So my question for this list is: should > I be able to use this Linaro Ubuntu kernel (and their U-Boot) to boot a > Debian armhf system? you mean this? https://wiki.linaro.org/Boards/Arndale/Setup/EnterpriseUbuntuServer#Build.2C_burn_uImage_and_dtb yes, you should be able to. that's what i did for this, which is an odroid-u2 (exynos 4412 based) system, last week: http://lkcl.net/reports/odroid-u2.html i used the kernel from here: https://github.com/hardkernel/linux.git which is "listed" as ubuntu but isn't. you would do well to have a wander over the process that i did because i think you'll find that what you need is pretty similar. for the "fusing" of u-boot they've got a couple of dd commands listed on the linaro wiki page, whereas the little toe-rags at hardkernel have enabled DRM so you need to do Treacherous-Zone signing with a little script grrr so that's what the sd_fusing.sh script is all about, but it's essentially the same thing: 4 dd's instead of just the 2. btw once you have a working system (even chroot) then just for fits and giggles i advise you to do *native* compiles of the kernel. fuck the cross-compiling - why would you want to do that when you now have a quad-core system @ 2ghz with 2gb of RAM on your hands?? :) even on the exynos 4412, the odroid-u2, running at 1.7ghz with 2gb of RAM i used the NAND (eMMC) drive and it only took 10-15 minutes to do a native kernel compile using "make -j6". plus, native compiling will give you more confidence that the system's able to stand up to some heavy loads. you've got a decent system there - use it!! /peace l. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
