Thanks to Heiner Kallweit for info on two USB patches for the Odroid C2, and thanks to John Youn for the patches themselves.. They can be found at http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg151687.html and http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg151688.html .

Just updated the Odroid C2 to Kernel 4.10-rc4, but the Ethernet hang problem still persists.. Applied the dts Ethernet TX patch (see http://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 →
As Odroid C2 support by the ‘mainline’ kernel is – hopefully – nearing completion, I have put a sample of my Kernel config at http://pastebin.com/XWfMEWHx . The C2 is used for ‘headless’ operation, at present, and USB still does not work.. The kernel is 4.10-rc3, with the ‘Ethernet-TX’ dts patch applied.. (see http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1872 ).
