Odroid C1 - mainline kernel status

Postby Sagittarius » Wed Dec 08, 2021 9:03 am

The subject viewtopic.php?f=23&t=15041 is locked, so I was wondering which is now the status of the mainline kernel on Odroid C1 regarding the Matrix support table on linux-meson: https://linux-meson.com/hardware.html

eMMC status seems right now, is it ?
what about USB,or even HDMI ?

Thanks.

I tried yesterday to run Odroid C1+ using alarms mainline kernel with no avail.

Odroid boots from eMMC but USB, HDMI and ethernet not working.
Still a paperweight with kernel provided by alarm.

ArchLinuxArm is stuck with 5.11 here too while linux-meson is already at 5.16.
Seems like archlinuxarm kernel development for armv7 has completely stopped a year ago.

The only architecture which still seems to get kernel updates is AArch64.
This is sad. Seems like we have to look for another distribution for our armv7 devices. :(

No idea what the status is for C1 to be honest as I haven't tried it in a while and the 3.10 seems to be doing the job for now, but I have compiled the 5.15.14 for my other devices if you'd like to try
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'https://olegtown.pw/Public/ArchLinuxArm/linux-armv7/')
Note: I've taken out beagle* patches and cubietruck led patch from this package if somebody else stumbles upon this thread with these devices. Confirmed working with Odroid XU4, U2; SolidRun Clearfog, Cubox i

armv7 will eventually get updated. Kevin just hasn't got around to it yet.

I noticed alarm-kernel 5.16.2-2 was released for odroid-c1 just yesterday. :D

Was able to boot it with two simple modifications to boot.ini:

setenv condev "console=ttyAML0,115200n8"
ext4load mmc 0:1 0x21800000 /boot/dtbs/meson8b-odroidc1.dtb

- still no HDMI output (like expected)
- USB hotplug not working really reliable: Only, if there was some usb-device attached during boot which will be recognised by the Odroid (usb memory-stick e.g.) you can use the other usb ports.

- rngd blocks the whole device for about 1min with all cores at 100% workload. This makes ssh login painfully slow.
- reboot mostly does not work, you have to power-cycle in most cases.

So no real advance to kernel 5.11 :cry:

Will try now if eMMC is really supported with new kernel...

ADDENUM:

Yes, the odroid c1 seems to boot from eMMC (blue light blinking) - but still with no network and no usb working. :(
So it still stays unusable with eMMC.

With the same eMMC attached to the sd-card adapter in the sd-card slot of the odroid it will boot with network.

Any ideas how to fix this?
