Hi,

I made a new version of my raspberrypi image with the latest packages from openSUSE's armv5 builds and latest firmware to support boards with 512MB RAM. http://zq1.de/~bernhard/linux/opensuse/raspberrypi-opensuse-20121230.img.gz

New: ntp started on boot to not be in 1970 all the time.

...

It still uses sysvinit with older aaa_base as there were problems with systemd complaining about missing cgroups.

Could you elaborate a bit more if you know what else needs to be done to fix the "official" images ?

I have a PI here for testing currently running ARCHlinux with 3.6.11 kernel and systemd 196 with no apparent problem.

I enabled CGROUPS in our kernel and ran zypper dup to get latest systemd and udev in. look OK so far http://zq1.de/~bernhard/linux/opensuse/raspberrypi-opensuse-20130101.img.gz however I got reports that it still does not suppoort 512MB boards - likely needs a kernel update, but raspberry patches are not trivially easy to forward-port to our 3.7.1 kernel.

sigh.. :-| I just entered this world of small devices and arm boards and my initial impression is wow, this has future, but its ecosystem is in a deeply awful sorry state.

everybody has its own incompatible bootloader, kernel, tools etc..just a huge mess. :-(

This unfortunately is indeed the current state of affairs, and is something that is recognised and acknowledged by ARM them selves. This is one reason why with the new ARMv8 architecture ARM is working with as wide a group of partners as possible, covering the whole stack from the hardware up to the application itself. Multiple OS vendors are involved, and things are in motion to standardise on common components (UEFI/GRUB2/etc).

I wonder if any organization is working in getting stuff together..

Well, Linaro is striving to make sure that those interested in ARM (certainly from a Linux PoV) try and work together and stop duplicating work. Their aim is to have everything upstreamed and all their kernels are as upstream as SUSE and Red Hat's, which is a *HUGE* improvement. I'm not saying it's perfect but it goes a hell of a long way and is our best chance of standardisation.

Hi Bernhard,

Good to have opensuse on raspberry.

I have one question here:

Is there a build service target (selectable repository) to build packages for this image ?

I only find armv7 build targets at the moment.

The standard openSUSE:Factory:ARM/armv5el repo is the repo which is used as base for these images.
