Rock 3 Slarm64 (aarch64 unofficial slackware)

#21

Mara thanks again for You work on this board.
I tested this image (5.16/server) and here are my thoughts

  1. I was surprised that uart console don’t work right after kernel is loaded, this results in three or four messages and nothing further, this forced me to plug in external hdmi monitor and keyboard - that worked just fine,
  2. there is no more time issue - it keeps day and time
  3. hardware buttons are not working, no shutdown or restart, shutdown/reboot command is not working
  4. I expected bit more drivers in recent kernel, especially for wifi - no iwl was found, this may need more work, pcie card was recognized

I made few more tests and kernel and it pass requirements for kubernetes right from box, I will check more things there but it looks promising.

Thanks dominik,

1 point has already been corrected , otherwise this is a rough adaptation of dts to the new kernel.

#36

Will these images work on a em25? Or are they strictly for the Rock 3?

#37

According to the idea, they can, but it is better to change the DTB and the bootloader.

#38

Do you have a how to on this procedure? Lol

I’ve never had to do this much work to get Linux on a system before… the ARM world is so much different than x86 or PowerPC.

#39

Radxa EM25 Support

After write image, edit /boot/uEnv.txt and change:
fdtfile=rockchip/rk3568-rock-3a.dtb
to
fdtfile=rockchip/rk3568-radxa-e25.dtb

#40

Thanks. I’ll give it a shot!
