It does not boot linux system with dual boot update at 29 Jan 2015 that is RK3288_DualBoot_201501271613.7z. There is no problem to boot Android but I can't boot linux system with this image. So, I replace the resource.img with old resource.img at 11 Dec 2014 and then it is ok to boot linux. Please check the linux booting problem.

Hi wico,

Are you able to provide a android ROM with DTS/AC3 audio PassTrough (SPIDF, digital optical output, and probably HDMI too)? There are already (since December last year) RK3288 board with this feature available! Please, check on freaktab, firmwares from Ugoos, Tronsmart, Beelink etc. They all have this feature.

Hope you can bring us this nice feature any time soon!

Regards

As far as I know,  AC3/DTS  requires authorization from soc's vendor,it is not free

I'm using the 0930 standard board. There is black screen during linux booting so I connect USB to serial adapter to Firefly. When I see the booting messages, the firefly boots forever.

cgsong, make sure you are using correct power adapter (try to plug in a computer USB and see if it works).

So, I can guess DTS/AC3 sound will never be possible. Nice.

Title: Re: Technical briefing for Firefly-RK3288：Updates for firmware and Android 4...
I'm using correct power adapter and there is no problem in previous Firefly official image. Wico, please verify linux kernel booting message. When I see the booting message, dts node for fuel guage is something wrong.

Author: zhansb Time: 2/12/2015 10:25
Title: Re: Technical briefing for Firefly-RK3288：Updates for firmware and Android 4...

have you update your parameter, the cmdline must contain ttyS2 and earyprintk instead of ttyFIQ0.

you can find it at FFTools/parameter/

Author: cgsong Time: 2/12/2015 10:55
Title: Re: Technical briefing for Firefly-RK3288：Updates for firmware and Android 4...

Thanks.

It is working and I update parameter file wih ttyS2.

Please update the Linux Image. This version is too old. We should be presented with custom OSMC, Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora images made for Firefly platform... Looks like Firefly software developers have adandoned Linux side.

Where is our promised GPU acceleration drivers in Linux? Why is it not integrated in a Linux image?

Also please fix the issue of missing monitor resolutions in the rockchip kernel. Two major desktop resolutions are not supported yet: 1366x768 and 1920x1200. Almost half of desktop resolutions are 1366x768 and 1920x1200 but Firefly 3288 doesnt support them... This is sad.

If Firefly community continues to be dead like this, I will switch to Raspberry Pi 2 forever. Maybe Raspberry Pi 2 is a lot slower than Firefly 3288 but at least it has an active community that always works to improve the software and help users on the forum about their problems.
