Hello!

Thanks for this great project!

 

I've tried to clean install Armbian 4.2 with 4.1.6 kernel on Cubietrack. I've tried Debian Jessie and Wheezy.

I've been waiting up to 5 min, but can't find my Cubietrack in network.

 

Boot hangs on (from serial console):

Starting kernel ...

Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.

I've rad that default console on 4.x is HDMI. But there was no green LED blinks during 5 min from boot process start.

 

What did I do wrong?

PS: Armbian 4.2 Debian Jessie kernel 3.x works fine.

Power cycle. Ethernet sometimes hangs if you switch systems with reset only.

 

There is no led blinking on kernel 4.x 

 

... you can enlarge loglevel to 7 in boot.cmd / boot.scr to see more.

 

Images are tested. They work.

Hmmm..., really. It works!

PS: I have Li-Ion battery installed, so that's why NIC hangs on reset.

/sys/class/power_supply/* is not available in 4.x ?

Nope, we need different approach at the moment. Under development:

Already published but then I disabled because it doesn't work good.
