Experimental kernel 3.16 for Android-x86 (READ WARNING FIRST)

[pstglia]

Hi everybody,

I'm sharing with you an experimental kernel 3.16 modded for Android-x86.
Basically, the job was diff released kernel.org src with android x86
kernel, compared the changes and created patches to apply on 3.16.
Also used experimental kernel 3.14 released from AOSP to ensure which
changes were related to Android.
Some extra changes were required in order to compile and run it (listed
some of then in the end of this post)

In the systems I tested (AMD A10 5800K / Celeron E3300 with Nvidia GT630)
most of basic functions worked (watching videos, surfing at Web, etc).
Nouveau performs a bit better with this kernel than the previous one
(3.10.x), due the driver changes inside kernel. I noted a big difference
playing videos.

Currently, wifi network is not working (unable to store keys /authenticate
- appears to be related to wpa-supplicant). Haven't tested with open
networks.
Wired network is working.

*Use it AT YOUR OWN RISK. YOU WERE ADVISED*

**********************************************************************

If you want to build your system with these changes, here's 2 alternatives

1) Applying patches:
1.1) Download kernel 3.16 source (from kernel.org) and unpack it
1.2) Copy the attached patches to the download kernel directory
1.3) Apply them with "patch -p0 < patch_file_name". Each patch will modify
files from the correspondent directory (kernel, arch, drivers, etc)
1.4) Copy Android.mk file from Android-x86 kernel dir (ANDROID_SRC/kernel)
to your downloaded kernel directory
1.5) Replace current Android-x86 kernel directory (ANDROID_SRC/kernel) by
your patched 3.16
1.6) Clean previous build and start compilation

2) Ready modded kernel
2.1) Download modded kernel source from here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxO6THtB865fNFFRYzdCbDM2X3M/edit?usp=sharing

2.2) replace your existing kernel dir (ANDROID_SRC/kernel), clean up
previous build and kick in.

There is an ISO I built to test on my hardware. It's using mesa 10.1.5 and
is intended for Radeon (non CGN) and Nvidia GPUs (This won't work for Intel
GPU users)

Some of the "ugly" hacks made:
- net/ipv4/tcp.c: Commented reference to rcv_saddr on ipv6 code
/*s6 = &inet->pinet6->rcv_saddr;
if (ipv6_addr_type(s6) == IPV6_ADDR_MAPPED)
continue;*/

- drivers/input/evdev.c: Removed call to wake_lock_destroy
/*if (client->use_wake_lock)
wake_lock_destroy(&client->wake_lock);*/

- Disabled NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_QTAGUID parameter on kernel config to avoid
errors related to xt_qtaguid.c

- drivers/gpu/drm/drm_drv.c: ignored return from drm_ioctl_permit
(permition check for drm ioctl, based on extra permissions,
like CAP_SYS_ADMIN/DRM_AUTH

I attached a file with some personal notes:

Thanks for pointing this out (I'm using WPA-PSK /WPA2-PSK with a TL-WR841N
router + Ralink corp. RT2760 Wireless 802.11n 1T/2R pci card).

Will check if there's a fix for this on 3.16.1. In last case, I'll try to
debug it.

Currently trying to put all this mess on git :)

[pstglia]

I've pushed these changes to git:

https://github.com/pstglia/Kernel-3.16-for-android-x86

[pstglia]

Thank you for putting it on the github.
However, I saw it's a big single drop.
It's not easy to see what changed.
* Clone the vanilla kernel
(e.g., https://github.com/torvalds/linux )
* Apply each patch separately, including
Google's and yours (if any).
In this way it could be reviewed more easily.

Sure. I'll report back when it's ready

[pstglia]

Forked Torvalds kernel, applied patches to modded / created files and
pushed them (branch name is v3.16_android):

https://github.com/pstglia/linux

Could you check it please?

[rbg]

FYI-

got to re-test today after upgrading to kernel 3.16.1, then rebuilding

same WiFi issues for me.............

Trying to build with kernel 3.16...

Do I need to leave the kernel/android folder to successfully complete the
build, isn't it?

In my previous attempts, I was doing the fist kernel build by providing
3.10 version of my_defconfig,
that should induce the kernel building with default settings for new 3.16
features.

