dCore Import Debian Packages to Mountable SCE extensions > dCore Armv7
Alwinner A20
beerstein:
Thank you Jason for the new A10 dCore.
How much work and time would be involved to port it to A20 cubietruck?
I used the uCore from the previous A10 sytem and added a new cubietruck kernel. LAN works fine but I can not install extensions.
Where can I find help to move on with my project?
roberts:
Start by comparing our kernel config file, found in the A10 download section, with that of the kernel you are using.
If you are able to bool to a prompt then at least initrd is supported in your kernel.
If no extensions are loaded then I suspect no squashfs in your kernel. Will need kernel recompile to include.
beerstein:
Thank you Robert. Will try to find that out and post back. I never recompiled a kernel, but I will try to learn it.
beerstein:
Here is what patwood from the cubieboard forum posted for me:
"The kernels I've uploaded have squashfs built as a module, not baked into the kernel. However, if you have an initrd working, you should be able to copy /lib/modules/3.4.75-sun4i+/kernel/fs/squashfs/squashfs.ko into it and install it with modprobe or insmod."
Question: How can I copy this into my dCore? and make it permanent?
roberts:
I would not advise to change dcore as it is not a simple initrd that can be easily unpacked and repacked as core.gz. It is pseudo compiled with sunxi tools.
However, additional .gzs are still supported in tce-setup and that is what I would try. You will need to be familiar with cpio and gzip to make this specialized extension. Start only with squashfs and then add others as might be needed. The .gz is loaded before any regular extensions (sces). Give that a try.
