Draco AW80 - LINUX, let's talk about...

[no_spam_for_me]

I think you saw the way I modified the .img to also fits to 8 GB SD...

You can also use the same way via fdisk to modify the partition table to get a bigger RFS partition (a little bit more complicate because of the extended partition you have to rebuild the hole partition table), BUT of course you have to do it at another Linux system...
And maybe after this you have to do a sudo resize2fs /dev/xyz (which you can do at the running system (online))...

I don't know, but you should also be able to handle it at eMMC/NAND, but of course not via fdisk but via one of the configuration files...
I think e.g. imgRePacker_205 could help http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1753473 BUT I had never done it before...
(I don't know if it is the u-boot.fex or another one... maybe also have a look at http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.p...ys-config-file)

RAM is a known problem (also at Android), nobody knows why you see not the hole RAM...

Cores, I can't remember what I saw at the system monitor, but I think I saw 8 cores, but maybe they disabled the LITTLE and only using the big at the moment...

now that 15.4 out hope changes can be saved to get that running seem to be more effort to have programers behind making it work

I keep getting the error "distribution template for Linaro/Trusty not found." trying to add app source.

Any One?!

Any One?!

Same here any ppa files not found.

It would be good if Tronsmart-draco-aw80-stock-firmware-release better ubuntu firmware this one not able to install apps on as ppa paths not working so impossible to install office or programs. Is this going to be updated at some point duel boot ok but being able to boot off SD and then use sada drive would be nice as well.

Because of the GPU support they have to use Linaro

No spam you are a data base of knowledge 😊 it would be great to have this working on the a80

Wanted to set up my Draco with OpenVPN service in bridge mode, however, it looks like the kernel was built without Bridge support!

Any change we can get a new build which supports bridge mode?

Would be good to have this running and update on this has tronsmart had anything progress I know most would want to have this working with ppa files being able to work, bridge is broken in the kernel.

hey guys.. i have a problem . when i install Ubuntu on my device using Pheonixcard by this image "Draco+AW80_Ubuntu_20150204"
Drives are partitioned in a 5gb for linux and a 10gb not formatted space. is there anyway i can install linaro using whole 16gb? and by the way i saw that linaro has released some newer versions than this one . is there a way to install latest linaro on tronsmart a80? thanks guys

[kordev]

for a developer Ubuntu is far better than android. i managed to use imgrepacker tool to change the partition size.. i only edited sys_partition.fex with text editor and repacked the image all using /noiso option. i don't think resizing partitions would be that easy but anyways I'll update the results very soon

[kordev]

that changed nothing! somebody please help me!

Forgive my noobness....I only own a Mac (OSX 10.7.5) ....is there a way to do a Ubuntu install on Draco AW80? or even with an SD card? I suppose I could bring my AW80 to my uncles home and use his PC, but he running Vista so it scares me.

Any ideas, on my easiest install path?

From a side note, I would potentially keep the Android install but it really annoys me that Youtube app does not work on my Draco AW80. I have tried a dozen older Youtube versions, and no luck. Only via XBMC does Youtube play vids. I would prefer Ubuntu though.

Thanks So Much

There's an image of ubuntu which you can just write to sdcard using the dd command. Dont know if dd is available on osx.
Here is the image http://www.armtvtech.com/armtvtechfo...?f=578&t=79729

Apply the nexus 10 spoof and it should work.
