The kernel has parameterization of several things like GPIO lines. It defaults to the mk802iv ap6210 settings.
I added two defconfigs for the t428 and qx1 to show how it works. (just compare them with the mk802iv defconfig)
I also added a platform "picuntu3188" to my marvin build tool:
Marvin - Android kernel build tool. Contribute to phjanderson/marvin development by creating an account on GitHub.
To build a kernel, do the following:
Code:./marvin platform picuntu3188 ./marvin config t428 1080p ./marvin build
Oh, and I also added the ethernet driver for the X7, should work with the t428 config (not all drivers for other devices such as IR and analog audio are added yet though).
leolas.REMEMBER, YOUR FEEDBACK IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US.My devices:
Minix Neo X7; Minix Neo X8-H , Minix Neo Z64W & Z64 (Sponsored by Minix)
MK902 & MK902II(Sponsored by RKM)
Beelink M8B & Beelink R89 (Sponsored by Beelink)

Code:depmod -a
I've taken what I think are the right modules from Lewy's Hybrid ROM for the K-R42. They are 8188eu.ko and rk29-ipp.ko.
Put both files into /lib/modules (also tried /lib/modules/3.0.6+/kernel), and ran "sudo depmod -a". No errors or other feedback, but nothing appears to be working afterwards; There are no network interfaces showing up.
Next I tried just using insmod, but got: "Unknown symbol in module" for the 8188 driver, and "Invalid module format" for the RK29 ethernet driver.
Now I'm not really familiar with how this all works, so I apologize if I've got something wrong!
Does anybody have a suggestion, or should I just wait more patiently for K-R42 support to be baked in?

Finally got my wifi chipset 8188eu working out of the box
After a long trial , I finally managed to compile a kernel for picuntu which recognizes my chipset rtl8188etv vid=0bda pid=0179 out of the box.It should also work for rtl8188eu. I would like to thank Mr. mmm123 and leolas for helping me and Mr. Alok sinha for such a wonderful distro.....
Thanks..
In the meanwhile, I will try to upload the kernel, if somebody is interested to try, they can..

So my questions are: 1) does PicUntu support 'Minix Neo X7' (or another with many same audio & USB ports), its WiFi and all its many ports, less GPU hardware accel & Bluetooth ?, 2) Only reason I want to change Android to Linux is to run Inkscape, Postgres, LibreOffice, VLC MediaPlayer, XBMC and maybe a few other open-source apps that currently run on my Windows laptop. As I have no linux experience, is PicUntu near enough to standard Ubuntu to allow simple installation of these, i.e binary image, not compiling source code ?
2. XBMC will not work, effectively, till we resolve the hardware acceleration issue - this is some time away.
3. Yes, picuntu allows all (almost all) ubuntu 13.04 installs with command apt-get install <name of package>

It's nice... wifi (ap6210 chip) works out of box. my monitor is 1080p and screen is too. I can't test the sound over HDMI because I'm using DVI using HDM converter.
Glad you liked the distro.

Bluetooth Driver......????
Originally posted by shaan_npl View PostFollowing every possible way suggested, I could not make my wifi chipset work with this release of picuntu. Decided to open my box, sharing here what I found. 1. Wifi chipset is Realtek RTL8188ETV (dmesg gives me VID=0bda PID=0179) 2. Bluetooth Chipset is RDA 5876 (ES162242), info at http://www.rdamicro.com/products/Detail_194.aspx. I tried to search for bluetooth driver, couldn't get any but found out the source code for it. It can be obtained below.... http://www.freaktab.com/attachment.p...0&d=1381484085 I hope it would be useful for the developers... Dear Alok, can you compile the driver for bluetooth please...? At least it would solve one problem....Thanks
