Thanks for your feedback…using nmtui or nmcli it indeed works as expected.
make defconfig distro.config

Thanks @Mani. Having a go at it now. There seems to be a problem downloading the linaro toolchain in latest (403 Forbidden). Going by specific release works though, e.g. - http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/7.3-2018.05/
Hi @helg,
Yes, you can do that using below steps:
-
Add below entry in /etc/apt/sources.list
deb Index of /linaro-overlay-stretch/Debian_9.0 ./ -
Install the kernel:
i) apt update
ii) apt install linux-image-4.19.5-hikey -
Modify device tree at grub when booting the new image
PS: Thanks to @suihkulokki for the repo link.
Cheers,
Mani
is the HDMI supported in this release?
Hi, by any chance, does this release support Xen? I have posted on another thread regarding my failure to booting Xen with this release. Whereas, I have had success booting Xen using an earlier image extracted from linaro-stretch-developer-20180416-89.tar.gz. As my boot log has shown, this release does not provide a workaround for Xen’s scheduler to handle big.LITTLE. I have tried passing hmp-unsafe=true and dom0_vcpus_pin=true to the Xen command line to no avail. I appreciate if you or someone in the community could shed some lights on this. Thanks,
@Mani, can you please let me know where to get the source for the kernel, as i am trying to built the perf tool for it. Thanks
I tried compiling your kernel today and ran into a small build issue. The one-liner in this link fixes it:
Just build and installed the kernel debian package 5.0 and 5.1.0-rc6 on the image: Linaro Snapshots
on both SD card and UFS and I see the same issue
the boot process for 5.0 stops at:
for 5.1 kernel:
the same kernel are working fine in android enviroment with the same boards, any hint?
Thanks,
F.
Try to enable early console via kernel cmd line (earlycon=pl011,0xfff32000,115200
).
Hi @Mani, since I’m looking at the latest debian should be “30” from Linaro Snapshots is the kernel 4.19.5 in this release or in previous one? also sd card image has that kernel? Thanks
Yes, release 30 is based on 4.19.5 kernel but there is no SD card image.
sorry @mani but i see http://snapshots.linaro.org/96boards/hikey/linaro/debian/30/linaro-stretch-developer-hikey-20190420-30.sd.gz , am I in the right repo?
@francesco_camarda I should’ve clarified. We do have SD card image but it is not tested on Hikey960!
@mani …I tested it and was not working, the latest working kernel for debian sd for me is the 4.18.
So i will try the UFS debain image, Thanks! F.
@mani, the UFS image is fine, the SD card one is freezing @:
