Replacement package for 'linux-odroid-panfrost'? #4

Closed lynix closed 2 years ago

lynix commented 2 years ago

I apologize if this is not the right place to ask this question, but I couldn't find a better place on the website.

I'm currently running an Odroid C4 originally installed with the GNOME image, which is using 'linux-odroid-panfrost' as Kernel package (5.10.2-1).

I can see that 550c0f3a4a78 deleted the package but unfortunately the commit message does not indicate why or what to use instead.

Can I safely migrate to a different Kernel package, e.g. 'linux-odroid-518' or 'linux-amlogic-519' by uninstalling the panfrost package and installing the new one?

I've read that it should even be possible to use vanilla ALARM with mainline Kernel on the C4 but I don't want to re-install the entire system and build my own U-Boot binary.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Forgot to mention: I'm running the box pretty stripped down and headless as a Docker host for small services and Home-Assistant temperature probe. So it wouldn't be an issue for me if GPU or audio wouldn't work with the new kernel.

So, to answer my own question:

Apparently you can just uninstall the panfrost kernel and go with the standard ALARM kernel package 'linux-aarch64'.

Tested with current 5.19.8-1-aarch64-ARCH, works just fine.
