Hi tobetter,
I've just discover your effort on several Odroid SBC to get better user experience
https://www.hardkernel.com/ko/tag/odroid-c2/
Now I'm trying to finish a buster netinst, FYI last recent images on your shared area are broken, wrong dtb, wrong kernel file name but I was able to find in buster-odroid-c2_201903150816_arm64_netinst.img a working starting point I hope.
My intention is to use a Odroid C2 with my TV for DVB streaming and retro gaming, I've some skill with Linux to give you feedback and if you want pull req.

thanks

Thank you for your interesting, the kernel package from my server and Netboot Installer have a build for ODROID-C2 as well but the feature for it is not tested well enough for end user yet. Also I have low intention about it at the moment and currently major issue is USB host is instable which will take some time to figure out. I'd appreciate if you have patches and go for pull request for ODROID-C2.

Thank you. :)

Hi tobetter thanks for your quick feedback.
In last days I was able to run kernel v5.10.81 on my Odroid C2 rev0.2 20171114 from last armbian and dietpi builds, both build have internal odroid c2 ethernet and wiringpi not working but USB were fine.
Yesterday I generated an image with your odroid-stamper, I had to make some small change to force using into your repo list, probably your local stamper fixups folder it's different than the one in your git repo.
Anyway as I anticipated the current kernel generated with your sources have problem but any USB issues are covered by a more critical issue, as once flashed my current image it stuck on initramfs prompt.
If you want to give a try here it is: https://pub.briata.org/odroid_images/ I'll put here my daily progress, as I've a free week to work on this.
I've also tried to add your repo to my sources lint of official Ubuntu 20.04 for Odroid 2, but because kernel missmatch I'm not able to finish the installation, moreover removing flash-kernel as you suggested in the odroid forum don't solve, then my u-boot it's still looking for boot.ini instead boot.scr.

Can you suggest me a stable recent kernel v4 to use from your repo package that will let me use also wiringpi?

thanks

Was thinking (hoping) exactly the same when I stumbled upon the LinuxFactory images in a forum thread when trying to get SPDIF to work on my N2+…. It would be great to see a C2 versions. You should also get on the Ordoid wiki as I’d never have found about you without someone posting the link in a thread, and your image is the only one that I could get SPDIF working with other than the official Odroid image, but no Panfrost there so this really is the best image for me 😄
