How To: MK908 NAND Install (Working krnl source available too)

[czlowiewkzmarsa]

I tried the new kernel, unfortunately it won't even boot it stays on GOOGLE TV logo. I tried your previous kernel and it boots to ubuntu but restarts after a minute.

I'm using attached kernel which works perfectly, it is 720p but I don't mind I'm using it as a sever. I don't know if github repository is available for this kernel

Dual Boot

You have a nice kernel, but can you tell how use that in dual boot( Kernel replace recovery image)?
I don't like lose android facilities, and for browser and video play is so simple in android.(sorry about my english, i am brazilian)

If you want to have both android+linux I would recommend you to use chroot for ubuntu https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...nandroid&hl=en you can do almost anything and run it at the same time android+ubuntu, performance is also not so bad

Not work so good. System IPC is not avaliable by defult in kernel, and other stuffs, so apps like firefox and chrome don't work.

For dual boot you need filesystem image on SD card, and kernel that can boot to SD card flashed to recovery.

So you can open terminal on android and type:

su
reboot recovery

To go to recovery kernel, which boots the SD card filesystem.

There are many threads on how to do this here, but for mk908 you will need my recovery kernel here: https://github.com/tyeo098/Rockchip-GPL-Kernel

I think I've repaired the kernel with regard to the reboot issues.

I'm running it now... no reboots.

Anyone else wanna try? Binary + source on my github: https://github.com/tyeo098/MK908-Kernel-NAND

Edit: Damn, it just rebooted on me. This is with the kernel CZ gave me... which was supposed to not reboot? Very strange.

Where is initramfs.cpio?

I tried to compile from your link and compilation is ok, but i can't create a recovery image becouse in compilation i can't see initramfs.cpio file. In kernel nand compilation this file is generated in root directory folder. I tried to use the initramfs.cpio from NAND with the image kernel from Rockchip-GPL-Kernel, but it freeze in the TV logo after reboot to recovery.

Well that initramfs will only work for NAND kernel.

Try this one: http://tyleryeomans.com/rk/initramfs...linuxium+.cpio

Rename it to whatever the file calls for

Hi Tyeo,

Many thanks for this thead !
I tried your first kernel and my mk908 v5.0 was rebooting very often. I tried this new kernel, and it seems it works very well! At least uptime is more than one day now.

Wifi

Hi! All works great, but internet don't works. I've connected to wifi, but i cant load any webpage. What shall i do?

I have MK908v3.

[tyeo098]

Which kernel did you use?

Try:

ping google.com

Then

sudo ping google.com

If the sudo works then you have a paranoid kernel...

(Please keep Snowden safe comrade.... )

Finally it did last very long after my post. It is still rebooting from time to time. I haven't identified what's going wrong yet...

Download not working.

Hi,

I try your kernel with a MK908v3 but the screen always flicker and often dark. So I like to download the latest version.
