dCore Import Debian Packages to Mountable SCE extensions > Freescale i.MX6

GK802 Quad Processor

(1/4) > >>

roberts:
I now have dCore booting on the GK802 Quad Core i.Mx6. Since this is an Arm v7 machine, it is running the base rootfs as the Allwinner.

U-boot and the boot procedure is quite different, and of course, a kernel and modules needed to be compiled for i.MX6.

Since it is armv7 imported packages from Debian Wheezy work. It the same procedure as Allwinner and x86 dCore.

So far, I have automated procedures to create a bootable sdcard, boot initrd, and load sce extensions to enable wifi . More to follow...

Nice

That is interesting indeed

Free scale CPU chips release the code right

roberts:
I just got started on the GK802 and now it is on the back burner as other projects are requiring my attention.

I did get wifi working and was able to download and import a flwm X desktop. The X programs work. X resolution needs attention but will have to wait. If anyone else has one and wants to play/help with a very early cut post here.

If only ik knew something worthwhile to help.... But I don't

It will be great to see a TCL build on arm quad core devices

I have seen that other Linux distros have been fully ported to the
Free scale devices

There is also a port to rock chip with full video acceleration and you can
Find it in the picuntu forums

roberts:
There are too many arm devices and therefore too many custom kernels to build and u-boot which differs from device to device to learn. We don't have the resources of other projects to try to tackle all or even many of them. There is rockchip, omap, marvell, exynos, snapdragon devices ...

But still it is fun to learn and see Core running on these tiny devices.
