[IMAGE] A13(-WIFI) Debian (now Ubuntu) + xfce flashable (Updated: 08 Mar: R18)

[jwischka]

You'll probably need to recompile the whole kernel. You can also grab my latest (beta) image, which has a 3.4.43 kernel (with your driver built in.)

I already tried to recompile the whole kernel, but it failed.
I will try your new image.

Thanks

[pongo]

Another thing: I do not understand why my compilation failed, but you succeded.
These are my steps:

~$ sudo apt-get install build-essential git u-boot-tools ccache zlib1g-dev gawk bison flex gettext uuid-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev uboot-mkimage pkg-config libncurses5-dev
~$ sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf
~$ git clone https://github.com/linux-sunxi/linux-sunxi.git
~$ cd linux-sunxi
~/linux-sunxi$ git checkout sunxi-3.4
~/linux-sunxi$ cp ../config-video-r18 .config
~/linux-sunxi$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- menuconfig
~/linux-sunxi$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- uImage

Finally I got

Disable SPI. It's been broken for a month or so.

[pongo]

Disabling SPI I compiled successfully kernel using your .config R19-beta.
Thanks

Amazing! This is the only one image which works. Thank you.

I'm having a question. How I can configure the WiFi?

Edit the /etc/network/interfaces file.

[SlyCom]

Thanks a lot!

Is it possible to install java runtime?

You can install Java by:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install default-jre

[SlyCom]

Thanks!

I wrote small java application on my Win machine with RXTX library for (serial ports). Now I'd like to move the generated JAR file to my Olinuxino. How I can do this???

P.S.
I'm not sure but I've recently installed 'librxtx-java' maybe it would help?

Use filezilla to sftp it.

[SlyCom]

It works once again. Thanks!

Sorry but I'm having another question. I have USB=>serial. lsusb command shows it as CP210x UART bridge but it doesn't appears if I run dmesg command. How I can configure the device to work properly?

[jwischka]

Not sure. Are you seeing an error message, or does it appear in /dev?

[SlyCom]

No error messages. I've got "usb 2-1.2.2: new full-speed USB device number 7 using sw-ehci" and no ttUSB available in /dev
