    Yesterday was about linus don't understand that some people might felt offended by his communications style. Today Coraline Ada's blog post about her year at github.

    It's somehow interesting... IMO they face both the same problem. Their communication style isn't  fully compatible with the community they are in..

    For me this is somehow ironic.  Both stand hard for their position which might not be a mainstream position which brings them quite often in trouble and they have to defend them-self.  IMO, being 'inclusive' means that you accept both behaviors as long as they don't cross some lines of common sense. We've to accept that not everyone has the same opinions on several topics and what people assume as 'normal behavior' . Both, Linus and Coraline aren't fully what I would call average but in an inclusive environment both should find their place and felt somehow welcomed as long as they accept that maybe not everyone shares their opinion on a *random topic*.  Cause actually, some of the features she and her team developed for github are really useful e.g. as she describes:
     

    I think it's beneficial for bigger projects to spot new contributors either to have a closer look at the patch or just to congrats for the first contribution..  
     
    and the other one:
    IMO I would call it a bug that the invitation is only visible via email and not reminds you friendly as soon as you login with your github account but well.. Nothing is perfect..  But I also like that I could not be randomly added to groups I don't know or I don't want to be part of..
     
    And my last two cents on this one:
    Well IMO those 'values' are written by HR and Lawyers (to ensure they can't be sued for them..  ) and that's why a bunch of people inside a company don't give a fuck whats written there.. They don't grow organic it's more some sort of GMO, the majority accepts them cause they're cheap... e.g. 
    smells like the marketing intern together with the law intern played a round of buzzword bingo to make an HR senior happy who had to make management happy cause they pushed him to write down some sort of 'what we are'.. If this stuff doesn't come from the people who do the work.. They don't feel responsible to follow these rules/values.. That's why IMO the companies HR department should have different 'values' than the development unit and they may have different values than the production department..

    Actually yes. I've removed the partitioning information from the dts and pass it as a kernel parameter.

    You may take my copy here. I'm curious if your kernel will boot (wasn't successful so far).

    I forgot to mention that you have to pass the mtd partitioning information via the kernel command line, e.g.

    umiddelb got a reaction from Jason Rogers in How to build my own image or kernel?   
    The Armbian build system is well documented, but it builds everything from source. If you don't have access to the source and/or don't know which source to take, it might be easier to start with an existing firmware and/or kernel. You should have serial console access to the board and know how deal with the firmware (u-boot). If have have access to the sources you can just re-cycle the slot of an existing board (unfortunately Armbian doesn't offer "spare" or "intentionally left blank" slots).

    I've just managed to build Devuan/Aarch64 for the Odroid C2 using the traditional debootstrap (on an Ubuntu host) way, so I might be able to patch the armbian/build scripts in order to generate a Devuan image.

    Hi,
     
    for the records, the ESPRESSObin runs pretty well with a 4.12-rc mainline kernel. I've merged the marvell defconfig with upstream defconfig, but I needed to skip CONFIG_DRM* (otherwise board doesn't boot). Following things are missing at the moment:
    cpu frequency scaling wlan0 (didn't manage to get I working with 4.4 BSP) mtd access (didn't manage to get I working with 4.4 BSP either) USB 2.0 port (while the USB 3.0 runs fine) Did anyone here succeed in getting wlan and/or mtd running?
     
    Cheers
    Uli

    - I have collected some patches for the KVIM, but all of them have been merged into mainline, so no patches regarded to the KVIM.
    - This is the patchset for the C2, mostly related to reliable ethernet operations, USB and cpufreq support.
    - I've started to edit a common kernel config for both the ODROID-C2 and the Khadas VIM
     
    That's all, the rest of the patches are related to freescale/nxp imx6 devices, like the CuBox-i and the Utilite.

    umiddelb reacted to tkaiser in How to create bootable Armbian uSD for Pine64?   
    One single partition. All devices Armbian supports don't require proprietary crap like FAT boot partitions (that's a 'privilege' of Raspberries since the VideoCore IV VPU/GPU is controlling the SoC in reality and can't deal with anything else than FAT16 or FAT32). On real SBC there's no need for a 'boot partition' and so we don't use one. The real bootloaders are located before the partition starts: http://linux-sunxi.org/Bootable_SD_card#SD_Card_Layout
     
    So everything is fine and I even tested the image you use for you.
