ODROID-X2 Support?

[anthcp]

Hi all,
I managed to get the odroid-x version of arch running on the odroid-x2 if its of interest to anyone....
Basically just upgraded the existing image and loaded x windows etc...
An image was saved and I could upload it if required...

I'm interested... I'm really anxious for this thing to do something besides android!

Me too! Can't wait to get Arch Linux on my X2

For anyone who can't wait, there is a post on the hardkernel board with an image for the U2 (not mine!). I received my U2 this morning, and I can confirm the image over there is working nicely:

I have a U2 on the way to finish testing and polishing a proper image. Unfortunately with a death in the family, I'll probably be gone by the time it gets to my office.

@xenoxaos If I can help with any testing, I'll be happy to do so. The only issue I have seen so far is a USB reset issue. The main reason for wanting the U2 is for an embedded application which has 12 webcams and 4 microprocessors (mbed) attached. The mbed is connected as a USBHID device and the reset happens every minute or so. I haven't seen that behaviour on either the Cubox or ArchLinux x86 running on an old P4, or even a Rasberry Pi (although that has plenty of other USB-related issues). I notice the image is running an older kernel than the other images, so I'm hoping a kernel update might solve it. Its a long time since I compiled my own kernel, and I've never even done it on Arch, so wouldn't know where to start with ALArm.
Best wishes, Paul.

12 webcams?!? I doubt that will work well. That's taking a 480Mbit link and hacking it by 12....That's not going to go very well. I can usually only get 2-3 max on a single USB bus.

Any news about the X2? I saw there are X2 kernel packages in the repos already. Can't wait!
