5.3 kernel support? - csrf - 10-17-2019
what's the status on kernel developement/support for the latest 5.x kernel?
I have a rock64 (version 1?) and I'm wondering if there are still plans to support it, or if the board is more/less being "given up on" at this point...

Working well with arch linux arm. I'm using them headless as network appliances. I don't know if there are video issues. The network stack and USB3 performance is RADICALLY IMPROVED, compared to earlier kernels.

thanks for the info, however, I'm wondering when the mainline kernel will more generally be supported by other distros, as I prefer to go with a Debian-based system. Is this an issue where rockchip hasn't progressed in releasing an updated kernel???

No idea about that.

+1 bump for Debian based distro support.
Confirm had good success with arch earlier.

Please share your dotconfig, or any patches to the kernel you needed to make!
