Am I the last ODROID XU3/HC2 user out there?
I'm surprised no one else has asked about the new version of "linux-firmware", which -- according to the recent announcement -- only works with kernel >= 5.3.
I'm still using the kernel package "linux-odroid-xu3" with my HC2 (which is a 4.14er kernel). So, I've not updated the linux-firmware package (yet). Has anyone else tried the new firmware with the old kernel (perhaps accidentally)?
Or does anyone know of a newer kernel which would work on the HC2 -- with the new firmware?
That would be the better solution, of course. Or migrating to new hardware (e.g. the HC4). Still, my HC2 is running like a charm and since it's not broke, I'm not sure if I want to "fix" it (but I would like to keep the software up-to-date).
(There was a post here months ago looking for a new kernel, which was "answered" with pointers to a newer kernel for the C2, but the C2 and the HC2 are not the same thing (if I'm not very much mistaken). I've been waiting to hear if anyone got a 5'er kernel to work with an HC2).
UPDATE - SOLUTION: The 4.14 Kernel works with the updated firmware (despite the warnings).
