Title: Cm 11.0 4412

Voodik,

I've been building (and sometimes fixing issues). I largely only work on this on the weekend since this is not my fulltime job.

I would like to pull this branch, build for u3 and xu. I will test my hardware and, if needed, commit changes for your review.

I would like to see if I can help maintain milestone releases of CM 11 for these two odroid families. That I am using them computationally (yes, they are much slower than buy quad core tegra with 192 cuda cores for my purposes, but I have rather enjoyed my odroids.

I am an old unix guy (note old meaning I've been using unix since before most of the people on this forum were born). I used to write kernel drivers in the old monolithic kernel days -- when Linux for home users was a pipe dream that didn't exist.

I only have 1 xu and 2xu3's but I have 5 EMMC 64 MB modules and I actually dd images using an odroid and the eMMC adapter from hardkernel (it works on the odroid just fine, so who needs the transcend).

I honestly have never used the android usb bridge on these devices since there really isn't any need to -- dd works just fine.

I do have the serial uart so I will happily debug boot errors and messages.

I'm a hack at a lot of languages. Some I have used others I am exceptional at coding with. C is my favorite (note I am old), certainly any of the C variant sytax languages are trivial for me to get around in, e.g. java, etc), scripting in sh/bash is automatic, python and other scripting languages.t

I don't want to pretend I can do this full time -- I cannot. I have a day job and work long hours, 10-14 hours is routine.

I am an amateur EE -- reading specs and buliding circults to accomplish things is something I do (e.g., before I found dx.com, simple buck voltage regulator boards, projects integrating TI MSP microprocessors (SO MUCH FASTER and LOWER POWER consumption than the ATMEL chip the arduino is built around -- though I have done numerous projects for the atmel 328 chip, too), minor robotics (e.g., actuators, etc), applications machine learning to interesting problems and so forth.

Coding or building electronic gizmos is a welcome distraction for the weekend. A pie in the sky thought for me is to ultimately build OTA releases for odroid/CM 11 milestone releases.
