Hey, looking forward to hearing from you when this is finished. Just wanted to remind you to keep your replies on list if a discussion started there... -Michael On Sun, 2014-10-05 at 01:01 +0200, Jochen Kauz wrote: > Hi Michael, > 1. as I written in another post, sharing is caring.. we have the > kernel sources and we build them from sources that we publish at our > github repo or our own gitlab, and we respect in every way the GPL and > the idea of FLOSS. > 2.

Rockchip RK3188 Radxa Rock
by Jochen Kauz 04 Oct '14

Hi list, I'm a member of CrewRKTablets and we make development of custom kernels and roms for rockchip based devices, mostly tablets. But we have one toy that we find interesting to try a port to, the Radxa Rock of Tom Cubie, a rk3188 based development board. It has a quadcore Cortex-A9 1.6GHz, 1-2GB RAM, WLAN, ethernet, 2 Host USB 2.0, 1 USB OTG, serial and much more. We are running at this point Ubuntu 14.04 with 3.0.36 kernel on it. Now Astralix and me want to get IPFire on it running. We have kernel sources for 3.0.36, 3.10.37 and uboot. I have read a little bit in the history of this list.. and I know we need grsecurity.. okay found patch sets for 3.0 and 3.10. But I think there are more things, could you please give me some more information what additional should be added to the kernel? Best regards JochenKauz
