Support for Galileo gen 1?

[dmarkey]

Hey there.

I got this repo link from Stack Overflow, I see you're working on a kernel that works on Quark.

I have 2 x Gen 1 Galileos I want to try to do something interesting with before they go in the garbage (Like running a proper linux distro).

I noticed in a commit message that Gen 2 minimum is required. Does that mean Gen 1 definitely wont work and a lost cause?

[dmarkey]

So after building this kernel and trying to boot I am not having any success on my Gen 1. @andy-shev is Gen 1 a dead end?

Here is my grub config for reference.

title Test2
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /bzImage root=/dev/mmcblk0p3 console=ttyS1,115200n8 earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0x8010f000,115200n8 reboot=kbd apic=debug rw debugshell=5 debug rootdelay=5 efi_main=0x000000014a65d8f3
jmp_code32=0x000000025a67744f

And boot sequence:

    GNU GRUB  version 0.97  (604K lower / 244604K upper memory)

It's possible to revive it, but I had played with Gen 1 like 5 years ago or so. I remember that it has 3.5mm jack for serial connection. And I even have somewhere the board :-) Dunno if it is still working. In any case I have no much time for it to spend.

That said, if you wish to invest some time, I can help you, otherwise it's not gonna work.

For the first step I would recommend you to find original stock image that you may boot with. Then it will be easier to see what can we do about.

[dmarkey]

Yeah, lets go for it. I have a hella old debian distro working based on https://sourceforge.net/p/galileodebian

I have the special serial cable.

This distro comes with 3.8.7 and 3.2.0. And and oldish grub2.

I can jump on some kind of instant-messaging, or here if you wish.

[andy-shev]

So, can we close this now? Or you still have questions?

[dmarkey]

No, Thanks for all your help!
