Pi to 3.12.2..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on November 30, 2013 by RGNovember 30, 2013

Just updated the Raspberry Pi to Kernel 3.12.2, using the latest version  from GitHub: # git clone -b rpi-3.12.y –single-branch https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux The system boots (into Pidora 19) and audit_syscall still causes a ‘tombstone’ just after the command prompt shows up, but apart from this the system seems to be running OK.. Pidora release 19 (Raspberry Pi Fedora … Continue reading →

NVIDIA – Run-Time Fix for 3.13..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on November 29, 2013 by RGNovember 29, 2013

Although the latest NVIDIA drivers compile OK on kernel 3.13-rc1, they do not load/run correctly, and may only give low-res output… The same problem exists with the newest version just released – 319.76.. nvidia: Unknown symbol acpi_os_wait_events_complete (err 0) There is a fix available, in this thread from DevZone: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/644906/331-20-on-3-13-rc1-kernel/ – but note the logic correction mentioned … Continue reading →

NVIDIA: The Future is (Almost) Here..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on November 18, 2013 by RGNovember 18, 2013

There has been some speculation about the ‘Unified Memory’ module found in the latest drivers, but details are somewhat sparse.. From the product Release Highlights: ……….. ”Added nvidia-uvm.ko, the NVIDIA Unified Memory kernel module, to the NVIDIA Linux driver package. This kernel module provides support for the new Unified Memory feature in an upcoming CUDA release.” More … Continue reading →

Howto: Cross-Compiling for ARM – One Method..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on November 16, 2013 by RGNovember 16, 2013

I originally wrote an article on cross-compiling for ARM systems, some time ago – before I got my first Raspberry Pi – and this is a more up-to-date version. This is how I cross-compile ARM kernels, on x86_64.  There are – of course – other ways of doing this, but this works, for me.. The following info … Continue reading →

Pidora – 19 Alpha – Revived?

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on November 11, 2013 by RGNovember 11, 2013

Thanks to a comment from Mace Moneta, I learned that there is an ‘alpha release’ of Pidora 19 now available: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/arm/2013-November/007021.html It was a little odd that no mention of this could be found on the Pidora website or Wiki, but hopefully these will be updated in due course.. Pidora release 19 (Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix) Kernel … Continue reading →
