Balena support for ODROID boards

resin-odroid repository

Clone/Initialize the repository

There are two ways of initializing this repository:

• Clone this repository with "git clone --recursive".

or

• Run "git clone" and then "git submodule update --init --recursive". This will bring in all the needed dependencies.

Build information

balenaOS currently only builds with cgroups v1. If your distribution defaults to using cgroups v2, please boot with the following kernel command line argument: systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0

Containerized build

• If you have a working docker installation, you can build in a containerized environment as follows: ./balena-yocto-scripts/build/balena-build.sh -d <device type> -s <shared directory>

  Where:

  • Device type is one of the supported devices with a valid <device type name>.coffee description file.
  • Shared directory is the absolute path to the build folder

Native build

To build all supported device types natively, please make sure your Linux distribution is supported by Yocto Project.

Additional host tools need to be installed for native builds to work.

• Run the barys build script: ./balena-yocto-scripts/build/barys

• You can also run barys with the -h switch to inspect the available options

Custom build using this repository

• Run the barys build script in dry run mode to setup an empty build directory ./balena-yocto-scripts/build/barys --remove-build --dry-run

• Edit the local.conf in the build/conf directory

• Prepare build's shell environment source layers/poky/oe-init-build-env

• Run bitbake (see message outputted when you sourced above for examples)

Build flags

• Consult layers/meta-balena/README.md for info on various build flags (setting up serial console support for example) and build prerequisites. Build flags can be set by using the build scripts (barys or balena-build) or by manually modifying local.conf.

Unfortunately, the way u-boots recipe is configured, there is no easy way to inject this config option.

aufs bug creates unstoppable zombies

• Odroid-C1+ devices with an old kernel (3.10)
• puppeteer leaving orphaned chromium processes
• systemd not properly reaping the zombie because of the old kernel

Suggested solution: backport the following kernel patch from Ben Hutchings, message 47:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=812207#47

Also, backport the aufs utils patch.

Odroid C1 heartbeat breaks when led is blinked from dashboard

When I boot the device, the heartbeat is working fine. Then if I blink the LED from the dashboard, it's working. However, when the blink stops, the LED is off and the heartbeat is gone.

Request for new releases for ODROID-C1+

The most recent version available is v2.38.0+rev1.

Old linux kernel (3.18) is not suitable with Docker usage. Better shift on mainline kernel.

I see that it is the old kernel 3.18 which is used maybe it is time to use mainline kernel. You cannot say that docker is supported on this resinOS because i had lots of problem with docker and odroid c1 with old kernel.

Old kernel cannot be used in Docker Swarm mode. The overlay networks are not working. This means Docker is not well supported on this release. I ran the https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moby/moby/master/contrib/check-config.sh

and there is missing a lot of module.

Support For odroid N2 & N2+

Would it be possible to add N2 & N2+ to the support list ? there is an existing yocto bsp layer at https://github.com/akuster/meta-odroid

This could replace our RPI 4 (this board is not available till end of the year)

Update HOSTTOOLS to support building with balena-engine

Support for ODROID-HC1

Could you please add support for the ODROID-HC1? It is nearly the same as XU4 but optimized for NAS usage. All tested XU4 images run on it but not the balena-os one. Odroid doesn't even give the HC1 an own Wiki page because of the similarity.

Wrong for SERIAL_CONSOLE odroid-c1

The yocto BSP advertises the serial console as ttyAML0 while the BSP (kernel) actually exposes ttyS0. This breaks login on this device for development images.

Bluetooth Support by including kernel Modules

After using cat /proc/config.gz | gunzip to pull the following, I noticed with the help of Balena support that there are lines missing on the Odroid that are present on the Fin.

I understand this is the kernel configuration file and the versions don't match at the top.
The fin has:
4.14.98
The Odroid has:
4.19.1

I don't have enough experience to know if that may be an issue or not.

We need Bluetooth support for our application of this board, and including these modules seems like it might add that.

Relevant lines that are on the Fin but not the Odroid:

I am going to spend the next few hours/days trying to figure if I can make these changes myself (and how to build the kernel) to make this more of a pull request, but I don't expect to be successful.

Support odroid C2 for resin build

I've done some basic work in trying to get the odroid C2 booting resin, however I'm not terribly familiar with the resin build system. Using the master branch of resin-odroid, and simply adding the *.coffee files, I get an issue with recursive dependencies shortly after initializing tasks.

If I pull master of meta-odroid, I can get rid of the recursion error by adding
IMAGE_FSTYPES_remove_odroid-c2 = "sdcard"
to layers/meta-resin-odroid/recipes-core/images/resin-image-initramfs.bbappend, however when doing this, I will later get an issue with being unable to patch the kernel for AUFS support.

Any help or aid in getting this to build and run would be greatly appreciated.
