I was looking for a way to install Linux with Mali GPU support on my Samsung Nexus10, so I find the guide at : http://malideveloper.arm.com/develop-for-mali/features/graphics-and-compute-development-on-samsung-chromebook/
( same cpu exynos 5, gpu mail T604 ... ) and Nexus10 is one of Development Platform Google Nexus 10 « Mali Developer Center Mali Developer Center.
However, I've followed the above guide, and the guide for make boot.img when flash boot img ( cmdline = console=tty0 datapart=/dev/mmcblk0p9 ), It's only black screen ( no console output ) nothing to do ... and auto reset. ( I enabled console VT in kernel, but enable support for gpu graphic console it auto reboot ).
I attached last_dmsg, pull from android env.
Please, give a path to get it.
The Nexus10 and the Chromebook are very different platforms, even if the main SoC is the same, so following the Chromebook instructions is unlikely to work. I'm not aware of any instructions for running Linux on the Nexus10.
HTH,

Hello acctesttemp,
Unfortunately, Linux on the Nexus 10 is not currently on our roadmap.
I will raise this in the next roadmap meeting, but cannot give you any promises that this will be something we will support.
However, if it is accepted, I will update this thread.
I hope that helps,
Kind Regards,
Michael McGeagh
I actually happen to have Arch Linux running natively on the Nexus 10. I don't have either the armsoc or the 3D Mali GPU driver working, but Xorg fbdev works with small modifications to the startup code.
Don't use the Chromebook kernel. I have a modified kernel that works, source is at willcast/kernel_manta · GitHub
Checkout the "desktop" branch. Use "manta_desktop_defconfig".
I can send you the root filesystem and initramfs at some point, I haven't been planning to release it yet so I'll have to remove my home directory, etc. This is in a fairly usable state, however, it will drain the battery faster than it can charge (at least with the USB charger.)
willcast, What changes of your fbdev? Can you share me initramd and system, too. I like to test it on my nexus10.
Many thanks.
Is console ( tty0 or else ) working? I try your kernel mod and still no see any output ?
