my radxa is server console without X but the performance is great , speed of kernel compilation is really fast i will try to run minecraft server on it today
<hipboi>
oh, you compile kernel on it :)
<Adibek>
yes
<Adibek>
kernel with actual wifi driver
<Adibek>
wifi drivers from Git working ok and the instalation is simple
<Adibek>
i have test darkice to stream audio from rk1000 via alsa drivers and working great
<Adibek>
using interal microphone
<Adibek>
but i have problem with kernel booting , no every power up of radxa is booting :( sometimes i have to 3 or 5 times unplug and plug power to start linux
<naobsd>
in general Linux(distro, e.g. ubuntu) can be run on Android kernel, my multiboot ramdisk support someone who doesn't have kernel source
<naobsd>
but there is kernel source for RR, you can make Linux(not Android) kernel from it
<naobsd>
you may use both Android and Linux kernel
<naobsd>
and picuntu is not only distro which can run on RR and other RK devices
<naobsd>
you may use any distro (I use linaro, basically same as ubuntu)
<naobsd>
it needs some workaround for Android kernel (e.g. add groups to use network)
<naobsd>
if you don't use NAND, you may run Linux without ramdisk
<naobsd>
sorry, if you don't use NAND as for rootfs, you may use Linux/Android kernel without ramdisk
<naobsd>
you may make rootfs on SD card or USB storage, you may put NAND driver on it
<Adibek_>
naobsd you are my menthor the Yoda of radxa
<naobsd>
using Linux distro on RR(and any other RK devices) is not special at all. you may use someone's special distro, but you may use any other distro
<naobsd>
no, I'm not special person.
<naobsd>
I just do simple, general thing
<naobsd>
if you try my ramdisk, please see /init, it's very simple shell script
<Adibek_>
i see ok
<naobsd>
if you make Linux kernel and tweak boot command line, no need to use my(and any other) ramdisk to run Linux distro rootfs on SD/USB
<naobsd>
Android kernel needs workaround, so I made that ramdisk, but it's simple workaround
<naobsd>
main work of /init in my ramdisk is, mount disk which has rootfs, run switch_root command to run /sbin/init in rootfs
<naobsd>
that's all. my /init has some more lines, but it's for multiboot and fbterm for minimal shell environment
<naobsd>
core part is "mount rootfs and run switch_root" only
<naobsd>
Adibek: if you use USB SD card reader, and if reboot problem is gone, then you have mmc problem
<Adibek_>
so what i have to do with zImage from my kernel if i want to use SDCard
