VERSION="r3p2-01rel1" (Detected)
EGL_TYPE="x11" (Detected)
echo "MALI_VERSION ?= r3p2-01rel1" > config.mk

checking ump/ump.h usability... yes
checking ump/ump.h presence... yes
checking for ump/ump.h... yes
checking for ump_open in -lUMP... yes
checking for ump_cache_operations_control in -lUMP... yes
If checking ump fails, run the following commands and try again:
sudo apt-get install libtool-bin
sudo libtool --finish /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf
Make:
make
Then install:
sudo make install
Setup xorg.conf: Backup existing file if you have machybris installed:
sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.libhybris
sudo cp xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.mali
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
sudo ln -s /etc/X11/xorg.conf.mali /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Edit Mali xorg.conf:
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.mali
Add the line Option "AccelMethod" "CPU" to the "Device" section. Otherwise you may experience screen refresh issues when moving windows.
Move the mesa-egl aside:
sudo mv /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/mesa-egl/ /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/.mesa-egl/
Move the lima drivers out of the search path:
sudo mkdir /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/bak
sudo mv /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGLES* /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/bak
sudo mv /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libEGL* /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/bak
Install dependencies:
sudo apt-get install build-essential lzop libncurses5-dev libssl-dev libc6:i386 lib32z1 lib32stdc++6
Install the toolchain:
mkdir toolchain
cd toolchain
wget https://releases.linaro.org/archive/13.04/components/toolchain/binaries/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.7-2013.04-20130415_linux.tar.bz2

source ~/.bashrc
Clone kernel sources:
git clone https://github.com/BalintBanyasz/kernel_rockchip.git --branch rockchip-3.0-rbox-kk --single-branch rockchip-3.0-rbox-kk
Build the kernel:
cd rockchip-3.0-rbox-kk
make mrproper
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- rk3188_imito_qx1_linux_defconfig
make -j$(nproc) ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-
Sign the kernel image:
rkcrc -k arch/arm/boot/zImage kernel.img
Build the kernel modules:
mkdir modules
make -j$(nproc) ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- INSTALL_MOD_PATH=modules modules modules_install
Remove symlinks that point to files we do not need in root fs:
cd modules
find . -name source | xargs rm
find . -name build | xargs rm
git clone https://github.com/BalintBanyasz/initrd
make -C initrd
The generated initrd.img image file will be located in the current folder.
Gzip the initrd.img file to get a compressed boot image:
gzip -c initrd.img > boot-unsigned.img
Finally, sign the image:
rkcrc -k boot-unsigned.img boot.img
Install the needed packages:
sudo apt-get install build-essential lzop libncurses5-dev libssl-dev libc6:i386 lib32z1 lib32stdc++6 debootstrap qemu-user-static
Clone this repo:
git clone https://github.com/BalintBanyasz/iMitoQX1
Define some variables:
rfs=rootfs.img
targetdir=/mnt
distro=jessie
modules=~/rockchip-3.0-rbox-kk/modules/lib/modules
Create the rootfs image:
dd if=/dev/zero of=$rfs bs=1M count=3600
mkfs.ext4 -F -L linuxroot $rfs
sudo mount -o loop $rfs $targetdir
Build first stage:
sudo debootstrap --arch=armhf --foreign $distro $targetdir
Copy kernel modules:
sudo mkdir -p $targetdir/lib/modules
sudo cp -r $modules/. $targetdir/lib/modules/
sudo cp -r iMitoQX1/modules/. $targetdir/lib/modules/3.0.36+/
Copy needed files from host to the target:
sudo cp /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static $targetdir/usr/bin/
sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf $targetdir/etc
Mount filesystems:
sudo mount -t proc proc $targetdir/proc
sudo mount -t sysfs sysfs $targetdir/sys
sudo mount -o bind /dev $targetdir/dev
sudo mount -t devpts devpts $targetdir/dev/pts
We should now have a minimal Debian Rootfs.
Login into the new filesystem:
sudo chroot $targetdir
Inside the chroot we need to set up the environment again:
distro=jessie
export LANG=C
Now we would run the setup for the second stage of debootstrap needs to run install the packages downloaded earlier
/debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage
Once the package installation has finished, setup some support files and apt configuration.
cat <<EOT > /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian $distro main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian $distro main contrib non-free

EOT
Update Debian package database:
apt-get update
Set up locales dpkg scripts since it tends to complain otherwise; note in Debian Jessie you will also need to install the dialog package as well:
apt-get install locales dialog
dpkg-reconfigure locales
en_US.UTF-8 [*]
Fix permission for sudo:
chmod u+s /usr/bin/sudo
Install some useful packages inside the chroot:
apt-get install sudo openssh-server ntpdate less nano wireless-tools wpasupplicant
Set a root password so you can login:
passwd
Set the hostname
echo iMito-QX1 > /etc/hostname
nano /etc/hosts
Add a new line with the address 127.0.1.1 and your hostname:
127.0.1.1 iMito-QX1
Deploy kernel modules:
depmod -a 3.0.36+
Load wifi at boot:
echo wlan >> /etc/modules
####Installing X You cannot run X as root (actually it's possible, but it's a bad practice), so you have to add new user to run X.
adduser debian
adduser debian sudo
Install Xorg, LightDM and LXDE:
apt-get install xorg lightdm lxde
Modify lightdm configuration to enable autologin:
nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf autologin-user=debian autologin-user-timeout=0
The RTL8189ES WiFi adapter seems to work better with NetworkManager, so let's replace Wicd with it:
apt-get purge --auto-remove wicd wicd-daemon
apt-get install network-manager-gnome
####Installing machybris and mackodi Download and install machybris:
wget http://mac-l1.com/v0.1.2/machybris-rk3188_4.4.2-0.1.2_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i --force-all,confnew machybris-rk3188_4.4.2-0.1.2_armhf.deb
sudo apt-get install -f
Download and install mackodi:
wget http://mac-l1.com/v0.1.1/mackodi_isengard-jessie-0.1.1_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i --force-all,confnew mackodi_isengard-jessie-0.1.1_armhf.deb
sudo apt-get install -f
Apply sound fix:
wget http://mac-l1.com/v0.1.1/fix_sound.sh
sudo chmod +x fix_sound.sh
sudo ./fix_sound.sh
We are done inside the chroot, so quit the chroot shell
exit
Tidy up the support files
sudo rm $targetdir/etc/resolv.conf
sudo rm $targetdir/usr/bin/qemu-arm-static
Unmount filesystems (reboot if can’t):
sudo umount $targetdir/{proc,sys,dev/pts,dev,}
