only the kernel... do you recommend full image?
Yes ... in case you don't know exactly what you are doing. Read Zador's post again - he wrote you what to do instead.
-
Sources are fixed and I don't mind if we push and update even it's not that critical.
I did patch / compile test only on sunxi-next so far.
-
This is quite standard device, it's enabled in both kernel configs:
https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/master/config/kernel/linux-sun8i-dev.config#L4251
https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/master/config/kernel/linux-sun8i-default.config#L3105
-
Leave this as is
FORCE_CHECKOUT="yes" # ignore manual changes to source
and use
CREATE_PATCHES="yes"
Apply change to source when asked and pickup patch which will be created userpatches/patch ... this patch should be moved to appropriate dir:
userpatches/kernel/udoo-next
or move it to
lib/patch/kernel/udoo-next
and create PR to our repository since it might be useful for others too.
Option which you used is working properly only on source where no patches are initially involved ... we have to change / note this.

Whats wrong? On the emmc is an old system
Nothing is wrong.
There are no (stable) drivers for "eMMC" (NAND) in a kernel that you are trying to use. NAND on Cubietruck is slower and more prone to crash than a modern SD card.
-
Can you provide kernel log - set console to ttyS0 and enlarge verbosity and provide content of boot.cmd
From which version you made an upgrade. What was initial image build?
-
Driver is present in the source (cubox-i NEXT or DEV). Check dependencies.
-
Find anything?
Yes. You must compile kernel by using our tools or include our kernel patches and it will work. We also fixed bugs and prepare kernel packages for our boot scenario. Just in this case everything works simply by installing the package. If not ... you need to set and adjust paths and boot scripts manually.
-
I've reactivate my BPro after a long time...
What do you mean with "it could be broken"? Hardware? Kernel? DTS?
That SPDIF support in kernel was somehow broken, stopped working. I am trying to find out if you might have it working in v4.9.10 (or older) ... and it stopped working on upgrade to version released few days ago. In such case last known good kernel is a starting point.
-
Uuuups, sorry, my mistake. I'm using 4.9.11, sorry. It's pure mainline, without any patches or so.
I've compiled spdif, i2s, can, ... as modules.
But you had it running on mainline kernel before, or is this the first try? I mean, it could be broken.
-
Next test was done with mainline kernel 4.10.0 and performance CPU governor, while the one before was done on 4.4.50 with powersave.

- fixed eMMC install,- added development kernel (4.10.x) with MALI driver (untested)
Onboard 16GB eMMC media performances - not the top performer but still very decent.

Updated. It should be populated with data from all forums now.
-
You have wrong u-boot / boot script combination and you are most likely using not supported developing kernel ?
... it's not possible to activate cpu's from user space. -
MiQi added to Armbian. What I did:
- added kernel 4.4.50 ... took from https://github.com/mqmaker/linux-rockchip(4.4.16) ... and patch all the way up to 4.4.50.
- added stock MiQi uboot. I tried too merge it with mainline but figured out soon that it's not going to be easy and abandoned that
- added boot scripts with environment file
- packaged kernel, u-boot, ...
- updated kernel config to meet Docker requirements
- added proper serial console
- tested CLI and desktop build. Both runs smoothly.
Known bugs: random MAC, eMMC install script and boot script need some adjustments
Unknown: mali, video accleration librarires, ... etc. most likely those should go: https://github.com/mqmaker/rk-rootfs-build

AFAIK on one revision of this board WiFi part is broken ... to (me) unknown degree.
-
When do I have to install which Kernel? (for cubietruck Allwinner A20 is clear)
Firmware?
Board support packages
Latest mainline for all Allwinner devices
U-boots
This page is more like a table with all kernels that we build. You don't need to install anything since images comes with all those packages ... but in case you do some damage or in your case, you can fix the system by installing a proper one. Next, some boards have more kernels and you can switch between them. So this table has naming and if you go for "DEV" ... you need usually to change to DEV u-boot to ... so it's better to change all packages if you want to do so. In any case, all this is recommended for experienced users who know how to fix things if something goes wrong.
-
It's O.K. now ... you could further uninstall those packages,
linux-image-sunxi linux-image-3.4.107-cubietruck linux-jessie-root-next-cubietruck
but it's also harmless if you just leave as is.
-
Than proceed to plan B, which is less user friendly but it must work.
Comment out
# CONFIG_VIDEO_VGA=y
and recompile.
-
The problem that I am running into is the software that I am trying to compile on the OPI requires "Thumb-1 hard-float VFP ABI" and that is not implemented, or at least that's what gcc is telling me.
And you think this problem will be solved by switching to Debian version?
-
There is no official support from Openwrt folks for this board, that's why. It looks like they only support old Allwinner chips like A10 and A20.
-
You are upgrading from very old image and we change some package names in between. You will need to uninstall some and install new one. Check this page for relevant info:
-
Igor,
I really do thank you for the information on how to get to the nightly build, but that is for ubuntu I need it for Debian. Is there a way to convert it over to Debian?
No, but you can build it on your own from sources. That's why provide and support build tools - for those who need something else than our prebuilds.
-
Set some fixed resolution, monitor to hdmi, disabled hdp, disabled edid ... save that into u-boot environment, otherwise it wont work. Plan B: recompile u-boot with disabled VGA support and it should also be fine.
Kernel update procedure has been changed
