As my existing ARM systems are getting a bit ‘old’ – being based on armv5 (DreamPlug) or armv6 (Raspberry Pi) – neither of which is supported by the most recent Fedora release, I have been looking for an armv7-based system for further development and testing..<\/p>\n

After some experiences with promising designs that have – sadly – failed to materialise, I decided on the ODROID U3<\/strong>, which is a quad-core armv7 system.

I ordered one – with usb\/uart connection and fan-assisted heatsink – recently, and managed to get it up and running within a couple of hours with Fedora 19,<\/strong><\/em> using info from the Technoids<\/strong><\/em> site http:\/\/www.technoids.com\/index.php\/odroid-u2-fedora-install\/<\/a><\/p>\n

\"ODROID<\/a>

ODROID U3, with USB\/UART Connection<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

Next steps…\u00a0\u00a0 Upgrade to Fedora 20, and investigate compiling a ‘newer’ kernel (currently running 3.8.13.4).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Kernel source is available from GitHub https:\/\/github.com\/hardkernel\/linux\/tree\/odroid-3.12.y<\/a>, but the newer<\/span> kernels are – apparently – still a work-in-progress for U2\/U3 support..<\/p>\n

Fedora release 19 (Schrodinger\u2019s Cat)<\/strong>\r\nKernel 3.8.13.4 on an armv7l (ttySAC1)<\/strong>\r\n...................<\/strong>\r\n$ uname -a<\/strong>\r\nLinux rgodroid 3.8.13.4 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jul 7 00:41:00 BRT 2013 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU\/Linux<\/strong><\/pre>\n
The system is sufficiently powerful that for the first time, kernel compilation on the device itself is a practical possibility, rather than cross-compilation…<\/p>\n
