https://github.com/tardyp/switch-linux/tree/rebase_4.17

needs to be included inside Rootfs Kernel , or compile the 4.1.7 kernel from tardyp and insert the kernel to the rootfs

i didnt try it good luck

This will make the things much better.

This guy sharing things untested. This is how you brix.

Someone who wants to provide a fixed rootfs-build?

f0f channel devs wont release stuff without making sure they are save to test and this patch is used on the same kernel build as the switch

If this becomes a thing I'm gonna buy a keyboard case like those made for tablets and use my switch as an arm64 on the go computer. Can't wait to see it happening

Nonsense
Sound driver will not brick the damn system.

Ofc it won't, still there are guys who are desperately waiting for bricks...
Obviously they didn't even try to boot Linux on their switch, if so they would've known that it's just about reading/writing some values on a microSD card, which has nothing to do with the system itself...

Thanks OP. Where can I find the source for said 4.1 kernel, please?

Lol nvm... had a moment :-p

You won't brick messing with Linux messing with drivers. Should be perfectly safe to experiment.

 

[xXDungeon_CrawlerXx]

anyone tried?

 

[Notex]

Just tried, no luck.

i dont know found a user reporting lcd issues after using linux and many report battery issues im staying away for now

this is false please dont listen to this guy

f0f has said they fried a switch's screen messing with linux

Drivers won't really do anything without device tree modifications to tell the drivers which registers/devices to use and link together. Otherwise it won't know, say, which GPIO the headphone detect is.

Yeah they talked about the routing

Yup. This. Let's leave it for a few days and I'm sure the #f0f folk will make some progress

Edit: Also even if the audio driver doesn't work, this is still overall good news because it's a newer kernel than the f0f switch-linux repo, which is still nice to have.

 

[Duhasst0]

So, I have any if you tried to compile and boot a fresh kernel all from the switch itself?

I know that some make it habit and feel is regular practice to always compile a fresh
kernel from source after a fresh OS install.

I am curious, and gives me motivation to try and see if we cane get this updated kernel
working this way. I would love to see the audio driver working.

Here's a crazy idea: TEST THE DAMN THING BEFORE MAKING A USELESS THREAD!!!
I'm certainly not. I'm not risking damaging my console. Good fucking luck, indeed.

For all I know it might put out too much power and blow my speakers, it's software-controlled voltage, after all.

That had nothing to do with setting up new drivers. The person posting is already dealing with the system proper... sounds drivers are NOT going to brick his Switch.
