8 years ago --- Quote Start --- I must've missed out the update in this thread - well, that's the drawback of subscribing to too many of these :) If you are doing something close to Terasic's 1604 release, note that you'll need the some additional frame driver that may not be included in the default .defconfig file. I would propose following the linaro's example here: https://rocketboards.org/foswiki/view/projects/sockitlinarolinuxdesktop except that you can switch out the kernel to Altera's own git and follow the instruction here: https://rocketboards.org/foswiki/view/documentation/embeddedlinuxbeginnersguide (press the > button until you reach "8. Configuring and Compiling Linux Kernel") Sorry I couldn't be of a better help, I've not ventured far down this path myself... --- Quote End --- Thanks sunshine for having a look, I'll check out the links. The SoC is talking to a server where it would be easy for me to add the GPS and modify the kernel if need be, another member of the team has put this forward which would mean I may not have to worry about the SoC talking to the GPS - however I will still pursue it as I'd like the option. I'll let you know how I get on. Thanks again!
