Compiling Kernel 5.1 for Odroid U3

https://github.com/umiddelb/armhf/wiki/How-To-compile-a-custom-Linux-kernel-for-your-ARM-device#examples

Apply patch for smsc mac address:

https://netdev.vger.kernel.narkive.com/Fi2roLel/patch-smsc95xx-add-module-parameter-to-override-mac-address

Or use https://github.com/racerxdl/linux-odroid-public

sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf
export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-

make exynos_defconfig
make menuconfig ( i need to enable some modules to make the the usb keyboard work)
make -j5 zImage modules dtbs
make modules_install ARCH=arm INSTALL_MOD_PATH=../modules

cat arch/arm/boot/zImage arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos4412-odroidu3.dtb > zImage_dtb

On device

$ sudo update-initramfs -c -k ${kver}
$ sudo mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -a 0x0 -e 0x0 -n initrd.img-${kver} -d initrd.img-${kver} uInitrd-${kver}
$ sudo cp uInitrd-${kver} /media/boot/uInitrd

Edit /media/boot/boot.txt: add to kernel line

smsc95xx.macaddr=96:e3:f1:9a:b0:8a

Generate boot.scr:

mkimage -A arm -T script -C none -n "Boot.scr for ODROID" -d /media/boot/boot.txt /media/boot/boot.scr
