You might be disappointed with such Kernel version number.īut this 3.16 LTS will be updated until April 2020 by official Linux maintainers. Almost everything worked out of the box including GPU and VPU on ODROID-C2. He made a tons of great patches against vanilla Kernel 3.16. In late January ‘2018, a forum member ‘scpcom’ posted an amazing news about very promising LTS Kernel port. You can monitor the mainline kernel development status in this forum thread.
Therefore, we couldn’t enjoy 2K/4K videos and we have to wait until the VPU driver is implemented in Kernel 4.18 or 4.19. Originally, version 3.14 was an LTS(Long Term Support) Kernel.īut it reached End of Life in late ‘2016.įrom late last year, we’ve internally tested 4.14 LTS and 4.16 mainline Kernel on the ODROID-C2 platform.īasic functionality was acceptable including the GPU 3D acceleration.īut there was no hardware video acceleration(VPU) driver in the mainline kernel yet. We’ve used Kernel 3.14 for ODROID-C2 almost two years. I hope we can run the mainline kernel officially before Christmas. If you are interested in running the mainline Kernel 4.17 or higher, visit this forum thread.Īs far as I heard, most of key features are working well including the Mali OpenGL acceleration.īut the video decoding HW acceleration still has some issues. Ubuntu Minimal image is available in this link too. You can find the OS image link from this WiKi page. So you must update the kernel after installing the OS image with “ sudo apt update & sudo apt dist-upgrade” command. Recently, a developer tobetter made a nice workaround and patched the kernel source.
But there was a critical issue with OpenGL-ES applications due to the malfunction of mmap driver. In fact, we released this image a couple of weeks ago. Kernel header package is improved to support the DKMS driver buildĬ2play command line video player compatibleĬlick this image to see the OS information in detail. Linux Kernel 3.16.57 LTS updated from discontinued 3.14 (this 3.16 LTS Kernel was ported by user scpcom and other forum members) Ubuntu 18.04 LTS AARCH64 Bionic Beaver with Mate Desktop
