[opensuse-arm] Testers wanted: openSUSE image for Cubieboard
Hi, I've recently finished an early image for the Cubie Board (http://cubieboard.org), which is an interesting relatively fast and small armv7 device in the price range of a Raspberry Pi. The image is intended for the 1 GB RAM variant. if you have a 512MB version, please let me know. I can trivially create an image, assuming that there are testers available. This image can be used as a base for a long list of Allwinner A10 based devices. If you own other A10 based devices and are interested in testing images, please ping me. See https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:CubieBoard for more information on how to download and install the image. Please let me know your feedback. I know of some missing ends that need addressing, but you can obviously find more.

I have one of these boards sitting in the desk since a few months but have not tried anything on it, I will check your image and report back later ;-) Anyway to flash it into the builtin nand flash ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
Hi Cristian, I have not enabled NAND support in the kernel, so that would not work at this point in time. Also, the u-boot fork that I'm using does not have support for NAND. According to http://linux-sunxi.org/Building_on_Debian#Installing_to_nand it is possible, but that would be a different image than the one I created. I think there are many more pain points to solve first before I'd go at flashing the NAND. MMC is a lot more versatile at the moment (given that you can remove the card and put it in a different computer in order to repair it manually).

OK, I just installed the image in an SD-card, everything goes fine until yast attempts to start, it either gets "signal 1" or hangs forever (no output via serial console, or when using a monitor/keyboard, the keyboard becomes unresponsive/system hangs) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
