I am giving it a go at the moment when I have a bit of spare time.
I now have the debian jessie 3.16 kernel running on the cubox. It needed two small patches from the upstream kernel to fix a couple of tiny problems, and then I enabled about 8 missing config entries in the debian kernel. With that and adding the CuBox to the flash-kernel package, I can now install a kernel and have it configure u-boot automatically the debian way.
No graphics support yet, but I am testing a build with some patches pulled from Russell King's tree that might solve that. It even includes support for using the marvell binary video decoder libraries with the video decoder hardware in the CPU, so perhaps that would be useful for something.
Weren't you going to use yours for video playback as part of whole home theater setup? Or is this something different?
So pretty soon I should be able to have a nice clean Jessie install of Debian with only a slightly modified debian kernel package matching exactly what Jessie expects (I was running a 3.8 kernel before).
So far USB, uSD and SATA as well as the IR port are working with the Jessie kernel no problem.
Very cool. Jessie is really an incredible release.
