Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on November 18, 2016 by RGNovember 18, 2016

The ‘linux-next’ kernel branch has included the meson/gxbb mmc driver for some time, but the boot process hung on root disk access.     I tested with the latest (November 17) version, and this time, the boot process completed successfully: Fedora 25 (Workstation Edition) Kernel 4.9.0-rc5-next-20161117-c2 on an aarch64 (ttyAML0) The only patch I applied was the meson_ethernet_tx one … Continue reading →

ARM64 – Odroid C2 – Ethernet Fix, at Last..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on November 10, 2016 by RGNovember 10, 2016
