Linux loop in mk908 - system V IPC

I'm not a developer, and my english is very poor, i use your rom and like that. I want be able to get linux in our mk908. the two ways is loop linux in android and use vnc to acess linux, or boot linux with a proper kernel(probly replaced recover image). I not found a correct kernel image to boot linux in our mk908. I can easy use linux in android by loop image and chroot(Android deploy or Complete Linux Installer), the problem is the androdi kernel, by default system V IPC is not implemented, so aplications like firefox don't work. I not know if system V IPC is realy the problem. Finles, you can provide a android kernel with system V IPC enabled, or at least give your sources to try compile?? Anyone have linux sucess boot in MK908?

Risk the extra money and buy a minix x7

Look for the radxa board... it's more likely a developer board than like a usb stick but it's a good board (I think)... look at it: radxa.com

After I installed this ROM, micro USB doesn't work any more. I tried both, USB mouse and USB stick.
It was ok before...

Do you know how to fix this problem?

sharing the happiness

I have a mk908 V3. Upgraded from finless 1.6 to 1.7a today and I'm HAPPY. Of the three problems I had two of them are not resolved. HuluPlus now works out of the box. HDMI passthrough is now available. I tested it with a DTS video over DLNA. I still cannot sync my BT headset. Good job !

Why you think i am italian?

However, i am tempted to buy a radxa rock, but i guess i will wait for the next version featuring rk3288 version which is apearing first quarter of 2014 (the soc... board has no shedule yet)

I saw vienna and maybe I misinterpretated it as venise or something like that )) You're australian :P You're right about the new proc... but at first it will all be the same issue as the rk3188 with no linux support and all king of issues installing linux on it. Will the price be lower than the same as the rk3188? I doubt it... honestly, performance speaking, I have absolutely no need for the rk3288... maybe in two years it will be different, but right now... I'm happy with my mk908 except that it's not running Linux.

Okay that's like twice as much money, and why do you say "risk the extra money"? I mean, if I'm taking a risk on a product I'm not going in twice as hard with an unknown device. Is it actually better or is it just better in specs? That statement sounds like a suspicious shill

I'm starting to think since I can't find anything about input lag on the MK808b I'll just stick with that model and get a USB-Ethernet adapter.

I just looked at that and I /REALLY/ like this already. Downside I'll have to invest in a case for it, but at the specs it looks fantastic.

EDIT: holy crap it comes with a case. **** everything else this is my new baby.

Might get an Mk808b for one room and this for the main tv...

Probably a bit bad spelled, definitely the minix is the better choice of most of those android devices, but the radxa device looks even more promising. I just stay with my mk908 because i have not much time to play with it anyways and need my money for other stuff. At the point when i have enough time again (not before summer) there will probably be a radxa rock2 probably anyway...

Man this is a vast improvement over the day one stock rom. I almost just threw this stick in the trash. I didn't want to sell it to anyone because I wouldn't wish this one on anyone. But I got to say Fineless Bob has got this one useable. All I bought the MK908 for was one purpose running XBMC and it couldn't even do that. With Finless 1.7a Rom this is now possible and on Wi-Fi without the need for Ethernet cable plugged up all the time. For this I am truly grateful. YOU THA MAN FINLESS

Yep comes with a case, wifi and 8 gig NAND memory? What could you ask more ? Yeah it's a lot more expensive but I noticed that it could even multiboot (android, linux).

If only I would have known about this board sooner but on my side. However, it's already bought... but right now we're in the middle of China new year and must wait till this holiday period is completed... Tuesday next week! If you want to save on shipping, http://www.seeedstudio.com offer free shipping through HK air mail.

Do you know how to fix this problem?

COMPLETELY, uninstall the drivers. Then RESTART your computer. When the computer is shutting down disconnect the device. Once the computer restarts connect the device by holding the reset button and plugging in the USB cable. Open your Device manager. There should be an unknown device there. Right click it go to properties and install the drivers again from 1.7a folder. Restart your computer. When the computer is shutting down disconnect the device. Once the computer restarts connect the device by holding the reset button and plug in the USB cable again.(If the light doesn't come on and no sound is made when it connects again, don't worry as long as it shows up in the Device manager. YOUR GOOD. Open the Batch loader and as long as the #1 position is green your good to load the firmware. Navigate to the 1.7a folder then install the firmware.

Hope this helps

AA++ Finless Thank you
