Hello,
I did not have Internet access for more than a week, and lost a bit track, what is going on with the openSUSE ARM port. What I see is very good news: over 3000 packages build already ( https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=openSUSE%3AFactory%3AARM ). As I have an EFIKA MX and helped to get some EFIKAs for developers, my questions relate to it:
- what triplet is used to compile hardfloat binaries? In the archives I found: "Currently we're building with -march=armv7-a -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=vfp3-d16 -mthumb." Is it still the case? (I was asked by Debian ARM HF project lead last week...)
- how are the EFIKAs used?
- I have openSUSE running in a chroot on my smartbook, thanks to http://michal.hrusecky.net/2011/10/opensuse-arm-chroot-less-then-alpha/ Is there already an image which could be booted directly? Or instructions how to install it natively on the EFIKA?
I'll be an FSF Hungary conference this weekend, and would be nice to demo my smartbook with openSUSE running native :)
You can try the following. This worked for me on the Pandaboard. Build the rootfs. According to Michals instructions, I used mic2 but the effect is the same. Take the armhf image from: http://www.powerdeveloper.org/platforms/efikamx/linux Use from this image /boot and /lib/modules and the video drivers (hopefully it's the same xorg version. (You can also compile the kernel yourself, that's what I did for te pandaboard) Copy all these into you're boot directory, or the other way around copy your rootfs on the sd card. Disable /etc/init.d (boot.udev, boot.rootfsck, boot.md) move them to another directory, as these processes When the system has booted start udev. For me this caused a high load. Then start network or whatever you need. You need to edit the sysconfig files yourself for this. Vim hasn't been build yet. Joe has, if you have knowledge of this editor. Via startx you can check if xwindows will work fine. It's best to start sshd first so you ca still access the system you can access it anymore via the keyboard. I've disabled udev soon after startx as it eats a lot of the cpu power. I used windowmaker as windomanager as I think this is the only one that has been build now.
