New ArchLinux nand image for cubietruck

[fabianka]

hi,
i just installed your image on nand. everything works, but when i update the kernel or want to switch to mainline kernel, they are not booted.
instead it's always kernel version: 3.4.75+
the version linux-sun7i-3.4.103-5 or linux-armv7-4.0.0-1 install without problems, but i don't know how to boot them.
kind regard,
fabian

You have to mount /dev/nand1 and replace uImage with your new one. This is probably where the uImage is loaded from on your device.

E.g.

Code Select Expand

mount /dev/nand1 /mnt/
mv /mnt/uImage /mnt/uImage.bak
cp -a /boot/uImage /mnt/uImage
sync
umount /mnt

I have had some trouble with the ALARM kernel. So please report back if it works well for you.


Regards,
tinx

for the new  linux-sun7i version it works.
but kernel has no uImage File.
Do i have to copy all the files form /boot to /dev/nanda (its not called nand1 at my arch)?

Hi,

I installed your NAND-Image - everything worked fine - but after system update via

Code Select Expand

pacman -Syu I don't have my eth0 after startup.

Code Select Expand

dmesg|grep eth
[    2.462245] i2c-core: driver [synaptics-rmi-ts] using legacy suspend method
[    2.475061] i2c-core: driver [synaptics-rmi-ts] using legacy resume method

[    7.950048] eth%d: device MAC address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

lsmod gives me:

lsmod

sunxi_cedar_mod         9938  0

bcmdhd                497637  0
sunxi_gmac             29883  0

So, the driver is loaded, but eth0 isn't up.
As reported in posts before, dhcpcd eth0 brings up the device, but I want it to have a static IP...and that doesn't work.

I followed the instructions given at the Arch Wiki https://wiki.archlinux.de/title/Statische_IP, but I can't get eth0 up after boot.
