Hi all, TLDR: I can’t use the SolidRun HoneyComb LX2K as a desktop system with newer kernels due to patches that became incompatible Below are some questions: 1. Do the lx2160a\_build images support video-out via DisplayPort over an AMDGPU (RX 580) =\> Would it be trivial to add it? (Could I do it myself if I have little programming knowledge?) 2. Does it also support booting off of SATA drives? =\> If yes, how can I boot off of one? # Kernel/Mesa support timeline: in 2021 the driver for the ethernet NIC (I think fsl\_dpaa2) landed into Linux 5.14 With 5.16 and later (I believe), the kernel changed so that booting a non-vendor kernel didn’t work - Jon built me a UEFI image with with an ecam part, which made booting work again (Thank you a lot, Jon!) - The mesa patch that fixes graphical glitches on Xorg and Xwayland applications with AMDGPU cards, stopped working (applying) ever since Mesa 22.3.7. (Using wayland mostly fixes the glitches) - [Linux 6.3 was the last vendor kernel made by SolidRun]( [GitHub - SolidRun/linux-stable at linux-6.3.y-cex7 · GitHub](https://github.com/SolidRun/linux-stable/tree/linux-6.3.y-cex7) ), so I gathered the necessary patches and applied them to my kernels. - With Kernel 6.18, eMMC-support stopped, around 7.0.0 many patches stopped applying (which I noticed I didn’t need) - and now the `818da6795040209e55b360ec9e28d1539a7da61f-fsl-mc-bus.patch` is incompatible with 7.2.0, which causes the fsl\_dpaa2 ethernet NIC to not work anymore due to an error shown in the dmesg. - I booted some normal distribution kernels with the lx2160a\_build image and noticed that all things worked, probably due to device-tree. - trying to upstream the following patches: 13b8f32de441c499418269b07c7d199bfeea036e-memcpy.patch 2a827b2d3f18c13ffe7e824af4e92c17f28a1ce5-dpio-driver.patch 4030ddfd0e381814b52f00a07b98239c2f58c754-entry-common.patch 5716686ddc4527c24b30d595903525eda593ece1-pcie-layerscape-ecam.patch 780aebfdd1f506e7883429edf7a42c512377e4ce-entry.patch 818da6795040209e55b360ec9e28d1539a7da61f-fsl-mc-bus.patch 87fe1d4b69e9f36b6aa72f357a39047d109d2103-dprc-driver.patch 8ba90cd0971052a3752c0f5fe60161a37aa5193d-acpi\_apd.patch df6e0b3f2be312d3a3d1e5a0957119996db96e21-iommu.patch
