Your own rpi-update #32

Closed straccio closed 10 years ago

straccio commented 11 years ago

Why not including your own rpi-update clone that download a compiled firmware from your repository?

notro commented 11 years ago

That is a very good idea! I haven't thought of that possibility. I will look into it for the next release.

notro commented 11 years ago

Thanks for your idea! It has been implemented: https://github.com/notro/fbtft/wiki

After update i have lost something.. my kernel can't see fbtft_device module.. any advice?

notro commented 11 years ago

Did you do each step: https://github.com/notro/fbtft/wiki#install ? Failing to first update rpi-update, or not using REPO_URI would result in loosing fbtft support. In other words, you would be installing the default kernel.

rpi-update updates itself when run, but fails to honour REPO_URI the first time, hence the need to update it manually.

Solved... re updated and now is ok. I have made e script to do that

/bin/bash

rm -fr /lib/modules/$(uname -r).bak mv /lib/modules/$(uname -r) /lib/modules/$(uname -r).bak export REPO_URI=https://github.com/notro/rpi-firmware rpi-update
