ODROID HC2: Alpine Linux kernel
Description
In !3006 (merged) an attempt is made to use the real deal: the mainline Linux kernel from kernel.org with the default exynos_defconfig
and pmOS required kconfigs. Before that, I tried to upstream these configs to Alpine Linux to use their linux-lts
package instead. However, the ODROID HC2 cannot find any USB controllers if I did that. I also tried to use linux-postmarketos-exynos5
but that crashes heavily when bringing up the CPUs.
Next steps
- Find out why the Alpine Linux kernel doesn't find USB controller to access USB 3.0 HDDs.
- Upstream config changes to Alpine Linux
- Change the ODROID HC2 device package to use
linux-lts
orlinux-edge
Personally, I have no idea why this doesn't work, so I hope somebody steps in to figure this out.
