Is there any way to access hardware button on Pi PC?.. It's on PL03. From .fex file I see that it is used as part of UART, I am not sure why tho.

To access it as general GPIO PL03 should be added to [gpio_para] section in fex.
It is the Rx pin of the debug uart, but it is not used.
If using it at GPIO, you should disable key_used in [gpio_power_key]

Hi all,

I have compiled a kernel from loboris github (great work by the way) and I have also build a linux distro from the second loboris repository. But how do I integrate my own custom build kernel in my own custom build distro image?

After building the kernel/scripts, just copy uImage* and script.bin.* from build directory to the fat partition on your sd card, and and the content of the build/lib directory to the linux partition on your sd card.
You can also copy them to the orange directory in your linux distro build directory to be used in future builds.
Tip: Separate lib directories are created in build directory for opi-2 and opi-plus kernel build, but they are the same, you can use any one, just rename it to lib

Hi all, this is my first post in the forum.
I have OPI PC and debian jessie minimal installed. Everything works fine except wifi dongles. I have another problem, when configure a external ntfs hdd in fstab, if boot the system without the drive attached, the system boot in safe mode. How can i solve it? sometimes I need to start without any connected disk. Thanks

Do not configure a external ntfs hdd in fstab, or try to use nofail and nobootwait options.
If you dont need the drive at boot time put the mount command in /etc/rc.local.

I have wierd problem kswapd0 process. While I'm using usb disk (through samba) kswapd process using almost 100% of cpu.
I've read on internet it's old kernel problem. Could you prepare uImage with some newer kernel than 3.49 please?

Thanks loboris, nofail and nobootwait works fine. By the way, is it there an option to disable automatic run of graphical interface?. I installed lxde trought desktop scripts.
