Has anyone successfully installed picuntu 4.5 on mk802IV ?
I 've read many posts and tried many soluton but, it doesn't work.

Thanks!

Buon Giorno, I installed PicUntu on my 16B mk802IV by just following the 1st post of this thread. It works everytime.

Can you point to a compiled ROM that can be directly downloaded into the TV stick like version 4.5 for testing. With of course the 3D drivers.

Initial tests were excellent except of course the video thing.

If you just want to try then I've created an updated Ubuntu 12.04 RFS with the necessary kernel modules and binary userspace drivers which you can download and boot from on https://plus.google.com/109451178006...ts/NEWG6Mtz5U7

Kernel + Driver
3D = yes
Video = not at the moment...

if video and 3d acceleration would work

Is there a picuntu distribution available yet that takes advantage of the newly compiled 3d mali drivers. I would be interested in giving linux a second shot if video and 3d acceleration would work. Thanks.

I second that.

Hi,

I am not able to find a way to fix the "Heartbleed" openssl issue on my Picuntu.
Any howto about that?
apt-get doesn't seem to find the new versions of openssl and libssl.so.1.1.0

Hi there,

I don't expect any sympathy - I tried the ROM on a HX8-C which is a 3188 CS968 clone. I now have a fairly unresponsive device.

What happens is my PC does see the device through USB but the device identifies itself as VID_0000&PID_0002 so windows thinks it is a hub. No idea what is happening on the device side as there is nothing on the screen and the leds are in there usual standby state.

Tried putting a good ROM on an SD card named update.img but no luck there either

Tried shorting pins 7&8 on but the device connects anyway so it didn't make any difference. Device just connects wrong and windows tries to use its own hub drivers.

Any thoughts, tips or words of encouragement greatly received.

**** EDIT ****
Got it going - not sure which pins I was shorting in the end but held the pins shorted, press the reset button then released the pins.. tried different pins eventually it work!

no linux though - don't think I'll do that again

Is there any chance this can get repacked with .72+ kernel sources?

When you're at it, why not .101+ sources?

Signature? Signature!

I still haven't been able to solve the issue with the screen going black every 8 to 12 seconds. Could someone please help me out? Otherwise running linux on my device is pointless.

Thanks

But where I can find the rights bootloaders, kernel and so on. On the picuntu site the links on the previous versions are dead.
And I thought that the modules were standradised for rokchips cpus.

But one more problem is, that the Linux3188 at the moment does not support HW Acceleration and so I think the 4.5 at the moment is not really helpful with a 3066 Kernel, but at slatedroid there is a thread about Picuntu RC2.2 and upgraded to RC3 including the current partial Mali HW Acceleration support for the mk808...
