Just updated the Dreamplug to kernel 3.9-rc1, using the .config from 3.8-rc, and (re)checking that all the required hardware components (especially bluetooth) are selected, without any problems..

Just updated the Raspberry Pi from (hacked!)3.8.0 to 3.8.1, by applying the 3.8.0-1 patch at ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/patch-3.8.1.bz2 Note that this first incremental patch is in the ‘main’ kernel directory. Only the subsequent ones (3.8.1-2, etc..) will be in the /incr subdirectory.. The patch applied cleanly, and all seems to be working OK: Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow) Kernel … Continue reading →
I have – after some messy hacking – managed to get the Raspberry Pi updated to kernel 3.8.0.. The starting point was the 3.7.1 Pi code, at https://github.com/Olipro/linux-RPi. The kernel.org patch for 3.8.0 assumes the code base is 3.7.0, so I had to ‘revert’ the 3.7.1 patch. The ‘incremental’ patches at kernel.org start with the 3.7.1 – … Continue reading →
Just updated the Raspberry Pi to kernel 3.7.7 – incrementally.. See previous posts for details on how this is done..

Just updated the Raspberry Pi to kernel version 3.7.5, using the 3.7.1 tree created by Olipro: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=26912 I then applied the incremental patches from kernel.org to go from 3.7.1 to 3.7.2, to 3.7.3, to 3.7.4, to 3.7.5.. I ignored the warnings after the compile, as these have occurred with previous kernel versions, and seem to be harmless.. … Continue reading →

Continue reading →Just updated the Dreamplug kernel to 3.7, and – although I don’t use it – decided to see if the Marvell-supplied 8688_UAP (Access Point) patch still worked.. Not surprisingly, the patch worked, but the compilation failed: CC [M] drivers/net/wireless/libertas_uap/uap_main.o drivers/net/wireless/libertas_uap/uap_main.c: In function ‘uap_init_sw’: drivers/net/wireless/libertas_uap/uap_main.c:446:44: warning: passing argument 3 of ‘netlink_kernel_create’ makes pointer from integer without a cast … Continue reading →
After the success of the Raspberry Pi, I have now updated the Dreamplug to Fedora 18, using yum…. This time, the rpm –import… worked fine, and the whole process went very smoothly.. Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow) Kernel 3.7.0-rc5 on an armv5tel (ttyS0) Robert Gadsdon. December 11th, 2012.
