PicUntu-4.5-nand-BasicGUI installer - One file, few click install.

[subver]

For mk908 v5 you can try this steps.
1. Download Xubuntu image with ROM Flash tool https://docviewer.yandex.com/?url=ya...04-core-vmk.7z

2. Download Kernel https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_kc...it?usp=sharing
or you can use kernel from Finless ROM 1.7a

3. Download Picuntu "System" image from first post. But i can't get to work with version much stability.
I've used system image of ubuntu 12 from this post http://www.gizfun.com/content/instal...ksmk908mk802iv
4. Run Rom Flash tool from step 1.
5. Put you device in flash mode, change path of "kernel" and "system" images according to steps 2 and 3, then flash you device.

6. Reboot. Note: if you have flashed this kernel https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_kc...it?usp=sharing you will see no output until boot process finished!

After all, probably you will need to resize system partition with commands

resize2fs -p /dev/mtdblock2
    mount -o remount,rw /dev/mtdblock2

Can someone explain whats different between the kernels for SD and NAND?
Is it only the CMDline stuff that needs to be changed? I cant seem to get my mk908 kernel to compile and boot...

gmtii's kernel fors fine for me... but its useless if I cant get mine to compile and boot lol
I need 1080p!

Hello.
Minix X7 :
Does it mean that if I replace the original kernel of the PicUntu 4.5-NAND-BasicGUI-kit with the picuntu-kernel-4.5.img found here https://github.com/phjanderson/Linux3188 the Mnix Box will run PicUntu with a working ethernet ?
Many thanks.

I did a search of the thread, but will Minix X7 work with this? From what I gather from other threads, wireless is not working. I read somewhere where hardware acceleration for XBMC is not working either but they are old posts.

Are those issues still outstanding or are they working now?

How to enable networking on paranoid kernels

Hi everyone,

I installed PicUntu on my MK908v3 using the downloads and instructions provided in post #78. Everything works fine and I would like to send a big thank you to everyone who made this possible. Eventually, I ran into the restrictions which are imposed by the "paranoid networking" which is compiled into this kernel. However, there is an easy way to solve this problem. If you want to give user "picuntu" access to the network you have to add the following lines to /etc/group:

netbtadmin:x:3001:picuntu
netbt:x:3002:picuntu
inet:x:3003:picuntu
netraw:x:3004:picuntu
netadmin:3005:picuntu

Simply add additional users to these groups and they can access the network. For wireless access add the user to the group "netdev"

That works too, but its easier to fix the problem than bandaid over it See my post LITERALLY right above yours. Its an mk908V3 kernel with paranoid wifi disabled.

Can't wait to try it. Thanks so much.
The only thing remaining is overclocking this baby to 1.6ghz. Then everything is perfect.

Yes, you will need to flash a recovery kernel (check out mine on github) for MK908V3 and put a rootfs on an SD card with label 'linuxroot'

Or follow my direction 3 posts above for NAND install to get rid of android.

Hi
thanks you for the reply. i have yesterday try one more time with picuntu 4.5 i have done this time what the post #78 says and now i have internet too (not for all programs but firefox works when i run it as root) but the graphics is bad. is it posible to work graphiks good or this is not posible yet?
every time i have try to flash only the recovery kernel my mk908 not boot.when i try to erese nand this stops very quickly in 2sec. and give me mesage (O.K.) but i think this is not eresed is this very important to erese nand? or i am ok becose my mk908 works with picuntu right now
i forget to tell you that i have flash the divice with the first (#1 post) full image. is this corect or i have to flash any newer?

Follow link in post 274. Follow those instructions for 1080P kernel and working wifi for all programs

[kotsos75]

Follow link in post 274. Follow those instructions for 1080P kernel and working wifi for all programs

ok i have done all steps but i dont know how to do the last one:
(But I love you guys. So here is the kernel source (and precompiled image) on my github, with paranoid wifi and other flag disabled. So you can fork and modify to your hearts content.

https://github.com/tyeo098/MK908-Kernel-NAND

ust run maker.sh which compiles and assembles the kernel source into something usable.)

i am going to this link and i don't understand how to do that. is any step by step guide? it looks very difficult to me
anyway i am very excited looking this mini pc working like real desktop
thanks

hi
ok now i have done everything and the graphics looking real good but now i have no internet the command (sudo insmod /lib/modules/rkwifi.ko.3.0.72+) says error could not load module.... no such file or directory
what i have done wrong this time?
i will start one more time everything from the begining i thing there was some errors when i have run the ./maker.sh this time i will try to make it correct

Easy there buddy, don't jump in to compiling without the proper knowledge of such things!

The source is available because some people (like me) like to tinker with the internal workings to change it. I provided that source because the MK908 NAND source was not available.

In that source, I also included link to pre-compiled image for people who do not want to or do not know how to compile: https://github.com/tyeo098/MK908-Ker...ter/kernel.img

Try flashing that

As for your wifi problem, did you move the module to the module to the kernel/drivers/net folder in Step 9?

Hi

thanks you very much
