ARM64 – Dragonboard 410c – Now with U-Boot..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on November 10, 2015 by RGNovember 12, 2015

One of the shortcomings of the DragonBoard 410c was that it relied on the Android-phone-centric fastboot for any Kernel updates, but now there is a version of U-Boot available, thanks to Mateusz Kulikowski..

Thanks to Vincent Cojot, on the sgros.blogspot.com blog, there is a slightly convoluted workaround, which basically involves replacing the VMware versions … Continue reading →
