@george Can the kernel from https://github.com/yanyitech/coolpi-kernel work with Armbian image?
I installed Armbian image (from Onedrive) on my Notebook-v20 and got kernel 5.10.
So I tried to upgrade the kernel. but there is no dir /boot/firmware to copy to.
and when I created /boot/firmware dir and copy /out/ to it.
I got " No space left on device"

thank in advance.

i was trying to build the kernel, but after following the instructions i only get a blinking cursor on reboot.

Usually caused by incorrect recognition of file system partitions, pay attention to checking the cmdline.

Hello everybody,

I can't download any images. Do you have any recent links?

Thanks. It seems that in Ubuntu (24.04) there's no exfat support compiled. How to modify the script or the settings to get it compiled?
Thanks in advance

Modify the config file as shown in the following figure, then recompile and replace the kernel.

@george

Nice. Thanks

@george any reason this isn't already built in into the published images?

[george]

@Momo-0
The mirror in May will include this modification.

[Momo 0]

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

[george]

@Momo-0
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

This post is deleted!

[petersen77]

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

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.
