Paweł Janowski Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Hello, its posible to make ArmBian for Jetson TK1 ex. based on tool https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib ? Im use Armbian on Cubieboard and Orange Pi PC. Its great distro ! I have also Jetson TK1, but NVIDIA dosnt support it well.

hmartin Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Im use Armbian on Cubieboard and Orange Pi PC. Its great distro ! I have also Jetson TK1, but NVIDIA dosnt support it well. I want use on Jetson TK1 the almost newest kernel ( https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/NVIDIA/Jetson-TK1). I read the link, if Debian can be installed on the Jetson then it's quite likely that Armbian could boot on it as well. The major issue though is that it's very difficult for us to support a board we don't own. It's really hard to debug low-level bugs in embedded hardware, and doing that with only log files on a forum or IRC basically makes it impossible. I checked online and it costs around $200 USD to buy one. Most of the boards Armbian supports cost less than $50 USD. So I don't think it's likely to be supported by Armbian because: it costs a lot basically no one has one It's a niche board, and if there isn't much demand from the community for support (because of 1 & 2 above) then it's not likely anyone wants to spend the time to make it work and keep it working. If you wanted to add Armbian support, since you own one, we would be more than happy to help you with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have managed to get it running with my CubieTruck system (Debian) and the NVidia kernel. The major hassle was getting the NVidia driver to work. So it definitely can be done and the video driver was the only bit that took some work. I'm running Wheezy and I haven't tried a Jessie system. The NAND setup is way different from Cubie boards. On the TK1 the NAND is /dev/mmcblk0 and the boot files are in the /boot directory. Cheers, Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
