Great work and works great! TNX!

Is there a way to get it multibooted with ubuntu? That way I can get libhybris and kodi on it - with smoother VPU support for linux..

Can unpack UGOOS Linux dual-boot 15.04 firmware.
Replace boot.img, kernel.img, system.img, resource.img, parameter, bootloader with that of Firefly Lollipop firmware that was unpacked into separate images..
Have to edit parameter file to have Linux partitions.

Can root firmware with Superuser, also instructions on crewtablets forum.
Then install a reboot app.
Reboot to recovery.
It will boot to Linux.

good job on the sdk im using in for the tronsmart r28 but that irrelevant to the sdk. My heart sunk when i seen we are still using dwc_otg_310 usb drivers i thought that would have been fixed will just keep on using the otg port. Which is why we need the usb setting remembered on boot. Im going to look into the other driver myself just to pass some time apart from that one thing its look great guys good job.

Yeah, the dwc_otg_310 driver is a nightmare.
Hope someone can fix it before the end of the year if possible.
On my RK3368 device, which I think uses a different USB host/otg driver/manufacturer I don’t have any key-repeats with my Mele Airmouse but on my RK3288 device I still do.

no its because we should be using the dwc2 driver instead of the dwc_otg_310 driver. i tried adding the one from linux kernel maser but had a missing header file which i copied over but looks like the usb system would need updated . It a lot to change all the usb stuff so i see what state the drivers/staging one is at and see if it can be done easier.

Wico, My Friend

Thank you for including the RK3368 build, Tronsmart’s release was incomplete and some what old. Working with the Firefly again and am enjoying the learning experience. The release comments do provide much help and I for one again Thank-You for not editing out these insights to reduce storage. Read is like a fine book.

Thanks as always–cappybob

When I use a serial debug, firefly shows “shell@firefly-rk3288:/ $” shell and it works well with adb shell. But I only see the “Android Logo” on screen. Please let me know how to solve it.

Thanks.

I’ve got the following compiling error. My cross compile environment is ubuntu 14.04 on windows host …

looks like something is a miss on your cross compile somehow. cd in to your firefly directory and issue a

. build.sh

dont forget the .

then do a make clean then make -j8

You can download GAPPS here - http://dl.radxa.com/rock2_square/source/vendor_gapps.tgz

You should add “include xxx.mk” like below

ifeq ($(strip $(BUILD_WITH_GOOGLE_MARKET)),true)
include vendor/google/gapps_kk_mini.mk
endif

Note : the gapps_kk_mini.mk is under vendor/google/
