Android – New Year, New Fork?

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on December 28, 2016 by RGDecember 28, 2016

Now that Cyanogenmod has summarily shut down, there is a planned new forked version, at http://lineageos.org/ Remains to be seen whether this will flourish, and whether it will survive any potential legal shenanigans, but at least it shows one of the core benefits of Open-Source code..!

ARM64 – Odroid C2 – New MMC Driver, Ethernet / USB Still Broken..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on October 20, 2016 by RGOctober 20, 2016

After some of the code for the C2 has been removed from various git repositories, there is a new 4.9-rc1-based tree at https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/khilman/linux-amlogic.git/?h=v4.10/integ , which now includes the ‘new’ rewritten MMC driver. To select this, choose ‘Amlogic S905/GX* SD/MMC Host Controller support (MMC_MESON_GX)‘ in the kernel config.. …… Fedora 24 (Workstation Edition) Kernel 4.9.0-rc1-c2 on an aarch64 … Continue reading →

ARM – Another Source for Rootfs Images..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on April 26, 2016 by RGApril 26, 2016

If you need a particular rootfs for an ARM7 or ARM64 device, there is a source of these at http://libguestfs.org/download/builder/ As an example, for Fedora 23 aarch64, then download the http://libguestfs.org/download/builder/fedora-23-aarch64.xz file, and then expand it (I use ark..)   This will give you a file fedora-23-aarch64, and simply rename this to fedora-23-aarch64.img. As the Fedora aarch64 images … Continue reading →

Brief details of changes from -rc3 are here:  http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1604.2/00610.html The boot failed, and I then compiled/installed 4.6-rc3 to see if that would have been OK, and it was.. I then noticed something odd in the failed … Continue reading →

ARM – Kernel 4.4-rc3 – OK with Odroid U3 (and Fan..)

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on December 4, 2015 by RGDecember 4, 2015

Tested Kernel 4.4-rc3 with the Odroid U3, and – finally – the fan works correctly..    Kernels from 4.2 onward booted successfully, but the fan ran continuously…    And now I can add the U3 to the (small!) list of my ARM devices that work with the standard unpatched kernel.org kernel (the others are the DreamPlug (ARMv5) and the … Continue reading →

ARM – Odroid U3 OK With Latest U-Boot..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on September 25, 2015 by RGSeptember 25, 2015

Recently tried the latest standard release of u-boot from ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ , and it now works OK with the SDCard in the Odroid U3.    You still have to incorporate the ‘special’ secure-boot binaries and shell script from the hardkernel version ( in directory sd_fuse) from https://github.com/hardkernel/u-boot/tree/odroid-v2010.12 and change the reference to u-boot.bin to u-boot-dtb.bin in sd_fusing.sh.

ARM – CuBox – Back to 4.1, and Forward to 4.3-rc1..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on September 18, 2015 by RGSeptember 18, 2015

I encountered more ‘network missing’ issues with Kernel 4.2 on the CuBox-i4 Pro, so reverted to Kernel 4.1.6, and all was well, again..   I have since updated to Kernel 4.3-rc1 (from kernel.org), and everything – so far – seems to be working OK..
