ARM – Pi2 to U-Boot..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on by

I decided to try U-Boot on the Raspberry Pi 2, and the process has been fairly well documented in several places.. I used the latest U-Boot, with ‘patch’ info from here, as I needed Device Tree support:  https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=108217. Actual ‘installation’ is simple, as I just copied the u-boot binary to the boot directory on the SD Card, … Continue reading →

NVIDIA – Possible Kernel 3.14 Patch..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on by

There is an article on DevZone that includes a possible Kernel 3.14 patch, from s_molgaard, for driver 331.38:  https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/683534/linux/331-38-on-3-14-rc1-kernel/ The patch format is – apparently – for kernel boot-time patching using dkms, which I don’t use..   So..  I just manually applied the changes shown for nv-linux.h to the Kernel 3.13 patch mentioned in my previous article http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1032, … Continue reading →
