Release of A20_SDK_V2.9.4

Hi@all,

the release of A20_SDK_V2.9.4 happened … Don’t forget to do a make mrproper && make init_sdk … also do a make get_toolchain … it is updated to the latest void-linux versions.

Note, that i deprecate some devices, namely Nanopi, Bananapi-Pro and the Olimex. The reason is, that they have contact looses and/or already died.

Also Note, that there`s no base and full image anymore, but not all scripts are fully migrated. As a workaround i would suggest to name the rootfs tarball you want (for example a20_sdk_musl_rootfs.tgz) to a20_sdk_rootfs.tgz and then use a20_sdk_make_sdcard.sh as always. This will be fixed with the next release!

Cheers
Thorsten

Toolchain update

There`s an updated version for the a20_sdk toolchain available (see https://sourceforge.net/projects/a20devices/files/). It reflects the latest void-linux (https://voidlinux.org/) changes. This is the first step for the upcoming next release A20_SDK_V2.9.4.

It will be also the first release of the migration path from only glibc based images to glibc and musl images. With A20_SDK_V2.9.5, the split of base and full image will be removed (see also https://tjohann.wordpress.com/2020/11/16/rework-on-a20_sdk-images/)

So stay tuned … a lot of new cool stuff will come 🙂

Cheers

Rework on A20_SDK images

I will rework the actual images to support also musl as an image. The plan is to remove the full images and make the base image to a glibc image. Then add a new musl based image. In the end i will support 2 different libc.

Convert images (from to)

Full Image -> remove

Base Image -> glibc

The new Image -> musl

The change will happen during the next weeks. So with A20_SDK_V2.9.4 the conversion will start.

Cheers

Release of A20_SDK_V2.9.3

Release of A20_SDK_V2.9.2

Hi@all,

i released A20_SDK_V2.9.2 wich support a new device -> https://linux-sunxi.org/Sinovoip_Banana_Pi_M3 . This release also included some bug fixes in the supporter scripts.

Images are uploaded, binpkgs with emacs-gtk* packages are also uploaded.

Normally a new device would lead to a A20_SDK_V2.10.0, but i will also add another device -> https://linux-sunxi.org/Xunlong_Orange_Pi_Zero . The reason for this is the good support of jailhouse hypervisor.

So the update to A20_SDK_V2.10.0 will happen when the Orange Pi Zero is included.

So stay tuned …

Thorsten

Release of A20_SDK_V2.9.1

Hi@all,

i released A20_SDK_V2.9.1 wich includes first parts for a new device https://linux-sunxi.org/Sinovoip_Banana_Pi_M3 . Images will follow at the weekend.

Why Bananapi-M3? Because it`s one of the out-of-the-box devices in FreeBSD 🙂

Cheers

Integrationtest of A20_SDK_V2.9.0

Hi@all,

all of my basic integrationstest finished with positive results.

Some common hints:

• if you use a20_make_sdcard.sh make shure you installed killall and psmisc
• if you use distcc, pls check /etc/distcc/clients_allow for the correct IP`s

Cheers

Thorsten

Release of A20_SDK_V2.9.0

Hi@all,

i`m happy to announce that a new bigger release of my A20_SDK is out. The git repo is already up to date and the images will follow at least on friday.

Due to some problems with dhcpd i decided to use dhclient and let my dhcpd setup the ip address. If you want to do it with static ip`s then pls see UPGRADE_HINTS for more infos.

Finally the cubietruck-plus works with all cores 🙂

Cheers & have fun
