Hi guys, I don't remember who it was at the last meeting that had an Odroid C2 that could not get it working. I thought I would post some notes on what I found that was not documented when I searched the web.
For anyone dealing with that bit of hardware, there is still several things software related that are still broke. Specifically of two web browsers, neither one works reliably if at all yet. The bits that I found necessary to put Ubuntu (16.04) on the Odroid C2: Download the software: http://odroid.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=en:c2_release_linux_ubuntu Move it somewhere and then use xz to decompress the image into an iso file. xz -d ubuntu64-16.04lts-mate-odroid-c2-20160525.img.xz Use the MicroSD card adapter to plug the MicroSD card into the card reader / writer. If you plug the MicroSD card into the reader / writer directly it apparently will only allow you to write to the wrong partition. use lsmod to see if the usb-storage module is in the kernel. If not: modprobe usb-storage In my case I found the memory card was seen as /dev/sdb. That may not be the case on another system. You may be able to use: sudo fdisk -l to find out if the memory card is available. If so then use fdisk /dev/(whatever) to delete whatever partitions you find on the card. Be sure to write changes before exiting fdisk. The last step: dd if=./ubuntu64-16.04lts-mate-odroid-c2-20160525.img of=/dev/sd? bs=512 That will take some time for the write to finish. Might as well go for supper. Just to be sure the card was not mounted I did a mount command to make sure and pulled the card out. Then your ready to put the MicroSD card in the Odroid and power it up. Be sure not to drop power to the Odroid while it is booting up for the first time. It is moving stuff around and repartitioning the MicroSD card on the first boot up. That is the short version that worked, and not exactly according to the instructions I found on the web. Hope this was useful. Dave -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
