William, thanks for the test kernel etc. I’d love to try it once my Icicle arrives … it got through customs this morning, so hopefully I’ll have that by Tuesday or Wednesday.
Could I just suggest that instead of a paragraph of English prose that makes all kinds of aI’m sure in at least some cases invalid assumptions about shared context – starting with with a PPA is and what you do with it – it would be REALLY helpful to provide a few lines of shell script that can be copied and pasted to perform the task.
That would probably take you an extra 10 or 15 minutes, but might well save come other people an hour or more each.
I know it’s a hassle, but I always try to do it myself. For example Missing Bootloader on HiFive1 but Instructions for Repair Outdated / No Longer Exist - #4 by bruce