I'll try and I'll report back the results

Hi Mauro,

You can do this if you don't wish to build all android src again:

1) Replace entire ANDROID_SRC/kernel by this patched one
2) Remove the previous kernel build:

# removing img files:
cd $OUT
rm -f ramdisk.img install.img kernel system.sfs initrd.img android_x86.iso
rm -f ./obj/PACKAGING/systemimage_intermediates/system.img

# Remove obj files:
cd obj/kernel
rm -rf *

# Copying new .config
cp ANDROID_SRC/kernel/arch/x86/configs/android-x86_defconfig ./.config

# remove modules/firmwares
cd ../../system/lib/modules/
rm -rf 3.10.52-android-x86/

# remove libwebchromium (I had to remove it - it is somehow linked with
kernel and was crashing for me before rebuilding)
cd ../../../obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/
rm -rf libwebviewchromium*

3) Go back to ANDROID_SRC and start compilation:
make -j5 iso_img (or a variant of this)

no have only been concerned about WiFi stuff.....will add some gapps this
week
and if ok will run some games....any suggestions on other stuff to check
out/verify????

also should I try 10.1.4 mesa intergration??

If you can, please check performance and Stability in general (compared to
3.10.52)

Post by rbg

It depends your hardware... if you have an Intel IGP, keep it unchanged.
10.x Mesa version has problems with classic drivers. Emil Velikov and Mauro
Rossi are trying to make this work.

If you are using radeon/nvidia, Mauro has generated patches for 10.2.3 and
even 10.3.0. Check this:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/Android-x86/WkwkrP38M1o%5B101-125-false%5D

A last note: Checked that loading "ctr" and "ccm" kernel modules we are
able to auth wpa2. However, there's still problems trying to access network.
Maybe another crypt kernel module which needs to be loaded... Still digging

Thanks,
pstglia

Hi Folks,

Solved the problem with wpa2 auth (at least in tests I executed on my
hardware) making some crypto modules built in instead of modules (just to
avoid explicit loading on scripts)

Hi, great news!

Can I ask some further questions? Just to undestand more about kernel folder and rebuild from scratch. I use ccache to speed-up

Do I need the existing ANDROID_SRC/kernel/android folder?
Android.mk file is necessary, but can I use the exact same file present in 3.10.52 current kernel?

Regarding android-x86_defconfig file how was it generated? Using kconfig merge scripts and merging necessary and recommended kernel config lines as per kernel/android files and instructions?

Thank you, sorry for asking, but I'm trying learn and fix these concepts.

3.10.52 current kernel?

ANDROID_SRC/kernel/android is not really necessary. It's supposed to
contain a minimal required configs to build an Android system. However, if
you ensure your arch/x86/configs/android-x86_defconfig has all necessary
options enabled, this is not needed.

Android.mk from 3.10.52 can be used. Kernel base dir structure is the same
on 3.10.52 and 3.16 (some minor differences).
There's only one Broadcom driver download inside this... Not sure if has to
be changed...

Post by Mauro Rossi
Regarding android-x86_defconfig file how was it generated? Using kconfig
merge scripts and merging necessary and recommended kernel config lines as
per kernel/android files and instructions?

Here's how I generated mine:
- Got android-x86_defconfig from 3.10.52 and copied to $OUT/obj/kernel and
renamed it to .config
- Under ANDROID_SRC dir I run a "make -C kernel O=$OUT/obj/kernel ARCH=x86
oldconfig" to import the common settings from 3.10.52. For the new
parameters, I choose the default answer
- When finished, I run a "make -C kernel O=$OUT/obj/kernel ARCH=x86
menuconfig" to check extra drivers/parameters I want to enable (e.g
enabling crypto modules)
- Finally, I copy $OUT/obj/kernel/.config to arch/x86/configs and rename
it to android-x86_defconfig

I tested this build on my Sony Vaio Pro 11. All seems to be working well except GPS. Also Wifi works, but does't always come back properly after suspend/resume. On the positive side, the suspend stays suspended as opposed to the 4.4.2 r1 build which keeps waking up every few seconds.

To use the merging way, suppose you are in the vanilla 3.16 branch
(assume both branches are already in your repository.
if not, use git fetch to get them)
git merge android-3.14
then use 'git status' to check which files
have conflicts, and edit them manually
to remove the conflicts.
Then use 'git add filename' to add the files
you resolved the conflicts.
Once all conflicts are resolved, you are done.
Try to build it and fix errors if any.
Use 'git commit' to commit it.
The rebasing way is almost the same, except
you have to resolve conflicts in each patch separately.
Could be simpler but take longer time.

