Hi WFK as You say you have and the HC1 board and the HC2
are the boards the same and does the HC2 report as a HC1 or does it report as a HC2 ?
because for me the main difference looks to be the housing for the 3.5 inch disk

I only have xu3 and xu4 dtb files in my /boot.  As far as I can tell, with my kernels, the system identifies as "Odroid XU4" and uses the xu4 dtd.
So I don't know at what point the need for a separate hc1 dtd file in /boot was introduced.

Going through the dmesg, I see no indication of either HC1 or HC2, only XU4.

Afaict, the boards are identical except for the 5V vs 12V power circuit.

Hi,

I'm compiling native on the HC1.
I'm using the kernel source provided by Odroid on their site, which contains various Samsung cpu related patches.  It looks like Ubuntu is using that same source, as the kernel they deliver with their image is a similar version.

This is what comes with the standard Ubuntu SD card image:
Linux version 4.14.5-92 (root@1604_builder_armhf) (gcc version 5.4.1 20160904 (Ubuntu/Linaro 5.4.1-2ubuntu1~16.04)) #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Dec 11 15:48:15 UTC 2017

What's running on my compile box is currently:
Linux version 4.14.141+ (root@eiger) (gcc version 6.3.0 20170516 (Debian 6.3.0-18+deb9u1)) #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Oct 4 19:34:42 UTC 2019

The current Odroid version is newer than that.  They recently merged a 4.14 update.
I have seen no indications that they intend to go to 5.x any time soon.

Hi all,

The other week I tried to boot the Odroid XU4 image and found it, indeed, not booting.
I'ld be happy to help out with any testing, kernel building, or whatever.  I have a couple of "scratch" Odroid HC1 and HC2 machines here that I have been using to compile my own kernel and uboot for use with a devuan install that I created using debootstrap.  That worked quite well, although I found you have to be careful about which Odroid kernel source commit you use, as some are decidedly unstable.  I don't know what the "official" way is to build a Devuan arm embedded SD card image.

Regards,
wfk
