Recent UDOO updates

Hi,

I'm seeing that you're releasing new binary versions of u-boot and kernel/modules.

Why UDOO patched u-boot source code is not available?
Why Kernel_Unico is not being updated as this last update?

I'm using a custom version of kernel because I need to include some modules that is not included in your binary version. So please, make the commits on your repository.

Thanks,

were the downloadable IMG files updated? it seems they are still v1.2 from before

 

anyone?

 

Go there : http://www.udoo.org/downloads/#tab2
U-boat and Kernel are update.
For automatic update : http://www.udoo.org/update-procedure/
This update will upgrade the uBoot (release 1.2 version v.89) and Kernel (release 1.2 version v.87) to the latest available release. None of your data will be deleted, nor your installed applications but, if you made changes to the uBoot's environment variables, those will be lost after the update.

 

That does not answer my 2 initial questions:

Why UDOO patched u-boot source code is not available?
Why Kernel_Unico is not being updated as this last update?

 

Successfully downloaded and extracted the U-boot update, but can't get it to load onto SD card.
Executed: sudo ./udooupdate.sh but get error "can't guess the UDOO cpu (use -c CPU option).
I'm total newbie to Linux. Thanks for any help.

Each they need to edit the usage comments to explain what values are valid for the -CPU option. Is it looking for "dual" vs "quad" or "2" vs "4" ? Etc.

 

I successfully created a new Ubuntu boot disk using win32DiskImager per tutorial. It all worked. Thanks for a clear procedure that even a noob can follow!


I used the udoo_quad_ubuntu_1.2.img file. Is this the most current or do I still need to do the "update"?

Thanks

 

Nope that's the most recent, you all good to go (for now until there is a new update).

 

Thanks.

On a related note, when I put either the Arduino or Linux boot SD into my USB card reader, it doesn't seem to see any file structure, telling me I need to format the card before using it. I declined (duh) but am curious why nothing shows up.

 

the card is formatted in ext3 I think, something windows cant read.

 

I assume you have plugged the card into Windows using NTFS. The Linux filesystem (EXT3) is not recognized. That's why most memory sticks are formatted as FAT32. Windows, Linux, Mac, cameras and just about every gadget can recognize FAT32. Unfortunately it is an old 'primitive' file system good enough for sticks which are the modern equivalent of floppy disks. 'Sneaker Net' will never die

 

Confirmed!

 

-c quad worked after I got the "Can't guess the UDOO cpu" error.