I tested your build in my system (i3 540,ATi 5770), and it is really fast
one. Antutu jumped from 52837 (original 4.4-R1) to 66400.
I am also having that WPA bug, but it connects to open wifi.

The results so far are quite nice, hope you continue developing.

can you tell the brand/model of your wifi card?

Question : Does r2 works with AMD systems? What kernel x Mesa does it use?

When u say AMD, you mean graphic card or CPU?
If graphic card, if not a Radeon CGN (like R7, R9), should work (I have a
A10 5800K, works ok).
It uses Mesa 9.2.0 + kernel 3.10.52

Wifi card = Broadcom BCM4313 802.11 BGN and I was talking about AMD A8 APU
:P I managed to boot up and run 4.4r1 for a while but then after a while I
start to get this graphic glitches and eventually my system stops
responding :( I tried a modified iso of rc1 with 10.1.1 which works fine
btw :P

Still no luck with built in WiFi ... :( Tried rosewill wifi dongle ...
works for like 2-3 mins, gets dc and system becomes highly unstable.

can you tell the brand/model of your wifi card?
Question : Does r2 works with AMD systems? What kernel x Mesa does it use?
When u say AMD, you mean graphic card or CPU?
If graphic card, if not a Radeon CGN (like R7, R9), should work (I have a
A10 5800K, works ok).
It uses Mesa 9.2.0 + kernel 3.10.52

On kernel 3.10.x, BCM4313 is enabled by Broadcom proprietary driver "wl". I
haven't included this on 3.16 and brcmsmac (the opensource driver) is
disabled on kernel config (requires proprietary fw to work)
Will try to include it later... But you are free to do this by yourself :)

Can you provide me quick instructions or point me to a resource ? :)

To make your changes, you'll have to build an Android-x86 compiling
environment. Check this instructions carefully:
http://www.android-x86.org/getsourcecode

Notes:
- Don't forget to read http://www.android-x86.org/getsourcecode and
install all the dependencies listed
- Use jdk6 (Oracle distribution) and not jdk7 (It's a common mistake)

After building your environment (and downloading all Android src with "repo
init / repo sync") you can change code and compile stuff
In your case (enable broadcom for kernel 3.16), download modded kernel src,
replace ANDROID_SRC/kernel

After this, you can download the Broadcom proprietary firmware:
http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php and check readme file
for more details

To build your kernel, read this first:
http://www.android-x86.org/documents/customizekernel


All this procedure may seem complicated, but this is not. You just have to
read all the docs with attention, have patience and don't give up if
something goes wrong.
May the force be with you!

[Mauro Rossi]

Hi,

I forgot to mention about a strangeness, when booting on Intel chipsets the
Mesa driver loaded with 3.16 kernel builds is vmwgfx gallium driver,
which seems to be treated as a valid EGL driver and takes precedence over
i915/i965.

Is it correct that in order to avoid this completely, I could simply remove
vmwgfx from BoardConfig.mk file?

Alternatively: which is the exact moment/way to use the command: export
EGL_DRIVER egl_dri2?
To be launched at first prompt, second prompt or inserted in the init.sh
script hal_gralloc() function?
Is the syntax correct?

I'm not able to force dri2 Intel drivers, because I'm doing something wrong.
Thanks

M.

Yea no luck :( Btw how can I get the gapps on iso images like this ?

[Mauro Rossi]

Hi,

in order to build ISO images you can refer to AOSP build environment setup
instructions and expecially to Android-x86 website source download and
build instructions.

Remeber to install Oracle Java 6 and not version 7 for building
Android-x86 branch kitkat-x86.

In order to add gapps on ISO, after completing the build without gapps, you
can use the attached script,
provided that you have an ISO image already having gapps.

0) download attached gapps.sh to your user Downloads folder
1) set gapps.sh attribute/permission with executable flag
2) move downloaded ISO with gapps to your user Downloads folder
3) if you use android-x86-4.4-r1.iso name, also by renaming any other 4.4.x
ISO, you don't need to modify gapps.sh script
4) check your source directory because the script declares it with this
line:

export ANDROID_BASE_SRC="/home/utente/kitkat-x86"

5) edit previous line by updating with your source folder

6) launch ./gapps.sh

7) rebuild iso_img

Cheers

Mauro

Correction to step 3) statement, you will have anyway to modify gapps.sh script according to step 4) and 5) instructions.

