Hi All,

I released the RC7 for the X5000 and X1000 today.

New:

• X5000: The DPAA Ethernet fixes have been added to the official Linux kernel source code. We don't need the DPAA patches anymore. (Thanks to Camelia and Madalin)
• Linux 4.16-rc7 Kernel Released, Final Likely Next Week -- phoronix
• Linus Torvalds release announcement
• Phoronix articles, reviews and news stories covering Linux 4.16
• Linux Git log

Download: vmlinux-4.16-rc7-AmigaOne_X1000_X5000.tar.gz

Screenshot of ubuntu MATE 16.04.4 LTS PowerPC with the RC7 of kernel 4.16 and with access to the Typhoon TView RDS + FM Stereo TV card:



Please test it.

Thanks,

Kernel 4.16 RC7 up and Running!

The DPAA Network patches which are now compiled in the kernel do not fix the X5000 ethernet problems.
My USB PCTV DVB-T stick also stopped working with RC7.

Many thanks for testing! Have you seen any error messages because of your USB PCTV DVB-T stick?

I will do some troubleshooting hopefully this evening.

Keep you posted!

My USB DVB-T stick is working again.. did a remove of TOTEM videoplayer, which i had installed previously... ( if this was really the problem is hard to tell..but working again)

the DPAA network issues still remain... Again i have made a video (with a screenscrabber this time, much better quality) where u can see the traffic die....
