dimi3 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Hello.. What kernel version is used in armbian? Hardkernel latest release is 3.14.80 .. armbian uses 3.14.74. ( i suppose the versioning is the same only older kernel is used on armbian). Is it possible to add harkernel repo and upgrade the kernel without braking anything? Thank you, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 We use the same kernel but few patches and our config. We will put update soon ... Wrote on mobile phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gahabana Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 hi Igor, fantastic job !!! I've managed to get Roon Endpoint nicely and smoothly running on Odroid-C2 ONLY because you built distro that can do it (Xenial Ubuntu server).... all it took is to install armhf libraries for 32bit code from Roon to run on it ! Out of curiousity i tried to build the image myself. All went well ... version i got is NEWER then the one you had share (Armbian_5.17_Odroidc2_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.79 rather then rather then the one that can be downloaded which is Armbian_5.14_Odroidc2_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.79). Worked ok in limited testing ... on both i had to do 'dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf' as it was had my external ISP (or google one) as DNS server so couldnt recognise machines on my LAN without that. However, when i do apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade it wants to install 'newer' kernel linux-image-odroidc2 and headers though they are older (i have kernel 79 vs 74 in repository) ... if i accept upgrade, it 'bricks' the machine -doesnt boot anymore. I am sure that will be 'fixed' when you release update image but it would be great if there was a way to tell to apt-get to not upgrade kernel until version number is larger then the one currently installed. Just to be on a safe side (cause i would miss future upcoming updates) i reverted to 'stock' build - 5.14 version and am very happy !!! What are your thoughts ? thank you !

pchott Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 HI Igor!!! great job with supporting so many boards to debian!!!! I am mounting NFS share to armbian on Ondroid C2 and I am playing with possibility to do some NFS caching. I was trying with "cachefilesd" but to my bad luck "CONFIG_CACHEFILES" is not set. Would it make sense to add it as module? (Asking more for debate as request) Cheers, Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Asking more for debate as request) Added, will be available as a module in the next release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