[rbg]

what happened to etc/permissions & frameworks & lib changes from gapps
system folder??

reason I ask is I push system from gapps,zip for given build through adb to
my device and
it all works fine....your method doesn't move any of the files from
permissions/frameworks/lib and it all works fine as well???

good to know if a fact........!!

Hi,

I tried once the method of copying entire /system folder extracted from a
gapps archive (gapps-kk-20140606.zip) to proper out/target/x86/ but I had
problems
the additional apps were not visible.

This procedure was suggested to me, but I'm not 100% aware of its
completness, we can complete it together

Looking
here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/android-x86/google$20apps/android-x86/11n-3m1vpW4/ThkxwaeXQqEJ

also these files were suggested for copying to target with ICS, I don't
know if there were changes in JB, KK:

system/etc/permissions/features.xml
system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.media.effects.xml

For gapps you can do something like this:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-x86/Dhp9tYMHoCs

Note: remove also $OUT/./obj/PACKAGING/systemimage_intermediates/system.img



To blacklist a module, you can edit device/generic/x86/modules.blacklist
and add the module you want. Ex:
blacklist b43

Sorry but I dont have the skills to recompile android x86. Can anyone
kindly do it for me? :(

[Andrew Stubbs]

I have attempted to recompile the android 5.0 sources with this kernel.
When compiling, it errors out saying No rule to make target
`out/target/product/x86/kernel', needed by

Any idea's? - As soon as i delete the sources on the new kernel, and

Hi everybody,
I'm sharing with you an experimental kernel 3.16 modded for Android-x86.
Basically, the job was diff released kernel.org src with android x86
kernel, compared the changes and created patches to apply on 3.16.
Also used experimental kernel 3.14 released from AOSP to ensure which
changes were related to Android.
Some extra changes were required in order to compile and run it (listed
some of then in the end of this post)
In the systems I tested (AMD A10 5800K / Celeron E3300 with Nvidia GT630)
most of basic functions worked (watching videos, surfing at Web, etc).
Nouveau performs a bit better with this kernel than the previous one
(3.10.x), due the driver changes inside kernel. I noted a big difference
playing videos.
Currently, wifi network is not working (unable to store keys /authenticate
- appears to be related to wpa-supplicant). Haven't tested with open
networks.
Wired network is working.

If you want to build your system with these changes, here's 2 alternatives

files from the correspondent directory (kernel, arch, drivers, etc)
1.4) Copy Android.mk file from Android-x86 kernel dir (ANDROID_SRC/kernel)
to your downloaded kernel directory
1.5) Replace current Android-x86 kernel directory (ANDROID_SRC/kernel) by

Note: The kernel module is on

Hello.
Thanks for the help.
Unfortunately touchscreen does not work, although it is present in the lsmod
.
goodix 3011 0 - Live 0x00000000
In the folder /dev/input new events does not appear.
ls /dev/input
event0 - keyboard
event1 - mouse
event2 - ?
event3 - ?
event4 - ?
mice - mouse
mouse0 - mouse

Please send me the source code of the kernel with patches and Intel drivers
installed on the my email (***@gmail.com). Or place them on file sharing.
Source code drivers are constantly updated. I would not be comfortable every
time ask them to compile. If I have the kernel sources, I can compile the
driver himself.
Sorry for my bad english.

All the sources are on github

https://github.com/pstglia/linux

One of the branches is kernel 3.16.1

Many drivers are already enabled on this (basically the same as 3.10, as I got them with a make oldconfig)

You can enable/disable mesa/drm drivers on BoardConfig.mk

Hi everybody,
I'm sharing with you an experimental kernel 3.16 modded for Android-x86.
Basically, the job was diff released kernel.org src with android x86
kernel, compared the changes and created patches to apply on 3.16.
Also used experimental kernel 3.14 released from AOSP to ensure which
changes were related to Android.
Some extra changes were required in order to compile and run it (listed
some of then in the end of this post)
In the systems I tested (AMD A10 5800K / Celeron E3300 with Nvidia
GT630) most of basic functions worked (watching videos, surfing at Web,
etc).
Nouveau performs a bit better with this kernel than the previous one
(3.10.x), due the driver changes inside kernel. I noted a big difference
playing videos.
Currently, wifi network is not working (unable to store keys
/authenticate - appears to be related to wpa-supplicant). Haven't tested
with open networks.
Wired network is working.

