booting with linux

Hi, I managed to boot my odroid-hc1 with linux as boot loader. i.e. no need to have u-boot or grub any more. The code that replaces the driver and hardware side is the linux kernel, with a small patch set: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/1/30/221 patch 3 of that series contains the hsinit process. I

Re: Armbian

Hi Reco, I wrote the guide for OdroidHC1, happy to answer any questions. To share some background: initially I was looking into a custom sdcard image build by debian. I remember finding some, but no one could tell me I could extend that list of automatic generated images. Also the blobs

Re: Assorted arm-buster problems #1

I find removing packages a hard problem. Typically I work around it by starting with a minimal base image that doesn't have anything offending. Example for my odroid hc1: https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/OdroidHC1 -> nothing related to avahi shows up for me, ping and dnslookup all work

Re: armhf vs buster problem #2

No idea. Sorry if I missed a mail with the reasons why stock debian wouldn't work? On my ordroid-hc1 I build an sd card image on my deskop as described in the wiki: https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/OdroidHC1 And with apt search I can see a realtime kernel is available:

Re: armv7 vs buster problem #3

domainname as in NIS? no idea. domainname as in fqdn hostname? echo $fqdn > /etc/hostname echo 127.0.0.1 $fqdn localhost > /etc/hosts works for me, and I hasn't been changed in years. Not sure if systemd will change something about this though. Andreas Am Mi., 3. Juli 2019 um 21:17 Uhr

debian buster: odroid-hc1 issues with new u-boot

Hi, I had debian buster working fine on my odroid-hc1 SBCs, here is how I had installed them: https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/OdroidHC1 The machines had gathered some dust and today I tried to get them to work again with debian buster as of today. I noticed these changes: * u-boot now

Re: Failed to run debootstrap for armhf stretch

Are you tied to debootstrap or would multistrap also work for you? I used multistrap to build the bootable sdcard image for odroid hc1. Also I used buster - so I'm not sure the same will work for you. But it might be worth a try? My notes are available here:

Re: odroid hc1 on debian?

I got my odroid-hc1 boards working, with these caveats: * after inserting an sd card into a desktop with debian, gnome file explorer or whatever pops up, if there are filesystems on the partition. Close those and unmount the partition first. * I have to configure a password (TODO: at least force a

Re: odroid hc1 on debian?

So I got a serial cable and thus can see what works and what doesn't: - I'm using netboot daily images, writing that to the sd card - replacing kernel and initrd with the network-console daily images - using latest u-boot-exynos_2017.09+dfsg1-3_armhf - and the hardkernel u-boot tree branch

Re: odroid hc1 on debian?

Thanks for the pointer, I didn't know that page. First I need to get things to work. Tomorrow I will get a serial cable I hope (I will try to x-wire between two odroid HC1, lets see if that works), and then I can try various parts. Andreas 2017-10-12 21:11 GMT+02:00 Harri Haataja

Re: odroid hc1 on debian?

Sorry, I got confused by the package naming "exynos", https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/u-boot.git/tree/debian has debian/u-boot-$package.README.Debian thus a custom README would need to be u-boot-exynoss.README.Debian? > Not sure if the partitioning is in sync. Debian uses 1MB > >

Re: odroid hc1 on debian?

ICE echo sudo -i mount /dev/\$DEVICE1 /mnt echo sudo -i cp $PWD/{vmlinuz,initrd.gz} /mnt echo sudo -i umount /mnt Does that sound like a proper direction? Thanks, Andreas 2017-10-08 1:14 GMT+02:00 Vagrant Cascadian <vagr...@aikidev.net>: > On 2017-10-07, Andreas Jelli

Re: odroid hc1 on debian?

Thanks, "network-console" sounds like what I want. But if it contains the debian-installer: does it have a special mode for this setup? A traditional install has two medium: one source medium (dvd, cd, usb-stick) and one target medium (hard disk, ...). But here the microSD card with the image

odroid hc1 on debian?

Hi, I managed to buy one of the new ordoid hc1 ("home cloud") boards. While the manufacturer and other 3rd parties like armbian offer debian images for it, I wonder: what would be necessary to use plain debian with it (unstable or testing is fine)? I read the plain linux kernel works out of the
