Can anyone help ?

Hello, Try Khadas GitHub.

Hi,
Thank you for the quick replay, yes it does contains sources.
I got u-boot’s build instructions over there as well but how about linux building and flashing ?

hi, linux kernel can be rebuilt from sources by the fenix tool you find in the same github, fenix can also rebuild complete firmware to be flashed to sd or emc

Hi, @ravelo @Frank @RDFTKV ,

I Have started cloning sources from Fenix , it’s really good to have one script solution.
What I observe is it is giving me the 4.9 kernel version,
What I wanted to understand is,

  1. Do Fenix or another way available to get a 5.10-x stable kernel ?

  2. Is Nural network, AI core support available in 4.9 kernel version ?

Appreciate your help.

Hi ,

At least may I know which is the latest BSP version provided on vim3l ?
Fenix is providing 4.9 kernel version

Thanks

Latest stable version is 5.14.

Supported both 4.9 & 5.14.

Hi @numbqq ,
Thanks for the replay.

Are there any steps available for 5.14 fetching/buliding for VIM 3L ?

$ source setenv.sh -q -s  KHADAS_BOARD=VIM3L LINUX=mainline UBOOT=mainline DISTRIBUTION=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=focal DISTRIB_TYPE=server DISTRIB_ARCH=arm64 INSTALL_TYPE=SD-USB COMPRESS_IMAGE=no
$ make

Hi, @numbqq,
That is a great help, I will try this out and update it here.
I hope every major feature is stable and running smoothly on the latest 5.14.
I Will checkout the release note as well for 5.14.

Hi, @numbqq,

Tried reaching release note Khadas VIM3L Ubuntu Firmware | Khadas Documentation

Unfortunately, it is not available,

Also, I have been through here as well https://github.com/khadas but could not find.
So can you guide me for release notes ?

Hi @numbqq,

Going forward, I was exploring yocto build system for khadas VIM3L,found meta-meson layer for khadas VIM3L.

Any hints on usage of yocto build systems ?

I could see there meta-meson layer which has linux kernel versions v5.2, v5.4 and v5.14 etc

It does not have 4.9.

So, among above mentioned kernels, which version is stable for khadas VIM3L?

Does community provides support for yocto as well?

Any release docs for all of the kernel yocto versions available ?

Thanks

Hi, @numbqq,

Can you help here?

Kernel version 4.9 is going to be EOL, and 5.14 is already expired (EOL).

Can you at least help saying which kernel version khadas team is planning to work on after 4.9’s EOL?

This currently blocking stage for me, I will also required hardware encoder(H.264), NPU.

Kindly help me move ahed.
