Thanks. Need any help?

Hey @urjaman I wanted to say thanks for putting this together. I built your linux package this weekend and successfully booted it on my Asus C201. I've been trying to find a way to boot any kernel newer than 4.16 for a few months now without any kernel development knowledge. So far it's been stable, and HDMI works much better than the ArchLinuxArm 3.14 and 4.16 kernels.

I'm going to be keeping my eyes peeled on this repo but do you need any help with your efforts here? At the very least I can build new releases and verify it on my device.

Hi and thanks for the test and sorry that i dont look at github notifications much at all it seems.

Honestly i'm not consistent with my kernel updates and cant really keep up with upstream that well, so ehh... not much that you specifically can help with I'm afraid (but please tell me if i broke something).

---

In more general terms yeah I would like to join forces with any devs wanting to keep a kernel package for the c201 (can be other ARM chromebooks too, but) updated and tested and most importantly actually functional*...

(* yeah i know this isnt that good, lots of stuff (like suspending with the broadcom wifi... also bluetooth etc) is broken even with this, but hopefully less than raw mainline)

Hey @urjaman, it's been a while but thanks for the reply. (I guess I don't look at notifications much either ;)

I'm not running my C201 full-time anymore so have kind of dropped off on my enthusiasm, but would like to get back into it more in the future.

It may be worth noting a couple repos that I know are focused on kernel development for the RK3288 and C201:

• https://github.com/Miouyouyou/RockMyy
• https://github.com/SolidHal/PrawnOS
• https://github.com/dimkr/devsus

Along with your repo, these are the most stable options I've found. ArchLinuxArm had a decent kernel, too but it's gone downhill since I don't think there is enough users there with the laptop to support it or demand support.
