But does it run a mainline Linux kernel? I hate how a lot of Hardkernel’s stuff needs custom patches.

- robert_foss 6y agoI don't think the RPi runs an entirely mainline kernel either.
- gjsman-1000 6y agoIt doesn't AFAIK, but it's getting there. https://github.com/lategoodbye/rpi-zero/issues/43 https://github.com/lategoodbye/rpi-zero/issues/43
- mgulick 6y agoMy Odroid-C2 runs a mainline kernel. I use it headless, so I'm not sure about graphics support, but its been otherwise extremely stable. It did take a year or two after release to get full upstream support. I'd imagine this new board will follow a similar trajectory.
- cnxsoft 6y agoMaybe not right now, but Baylibre is working on this: https://twitter.com/Superna9999/status/1253307218688081920 https://twitter.com/Superna9999/status/1253307218688081920
- ac29 6y agoThe answer appears to be yes, with some exceptions like the integrated video encoder: http://linux-meson.com/doku.php http://linux-meson.com/doku.php But, I dont have one to test - it certainly might ship with a weird hacked up bootloader or something. I do have a board based on an earlier generation Amlogic SoC that I'm quite happy with. Worked well out of the box and has continued to do so.
