Hello, I'll like to build my own kernel, mostly to learn more about Linux on ARM. The device I have is RK3399 based (Nanopi M4v2). Can I use the mainline kernel or are some parches needed? Where can I get the correct DTS? Is there any guide on how to do this? I'm not unfamiliar on how to build a custom kernel, but that was on x86/x64. ARM is a very different animal.

I'm using the latest Ubuntu-based Armbian stable for Nanopi M4v2. Thanks for the answer, I'll try to build the cores from source. From what I understand, the current kernel does have 3D HW acceleration for Mali-T860, right?

Hello, I installed Retroarch from the repos, tried to install a "core" from the Retroarch updater but no cores were available. I searched about that if the installed version is too old no cores will be available, so I added the Retroarch ppa and installed the newest version, but got the same problem. Does Retroarch work under Armbian? Do I need to manually install "core" binaries? If so, where can I get them? Thanks.

Hello, I got the itch to experiment with Linux on ARM. I tried to get an Odroid N2+ bit seems to be unavailable everywhere. The best thing I could get at a reasonable cost was a Nanopi M4v2, it'll arrive in about 3 weeks. While I wait I remembered that I have an Ouya laying around and I asked myself: Is it possible to install linux on an Ouya? Searching the internet there are very old guides from 2013 to install ubuntu, had the situation improved? Anyone here tried?
