damn thief bastard... i hope the police get it back since we need you ;) i can't make that work ;( i tried to hack that board files into more stable branch 3.4 but i realized thats a lot of work... paul who exectly? like this paul? http://www.paulburton.eu/git/ ?

its freakin making me crazy that i can't have a stable linux ;]

@jhinta: are you on irc?
first i thought that tf101 is like ventana. well it isn't since compiling that freakin board does not boot the thing.
i don't know which part's of the tf101 files i have to stuff into the stable branch to make that thing boot since it
needs something in the kernel to do that ;)

Sorry for dragging this thread up, and I know this has been asked before but could someone give me the files for flashing thought CWM or maybe some easier instructions as im too much of a noob to compile / read the instructions myself lol, cheers

Dude,

Linux Kernel ain't the same as Android Kernel. I don't know if there is a kernel.blob here around.
Easiest way is to compile the sources and flash it with OLIFE. Pretty straight forward.

It doesn't work for me :(

It compiled succesfull but booting with kernel panic "Unable to handle kernel null pointer dereference at virtual address"

I tried initrd external and in kernel but always same result.
I use initrd from > http://www.multiupload.nl/LTRXOUKJDT

E: When I use config and initrd.img from older kernel (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24409932&postcount=2) so I boot into initrams but I can't boot to system from him. With newest initrd and confing no...

your initrd is currupt or to big , just unpacked it, remove /lib/modules/*
or just download a new one
and repack it as
find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ../newramdisk.cpio.gz
for gz
or
find . | cpio --quiet --dereference -o -H newc | lzma -7 > ~/new-initrd.lz
for lzma for better compression ( kernel needs its support for this !! )

if you want to build in just make a empty folder and run the command and added fiolder to your config ( folder with the files !! )

Yes, I know it. I removed unnecessary files and compiled kernel with support for lzma and gzip for initrd but I got this result ^^^
Abooting doesn't allow bigger file than in config (about 8,6MB for org. partition).

Sorry - been out of town and only catching up XDA now.
Attached is my kernel compile of latest Jhinta kernel (overclock fixed but USB hotplug not fixed yet). It is for mountloop boot with the image living under /sdcard/ubuntu.img under Android. I attach the kernelblob and the modules (extract to /lib/modules on your linux rootfs).

If you have different setup, extract the kernelblob using the blob tools, and modify the command line to suit your needs. The same initrd should work for straight boot off a partition or for loop mount, you only need to change the command line "boot" and "loop" arguments accordingly.

This works for me, using it all the time (on a SBKv2 device - actually TF101G which is not SBKv2 but yet some other SBK). Very happy except for USB hotplug which is the only thing that doesn't work (USB has to be plugged in from boot to be recognized).

Hmmm little mega noob question how to use this img ? Remove .img extension, rename it and place it in zip ? Or it's another thing to deal with ?

and where to find oc patch?

extracting zimage and use it on normal way (flash it with nvflash and an other initrd) don't work (can't mount anything)

Just clone his github repo if you have not already done so.

If you have a cloned copy of his github repo you can pull in the latest changes with
$ git pull
(do this in the base folder of your local source)
This will update you local copy with his latest changes. Then recompile the source. If you are not sure, look at some git tutorials on the web.

    Dont have this tap anymore so cant support it anymore !!!

    I do things manual as i want to know what has be done !
    So every thing below is hardcore installation. This will give you the why and know how of things !!!

    About bootimg.cfg
    This file is need for creating boot.img
    You can find it by unpacking a boot.img,but one is provided already.
    The important part of this file is the first and last option.
    The first one will say how big the image wil be, and the last is kernel cmdline.
    This is also wehre you say loop= for a loop file

    Pack or unpack blob files
    Code: 
    cd /tmp
git clone git://github.com/AndroidRoot/BlobTools.git
cd BlobTools
make -j2
sudo cp blobpack /usr/bin/
sudo cp blobunpack /usr/bin/
cd ~

    Unpack a boot.img
    We create a folder and place a boot.img in it.
    Code: 
    mkdir ~/test
cd ~/test
abootimg -x boot.img


