Hi,

would it be possible to add armv5 kiwi support for oem images, please?

With a quick look at the source code on : https://github.com/openSUSE/kiwi
I guess we must create a system/boot/armv5tel/* (or armv5el?) using armv7l/* as template? Not sure if it is enough.

I can do it if a kiwi guru (marcus?) give me some hints.
I am playing with that atm in openSUSE:Factory:ARM (some first experimental boot files are there).

However, we need to fix the qemu cpu emulation for armv5 first or kiwi
won't pick anything else then the armv7 one ...

What is the problem with qemu for armv5?
according to uname it is armv7l cpu ...
Yeah, we need a separate binfmt wrapper in qemu-accel-armv5 that sets QEMU_CPU to an armv5 cpu and then exec()s the real binfmt wrapper.

Is there anyone who could fix that, please? Because I am not sure what to do where! ;)
But, I can prepare a kiwi patch to add support for oem images. Which arch will report qemu once fixed? armv5el, arm5tel or something else?

Yeah, I'll hack something up.

Ok, done. Please verify it actually works and the new qemu-accel properly overwrites the binfmt wrapper with the new binary.

How to check? Using "uname -a"? If, so, I tried to do it from a package in my home project and I get:
uname -a
[  102s] Linux build02 3.4.6-2.10-xen #1 SMP Thu Jul 26 09:36:26 UTC 2012 (641c197) armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux


Yeah, uname -a should do the trick. It did work for me locally when using the compiled qemu-armv5-binfmt manually.

Could you please try to check if

  $ /qemu/qemu-armv5-binfmt /bin/uname uname -a

works?
