Awesome job!

It would be great if you write-up a small HOWTO compile and build it with your patches.
Something like http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_odroidu2

[DooM]

Hey, good job!

Mali-Drivers also work with you build?
Can I get a short crash-curse how to flash?

Thanks for your work and greetings!

ODROID-XU does not have a mali gpu. Our SOC gpu is PowerVR SGX544MP3 GPU.
On our 4.2 BSP UI Hardware acceleration doesn't work, but in this build everything is work
For flashing you need USB-UART Module Kit.
You need reboot to fastboot, after that in serial console type
fastboot flash kernel zImage
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

then reboot.

[voodik]

Dear odroid, mdrjr
I have a some questions.
Can i include your Updater app in this build ?
Can i include gapps in this build ?

[odroid]

Yes, you can include Updater and Odroid utility in your image.

But the Gapps are not our product.

[hotochan123]

awesome work. but i noticed that my wifi dongles did not work () neither the one with RTL8188CUS chipset, nor the one with the RTL8191SU chipset)

[DooM]

ODROID-XU does not have a mali gpu. Our SOC gpu is PowerVR SGX544MP3 GPU.

Of course, sorry! I thought about my U3 as I wrote it

Sadly I have no UART-Extension... Is there any other way to get this on my XU?

connect a micro usb cable and "adb reboot fastboot" from a cmdline window

How is the performance compared to 4.2.2?

You should make .img file for installation
btw. GREAT WORK!

[voodik]

How is the performance compared to 4.2.2?

This is 1080p results with performance governor.

[voodik]

For instalation:
Soon i add Odroid Updater app and make update images.
But for now i don't have a any mirror where i can upload update images.

[jacakk]

Talk to XU devs, I think they will help you and give some space

[mdrjr]

Check my signature

[voodik]

Updates in first post.

[odroid]

We need the 1-click gapps installer which supports Android 4.4!

Or sources, for keeping gapps up to date

[jacakk]

Maybe this will help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthr ... ?t=2397942

[main.spec]

Something like that: http://goo.im/devs/BaNkS/GApps/4.4.2 (4-11_GApps_Minimal_4.4.2_signed.zip)

[voodik]

All this files for flashing from recovery, we don't have a recovery.
For now you can install gapps by copying files manually(or via adb push) and setting right permisions. All flashable zips have a update-script file, in this file you can see copy file locations and permissions.

[sert00]

You can follow this to install gapps.
http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=40

And i prefer this,rather than bank's one.I didn't tried yet on odroids the kitkat,but on my nexus 5 i use these.

[DooM]

An img-file would be nice
I've some DropBox-space I don't use, if you want I'll put it there...

Greets
DooM

[sert00]

...or a folder with a .sh script and gapps files.We execute the .sh and it do the work of copy-paste,give permissions etc.

Hello,

I've made a 1-Click installer for this too.. Should work on all Android 4.4.2 with Busybox Installed.

[kevintyk]

Thanks for this awesome image. I've managed to update my official 4.2.2 image to your port via the official updater.
However, the WIFI is not working.. It stuck at turning WIFI on, no matter the wifi dongle is plugged in or not. I tried both wifi module 2 and 3, but no luck..
Please let me know if I can do anything to help you figure out this issue.

The is the error screen:

[voodik]

I am waiting for wifi dongle, when i get it i can do more job
For now you can only send me logcat, lsmod, dmesg outputs.

I used the only known version to work on CM 11.

[jacakk]

What about single-img file for install this on eMMC or SD?
Like this one:
http://com.odroid.com/sigong/nf_file_bo ... XU&bid=200

[abn]

Already did... its somewhere in the forums.

[jacakk]

I was asking voodik for img file to install his fresh CM11

I was asking voodik for img file to install his fresh CM11

but voodik don't know how to make this image

Dear Odroid, du you have a script to make self_install images ? ))

[mdrjr]

We made those manually..

You can just dump a good image with dd..

dd if=/dev/sdX of=./yourimage.img bs=1M
xz -e -9 yourimage.img

Good to go

What about auto-resizing partitions at first boot? Will it work if voodik make image the way you have said?

Added Android Bluedroid USB HCI support.

We've been porting the AOSP 4.4.2 and most major features are working.
But we couldn't enable the Bluetooth at all.

Could you please tell me which Bluetooth devices are actually working?
A2DP stereo headset? or HID mouse/keyboard?

I am only paired with my smartphone, send files etc. I don't have a stereo headset or other bluetooth hid for test

p.s.
Do you removed all bluetooth support from kernel ?

I have the file in that directory, already. It's same name and same content. I checked with diff. Am I missing anything other than the file?

Not the same name, your file name is odroid-ts.idc rename it to odroidxu-ts.idc .

[k2doc]

Wow, nice eye. Thanks!!

I first flashed the device with the images you provided, and then replaced them with mine.

1. with all your images ==> works fine
2. flash zImage ==> works fine
3. flash system.img ==> does not work.
it showed me:

Code: Select all

[    7.380486] write to read-only section trapped, success
[    7.386264] Failed to execute /init.  Attempting defaults...
[    7.394380] Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel. See Linux Docume.
[    7.405441] Backtrace: 

I tried flashing cache and userdata, too. But it wan't helpful. Can you help me figure out what the problem is?

[voodik]

The problemm is ODROID not using ramdisk.
After build complete you need to make system.img with rootdir inside system partition.
You can make a script with this commands:

Code: Select all

cp -arp /your_cm_source/out/target/product/odroidxu/system /tmp/
cp -arp /your_cm_source/out/target/product/odroidxu/root/* /tmp/system/

mv /tmp/system/init /tmp/system/bin/
mv /tmp/system/sbin/adbd /tmp/system/bin/
cd /tmp/system
ln -s bin/init init
cd /tmp/system/sbin
ln -s ../bin/adbd adbd

/your_cm_source/out/host/linux-x86/bin/make_ext4fs -s -l 1073741824 -a system /tmp/system.img /tmp/system

and flash /tmp/system.img

Or you can use build.sh from bsp, but i not using it.

[k2doc]

Thanks again. Now I can see the shell via adb.

Another problem is that the device keeps showing this message:

Code: Select all

[   16.364901] PVR_K:(Error): BridgedDispatchKM: Initialisation failed.  Driver unusable. [4650, /home/myhome]

Why does this message include my home directory??

[voodik]

What kernel you flashed ?
The right kernel here
/your_cm_source/out/target/product/odroidxu/obj/KERNEL_OBJ/arch/arm/boot/zImage

[k2doc]

I used wrong binaries, now it works perfectly.

What kernel you flashed ?
The right kernel here

Hi, I'm codewalker.

I am very interested in your works.

I'm going to work porting kitkat for ODROID-XU.

I have some problems that's to use mass_storage service instead of MTP service and Bluetooth to support USB dongle type.

How can I build for odroid-xu?

Where I download device/hardkernel/odroidxu project?
