Hi, I would like to have the patch used to compile the kernel used on v0.5. Can someone send me/ upload it to github? Best regards ---

the kernel of gs v0.5 is from @shell > [@GameShell OS update to kernel 5.3.6(With source code)](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/gameshell-os-update-to-kernel-5-3-6-with-source-code/4729): > > [DOWNLOAD](https://pan.hanwangsoft.com/f/1e53d74d30a64f159269/?dl=1)[SOURCE](https://pan.hanwangsoft.com/f/3c468065bee14a93a68b/?dl=1) USAGE:Plug your GameShell sdcard into your PC,on Windows you will see a driver with label " boot " in your File Manager, download and copy uImage into it,overwrite the one which already exists( DO A BACKUP BEFORE THIS ).If Windows ask you to format or repair your driver when you plug your sdcard,ignore it! NOTE:I don’t test on other versions of GameShell OS except v0.4. ---

Thanks! your code looks very good. I prefer to keep it with separate patches like you did to track the changes. I’ll try to compile it later. Can you tell me what patches are the bare minimum to get the cpi running? BR ---

Thanks! I saw that topic before, but I though that wasn’t the official kernel. Is it possible to copy it to the official cpi github? I think that this could be better for the community knows that all the important sources are there in one place. ---

> your code looks very good. thanks, i just adapted the official linux-armv7-rc from arch linux arm [PKGBUILDs/core/linux-armv7-rc at master · archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs · GitHub](https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/tree/master/core/linux-armv7-rc) > I prefer to keep it with separate patches like you did to track the changes. I’ll try to compile it later. still a lot of work, some file must be extracted from patch files to real files, also some may not be required anymore, for upcoming 5.5 branch the backlight driver need to be rewrited to reflect new backlight driver style. > Can you tell me what patches are the bare minimum to get the cpi running? in reality not any, official arch linux arm kernel could boot the gameshell, patches are required for sound, screen will init lately with official kernel, it will also miss the requirement for backlight, maybe others take care than clockwork os need uImage, for arch i changed the uboot cmd to load zImage instead, also mounted first partition as real /boot. arch will also require an initramfs, not on the debian ---

Very nice! I will try adding it to the battery monitor. I guess people would like to see the temp? I don’t know ---
