Kernel config

[JanKoppe]

Hi,

has anyone managed to get a kernel config out of the device? So far I haven't found it in the usual places, seems like it has been deactivated during build. I'd love to add some additional basic kernel modules. Ideally though, a newer Kernel than the used 3.18.20 would be perfect.

I've found some copy of a modified Linux source here https://github.com/Iscle/hi3520dv400_linux, not sure if this is the one being used though and it would still be questionable which exact config I'd need to build a compatible kernel.

I'm running the enc1 v2 hardware here, can you attach to the u-boot via the exposed RS232 port, or are there known pinouts on the board itself? Would love to establish u-boot connection first before potentially messing with the kernel and bricking my device. :)

The pinout for UARTs can be found here: https://github.com/matiaspl/LinkPi-ENCx#f3520d-pinout

Did you have any success at building the kernel?

I did manage to build one myself, using the github tree you linked, but it crashes as soon as the non-standard hi3521 modules are attempted to be loaded by the linkpi system. :/
