Hikey Updated and Fixed – with Gotchas..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on September 9, 2019 by RGSeptember 9, 2019

After successfully updating and re-configuring the Odroid C2 to use Fedora uefi/grub2 to boot, I decided to try to do the same to the even-older Hikey SOC. This already booted using fastboot with an older version of grub, with manual configuration, but I wanted to use the standard (Fedora) boot process. I had read that there was … Continue reading →

Intel – Fix for Atom MMC/GPT warning..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on September 15, 2017 by RGSeptember 15, 2017

I had been getting a warning on boot with recent kernels on my Intel Atom-based UP system, and found a workaround..    The error flagged is – apparently – harmless, and is due to systemd not being able to recognise some mmc disk partitions at that stage of the boot process.. …… [ 5.124250] systemd-gpt-auto-generator[416]: Failed to dissect: … Continue reading →

X86_64 – Up Board – New Pi-Sized System, with Intel Atom SoC..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on August 16, 2016 by RGNovember 10, 2016

Just taken delivery of the Up Board – an Intel Atom powered SoC system, with the same form factor as a Pi.. It was quite a novelty to be able to plug a Fedora 24 Live USB stick in, and install directly to the device..      I booted the Live system first, and then used the ‘install to … Continue reading →

ARM64 – Pine64 – Not Exactly ‘Compact’..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on June 7, 2016 by RGJune 7, 2016

I recently obtained one of the newly-released (- to the ‘public’..) Pine64 ARM64 systems…    My first reaction, was that it is a bit on the large side..  The board is over twice the size of the Odroid C2.. As usual, the ‘standard’ U-Boot was a heavily-customised old version, that only mounted Android-format Kernel ‘blob’s, but a hacked … Continue reading →
