This the error line running your boot.img:

mount: mounting /dev/block/mtd/by-name/linuxroot on /mnt failed: No such file or directory
ERROR: No /sbin/init found on rootdev (or not mounted). Trouble ahead.
You can try to fix it. Type ‘exit’ when things are done.

You need to fix the root= in the parameter, or use a script like

https://github.com/TeeFirefly/in … ount/mtd-by-name.sh

in your initramfs to create the block device symlink.

Follow these commands to fix the parameter in your board:
sudo rkflashkit backup @parameter parm.txt # fetch parameter from board
sudo vi parm.t.txt # modify “root= /dev/block/mtd/by-name/linuxroot” to “root=/dev/mmcblk0p5”
sudo rkflashkit flash @parameter parm.txt # flash back parameter to board
sudo rkflashkit reboot # reboot the device

You might replace /dev/mmcblk0p5 above to fit your actual root dev.

Could you please provide one .img file in order to flash it with the upgrade function of the AndroidTool?

Or at least provide a “how to” flash slackware with this method.

Forget it. Just found out that you can assign the files separately.

Hi, Please reupload new Slackware Linux for Firefly. Links don’t work and say it’s forbidden when trying to download. Also which Slackware rfs to use? Can you share kernel source and how to compile

17

hi I’ve actually been trying to download the files directly off you website and theres a 500mb and 2gb ones i can’t seem to download because randomly anywhere upto 51mb worth of downloads it drops the connection and i have to start again. wouldn’t bother me but the bandwidth isn’t great, infact i average about 10kb a second. if i could resume where i left off in the download it would be great because then i could leave it running and it wouldnt matter if the connection drops, if possible can you fix that on your server end by any chance?or maybe upload it somewhere that has more bandwidth?

18

hi mara,

great work! especially getting drm + mali in combination with recent kernel running, great!

i tried to rebuild your slackware image based on mainline kernel using your advanced scripts on bitbucket (testing branch). only dont know what firefly .config you use? can you share your config file?
my goal is then to include vpu support with mainline kernel and in combination with x11 apps like kodi.

hope you are willing to share.

cheers – mac-l1

hi, mac-l1
recent changes have not yet had time to commit.
there is strangeness, rootfs flash on the nand, but in fact does not work booting, rootfs to pour himself sdcard
