Hi All,
I've got unsupported RK3288 hardware running the latest git u-boot to SPL as explained in http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=blob;f=doc/README.rockchip. My goal is to run the mainline (ie. not Android) Linux kernel on this hardware and wondered:
- Do I need to get the latest git u-boot to run before I can run the
mainline kernel? Or can I use github.com/linux-rockchip/u-boot-rockchip.git, which I have running u-boot fully.
It's up to you - obviously mainline is where the development should be, but there is no requirement that I know of.
Does mainline run on your board?
The device tree seems to be in two places, once via:
resource_tool --image=resource2.img --pack linux/logo.bmp ${DTS}.dtbthat gets put into the resource file and then again at the end of the kernel via CONFIG_ARM_APPENDED_DTB. Do I need both? When I do both I get things like:
.... Unknow param: MACHINE_MODEL:rk30sdk! Unknow param: MACHINE_ID:007!
I don't know much about that. Hopefully someone on the linux-rockchip list knows. But for mainline U-Boot I'm not sure why you would need this?
....
Thanks much for any help.
