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

Here's my attempt for adding support for other devices to PicUntu:

https://github.com/phjanderson/Linux3188

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:

https://github.com/phjanderson/marvin

To build a kernel, do the following:

./marvin platform picuntu3188
./marvin config t428 1080p
./marvin build

All of it is untested as I haven't had time to install picuntu yet, but should work I guess.

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).

Good, thanks it will save some time to me, I am waiting for a usb to Ethernet device to arrive before try picuntu

I've installed this to my mk908 II without any additional step. It was easy just flashed rom.
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.

1. Get hold of the driver (lets say 8188eu.ko ) from another linux/android installation where it is working.
2. Put it in /lib/modules/kernel directory on PicUntu
3. Run

depmod -a

To get the modules loaded.

Hi there

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..

Picuntu Kernel for rtl8188etv and rtl8188eu chipset

And here is the kernel....
First Unzip it
Just erase the older kernel and flash this one with rkflash tool 1.37 , you are good to go...

Hi Alok,
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 ?

1. No at this point of time, I have not tested Minix Neo X7 - so cannot say for sure.
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>

Sound is good too... when you check it

Glad you liked the distro.

Thanks for sharing it with us, Alok!

Can you also share the ../mytools/4.8-mkalokimg.sh file? Looks like you have a handle shell script which I believe will help lots of people customize their own kernel. Thank you!

Could you pm me please...

[aloksinha2001]

This is brilliant! Many thanks for your work. This release is really really fast.

Glad you liked it.

Wifi now works on my K-R42, which is great - I have network connectivity

Bluetooth Driver......????

Following 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

Dear Alok Can you compile the driver for Bluetooth Chipset is RDA 5876 please (source file attached)...or at least if anyone could guide me to the basics of driver compilation from source... Thanks...