the source code is android-x86 first lollipop-x86 release, we have since
moved onto the 5.0.0_r7 release which
is very much the same, you can sync either from their git I assume.....
(IMO you'd be better off with the latest 5.0.0_r7 release)

the kernel is here in this thread, we provided the patches to Pstglia's
original 3.16.0 kernel to upgrade
it to 3.16.1, which he used as I recall to update his kernel...which is
available from his github pointer listed here also...

we do have some backups here which I'll check over the upcoming
thanksgiving holiday......

there was one thing I do recall though.....the Boardconfig.mk had a driver
that was provided by someone
and was incorporated.....in kernel 3.16.1 it was "out of staging or where
ever we got it from" and part of the regular
kernel 3.16.1, so we had to disabled it in Boardconfig.mk and enabled it in
kernel defconfig for a correct build....

the defconfig we used was always from the provided kernel supplied by an
android-x86 sync....with any changes like
the one referred to above and others mentioned by testers in this
forum..........(multitouch/ntrig etc.)

I have attempted to recompile the android 5.0 sources with this kernel.
When compiling, it errors out saying No rule to make target
`out/target/product/x86/kernel', needed by
`out/target/product/x86/android_x86.iso'
Any idea's? - As soon as i delete the sources on the new kernel, and
replace the default it compiles OK.

Had the same problem when compiling Lollipop with 3.16 . Removed
Android.mk from kernel dir and could compile it.

Hi rbg, can you post the rtl8723au's drivers that you used into this
ISO? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2evBKvIpdYkbTlFZmd0WWxmdE0/view

I've been trying to get this working, but everytime I run my ISO, the wifi
start turning on and never get to it.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everybody,
I'm sharing with you an experimental kernel 3.16 modded for Android-x86.
Basically, the job was diff released kernel.org src with android x86
kernel, compared the changes and created patches to apply on 3.16.
Also used experimental kernel 3.14 released from AOSP to ensure which
changes were related to Android.
Some extra changes were required in order to compile and run it (listed
some of then in the end of this post)
In the systems I tested (AMD A10 5800K / Celeron E3300 with Nvidia GT630)
most of basic functions worked (watching videos, surfing at Web, etc).
Nouveau performs a bit better with this kernel than the previous one
(3.10.x), due the driver changes inside kernel. I noted a big difference
playing videos.
Currently, wifi network is not working (unable to store keys /authenticate
- appears to be related to wpa-supplicant). Haven't tested with open
networks.
Wired network is working.

If you want to build your system with these changes, here's 2 alternatives
1.1) Download kernel 3.16 source (from kernel.org) and unpack it

files from the correspondent directory (kernel, arch, drivers, etc)
1.4) Copy Android.mk file from Android-x86 kernel dir (ANDROID_SRC/kernel)
to your downloaded kernel directory
1.5) Replace current Android-x86 kernel directory (ANDROID_SRC/kernel) by
your patched 3.16

nvm, I got this working.

For people who have rtl8723au as wifi driver and it doesn't work, do those

~/kernel/arch/x86/configs
android-x86_defconfig
Change "# CONFIG_R8723AU is not set" to "CONFIG_R8723AU=m"
~/device/generic/common
BoardConfig.mk
Erase 8723au from TARGET_EXTRA_KERNEL_MODULES.

Notice that this will only work on this kernel 3.16.

[Greg McGee]

the goodix touchscreen and the rtl8723au are (iirc) used on the Microcenter
Winbook tablets, which seem to be nice hardware otherwise.
The wifi and BT are on the same chip, are both working yet?

The Winbooks do have a full size USB3 port, so adding a dongle if you
really need BT should be possible.

I know it might be a stupid question, but how would I go along to get the
MicroCenter Winbook TW801 working correctly. The WiFI (Realtek RTL8723BS
Wireless LAN 802.11n SDIO Network Adapter) won't work along with Bluetooth
(I don't know, Windows Device Manager has no info.) The Goodix
Touchscreenworks fine in the Android 4.4 rc2 EFI Image.

