Udoo-Quad core Kernel 4.0.8 issue

Alf · July 29, 2015

I was trying to install the udoo kernel but got stuck with this error:

Am I using the right package for udoo quad?

Have you try to install this on my image or some other?

Alf · July 29, 2015

No, on my existing debian installation.

Igor · July 29, 2015

OK, I think the only problem is that architecture name does not match.

I think this should help:

dpkg --add-architecture armhf

Igor · July 29, 2015

And remember to add this boot script:

/boot/boot.cmd

setenv bootargs root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootfstype=ext4 rootwait console=tty1 video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1920x1080M@60,if=RGB24,bpp=3
2 ahci_imx.hotplug=1 quiet
ext2load mmc 0 0x18000000 /boot/dtb/imx6q-udoo.dtb
ext2load mmc 0 0x12000000 /boot/zImage
bootz 0x12000000 - 0x18000000

And convert it to the uboot format:

mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d /boot/boot.cmd /boot/boot.scr

And of course adjust according to your conditions. This is for one partition SD card. If you have first FAT than some extra work is needed.

Thank you for all your help so far.

Here is where I am stuck now:

Any suggestions where I am going wrong?

You are doing everything O.K.

Change console output to serial to see what's going on and where it's stuck.

setenv bootargs root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootfstype=ext4 rootwait console=ttymxc1,115200

Alf · July 30, 2015

I will give that a go in the evening - just checked and I'm running ext3 on my sd card:

root@udoo:~# fsck -N /dev/mmcblk0p1
fsck from util-linux 2.25.2
[/sbin/fsck.ext3 (1) -- /dev/mmcblk0p1] fsck.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p1

so I'm guessing I have to change ext4 to 3 in the setenv command?

setenv bootargs root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootfstype=ext3 rootwait console=ttymxc1,115200

Hello,

I have been trying to compile a new kernel for UDOO Quad, using the site instruction and the default config modified (I only added not removed), I succeded but, the new options were not included in the new kernel.

I was trying to compile the new kernel with iptables nat support (Netfilter), but It seems that the new options were not included in the new compiled kernel.

I am trying to build a VPN server, but I can't using the default kernel for UDOO quad.

Can you please include in the standard release of UDOO quad (Vanilla) kernel support for VPN (netfilter).

I always receive this error: "iptables v1.4.21: can't initialize iptables table 'nat': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded."

Thank you very much.

You did a very great job with UDOO Quad distros !!!

Chris

Igor · September 20, 2015

Which kernel are you trying to build?

Kernel 3.14... is currently broken. I hope I'll manage to fix it during the week.

P.S.

Thanks

cristianc · September 21, 2015

Sorry, I forgot to mention, I was trying to compile Jessie 4.0.8. Everything went ok, but the new selected options (netfilter) were still not included in the new compiled kernel.

It will be wonderfull if you will include netfilter by default.

Thanks a lot.

Chris
