Image | Odroid C1 Stretch #2561
Comments
@MichaIng Some notes:
|
Hmm, alot of negatives for Stretch on the C1. Yes I could probably use Meverics kernel on Stretch, but even then we loose GPU support and Kodi. Debating if we should drop the device altogether as all dev/support by open source comminuty seems to have stopped? Spent 3 days on/off with this, not having much luck if iam honest |
I'll do 1 more try with Meveric 3.x under Stretch, when I can. See if any joy. |
Hmm dist-upgrading from Meverics Jessie kernel 3.10 image does not work as well? Yeah I also believe in case we just offer the final Jessie image which user will have at least DietPi v6.24 support for and then drop it, respectively ship as EOL final image. |
Ah as said, I plan to merge DietPi v6.24 into the jessie-support branch as well, then most likely remove Jessie support from code with v6.25. The branch migration is done now already to have most users migrated as soon as possible. This allows to remove the migration code itself midterm earlier as we cannot guarantee DietPi-Globals (loaded from patch_file) Jessie support for old Jessie images/systems forever. |
C1+ user here - I understand and respect your reasons for dropping support. Let me just mention that the board is still sold (even marked "hot" on hardkernel.org - maybe it's their way to clear inventory?). Even without GPU support, it's still a nice server with its 1 Gbit Ethernet, which is how I've used it. |
This is how it must be interpreted. Sadly this is common practice across SBC manufacturers. Never buy an SBC that is older than one year. Kernels major versions are often never updated, limiting the support for newer distro versions. For manufacturer images its mostly the same. Hardkernel at least ships relatively current Ubuntu images, but the kernel is never updated. We use the well maintained minimal Debian images from Meveric but his possibilities are limited as well due to lack of kernel development. This is the reason I would still never buy anything else than an RPi for personal use. This is the ONLY SBC that is at current stage forever supported with current kernel versions and very regular OS updates. Soon you can run your very day-1 RPi1 with Buster image and kernel 4.19. Outstanding from that point of view. Sadly very limited performance. To be fair about the above:

Thanks for keeping the Odroid C1 supported - I'm trying the new 6.23 beta, but seem to be running into some issues. Context: image flashed to eMMC (via µSD adapter) on MacOS using And then, in the Odroid, on bootup, with console attached, I get this:
PS. This is using the image from the C1 download page, |
Aha, a few comments up: "no eMMC support" - that's probably it. This is unfortunate, for server use. |
Jep that is one limitation of the mainline kernel that allows Debian Stretch, sadly. @Fourdee Digging: https://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_5.0#ARM
I know you invested much time for the current C1 Stretch image, so don't take this as a request, but as information. I just wanted to verify the "no-eMMC" and found it by chance 😄. Fun fact: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem Linux 5.1 comes with NanoPi T4+M4 + ROCK Pi 4 support btw, although the question is if all features are fully supported. At least on ROCK Pi forum I read about this a longer time, so their devs seem to be heavy involved. This should make image creation for these boards much easier. |
Could this be of use? - https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=111&p=255093 |

I am currently running |
@itouch5000 Okay, so still no HDMI. "serial console only" somehow implies this. "eMMC not supported" stated by ARMbian, so this will definitely not work: https://www.armbian.com/odroid-c1/ |

@MichaIng Very odd. I'm not shure if that helps. |
Okay I mark this as closed. Issues should be reported as separate issues from now on. |
Okay, I thought open up a separate issue makes sense here, as things turn out to be more complicated.
Related issues:
The problem seems to be, that from Meverics repo (and hardkernel sources) the latest kernel version is
3.10
, while Debian Stretch usually requires3.16
at least.EDIT: Although Sparky SBC runs with Stretch fine as well with kernel
3.10
Some successful distro upgrades have been done by users, but they might have unexpected issues and limitations in cases: https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=114&t=17569&start=250
ARMbian offers a Stretch image based on kernel
4.18
but it has critical limitations as well, especially no graphics output, serial console only, no eMMC support: https://www.armbian.com/odroid-c1/#kernels-archiveBoth above options don't lead to a reliable and functional Stretch image, although distro upgrading Meverics Jessie image at least does not touch kernel/driver so core functionality should stay?
If we have an Odroid C1, at least it is worth testing, distro upgrading to Stretch and test core + desktop + Kodi functionality.
Since I don't have one and Fourdee can't find his C1 currently, if there is anyone willing to try the above, this would be a great first step to check feasibility.
