D2Plug 2.6.32.55 new kernel available

[cbxbiker61]

D2Plug 2.6.32.55 is now available.

sudo ./README-D2PLUG-UPDATE.sh 2.6.32.55 (installs to /boot)

Disclaimer:  I don't have a D2Plug so I can't test this myself.  I do have a CuBox and I have tested the very similar code on a CuBox.  Maybe Marvell would be so kind as to send me a couple of D2Plugs for testing.

Kernel and modules are available from the following locations:

http://www.plugapps.com/mirror/with-linux/
http://www.xilka.com/sheeva/

Features CIFS, FUSE.  Other features can be added by request.

The kernel source is here, for those of you who need to compile custom modules.  It's no longer necessary for me to use dropbox for the kernel source, since you can access it on the plugapps mirror.

The nice feature would be adding support for HDMI/CEC with TDA19988 to control AV systems.

I installed on a SD on my D2Plug

Boots OK, but getting at boot time:

I guess I need to track down the source for hdmitx

Boots on my D2.

I have Debian Wheezy which has udev v175 which fails miserably on stock Kernel and this one also, had to use the stock udev (Ubuntu 10) which is v151 it seems to be related to Kernel being too old for udev v175.

Some reports something similar:

http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?topic=5965.0

It seems Kernel 2.6.39.4 is the ticket for Debian Wheezy on the D2

Just so you guys know...there is a lot of activity on 3.3.x for CuBox at git://github.com/rabeeh/linux.git.  The d2plug is going to be just about the same.  So if you know your way around the kernel, feel free to give it a go.  I'm working with rabeeh to get the issues ironed out on CuBox, so I don't have time to spend on D2Plug issues at the moment.

arch/arm/mach-dove/cubox-setup.c should be spun into d2plug-setup.c.

this case is need to recompile hdmitx driver for new kernel

you could download lattest kernel from D2plug download page

http://www.plugcomputer.org/downloads/d2plug/index.html

than need to do some porting

porting hdmi module code at "/driver/video/hdmi/" to new kernel 2.6.32.55

BTW, latest d2plug kernel code , hdmi is build in module, so if you finish porting, I think you could remove rootfs "/etc/rc.local" about insmod hdmitx.ko

I know this thread is rather old but is there any chance of adding support for OWFS? I am trying to do this myself but am not having an easy time. In particular I would like to see the perl, http, and owfs.

OWFS works through the FUSE kernel module.  FUSE is built-in to this kernel....so everything else is in userspace.