    Unpacking a initrd image
    Code: 
    cd ~/test
mkdir ramdisk
cd ramdisk
gzip -dc ../initrd.img | cpio -i
    Now you will have a directory with the ramdisk source files in ~/test/ramdisk
    to repack it, run
    Code: 
    cd ~/test/ramdisk
find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ../new-initrd.img
    for gzip
    Code: 
     find . | cpio -H newc -o | lzma -c > ../initram.lzm
    for lzma
    This will give you a new-initrd.img file in ~/test/ for you to use............versions<
    Go to the folder and select ALL file or folder BUT source and build !!!!
    And compres it file wel be made in home.
    modules are install in ubuntu in /lib/modules/


    About kernel and initrd and boot.img and blob
    :D
    Kernel = basic hardware installations and setup
    initrd = like a ramdisk
    boot.img = kernel + initrd
    blob = boot.img + TF special header

    Blob file you find in cwm.zip like a kernel update for android
    boot.img you will find when using nvflash
    kernel gets compiled from a git or source
    initrd you can make your own or reuse

    i will create cwm.zip to do the flashing
    To do this i do.
    Code: 
    mkdir ~/test
cd ~/test
cp ~/TF101-GNU-kernel/arch/arm/boot/zImage ~/test/zImage
abootimg --create ./ubuntu.img -f ./bootimg.cfg -k ./zImage -r ./initrd.img
    This will give me a ubuntu.img ready for nvflash but i want cwm.
    so i do
    Code: 
    ./blobpack kernelblob LNX ubuntu.img
    (LNX is boot partition dont change this unless you know what your doing)
    Now i got a new file kernelblob that i can add to a cmw.zip file
    To do this , open !!!! the cmw.zip below and remove and add the file kernelblob.
    Thats it, and ready for flashing.


    Rootfs
    You sould be able to use any rootfs that is for arm.
    you can also build a rootfs with rootstock
    keep in mind a rootfs kan have diffrent types of names like ( rootfs.img.ext234 or ubuntu,dabian,linux.img.ext234 or evrey name you want it to be its just a name+ext)
    If you want to relock it for oem-config ( nice first setup like name location keyboard setup) do
    Code: 
    touch /var/lib/oem-config/run

    Ubuntu
    Kbuntu
    XBMX

    So how do we even flash ?
    I use nvflash directly or cwm
    The easy why is just using Olife.
    Keep in mind that i will never use uboot , only original bootloader of android.
    So dualboot is what you need.
    if you have dualboot flashed, do this.
    Replaced (backup!) initrd-2.6.38.img and 2638-zImage in the kernel folder with my files,
    and in Olife update your chromium kernel.

    For those that want to use a loop file
    Just flash this zip file
    And copy the rootfs to sdcard (nand) /sdcard/linux/ubuntu.img (more will come, thats why linux/ubuntu.img)

    Wifi setup
    Wifi simply needs 2 files and you can get them from android space -> then copy them to Ubuntu space to /lib/firmware/
    /data/misc/wifi/nvram.txt -> /lib/firmware
    /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf -> /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf #optional
    just use a root exploror to copy them to sdcard or usb ( this can alo be done when your in Ubuntu space (/system = mmcblk0p1, /data = mmcblk0p7))
    and put them on the right place for Ubuntu.

    Bluetooth setup
    There are 3 file needed from android space, to get this,
    Enable bluetooth
    Rename you bluetooth name to what ever you want ( once in Ubuntu you cant change this !!!! )
    Leave it on !! and boot to Ubuntu
    /data/misc/bluetooth/{bcm4329.hcd,mac.txt} -> /lib/firmware
    brcm_patchram_plus (lives on the net) -> /usr/sbin/brcm_patchram_plus (already in)
    As last edit /etc/init.d/bsp-tf101 and correct your mac adress --bd_addr ***** (replac *** with mac !!!, mac is located in mac.txt)
    .
    Code: 
    #! /bin/sh

do_stop(){
#look if Board Support Package is already running
PS=$(ps -A | grep " brcm_patchram_plus\>")
if [ -n "$PS" ]; then
echo "* Stoping Bluetooth Support Package..."
killall brcm_patchram_plus
fi
}

do_start(){
#if already started then stop first
do_stop
#now start all board support binaries
echo "* Starting Bluetooth Support Deamon..."
rfkill unblock 0
modprobe bcm4329
/usr/sbin/brcm_patchram_plus --enable_hci --baudrate 921600 --bd_addr ***** --patchram /lib/firmware/bcm4329.hcd /dev/ttyHS2&
# making sure the nvtegra dev nodes have the correct permissions
echo "* Setting correct permissions on nvtegra device nodes..."
chmod 0666 /dev/nv* /dev/tegra_*
}

case $1 in
start | restart)
do_start
;;
stop)
do_stop
;;
esac
    and reboot and your done.

