Hi, Does anyone know where the gen_loader.py and generate_ptable.sh scripts mentioned on this page https://github.com/96boards/documentation/wiki/UEFI under the "Build UEFI for HiKey" section are located? I'm building UEFI and arm trusted firmware from source, but without those scripts can't create the final image to flash. regards, Peter.

wifi

by David Rusling

All, what is working / not working on the HiKey board. I've tried both the on board wifi plus a RealTek usb wifi, neither works for me. I don't think that the drivers are seeing the hardware and they're certainly not loading firmware. By the way, the USB wifi works fine under x86 linux.

96Boards kernel maintenance...

by Scott Bambrough

Hi Everyone, I'd like to announce that Jorge Ramirez-Ortiz has volunteered to act as the maintainer and gatekeeper for the 96Boards Linux kernel. Since 96Boards is a community effort we need person to actively handle merge requests and manage the branches in the kernel. Jorge has graciously volunteered to do just that. Please join me in thanking him for volunteering his time. At this time I would like the kernel on GitHub become the main kernel for the HiKey board. So at this time I would like all who have access to the internal kernels used for bringup to stop using them and switch to the publicly available kernel on GitHub. Please submit patches for inclusion to the kernel against this tree: https://github.com/96boards/linux I'll let Jorge work out how he can work best with the 96Boards community. I'm sure he will do a stellar job and I look forward to him working with the community in the future. Regards, Scott -- Scott Bambrough Technical Director, Member Services Linaro

Kernel tree

by Koen Kooi

Hi, The kernel tree for 96boards boards is located here: https://github.com/96boards/linux It currently has three branches: 1) 'hikey' - 3.18 based hisilicon vendor kernel for the hikey board 2) 'master' - unmodified Linus Torvalds' linux, currently 4.0.0-rc1 3) 'hikey-mainline-rebase' - cherry-picked patches from the vendor branch rebased on top of latest Torvalds, currently 4.0.0-rc1 I don't know how the branch structure will evolve when more 96boards boards will surface, I guess someone will need to write a spec for that. The 4.0rc based branch seems to be at feature parity with the 3.18 branch: no output on my monitor, flaky wifi, unstable eMMC and uSD cards don't get detected. I'm using the dtb from 3.18 with that to get all the device data populated. Hopefully the rebased patches will be replaced (or in the case of the sysconfig patch: go away completely) with ones posted to lkml for review now that the Chinese New Year holiday period is coming to an end. Currently running on my board: root@hikey:~# uname -a Linux hikey 4.0.0-rc1 #110 SMP Wed Feb 25 16:36:46 CST 2015 aarch64 GNU/Linux root@hikey:~# uptime 11:33:12 up 4 days, 1:28, 2 users, load average: 1.00, 1.01, 1.05

latest kernel

by David Rusling

All, is there a git repository for the latest kernel? As an aside, I'm running Debian self hosting via an SSD and a usb ethernet dongle. This means that I can use Dracut to create the ramdisk. This is all 4.18 based and reasonably stable, although disk I/O seems slow and the file system does, after a few hours start giving errors. I'll start a Debian thread on the forum...

Any news on WiFi front?

by Paul Sokolovsky

Hello, Original "GettingStarted" PDF provided at Linaro Connect says "WiFi is coming soon to the HiKey build." Any updates on that matter? Based on wiki patches like https://github.com/96boards/documentation/wiki/HiKeyGettingStarted/_compare… I guess someone knows something ;-). Does it make sense to try the latest Debian snapshot build for example? Otherwise, with https://builds.96boards.org/releases/hikey/debian/15.02 , I tried to modprobe wl18xx, and then separately wlcore_sdio, they seemingly load without errors, but wlan0 interface is not created (or eth0).

md5sum's for download files

by Paul Sokolovsky

Hello, I had a fun half an hour figuring out why I can't bootstrap an initial fastboot connection with the serial loader. Turned out, my fastboot2.img file was missing few trailing kilobytes (I downloaded stuff with wget -r). So, it would be nice if there were MD5SUMS files to quickly check download integrity. I actually went ahead and added them for https://builds.96boards.org/releases/hikey and https://builds.96boards.org/releases/hikey/debian/15.02 , would be nice if they were available for future updates too.
