The mirror in May will include this modification.

@george any chance you could include the wireguard kernel modules too in these images?

Apply the following patch and compile to replace the kernel.

@george said in Cool Pi Cm5-Laptop Linux Quick Start Guide:

@yfblock
Test several USB drives and find a USB 2.0 interface drive. There may be compatibility issues with USB3.0.

interesting conversation… I wonder if the notebook/ SoC is supported something like a uefi boot already, from your suggestion it seems like the case, no?

@ngavarta just got mine, can’t wait to hands on my new toy

@george

EXFAT is still not in the kernel. It also seems that the building process is broken, so I can't implement it. Please check.

Best regards,
Peter

@petersen77

append this to file arch/arm64/configs/coolpi_linux_defconfig , compile kernel and install to /boot/firmware

CONFIG_EXFAT_FS=y

@berkaroad The generated files are not complete so WiFi, opengl and many more is not working.

[Momo 0]

can we get some updated instructions in general? The repo on the first page doesnt seem to be the current one, and every build i do from the Current one doesnt seem to boot on my laptop.

[petersen77]

@Momo-0 The same here, I cannot replace the standard kernel with EXFAT support.
