You can find ‘Linux’ RPB snapshots here: http://snapshots.linaro.org/reference-platform/embedded/
You can refer to the following topic for first-time flashing steps:
Thank you. In the link you provided for accessing the rpb yocto, when i go to the the link provided and access
Rocko-insale-gl->hikey960->latest->rpb-> There are a lot of files.
Am i supposed to flashboot all of them ?
Another question is with the step in the link
Flash RAM with recovery binaries
sudo ./hikey_idt -c config -p /dev/ttyUSB0
Once complete, your board switches into fastboot mode. Do not unplug the power.
Does this mean, I need not turn off the board to change the switches to ON, OFF,ON ??
Will the switch positions be in ON ON OFF while doing the fastboot ??
Correct, hikey_idt only loads binaries in ram, if you reboot you will lost them.
What peripheral devices are supported on the Hikey 960 once Linux has been installed? Would I be able to SSH into the board and use the USB 3.0 ports?
@sumit.garg I have not installed a Linux version yet, is there a particular one I should install? I was planning on Ubuntu.
@earldean Use https://github.com/96boards-hikey/tools-images-hikey960/blob/master/build-from-source/README-build-from-source.md to build kernel image.
Is there any linux image that work on hikey960 which outputs HDMI ? I tried rpb-desktop-image-test-hikey960-20181026094402-168.rootfs.img.gz here: http://snapshots.linaro.org/reference-platform/embedded/morty/hikey960/latest/rpb/ but it didn’t seem to work. Thanks
