A current Linux for Hikey970

Products Support HiKey970
#1

Is there a straight up reasonably complete and current Linux load for the Hikey 970. Something that supports the HDMI interface, the gigE, a desktop like Kde, Gnome, LXDE, etc right out the box, development tools (just need gcc and X libraries)?

We are trying to evaluate this board for something and building all kinds of Linux modules seems a little out of the scope of what we are trying to achieve at this stage.

Thanks

Thanks. I saw those. V1.0.0 always has me worried, especially since it’s been 6 months since then. Are they OK?

#4

alaw, did you tested this image? I wonder what desktop capabilities is available there. Only X11 driver, or Wayland driver too? Is GLES actually supported?

#5

I actually never did get that image to work. I had soemone send me a different image (the guys from LeMaker) that worked fine.

#6

I see. If possible, could you please clarify what is available in this different image regarding desktop capabilities listed above?
