Hi, over the weekend we've built 12.2 images and smoke-tested them on one board (Panda). The images are here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/12.2:/ARM/images/ We plan to announce them later as Release Candiate 1. If you own a Pandaboard, BeagleBoard or an EfikaMX, please give them a try. the Vexpress ones are iirc also completely untested so far. Any feedback (positive or negative) is highly welcome. Thanks!

Hi Dirk, just tried the image "LimeJeOS-openSUSE-12.2-ARM-panda.armv7l-1.12.2-Build9.4.raw.xz" on a Pandaboard ES. I have only checked if WLAN works. It does not. ifconfig does not list a wlan interface. I guess the error message "wl12xx: ERROR could not get nvs file ti-connectivity/wl1271-nvs.bin: -2" in the boot log could be a reason... Apart from that I found this error message in the log: "leds-gpio: probe of leds-gpio failed with error -16".

This looks like missing firmware. Where do we get this from?

Does the LED blink for you? Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

Regarding the LEDs: Maybe the GPIO numbers of the Pandaboard ES are different to the Pandaboard (without ES). For the ES the LEDs are GPIO_110 and GPIO_WK8. When I export gpio 110 in /sys/class/gpio/export I see that the direction is "in" instead of "out". After correcting this I can toggle the LED.

Could you please try and see if copying them to the firmware dir makes things work for you?

Hrm. That sounds like an upstream bug then. Usually the LEDs should blink for status indication. But it's unimportant enough to not be a major issue now I hope :). Wifi not working is definitely worse. Alex

Hi, great, thanks for the feedback. does it work if you manually copy the firmware file over? we can package it then and add it to the default configuration of the image so that future versions will have it working.

Ok, i have done following: - git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git - cp linux-firmware/ti-connectivity/wl127* /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/ti-connectivity/ - reboot - "ifconfig -a" shows a wlan0 device now Then i wanted to install yast2 with "zypper in patterns-openSUSE-yast2_basis" but this leads to "Problem: patterns-openSUSE-yast2_basis-12.2-10.2.armv7hl benötigt yast2-ncurses-pkg, was aber nicht angeboten werden kann Nicht installierbare Anbieter: libyui-ncurses-pkg4-2.42.0-1.1.armv7hl[suse-factory]" Then I tried a little bit with wpa_supplicant and could establish a connection to my WPA2 secured AP! However it was a IP6 connection and maybe the reason, that I can't connect from my notebook to the pandaboard via WLAN. Nevertheless it seems to work basically. If you can tell me how to install yast, then I could try it again.

Thanks, so this confirms that we were just missing kernel-firmware in the images. I've added that now, please test (the image hasn't rebuilt yet).

Hi, the new 12.2 images contain kernel-firmware now in the image. can you confirm that it resolves the wifi issues you were seeing ? http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/12.2:/ARM/images/ Thanks, Dirk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

Hi!

Hi,

over the weekend we've built 12.2 images and smoke-tested them on one board (Panda). The images are here:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/12.2:/ARM/images/

We plan to announce them later as Release Candiate 1. If you own a Pandaboard, BeagleBoard or an EfikaMX, please give them a try. the Vexpress ones are iirc also completely untested so far. Any feedback (positive or negative) is highly welcome. A bit late answer as I was on holidays, far and away from my machines: I just tested it on the EFIKA MX smarttop. I have a serial console.

Yeah, if you pass in the correct console=, it should show something. Could you please try to trim it down a bit? Check the cmdline, try booting w/o initrd, etc. Alex

Checked many different combinations, but I got "Starting kernel ..." all the time. Should I go back to the ancient 2.6.31 based Genesi kernel? AFAIR somebody made a package out of it, but I can't find it...

Hi,

over the weekend we've built 12.2 images and smoke-tested them on one board (Panda). The images are here:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/12.2:/ARM/images/

We plan to announce them later as Release Candiate 1. If you own a Pandaboard, BeagleBoard or an EfikaMX, please give them a try. the Vexpress ones are iirc also completely untested so far. Any feedback (positive or negative) is highly welcome. A bit late answer as I was on holidays, far and away from my machines: I just tested it on the EFIKA MX smarttop. I have a serial console. Booting stops here:

[...] ## Loading init Ramdisk from Legacy Image at 92000000 ... Image Name: Initrd Image Type: ARM Linux RAMDisk Image (uncompressed) Data Size: 27762078 Bytes = 26.5 MB Load Address: 00000000 Entry Point: 00000000 Verifying Checksum ... OK Loading Kernel Image ... OK OK

Starting kernel ...

As there is now video driver yet for 3.x I did not expect anything on the attached screen, but the serial should work, AFAIK. Yeah, if you pass in the correct console=, it should show something. Could you please try to trim it down a bit? Check the cmdline, try booting w/o initrd, etc.

Checked many different combinations, but I got "Starting kernel ..." all the time. Should I go back to the ancient 2.6.31 based Genesi kernel?

Phew. Upstream should work really, but I can't debug it myself atm :(.

...

AFAIR somebody made a package out of it, but I can't find it...

It should be in openSUSE:Factory:ARM:EfikaMX. Alex
