Anyone know where I can find source for Linux kernel 3.18.0-25-rpi2 used on Ubuntu 14.04 image for Raspberry Pi 2?
Shared publicly
I dont think such an image exists at all where did you get it from ?Mar 7, 2016
It is an unofficial image by +Ryan Finnie https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RaspberryPi#Kernel
He wrote on that page:
The kernel used by the Raspberry Pi 2 port is an Ubuntu-style kernel package of an "rpi2" flavor, e.g. linux-image-3.18.0-20-rpi2. Currently it is comprised of the following functionality:
* Mainline 3.18.x
* Fork of Ubuntu-3.18.0-14.15 from the ubuntu-vivid git tree
* Raspberry Pi-specific patches from the rpi-3.18.y branch of Raspberry Pi's linux git treeMar 7, 2016- well, ask Ryan then... The only thing we officially support on the rpi yet is ubuntu-snappy, using the linux-raspi2 package which only spans from 4.2 to 4.4 versions.Mar 7, 2016
- +Oliver Grawert ok, thanks, that would actually be preferred as the reason was to compile fbtft framebuffer drivers. fbtft was added to staging in 4.0. prior to that it was out-of-tree and hosted on github.
My interest is that I'm trying to help someone on Adafruit forum that was using this unofficial 14.04 image to run ROS on RPi2: https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=86331&p=460114&hilit=ubuntu+fbtft#p457474
_It is critically important for all the community, because Robot Operating System can be installed only on 14.04., and ROS is the most exciting thing ever to use on Raspberry Pi - even NASA Robonaut 2 is running ROS on ISS space station! Please see how many robots are using ROS: http://wiki.ros.org/Robots_Mar 7, 2016 - snapcraft comes with full ROS support by default (robotics are one of the main targets for snappy ) perhaps you want to take a look ;)Mar 7, 2016
- +Oliver Grawert thanks! i'll check out these instructions: https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/snappy/build-apps/ros-snap/Mar 7, 2016
- +Kyle Fazzari should be able to help if you have any questions (and indeed there is #snappy on freenode)Mar 7, 2016
