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? Alex

[opensuse-arm] armv5 kernel-default
by Guillaume Gardet 18 Oct '12

18 Oct '12

Hi, I would like to add support to armv5 kernel-default. Patch is in attachment. Please comment. I am not sure if it is enough. I added a default config file in config/armv5el and added it to config.conf. If it is ok, I will send it -kernel ML.

[opensuse-arm] armv5 kiwi support for oem images
by Guillaume Gardet 18 Oct '12

18 Oct '12

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. Guillaume -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

So if you have a downstream raspberry pi kernel in Contrib:RaspberryPi, please also do the JeOS description in Contrib:RaspberryPi. However, the rest of the changes look fine. So how about we just remove the RbPI bits here (and readd them later when we get an upstream kernel), but simply link this JeOS description in the Contrib:RaspberryPi repository with a small patch to enable the rbpi bits? > + #endif > + </repository> > +  > + <strip type="tools"> > + <file name="qemu-arm-binfmt"/> > + <file name="qemu-arm"/> > + </strip> > + <packages type="bootstrap"> > +#if IS_FLAVOR_JeOS == 0 > +// FIXME: Currently, we have no kernel-default for armv5 I don't think we will ever have one.

[opensuse-arm] Hello Rhasberry PI and other armv5/6 users

Our first JeOS armv5 image is built and is downloadable here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Factory:/ARM/images_arm… please do not be confused by the armv7l in the file name. We will fix that glitch in future. But please test it on some real armv5/6 hardware like the Rhasberry PI.

[opensuse-arm] openSUSE 12.2 Beta/Warmup for Release Candidates

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!
