Buildroot and GStreamer Support

Technical Support
2

Wow, so many questions, I will try to answer all the questions one by one:

  1. We also just follow the openlinux instructions to build buildroot but didn’t do too much test on it :wink:

But I remembered that the video play works when I build buildroot-0930 version; regarding the latest buildroot-170310, I tried to build as linux-4.9, but the got the Mali GPU compile error, and I stop to forward that.

  1. Regarding the branches of U-Boot and Linux repository:
  • we tend to keep a branch to follow up the Amlogic official Android source code, in our Github, Vim branch is for Android M, and Nougat is for Android N (We might need to rename Vim branch as Mmallow)
  • ubuntu branch is for Linux Distro:
    • Linux: currently based on 3.14.29
    • U-Boot: we want to keep ENV more simple, but we didn’t found a better solution to suit both Android and Linux in a single branch yet

Yes, as what you said, we need to keep research a better way to manage the branches for different Android versions / Linux versions and Amlogic buildroot versions :slight_smile:

  1. A good idea to push Amlogic to support Khadas VIM officially, will try to do that.

  2. Martin, Neil Armstrong and their team are working at to let upstream linux to support Khadas VIM, and I’ve received a eamil from Martin that, Khadas VIM might be added to official upstream linux from v4.12.

  3. What do you mean here?

Thanks!
