support of Allwinner processors seem poor in all
by matti christensen 11 Nov '15

11 Nov '15

Hello i just bought this - http://www.orangepi.org/orangepipc/ - as it was really cheap... playing w cubieboard 2 and studying orange pi pc - i must say that support ( kernel source, u-boot source, ... ) for these is really poor = there are several private source trees in various git reposities, and no knowledge of their activity, support .... would like to have opinions, hints of working kernel source archives, comments ... /mc keep-IT-simple

has anyone found a working mainline linux source for cubieboard ?
by matti christensen 03 Nov '15

03 Nov '15

Hello i've been trying to get different versions of mainline linux source ( 3.19.8 for instance, and even 'git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git' ) built for cubieboard 2 without success. the problem is sunxi-mmc driver = mainline u-boot loads fdt file and uImage just fine from sd-card, kernel begins to boot, but is unable to mount root partition because of sunxi-mmc error. no matter what i do ... ( i am able to build or cross build sunxi-u-boot and sunxi-linux from their respective git systems - but using mainline u-boot and kernel is the correct way ) ( and no - i won't accept any prebuilt kernels or stuff as i am minimalist who wishes to do his own way of building about everything from source = i only need crux to boot the system, after which i rip off a lot of stuff and begin building ) any comments ? many thanks in advance :-) /mc keep-IT-simple

machine id issue when installing on cubieboard 2 ( and no one at irc )
by matti christensen 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

Hello if installed according to your documentation on cubieboard 2 sd card, the system does not boot. there is a machine id mismatch which may be seen using serial console. reason for this is because you have used 'mainline' uboot from 'git://github.com/hno/u-boot branch wip/a20' as said on your page - but kernel obviously built from sunxi sources = http://linux-sunxi.org/Cubietech_Cubieboard2#Machine_ID_mismatch how do i easily fix this and make system boot ? ( to go on building my kind of system = ripping out unnecessary stuff, building my kind of minimalist kernel, .... ) -- is there any way of getting binary uboot related files built from sunxi uboot source ( https://github.com/linux-sunxi/u-boot-sunxi.git ) which set the 'correct' machine id -- would you be kind enough to walk me through building sunxi uboot with your toolkit - by irc or what ever ( i've been tinkering w linux since kernel 1.2.n but never cross compiled ) /mc keep-IT-simple

J72x-Installation
by Sebastian Pignataro 30 Sep '15

30 Sep '15

Hello to everybody, my name is Sebastian. I will be participating in the list, well for now queering and hoping to contribute soon ;-) As you may guess I own an arm mini device "HP JORNADA 728". The documentation in the site is very clear, but it did not mention how to boot it from Windows Ce " https://crux-arm.nu/SupportedDevices/J72x-Installation " Seeking a bit I founded a couple of guides, on the other hand I will appreciate if someone can tell me a bit about the process. Thanks in advanced.

Project's future plans related to new aarch64 architecture
by Victor Martinez 24 Dec '13

24 Dec '13

Hello, I'd like to start a thread talking about the new support for aarch64. This could be the next step in CRUX-ARM where we can start developing a newer toolchain with 64bit support for this architecture. It can be researched to add this support in the next 3.1 release (or at least to develop until we can put hands on devices with this support) Gcc seems to give support to it [1] and this could be very interesting for the next year, when probably we'll start seeing first devices with aarch64 support (armv8) with backwards compatibility and not relay only in ARM emulator (Foundationv8). Could be interesting to start a new git repository (toolchain-aarch64) to start playing with the new armv8 arch? Any thoughts about this? Regards, Victor.
