RPI 4 Support #16

Open err4o4 opened 4 years ago

err4o4 commented 4 years ago

Could you make rpi4 image or provide config for building it) Thanks

TOLDOTECHNIK commented 4 years ago

Compared to the new Raspberry Pi 4, the currently implemented buildroot version is not able to run on this hardware. Some patches need to be applied to make the system executable. Unfortunately we don't have enough resources to adapt the code at the moment. Hopefully there will be someone who can make the necessary adjustments.

We are still looking for help on this one...

@TOLDOTECHNIK What exactly would be needed?

TOLDOTECHNIK commented 4 years ago

The rpi4_wpe_defconfig file is needed for building the RPi4 image. We kind of started to create it: toldotechnik_rpi4_wpe_defconfig.zip

brunobg commented 4 years ago

Is this essentially the .config file generated by buildroot? What would be different compared to the default pi4 file from it? For example, from https://github.com/WebPlatformForEmbedded/buildroot/blob/master/configs/raspberrypi4_defconfig

TOLDOTECHNIK commented 4 years ago

This project is based on an older buildroot release. But for the RPi4 we need a newer Kernel (5.4 and above). Adapting all the buildroot make/config files is a bunch of work again. Maybe there's another easier solution for this.

Good day.

Is this project still active.
Will you still be finishing the rpi4 version?

Kind regards.

TOLDOTECHNIK commented 1 year ago

A few days ago, we checked whether an implementation is currently possible without major effort. Unfortunately, the situation has not changed.