Hi,

Hi pstglia,

Post by nguyen ngoc thang
I'm an android newbie. I have a question about porting custom kernel to
android x86. If I want to use your kernel 3.16 with android lollipop 5.1.1,
What do I do? Can you get some guides for me, pls?
Thanks and Brg!

Basically, you have to:

1) Replace kernel directory by the kernel source you want to compile
2) Include Android makefiles on it (kernel/Android.mk, in this case)
3) Create a Android kernel config for your target. To do this, I basically
run on root source directory (assuming your target is lollipop with 64 bits
build):

. build/envsetup.sh
lunch lollipop-x86-eng
make -C kernel O=$OUT/obj/kernel ARCH=*x86_64* oldconfig

4) After running the cmds above, I copy $OUT/obj/kernel/.config to
kernel/arch/x86/configs/android-x86_64_defconfig

5) At least, this patch is mandatory to enable booting your kernel (HACK:
drm: disable GPU authentication):
https://sourceforge.net/p/android-x86/kernel/ci/6daa9a6a4b9727ed2f3567199130f336e8bd810a/

Maybe some more details are required, but basically that's it from what I
recall

Use this to have more details:
http://www.android-x86.org/documents/customizekernel

[thangnn]

Thanks pstglia,
I replaced android x86 lollipop kernel (4.0.9) by your kernel
(v3.16_android) as your guides and compiled complete.
But I can't boot it. I can use debug mode, only console not graphic. I
think that it has problem with graphic. But I can not get log msg. I'm
using stb intel Atom(TM) CPU Z3735F, baytrail audio.
With android x86 lollipop kernel (4.0.9), get from
http://www.android-x86.org, I can boot complete. But, drivers is good
with kernel 3.10 - 3.16. So I want to downgrade the kernel.

Thanks & Best regards!

libdrm and mesa versions. Maybe the newer versions are incompatible with
this old kernel version. If that's the case, you should downgrade mesa and
libdrm too.
Take a look at dmesg / logcat

By the way: What is your hardware you have and specifically which drivers
works better with 3.16 than current version?

[thangnn]

Should I downgrade mesa and libdrm to android-x86 4.4.4?I will try it.
If I boot normal, I can not get logcat/dmesg. Because of it always
reboot after detecting android x86 and found dev/sda1...
Audio driver works better with 3.16 than 4.0.9. With version 4.0.9, I
can't find audio device (baytrail audio for hdmi & jack 3.5). And every
patch files for kernel 3.10-3.16.

Thanks & Best regards!

Thanks pstglia,
I replaced android x86 lollipop kernel (4.0.9) by your kernel
(v3.16_android) as your guides and compiled complete.
But I can't boot it. I can use debug mode, only console not
graphic. I think that it has problem with graphic. But I can not
get log msg. I'm using stb intel Atom(TM) CPU Z3735F, baytrail audio.
With android x86 lollipop kernel (4.0.9), get from
http://www.android-x86.org, I can boot complete. But, drivers is
good with kernel 3.10 - 3.16. So I want to downgrade the kernel.

AMCR0F28 is the acpi id for intel machine driver. Codec / Dsp should be
Realtek or max device.

cat /proc/asound/cards can show you more info

[thangnn]

Hi pstglia,
to downgrade mesa and libdrm, Can you get some guides for me, pls?
Now, I replace folders external/drm, external/mesa, hardware/drm_gralloc
by android 4.4.4 version. With hardware/intel/img/libdrm, I don't know
how to replace it.

Thanks & Best regards!

Just replace external/mesa and external/libdrm from an older version
(preferable matching the version used on 3.16)

About hardware/intel/img/libdrm: This directory doesn't exists (at least on
sources/builds I use)

[thangnn]

from previous msgs, I replaced external/mesa and external/libdrm by
android 4.4_r3. But it has the same error. I'm continuous checking it.
I cat /proc/asound/cards but I don't see AMCR0F28 and HAD0F28. So I can
not probe drivers.

Thanks & Best regards!

Just to confirm: This kernel src was prepared for a 32 bits build. This is
your target right? (32 bits)

[nguyen ngoc thang]

Oh NO, My target is 64 bits. But I think that it supports 32 bits too.
