tony013 Posted May 18, 2021 Posted May 18, 2021 I'm pretty disillusioned. No system for the rockpi meets all my expectations. But TwisterOS comes very close. Even though I don't play computer games, I like the desktop and also the gimmick with the circles. Most of all I like that I can run Kodi and firefox from the same login. This is exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately the hardware PWM does not work under TwisterOS. Neither via overlay, nor with manually changed dtb file. I discovered that TwisterOS and LE use the same kernel version. Under LE my driver works, so I would like to try copying the kernel from LE to TwisterOS. Now both systems boot completely different. What do I need to consider to get the kernel from LE to work under TwisterOS? I guess, at least I have to generate a new uInitrd, but I don't know, how to do that.

tony013 Posted May 19, 2021 Author Posted May 19, 2021 Hi Werner, thank you very much for your attention! vor 12 Stunden schrieb Werner: Maybe try to get in touch with the guys via their Discord or Matrix channels Sorry, but I'm to old for that shit :( I know how to write emails or participate in a forum, but chat is not my media. Beside that, I'm a friend of asynchronous communication. Maybe you'd like to shine me a light, how I would do that on plain armbian? Content of boot directory looks quite similar to armbian - beside the version numbers. On plain linux I would issue something like update-grub which then generates/updates all required files for boot. Things are more complicated with the little bastards. I read, that (some?) u-boot expect kernel and initrd at fixed partition location (block number?), so normal copy operations might fail. I guess, that current armbian has evolved u-boot, so that boot requirements are more relaxed, but I don't know anything. I guess, as LE boots with just kernel and system file from special partition, the kernel will run without dynamically loaded modules. So a replacement should be possible. But I don't know, how to get around with u-boot. So any hint or link to read is appreciated a lot.
