Ireng Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 HI, what do you (Igor) think about supporting e.g. the following devices from Rikomagic with your nicely developped DEBIAN image: http://www.rikomagic.com/en/product/showpro_id_59_pid_19.html CPU: RK3288 Quad Core http://www.rikomagic.com/en/product/showpro_id_70_pid_22.html CPU: Allwinner A80 Octa Core Regards, Ireng
Igor Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 I own one A80 device (Cubieboard 4) but am not playing much since kernel is (still) very immature. I plan to jump into when basic support reaches Vanilla kernel. There is very little development with the one and only (manufacturer) ancient kernel 3.4.39 ... I think some basic things should be working in 4.x at the time of writing. RK3x88 never came to my desk even I tried once to get a free sample I don't follow what's happening with kernel development.
Ireng Posted August 17, 2015 Author Posted August 17, 2015 Hi Igor, thank you for your comment! Allwinner A80 based devices are getting even mor epopular. Cubitech is going to release the Cubietruck+ (aka cubieboard 5, see http://cubietech.com)in the future. That is why I think the MK 80 Le might be a device which can be or should be supported and included into the group of hardware devices. regards, hitam4450
solarnetone Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Hi Ireng, I have been running the MK80 and MK80+ on the desktop for some time. Yes, the kernel is a bit crusty, but I was able to get Debian on the box. Maybe this groundwork can assist in an Armbian port. http://www.rikomagic.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=7603 Enjoy, Scott

Not so tough. The rest of it was the hard part to figure out;)
