ARM64 – Kernel 4.10-rc4 on Odroid C2 – Ethernet Still Needs DTS Patch..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on by

Just updated the Odroid C2 to Kernel 4.10-rc4, but the Ethernet hang problem still persists..   Applied the dts Ethernet TX patch (see https://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1872 ) , and it works OK now.. There seems to be a bit of a backlog of Meson/GXBB patches, and I read that the Ethernet TX fix was supposed to be merged with -rc4, … Continue reading →

Kernel – 4.10-rc2 Out – OK With aarch64, now..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on by

Kernel 4.10-rc2 has been released, and it has a very small number of changes from -rc1:  http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1701.0/00069.html I suspect that the major reason for this release is to fix the embarrassing compile fail with ARM64/aarch64, and it does compile OK now (tested on the Odroid C2)..

ARM64 – Odroid C2 – Latest Ethernet Patch..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on by

After some of the recent ‘Ethernet fix’ patches have not worked with more recent linux-next kernels, I have found one that – at least at the moment – does fix the ‘hang’ problem – again.. The patch is applied to meson-gxbb-odroidc2.dts, and can be found here:  http://archive.arm.linux.org.uk/lurker/message/20161221.113134.3ac4d1e6.en.html I did have to revert this kasir_offset patch (…-R) to … Continue reading →

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on by

The old meson Ethernet fix/patch/hack no longer applies cleanly to the latest (December 1) linux-next, but – fortunately – there is a ‘better’ patch available for the meson8b-dwmac driver itself.. Details can be found in this thread:  http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-amlogic/2016-November/001675.html I have applied these patches to the December 1 linux-next tree, on the Odroid C2, and the Ethernet link … Continue reading →
