[opensuse-arm] Build options for ARM?
by Guillaume Gardet 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

Hi, where could we find which options are passed to GCC? I mean -mcpu -mtune, -mfloat, etc. Currently, I think we are using the following for ARM v7, but I cannot find where it is defined: * thumb2 * VFPV3-d16 * tune: cortex-A9 Guillaume -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] Quick XFCE beagle image test (for 12.2)
by Guillaume Gardet 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

Hi, I just quickly tested the latest XFCE beagle image (12.2). Here, are my results: * YaST Firstboot is launched in gfx mode (very nice) * All seems working even if it is a bit slow (no bug) But: * resolution is fixed in 1024x768 * Icons from XFCE desktop are there at first boot but after a reboot, we lost them (same for background) * Plymouth does not show anything * omapdrm is included in kernel image, not as a module. It would be better to have it as a module and add it to initrd to keep gfx during boot. (If it is working like that). * sound still does not work, because the patch come after 3.4.6 push from git to OBS. Moreover, I get an error during the first boot about resizing: ************************************************************************ Current system partition is bigger than requested size. Disk won't be repartitionned. ************************************************************************ So, we should adjust the partition size in kiwi description for XFCE images.

[opensuse-arm] openSUSE 12.2 RC2 Release preparation
by Dirk Müller 26 Nov '12

26 Nov '12

Hi ARM :-), Hi Jos, Alex and I have worked yesterday a few hours to finish up the last remaining bugs for a 12.2 RC2 release. we plan that this is the last RC before final 12.2 for ARM, which is scheduled for November 6th. The changes over RC1 are: * various bugfixes in the imaging * add an update repository to the images for maintenance * adding various fixes for booting machines without RTC with a reasonable system time * Adding a YaST firstboot stage for configuring the country, language, root password and creating the first user login * various smaller fixes in packaging We have also enabled support for the following SoCs' * Calxeda Highbank * CuBox * IMX 53 * Samsung Origen In addition, we added XFCE images for panda and beagle board. We know that those still have some bugs that need to be fixed for the final release. the JeOS images are good though. We've personally tested some of the variations, but not all of them. We'd like to get more feedback about it. In addition to that, we've also worked on graphics support for a few of the boards, with varying results. The Raspberry Pi image is not part of this release, it will come at a later point in time as a separate announcement. The images are available for download from: http://download.opensuse.org/ports/armv7hl/distribution/12.2-RC2/ This link is not yet up, I'm still waiting for the build service team to sign and upload the images there. This link: http://download.opensuse.org/ports/armv7hl/distribution/openSUSE-stable/ will point to RC2 once it is available so we could use that one as well. I hope that we can do the announcement on sunday evening latest, but it might slip to monday I'm afraid :( Please work on the promo bits, and fire at will once the link above (with - RC2) is working. The rest of the announcement can be reused from the RC1 announcement that Andrew did. Thanks!

[opensuse-arm] Issues starting display manager

[opensuse-arm] Fwd: [fedora-arm] ARMv8 Bootstrap Project
by Andrew Wafaa 22 Nov '12

22 Nov '12

Aloha all, Does anyone know if something similar has started within openSUSE? None of the work being undertaken by Fedora at this point is covered by any restrictions, so there should be nothing stopping openSUSE from doing something similar. I'm happy to make a start, so long as someone can confirm what process/steps is desired for the bootstarp process on openSUSE. Many thanks, Andy ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Al Stone <ahs3(a)redhat.com> Date: 21 November 2012 21:30 Subject: [fedora-arm] ARMv8 Bootstrap Project To: arm(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Howdy. It's time to announce a little project I've been working on for the last few weeks: the ARMv8 bootstrap project for Fedora. There has been a lot of interest in ARMv8 (also known as aarch64) in the last few months since it was introduced by ARM. A 64-bit processor that uses as little power as possible could provide an enormous cost savings to the vast and growing data centers throughout the world. So, even though hardware is not yet available, we have started the work needed to bring Fedora to ARMv8. Using the ARM provided Foundation model (a platform simulator for ARMv8), we have been building up the packages needed to eventually get to a full native build of Fedora. Details and current status are here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/AArch64 Of the six stages needed in the bootstrap of a new architecture, we are in the middle of stage 2; these are therefore pretty early bits. In the interest of full transparency in what we do, and in the spirit of release early and release often, grab a copy and have fun! On the Fedora wiki, you will find instructions on where to find all the bits and pieces used to construct the root file system image that's been created so far, and how to use the ARM Foundation model to do further work. And there is plenty to do :). If you'd like to help, read through the wiki pages above and get yourself to the point where you can run the ARM Foundation model using the Fedora root file system. Then find a package needing some love and do what needs to be done for ARMv8 (the wiki explains how). And if you have questions, you can find me (ahs3) on #fedora-arm on IRC (Freenode), or ask on this mailing list; the more, the merrier. -- ciao, al ----------------------------------- Al Stone Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. ahs3(a)redhat.com ----------------------------------- _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm -- Andrew Wafaa IRC: FunkyPenguin GPG: 0x3A36312F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hallo, all friends. Thank you all for your efforts to contribute to the OpenSuSe-Arm Project. But I am lost: I have tested the first version for the Raspberry Pi board. But which is the actual version as an img.file? I downloaded a few weeks ago a version but it was not an img.file.
