Kitkat Kernels for All (well most!)

[dowap]

THe DMESG showed that the kernel had MTK6622 (BT on IO port 279) and ESP8089 (Wifi) drivers configured and they installed succesfully. The USB ethernet is supplied by a Corechips USB2.0 device (which is standard in most builds I think)

Try this kernel and report back with DMESG

Hi, thank you. But

That's how it all happens with this kernel in a circle, you can watch the clock)

Wow, that's pretty sweet! I hope this will be successful enough to continue on with next generation chips like the Rk3288.

I don't need another box, but will recommend this to anyone that shows interest.

If you know enough to get DMESG via ADB then it will really help me to understand what causes the reboot. In the short term I'll create a non-overclocked GPU/DDR version for you to test.

Thank you for testing.

Check this to see if the resolution appears

Unfortunatelly it is starting with 1920x1080 resolution.
BTW I am not sure whether I need to change the resolution manually.
I am using Bob's KitKat rom for A928 with the kernel you posted and I found no option to change the resolution as I did found it in the Bob's 1.6 rom for MK908II.

Do you need the Dmesg output?

Thank you for your support anyway!

rtl8723au wifi support

any chance to get rtl8723au wifi chipset support in a future kernel? There are a huge variety of boxes and sticks that use this chipset and it would certainly be a bonus to have your excellent kernel support this chipset..............

Thnx

It will always start with that in most custom ROMs. You need to change via settings.

... Yes please - always a DMESG!

I've added 2 RTL8723AS (GPIO high / low), a MT5931/MTK6622 and a AP6210 alternative GPIO kernels (CPU overclock only) to the test pack

Please report back

tried with rtl8723as no wifi but it boots fine.............thnx
seems there is rtl8723as rtl8723au and rtl8723bs just to make it interesting. I happen to need the rtl8723au version

no-go on the MT5931/MT6622, sound still works. Tried on NCR 3.1 and NCR MTK .9

Here is the dmesg output:

What is noticed is that if I use the kernel supplied with the rom there is an "HDMI" menu item in the settings. If i use the kernel you posted this menu item is not available.

I did try it with Bob's 2.0 beta2 rom.

DMESG please - without it I can't work out what's missing.

[m4f1050]

DMESG please

Yes, definitely.. I just got home so when I get situated I will get you the DMESG. One will be with NCR MTK .9 and another one with NCR 3.1.

EDIT: Here are 2 DMESG: 1 with NCR MTK .9 and 1 with NCR 3.1

every kernel past the beta ones i have tried results in 540p resolution on my tv and no sound, stick is a mk908ii, tried wasers kitkat rom for minix x7 which works ok with his kernel except for bluetooth and wifi, can set resolution and sound works ok, as soon as i switch kernels to D33 build im stuck in low resolution with no options to change to and no sound. tried on my pc monitor and all the resolutions show up and can set upto 1920x1080, cant test sound as monitor has no speakers, wasers kernel seems to handle hdmi better for my old lg tv(hd ready-720p)

These are both with my kernel. I need a stock kernel output to compare against. CAn you please upload? [for ref this is MT5931/MT6622 - MK809III]

The BT problem is because I have the wrong GPIO:

<4>[ 2.278914] mt6622_probe.
<4>[ 2.278936] mt6622 power_gpio is busy!
<6>[ 2.278965] [MT6622] mt_bt_power_init

The Wifi problem is ...?
