CloudShell2 LCD non-functional under Armbian - missing XU4 kernel module.

[aaronouthier]

Well,

 

I just bought a CloudShell direct from HarkKernel in South Korea. It was delivered and assembled. However, the LCD display - a major selling point - is non-functional. It appears to require a kernel module specific to the odroid xu4 specific kernel, that isn't available in the stock kernel.

 

I am attempting to compile a 4.x.y kernel from hardkernel sources. So far, 4.14 doesn't appear to work. I want to run Open Media Vault 6, but currently, it only supports Armbian Bullseye, not any Ubuntu, etc. Armbian/OMV works for everything except he LCD.

 

I am attempting to remedy the issue, but it will mean downgrading my kernel, which may cause other issues. Fingers crossed. Going to try an even older 4.x.y kernel.

@aaronouthier - I did move your thread, to the other supported boards forum.

Take note that, bug tracker forums - as clearly shown - are dedicated for hardware issues with official Armbian images only.

I forgot to get back here sooner.

 

It turns out, I didn't need to mess with kernels at all.

 

I just needed to edit boot.ini, and change the variable cs2enable from false to true. This causes a few overlay files to be loaded and from there, the display and fan work fine.
