Hi I am using an Olimex A20 SOM with NAND and due to some binary blob for NAND driver, I am stuck with the sunxi kernel 3.4.xxx version. (Repo here: https://github.com/linux-sunxi/linux-sunxi)Please work with the vendor that is forcing you to use this obsolete and insecure kernel version. You are paying for that support, and they are the only ones that can support you.The problem is vendor Olimex now have eMMC based SOM which is supported by mainline kernel _but_ they still selling NAND SOM and only supporting 3.4 kernel (as this is the only latest version from sunxi with NAND support, after that sunxi is now moved away from NAND too).
If they are forcing you to use a binary kernel module, then they are the only ones that can give you support, sorry. That should be included in the price you paid for the hardware. If not, you need to go complain to your purchasing department :) Good luck! greg k-h _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
