deadbrain Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 Hi all, sorry if my question is stupid but I would like to use ARMBian on this Keith & Koep board. I know that there are different problems with serial configuration and that may prevent u-boot to start. I would like to know if I can regenerate easily an ISO adaptating the hardware with custom device tree .... Which repositories should I clone ? Thanks for your support Kind regards Jerome
Tido Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 Hi Jerome, Welcome to armbian - looks like you know how to spend your time over christmas You didn't mention it, have you already looked in here: https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/ Cheers Tido
Igor Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 13 hours ago, deadbrain said: Which repositories should I clone ? Since we don't support this board, I can give you only some generic tips. Inspect those examples to see what you might need to do:https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/921https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/1158 https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/1151 For start you need to be able to build image for your hardware manually, then you start to brought it in the system. You can use u-boot in binary form or made it from sources in the build process. Then add your device tree with a patch. You can skip all kernels and port support only for a kernel 4.19.y
deadbrain Posted December 23, 2018 Author Posted December 23, 2018 Thanks guys for being so supportive. Your links are very helpful.We 'll try to finish our current work with a device tree integrating an external RTC ... We use a bunch of scripts & work made by the board provider but they use a very old kernel (4.1) and this kernel does not evolve anymore. That's why we'd like to port your excellent work to have a fresh kernel and something very close from Debian.... Merry christmas to all hardware hackers... Best regards 1
