After flashing on the card does it require any clean up steps ?

by **mdrjr** » Sat Aug 01, 2015 3:01 am

Hi all! What's the default SSH credentials? odroid/odroid doesn't seem to work for me.

Oh, it's just root with odroid for password.

I want to install kodi isengard on this server.

What do i have to install to run kodi i do not want a desktop enviroment just a clean server with kodion top of it.

by **mdrjr** » Sun Aug 02, 2015 2:09 am

Not intended for that. That's only for server.
On the future we'll release something like it.

Only Ubuntu packages, ODROID related information is updated via ODROID Utility.

I've just got my XU4 and this image was my 1st choice to test.

I've setup everything like I want and the system is running fine so far, BUT

I've connected two HDD's (they have there own power) with USB 3.0 and share them via network.

I can read from the network share with up to 80 MB/s but If I write something over the network, 9 MB/s is the best what I can get out.

Where is the problem? On my Odroid-C1 I had better wirte speeds (16 MB/s) and Read and Write where nearly the same.
I've updated mainly because of the Network Speeds.

Any Idea? There are no other USB devices connected, the server runs headless

I got the Odroid-XU4. When I first open it the 1st thing I noticed is how small it is.

Love how all the ports are full size. USB 3.0 and HDMI.

Installed the server on a eMMC 64GB and it booted right up fast. I set the root password first. "passwd root".

Looks like it don't use the full 64GB I did this but it must be wrong to resize it to the full size.

Code: Select all: root@odroid-server:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mmcblk0p2 3.1G 743M 2.2G 26% / none 4.0K 0 4.0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup udev 745M 4.0K 745M 1% /dev tmpfs 200M 292K 199M 1% /run none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock none 996M 0 996M 0% /run/shm none 100M 0 100M 0% /run/user /dev/mmcblk0p1 100M 5.2M 95M 6% /media/boot root@odroid-server:~# resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0 resize2fs 1.42.9 (4-Feb-2014) resize2fs: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/mmcblk0 Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock. root@odroid-server:~# resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2 resize2fs 1.42.9 (4-Feb-2014) The filesystem is already 800256 blocks long. Nothing to do! root@odroid-server:~#

How would I resize it to the full 64GB?

All so the "Getting Started with ODROID-XU4" paper that came with mine. I like to download a PDF of that. Is there a link to one. It's little and would be nice to read it on a computer zooming in how you want.

Thank you for the XU4. It seems to be working super good very happy I have it. Thanks for the Ubuntu server code too.

by **mdrjr** » Mon Aug 10, 2015 7:07 am

Run odroid-utility.sh and use the resize option.

by **Raymond Day** » Mon Aug 10, 2015 8:04 am

That is very good and easy. I did "odroid-utility.sh" I pick "4 Resize your root partition" and reboot and it worked.

Code: Select all: root@odroid-server:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mmcblk0p2 58G 756M 55G 2% / none 4.0K 0 4.0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup udev 745M 4.0K 745M 1% /dev tmpfs 200M 280K 199M 1% /run none 5.0M 4.0K 5.0M 1% /run/lock none 996M 0 996M 0% /run/shm none 100M 0 100M 0% /run/user /dev/mmcblk0p1 100M 5.2M 95M 6% /media/boot root@odroid-server:~#

Says 58G now. Was 3.1G before.

Thank you.

Never said if there is a PDF for the "Getting Started with ODROID-XU4"?

-Raymond Day

by **mdrjr** » Mon Aug 10, 2015 9:24 am

No, we don't have one yet. We have for C1 already.

by **Raymond Day** » Mon Aug 10, 2015 5:33 pm

Just scanned it to a .jpg. Easy to see now. To bad I did not do that first because the photos in there show going to the Odroid Utility.

I thought the Getting Started with Odroid-XU4 was made for a PDF in the first place. If you don't have one I don't know what you made that paper with.

-Raymond Day

by **odroid** » Mon Aug 10, 2015 6:20 pm

mdrjr mentioned about this document for the C1. http://goo.gl/iWGYcz
If you meant a small paper in the XU4 box, we will upload it very soon.

by **Raymond Day** » Mon Aug 10, 2015 6:31 pm

Thank you. That will be nice to see good.

Download it from this link. Open a new thread if you have any further requests because of "out-of-topic".

Wow thank you. Super good pdf file just looks like the paper that came with the Odroid-XU4. But can now read it real good by zooming in to it.

The Odroid-XU4 seems very good. Seem like for the best price too.

Maybe you should see if you can make a even better one with Intel Atom Processor Z3735F CPUs. I got one of there's too got the one that comes with Windows 8.1 with bing. I backed it up and got Ubuntu 14.04 on it now. What I don't like it only has 1 USB 2.0 on it. But if you could put like 1000Mbps Ethernet port and USB 3.0 on it would be super. They have a fan in it too and it can come on but very low sound. I guess you are the guys that can make it better.

