Hyperion Entertainment Message Boards

Hi All,

I compiled the alpha4 with the first PowerPC updates for testing today. Additionally I have added a kernel without the networking updates for a working PA Semi PWRficient Gigabit Ethernet.

New:

• PowerPC updates 4.16-1
• Phoronix articles, reviews and news stories covering Linux 4.16
• Linux Git log

Issue:

• The QorIQ DPAA Ethernet driver works but unfortunately it losts the connection after a while.

Download: vmlinux-4.16-alpha4-AmigaOne_X1000_X5000.tar.gz

Please test the alpha4.

Thanks,
Christian

Alpha 4 working fine!

DPAA Ethernet still stops working after a while.

FYI:

Cloning the Linux Git without version history:
With --depth=1 you download only the latest version of the Linux git repository. This saves storage space.

Hi Skateman,

The latest Radeon firmwares are already included in the Linux Kernel. You need the Radeon firmware directory only for kernel compiling.

Ahhh i see... so the Git Clone is only for having the files for kernel compiling

Is there a possibility that there is Radeon Hardware support with those new Firmwares? (for my R 250)
I will test it anyway tonight.