    Installing Tegra HEADER files ( needed when building things like XBMC )
    Copy as root all folder to /usr/include/

    Installing Opengl-ES
    Download the Tegra drivers from Nvidia
    Once downloaded unpack it and open a cmdline and go to that direction Where those files are and type,
    Code: 
    sudo ./app*.sh --help
    -r = your root directeroy whey you want to install this
    --abi = witch version of abi your running, to get you version run in ubuntu on TF
    Code: 
    aptitude show xserver-xorg-core | grep abi
    So when running this directy on the TF in Ubuntu you wil get this
    Code: 
    sudo ./app*.sh --abi 10 -r /

    Get audio working
    Code: 
    sudo usermod -a -G audio 
sudo chmod -R 777 /dev/snd/*
    Then open alsamixer and enable
    playback
    Left And Right speaker mixer DACL/R
    Set DC input to DMIC
    And sound sould work right away.

    Install zram
    Code: 
    sudo wget -O /etc/init/zramswap.conf 'https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/TEGRA/AC100?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=zramswap.conf'

    Installing XBMC
    sudo apt-get install (try installing all dependencies you can in the readme.ubuntu in xbmc folder , some will fail so just remove them) )
    Code: 
    cd ~
git clone git clone git://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git
cd xbmc
./bootstrap
./configure --enable-tegra --enable-gles --disable-openmax --disable-vdpau --disable-hal --disable-joystick --disable-debug --disable-dvdcss
make -j2
sudo make install
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-swrast

    Loop or native parition
    in your config (dualboot.cfg)
    You kernel cmdline would be
    ( if you have native root=/dev/mmblk0p8 rw.........)
    ( for loop support you add loop= ( location of file !!! + root= (the partition where the file is located !!)
    root=/dev/mmcblk0p7 rw loop=/xxx/xxx

    files


    Support
    hdmi ( audio ? )
    USB ( full working )
    jack ( mic ? )

    Hi,
    I'm really, really sorry for the noob question in advance.

    I have Ubuntu 12.04 booting off external memory (didn't like the idea of destroying ClockworkMod), and I saw on the wiki page linked to in the first post that Jhinta kernel 3.1.10 supports hardware acceleration as well as speakers, and I would really like both of those.

    Unfortunately, I have no idea how to compile a kernel, in addition to not knowing whether any modifications will need to be made to make it a flashable kernel that boots off external memory.

    Basically, I need all the help I can get.
    Thank you so much for your help in advance!


    --EDIT--

    Sorry if I was being vague, but Jhinta, I was directing that question at you, it being your kernel. I'd be eternally grateful for even just a git link and a quick guide to making a kernel that'll boot off external memory.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    If you look in the wiki, there's a link to a post by me which contains a pretty detailed guide on how to compile a kernel and flash it. When you reach the stage involving abootimg, you'll need to update the config file passed to it with the -f option, and change "root=mmcblk0p8" to "root=mmcblk1p1" (or whatever partition it's installed on - you can check this by mounting it under Android/Linux then using the 'mount' command to check which device it corresponds to)

    BTW, you can have a dual boot while retaining CWM - you keep CWM in the recovery partition, and modify some zip files to flash the packaged kernels for Android and Linux. (This is also the easiest way to try new kernels.) More instructions on this are in the kernel compilation guide.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    In case anyone was wondering where I was, my TF was subject to a warranty claim (took them a month just to reconnect the LVDS cable). I'm currently in the process of repartitioning it and installing Debian armhf. Once I've got the new kernel working, I'll post a newbie friendly guide.

    Kernel update

    If someone is still interesting, I've merged kernel with lastest l4t nvidia souces (r16r3-rc)
    Changes:
    - framebuffer now fully works, switching between X and fb works.
    - usb hotplug bugs fixed
    - wifi disconnects fixed (used bcmdhd from cyanogenmod sources)
    - I've remapped upper keys for F1-F12 scrollock, pause, ins, del.

    Sources at github.com mozggg TF101-GNU-kernel
    (sorry, external links blocked)

    gnu.zip - for CWM flash. Includes kernel and modules. Installs on mmcblk0p8
    bcm4329.tar.gz - firmwares for current bcmdhd driver and .hcd for bluetooth. Must be extracted to /lib/firmware