It's junk that Intel only put 8 GB eMMC for Ubuntu. It fills the rest up fast. They have a restore partition on it so no much left. That why I got the one with 32GB.

Dear mdrjr
Would you please answer me in below thread:
"Ubuntu 14.04 Server image for XU4/XU3 wireless connection"
Thanks a lot

Does the server image have all of the OpenCL/OpenGL stuff installed? Should it be able to run glmark2-es2 as-is?

by **mdrjr** » Sun Aug 16, 2015 8:55 am

No, it does not.

by **murrman** » Sun Aug 16, 2015 9:01 am

Is it difficult to set that up, or should I just start from the non-server image?

I based my robotics images off of server, but now I need OpenCL/OpenGL. More specifically I should ask if I should try to update my robotics image or start on a new one with the desktop version as a base?

Thanks for your reply.

by **mdrjr** » Sun Aug 16, 2015 9:08 am

you can try updating your image.
It should work just fine.

by **buba013** » Mon Aug 24, 2015 3:43 pm

Thank you for all your hard work.
It works great for what i wanted.

Thank you.

MANY THANKS for this topic on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS server image!!

I joined early to plan my deployment and I plan to buy the ODROID-XU4 specifically to use with Ubuntu server.

I also want to use ODROID-XU4 with Android 4.4 and with Android 5.x

by **devrich** » Fri Aug 28, 2015 7:22 pm

I am used to installing AMD Radeon drivers on Linux Mint to get OpenGL and OpenCL support........

Since the ODROID-XU4 doesn't use AMD graphics chips; how do I go about installing OpenCL drivers on Ubuntu Server 14.04.3 LTS ?

by **mdrjr** » Fri Aug 28, 2015 8:38 pm

You don't. Server image is made for SERVER.
If you need OpenCL please use the Ubuntu 15.04 image.

by **yah** » Sat Aug 29, 2015 12:25 am

Hi,

thanks for the new image. question, where can i find the kernel library files? specifically, i'm looking for cpufreq.h

i did an apt-cache search and i could not find the kernel header files for the version of the kernel

3.10.82

thanks,

yah

by **mdrjr** » Sat Aug 29, 2015 12:30 am

github.com/hardkernel/linux branch: odroidxu3-3.10.y

by **yah** » Sat Aug 29, 2015 9:26 am

thanks for the tip. i downloaded the repo and ran make headers_install on the right branch, odroidxu3-3.10.y

when i search /usr/include, i still can't find cpufreq.h

i know the file is there in the source

./include/linux/cpufreq.h
./arch/arm/mach-exynos/include/mach/cpufreq.h

any suggestions?
thanks,

by **yah** » Sat Aug 29, 2015 10:05 am

ok. i found this package with the header file i wanted. libcpufreq-dev. i apologize for the inconvenience

Download link doesn't work.
Looks like server is down.
Is there any mirror server where I can download 14.04?

If you need OpenCL please use the Ubuntu 15.04 image.

I must be missing something here, maybe you can explain...

Why can't you download and install the Mali drivers for ODROID-XU3 from the website below?

http://malideveloper.arm.com/resources/ ... e-drivers/

I tried this, put all of the files (libOpenGL.so, libMali.so, etc) in the /usr/lib directory, ran ldconfig, etc. I still get the MESA driver selected when I run glmark2-es2, and a "Creating an OpenCL context failed" message after compiling / running the OpenCL SDK examples.

I will give up and move on to Ubuntu 15.04 if I have to, but I would at least like to understand what the limitation is.

Thanks and please excuse my persistence

by **memeka** » Mon Sep 07, 2015 9:11 am

there is no limitation, you just have to build armsoc ddx, and install the mali drivers in the right path. this is not /usr/lib

easiest, try overwriting mesa. or use LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

OK, I wasn't doing anything with DDX. I'll mess around with this a little bit more before I give up

Thanks for the suggestion!

by **meveric** » Mon Sep 07, 2015 11:18 pm

since we have an arm device the folder /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ is preferred over /usr/lib... first it looks into /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ and only if it doesn't find any drivers there it goes to /usr/lib...
So the Mesa libraries are loaded before your libraries in /usr/lib/ are loaded.

So the Mesa libraries are loaded before your libraries in /usr/lib/ are loaded.

Well, I sort of got it to work...

I can run the SDK examples successfully now using your tip and by taking a closer look at mdrjr's update script. glmark2-es2 still fails, but oh well.

After all that, I ran into a different issue. I'm just going to switch to 15.04 for my new robotics image

Thanks for your help!
