Kernel for A64 git
All problem just normal crappiness mostly.
I pushed a new Kernel minor build bringing some additional file system support and fixing hw-supported ahash registration which was broken. See first post of this thread for details.

Update like this (as root, not sudo!) on any of my images:
Code:
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image/master/simpleimage/platform-scripts/pine64_update_uboot.sh)

Hey, /u/longsleep - with kernel 4.6 now official, are you going to be working on porting that back down, or do you think it'll 'just work'???

hrmmm...

maybe i should give it a try while waiting for a response...
I will not port anything down whatever you mean by that. Its quite the opposite direction - just that Kernel 4.6 has basic A64 SoC support is of little consequence for the Pine64 right now. See my response at http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?t...79#pid9779
Ahh.. i got too excited when I saw the A64 SoC support.

I wish i had the C skills and kernel knowledge to help out. I'm much better on the system management/scripting side of things.
I pushed a new Kernel minor build backporting apparmor 3 to get full support for secure containers. This means the XFS module is no longer included as it is incompatible. See first post of this thread for the complete list.

I pushed a new Kernel minor, backporting the last missing bit to support unprivileged secure containers. This means Pine64 now has full support for the LXD container hypervisor (see http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/lxd for details).

I just pushed a new awesom Kernel release together with an update to the update scripts. Starting with 3.10.101-4-pine64-longsleep-51 the Kernel release supports out-of-tree building of modules and DKMS. For example this makes it possible to install ZFS on Ubuntu and the Kernel modules will compile automatically on installation and on every future Kernel update.

Great work, longsleep!

I guess this means that the script I wrote to do a full-from-source compile won't be needed anymore, now that out-of-tree modules work.

change is good. :-)

https://github.com/longsleep/linux-pine6...ne64-hacks

Use it together with my build tools at https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image to create working and bootable Linux images from source.

The Kernel and U-Boot from the BSP uses the device tree from https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine6...pine64.dts and a suitable Kernel configuration is at https://github.com/longsleep/linux-pine6..._defconfig

Start with reading https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine6.../README.md and do not forget about U-Boot https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine6...ostprocess

I publish compiled Linux Kernel builds for image builders from that tree. This gives you Kernel, initrd, dtb and modules which can be easily combined with any rootfs.

To make your own Linux image with this Kernel, check out my simple image releases which combine U-Boot and a suitable disk layout at http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=99 for details and download.

Released tarballs are signed with a detached GPG signature (.asc) signed by my personal key 0x090EF0DB. Get the key and verify that the download is intact and unmodified.
Code:
gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 090EF0DB
gpg --with-fingerprint arch-pine64-*.xz.asc


To update both Kernel an U-Boot to the latest releases, run the following commands (as root):
Code:
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image/master/simpleimage/platform-scripts/pine64_update_uboot.sh)
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image/master/simpleimage/platform-scripts/pine64_update_kernel.sh)
and reboot.

Your feedback is most welcome.

How to add to support into the official linux kernel tree ?
