Hi,

this is a good news... one question: was it tested with Kodi? Should we expect to have it wor ...

Hi zeno:
the kodi can't work smoothly with this version.the GPU havn't worked on it's  full-pow,and also with the VPU . so,we have much more work to do .
We have a plan to fix these problems. however，We're actually a bit short-handed at the moment. The good news is we will build a alliance with some  people who are good at it.
so,if everything goes well . It shouldn't take a very long time to get these problems solved.

yes,the Lubuntu alone image will release very soon.

if somebody get   mistake when update the dualboot image . pls try this on windows system.

Hello Isle,

Yes,we know,we use armsoc so  the gpu(maliT760) can run  .

and the hdmi problem,we haven't this appearance. could you give more informations?

isle

Hi guys,
the kernel source code is here : https://github.com/T-Firefly/firefly-3.14-kernel
and the armsoc will come up later.

isle

Hi Asuuga
     we are using 3.14 kernel because It's more stable than 4.4, It  is base on rockchip's chromeos kernel .
     Right now the 4.4 kernel has much work  to do. and we will change to 4.4 when it's get more stable.
