Re: Kernel 3.2 for B2/B3

You shouldn't try to build the kernel from master branches in git because the repositories are probably broken for now. You should download the 3.2.62-1 tagged source from here : community-b3-kernel-debian-1-3.2.62-1.tar.gz untar and then follow the instruction on the wiki from 'Customizing the ker...

Re: Kernel 3.2 for B2/B3

I think the kernel http://files.la-mouette.net/bubba/bubba3-kernel_3.2.62-1_powerpc.deb is not compiled with support for the rtl8192cu kernel-module. So I'm trying to compile it myself. What I did sofar is followings: svn co https://github.com/Excito/community-b3-kernel I get the directory communit...

Re: Arch Linux on B3

It is very interesting idea to running Arch linux on Bubba 3, but can one do this on Bubba 2 too?

Re: Kernel 3.2 for B2/B3

Hello everyone, After wheezy install image and u-boot update, I managed to patch and compile a 3.2.61 kernel package for the bubba3 and the bubba|two. I choose this version because it's the one debian uses in wheezy. It runs apparently fine on my b3 and on my b2, so I need some volunteers to test i...

Re: B2 rev RD serial access

And because of uboot that I have now on my Bubba 2, the newest kernels can't be installed on my Bubba2, right? The u-boot bug that prevent newer kernel from booting does not affect the Bubba 2. You can boot it with newest kernel without upgrading u-boot. So, I can to install the linux-image-3.2.0-4...

Re: B2 rev RD serial access

3. From where can I download the uboot image? 3. Maybe you should explain what you're trying to do now. If you're still on a b2 you should know that there is no uboot image available for download AFAIK. Yes, I'm still on my Bubba 2. I'm trying to install on Bubba 2 the newest kernel available. Now ...

Re: B2 rev RD serial access

Can I use a regular A-B USB cable as is described at this link bellow? http://forum.excito.net/viewtopic.php?t=1000 Short answer : No You need some logic to convert TTL signal to RS-232 (and then to USB if you don't have a serial connector on your PC). All right! A have finally the FTDI cable. 1. I...

Re: Building Custom kernel v. 3.2.51 for Bubba2

A good start would be to copy the bubbatwo_defconfig to linux-3.2.51/.config and run make oldconfig. Then you can run make menuconfig to adapt if you wish. Dont't forget to set the variables ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE before runinng the make commands. Good luck and please keep up posted of your progres...

Re: uboot update needed.

So essentially this means that you need to have the serial console access to be able to upgrade uboot and thus it is not for the faint-hearted to prep their B3 for running a 3.x kernel. Can I use this image bellow for my Bubba2 too, to connect to the serial port? http://wiki.mybubba.org/wiki/index....

Re: uboot update needed.

Hi, I red this very interesting topic from the beginning, but I'm not quite sure what should I do with my Bubba2 to get on it a running kernel version 3.2.51? I run as root the command on my Bubba2: strings /dev/mtd0 | grep "U-Boot " and get the output: VU-Boot 1.3.4-00056-gf6f51b1-dirty (...
