Klez Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Hi, If you think that Solid-run Cubox-i kernel branch is becoming outdated, you can use a mainline linux kernel with the following enablement patches: Russell King home dir: http://www.home.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/cubox/?C=M;O=D Grab the most recent hummingboard-cubox-i DIFF big patch and patch it into your vanilla 4.1 kernel source dir. Then use a default config appropiate for a Cubox-i / Hummingboard: # make imx_v6_v7_defconfig hope it helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Yes, thanks for reporting this. I managed to patch & compile but have got no HDMI out. Is this normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klez Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 No it´s not. The vanilla kernel 4.1 rc supports (without any patches) HDMI output much better than the solid-run kernel. Most video modes work in almost all kind of monitors. Enablement patches are mostly the Etna_Viv staging driver and DTS patches for supporting audio over HDMI ( Synopsis Designware AHB Audio interface) and support for Wifi+Bluetooth Broadcom brcm4330-sdio. Personally, i do not use the Etna_viv DRM staging driver and i can grant that the HDMI video output is vastly improved with stock unpatched 4.1rc. You can have a look to my .config file and base your work with it. It´s very stripped for my cubox-i DL. http://www.klezstyle.com/temp/config-4.1rc-klez.gz Proudly compiled in my Cubox-i DL with your debian Jessie image. I´ll be around for comments, see you. - Klez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I manage to build but with different config. Yours was not working - kernel crash / panic (tested only briefly on Hummingboard i2ex). Small config is anyway not an option for me. I need to support all possible hw at once. ... but i bump into one bug very quickly. From no apparent reason one CPU core goes to 100% and stays there. Anyway, it's a progress and amazingly audio is here, mSata is working, i got HDMI now, ... I made a new build for old kernel too: http://www.igorpecovnik.com/2014/08/19/cubox-i-hummingboard-debian-sd-image/ v2.8 / 6.6.2015 Added iMx irqbalance service (Wheezy & Jessie) Added kernel 4.x for testing, unstable Added / fix binary repository for Wheezy and Trusty Added 256Mb emergency swap Ubuntu and jessie install errors fixed, removed busybox-syslogd and changed to default logger due to problems in Jessie and Ubuntu, apt-get upgrade fixed, console font fix, PGP signed archives, documentations update Build script rework – image size shrink to actual size, possible to have fat boot partition on SD card, everything packed as DEB apt-get upgrade ready but not enabled yet, serial console fixed, fixed hostapd under jessie, easy kernel switching, latest patched hostapd for best performance – normal and for realtek adaptors, auto IO scheduler script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
