Kernel for A64 git

[longsleep]

You still have to worry as Kernel 3.10 is officially end of life since Dec 2015. It still gets the occasional update but its still a very old Kernel tree.

The EOL is actually on October 2017 (longterm maintainence release)

Oh someone took over the 3.10 line recently. Thanks for the hint - i missed that. So its indeed Oct, 2017 now. So then still do not feel safe because of what tkaiser said.

By the way, the upgrade script fails to detect the latest version (3.10.101). It shows that the kernel that I have (3.10.65) is at it's latest version.

I do not see how this could be the case. You know that its not really checking what you run? It is just comparing etags with what it stored before in /var/lib/misc/pine64_update_kernel.status - so remove that file to force it download and apply again.

I wanted to check if i could do 720p in U-Boot and show a boot logo and then switch to 1080p with the tool later.

Agreed. This is even better. Resolution switching works fine here but only until X is started. Afterwards it gets messy. So adjusting resolution in uEnv.txt should be the preferred method and people shouldn't be aware that sunxi-disp-tool even exists

Yes - If X runs, the framebuffer cannot be released and recreated or something. So X needs to stop, then change resolution, start X and everything is good. Also wrote it in the README at https://github.com/longsleep/sunxi-disp-...E.md#usage to be sure i can point and say see here - i said so
