Has anyone been able to get kernel 4.????  to work on an orange Pi Pc?

It works, but this is automated build since its still under development, which means sometimes could be broken.

Thank you for the information sir.

Igor,

 

     I really do thank you for the information on how to get to the nightly build, but that is for ubuntu I need it for Debian.  Is there a way to convert it over to Debian?

No, but you can build it on your own from sources. That's why provide and support build tools - for those who need something else than our prebuilds.

I tried to build it from source and it kept giving errors.  I run Debian, not Ubuntu, so I'm on my own, lol.

The problem that I am running into is the software that I am trying to compile on the OPI requires "Thumb-1 hard-float VFP ABI" and that is not implemented, or at least that's what gcc is telling me.

And you think this problem will be solved by switching to Debian version?

[cpwtech]

That's what the install script requires.

@cpwtech you can always create an Ubuntu 16.04 VM with KVM or VirtualBox. From there, the build script will do all the hard work.

4.10 runs happily on my OpiPC.
