4.13 and onwards
See the RockMyy branch !
About
This is a working patched 4.12 kernel with Mali r17p0 Kernel drivers, using the torvalds branch as a basis. This also integrate patches from Willy Tarreau, making possible to get better performances from the board. More informations in this thread.
Currently this kernel has been tested sucessfully with the Firefly's Mali User-space r12p0 drivers for fbdev and wayland, using the OpenGL ES 3.1 and 3.2 samples of the Mali OpenGL ES SDK. Pure DRM OpenGL was also tested successfully with these drivers, using this patched gl2mark.
X11 drivers were not tested successfully however.
The kernel was compiled using the following procedure :
export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi-
if [ -z ${MAKE_CONFIG+x} ]; then
export MAKE_CONFIG=oldconfig

This procedure was stored in the GetPatchAndCompileKernel.sh file and can be run like this :
sh GetPatchAndCompileKernel.sh
You will need compiling tools, git, wget and find in order to execute this procedure successfully.
The patches applied are stored in the patches/ folder.
To install this kernel, copy the zImage and the rk3288-miqi.dtb file in your boot partition. Note that if you have access to U-boot through a serial console AND your MiQi is powered through your USB computer, you can access the whole eMMC like a USB memory stick using the following command :
ums 0 mmc 1
Debian packages for release versions
Debian packages containing releases versions of kernels patched the same way are available in Armbian repositories, thanks to Armbian's team. Note that Armbian also provides Debian installation scripts and cross-building scripts (Building ARM Debian images using Intel/AMD machines).
If you already have a Debian system, you'll just have to add the beta.armbian.com Debian repository and do :
apt install linux-image-dev-rockchip linux-headers-dev-rockchip linux-dtb-dev-miqi
linux-dtb-dev-miqi being useful if you're installing this kernel on a MiQi board.
TODO
- Document how to use the generated kernel and boot it
- Add the Open Source Kernel-space Mali Midgard drivers
- Add gator (Generates lock-ups)
- Document how to use DS-5 : Streamline to analyse OpenGL ES 2.x/3.x programs running on MiQi boards using such kernels. (Generates lock-ups)
- Integrating Rockchip VPU code (In progress)
