Well so my lappy post has morphed into a (native) compile beast for
Arm64. For now ignoring the differences in SoC (arm64 chips). So
Hikey-960 has this ddr4 SBC:
https://www.amazon.com/hikey-960/s?page=1&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Ahikey 960
But I found a hikey-970 with 6gig of LPDDR4 on amazon::
https://www.amazon.com/SmartFly-info-HiKey-Single-Computer/dp/B07D13YVS9/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07D13YVS9&pd_rd_r=6f217453-ec12-11e8-b84d-d3ea889372c2&pd_rd_w=SidaA&pd_rd_wg=uqDha&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=7d5d9c3c-5e01-44ac-97fd-261afd40b865&pf_rd_r=28NZJA5QJCAJXKTY1QH6&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1#customerReviews
(4) of those Hikey 960/970 boards aught to bid a nice arm laptop, but
some post the boards get warm and will need fan cooling.... (OK)
Question is has anyone put gentoo on the HiKey 960 or 970 model?
I'm a bit challenged these days to lead the effort to put gentoo on one
of those. TomH had an image up for the 2015 vintage Hikey (64-bit)
board, but I cannot find it anywhere now.....
I'm not sure the experimental (arm64) images work to bootstrap a working
version.
I did find this page::
https://www.linaro.org/services/bsp-builds-support/
Perhaps :: Boards with Debian and OE support
is the pathway for gentoo, but I cannot find those images.
I did find this::
https://github.com/96boards/documentation/blob/master/consumer/hikey/hikey620/build/linux-kernel.md
any sort of minimal portage at this point that would work?
I'm not certain how straightforward it is to put (embedded/minimized)
gentoo onto the Hikey 960/970 boards? Other than that look great
since you can put separate, distrete antennae on the board, one for 2.4
and the other for 5 GHz ISM/wifi needs.
Troubling wikipedia About AOSP::
"These measures are likely intended to discourage forks and encourage
commercial licensing in line with Google requirements, as the majority
of the operating system's core functionality (and in turn, third-party
software), are dependent on proprietary components licensed exclusively
by Google, and it would take significant development resources to
develop an alternative suite of software and APIs to replicate or
replace them. Apps that do not use Google components would also be at a
functional disadvantage, as they can only use APIs contained within the
OS itself."
So these Hikey boards are meant for vendors under license control?
What the deal with 96Boards?
