[KERNEL] Ouya-Odysseus-Kernel-V0.1 15-09-2013

[nchantmnt]

This is a custom kernel for the ouya gaming console based on stock kernel source.

My goal is to improve performance and stability.

Kernel Features:

compiled with linaro 4.7.4 toolchain
memory performance tweak
improved async I/O latency


For now i have to admit I'm new to kernel-development, so dont expect anything too fancy yet.

Download:
None for now - Anyone interested in alpha-testing is welcome to apply via pm. be sure to know how to get back to stock if anything goes wrong.

Just to keep you informed: for now the boot.img doesn't boot up correctly. Since I was that stupid to just flash new boot.img i'll have to unbrick first and then look what is causing this issue.

Btw anyone got news on uart?

Recover from brick has highest priority for now

good thing you have this included in your kernel:

hmm already tried that but didnt work =/ but thanks anyway.
seems like kernel does panic quite early and then just sits there doing nothing. then even sysrq + X doesnt work.
but will keep on trying the coming days.
if nothing helps i may have to get myself a new ouya. good those aren't that expensive

new ouya on the way... could take some time to ship to germany tho...

If you plan to keep developing this you need to make sure you give instructions to users of how to boot this without flashing using fastboot. Because of the lack of good recovery options it doesn't make sense giving users a flashable kernel they can't recover from. Keep up the work though. There aren't many devs working on the Ouya...

 

[nchantmnt]

I surely will keep on developing this kernel. But first I want a bootable build and need to know what broke mine. This i can't be sure of before I get my new outs...(should arrive this week).
Then I'll give it out to some testers. Only when I think it's stable and safe enough to make it public I'll post link and steps how to flash.

Oh and about fastboot. I could make a flashable zip but don't think that would change anything... Maybe with safe recovery... Will have to test

This kernel is dead ?

 

[nchantmnt]

Not dead, just way too much going on in my life for now. I will let you know if there are any news.
