lilwizAnyone know if HP Slatebook can be turned into an Ubuntu laptop? (It comes with Android on eMMC, Tegra 4 ARM processor)14:33
ogra_if the bootloader and kernel are open you surely can hack that up ... but likely only with framebuffer driver (no acceleration at all)14:36
lilwizOuch14:36
lilwizAlright, it was worth an ask :)14:36
bama_Guys ,I m porting ubuntu arm64 14.04 into an android tv box, running kernel 3.10.x ,can you tell me how can I get a correct initramfs?16:40
infinityogra_, lilwiz: It might work with nouveau.  Newer Tegras are meant to.16:40
bama_anyone interesting with RK3368 8cores Aarch6416:41
bama_:join #ubuntu-arm6416:43
infinitybama_: Using random Android kernel builds isn't really in scope for an Ubuntu channel, to be fair.16:44
ogra_whats #ubuntu-arm64 ?16:44
bama_i type a wrong command in irc16:45
ogra_still that shouldnt exist16:45
ogra_this channel here is good enough for 32 and 64 bit together :)16:46
bama_thanks16:46
bama_is there any strong relationship between kernel and initramfs?16:46
ogra_depends on your kernel config16:48
infinitybama_: If you need an initramfs at all, then yes, there's a strong relationship, as the initramfs contains kernel modules.16:49
infinitybama_: But if all your storage drivers are built into the kernel (which is common with Android kernels), you don't need an initramfs at all.16:49
infinityYou just need to boot with "root=/dev/whatever" and watch the magic.16:49
ogra_if everything your system needs to boot the rootfs (all systemd options, uboot, filesystems etc) is compiled in... the initrd isnt that important ... if any of your drivers needed to get to rootfs is a module, you need an initrd though16:49
