[opensuse-arm] U-boot from factory is KO

by Guillaume Gardet

Hi, I wanted to test latest u-boot for beagleboard (we currently use an old linaro u-boot for beagleboard). And I found some problems about ext2 to ext4 transition (due to u-boot update I guess). First error is in mlo-ext2.patch in spl/Makefile: +LIBS-$(CONFIG_SPL_FAT_SUPPORT) += fs/ext2/libext2fs.o should be replaced with: +LIBS-$(CONFIG_SPL_FAT_SUPPORT) += fs/ext4/libext4fs.o otherwise, we have a build error since ext2 does not exist! Once fixed, boot from MMC hangs early because "ext4fs_set_blk_dev" function is misused. We are using: err = ext4fs_set_blk_dev(&mmc->block_dev, CONFIG_SYS_MMC_SD_FAT_BOOT_PARTITION); But arg number 2 must be "disk_partition_t *info" and not "int" as it was the case for ext2fs_set_blk_dev! Alex, could you have a look at it? According to the *.changes files, you are the best to fix it! ;) 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] raspberrypi image

by Bernhard M. Wiedemann

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I made a new version of my raspberrypi image with the latest packages from openSUSE's armv5 builds and latest firmware to support boards with 512MB RAM. http://zq1.de/~bernhard/linux/opensuse/raspberrypi-opensuse-20121230.img.gz New: ntp started on boot to not be in 1970 all the time. It still uses sysvinit with older aaa_base as there were problems with systemd complaining about missing cgroups.

[opensuse-arm] talk proposal: openSUSE on ARM

by Alexander Graf

> - Your name Alexander Graf > - A (short) bio Alexander started working for SUSE about 6 years ago. Since then he worked on fancy things like mkinitrd, SUSE Studio, QEMU, KVM and openSUSE on ARM. Whenever something really useful comes to his mind, he tends to implement it. Among others he did Mac OS X virtualization using KVM, nested SVM, KVM on PowerPC and a lot of work in QEMU for openSUSE on ARM. He is the upstream maintainer of KVM for PowerPC, QEMU for PowerPC and QEMU for S390x. As a side project, he is also involved in openSUSE on ARM. > - (optionally) a picture http://m3.licdn.com/media/p/4/000/177/2fb/00de91a.jpg > - A title for the talk openSUSE on ARM > - A description of the talk (just a paragraph or two will do) There have been a lot of things going on in the openSUSE on ARM world during the last year. We have released a openSUSE 12.2 as semi-official release. We have improved our workflows. We have also improved board support by quite a bit. This talk will show you what exactly changed, how easy it is to be part of this awesome project and what the next steps are. > - Your desired timeslot duration (30 or 60 minutes) I would like to have ~20-30 minutes of actual speaking time. If that means we need the 60 minute slot, so be it :). > - If you already have that information, your availability during the > FOSDEM weekend to help us schedule the sessions. Traditionally we used to arrive Friday evening and left Sunday afternoon. But the more prime the slot, the happier I am.

[opensuse-arm] openSUSE 12.2 and Snowball baord

by Alexjan Carraturo

Hi to all Actually, after some test, and some little "hack" the release 12.2 of openSUSE ARM 12.2 is working on my Snowball baord. Actually, even if I'm using the Xfce version of the rootfs, the device boot only and load the console (the kernel is passed via tftp and the filesystem via NFS). From command line works fine, even if I had some problem with "firstboot" due to minicom serial console. I have still some problem with kernel modules (Wifi first of all). Soon I will test the "hdmiservice". I try to build the "riff" utility, but I have to do this manually (I'm unable to build with .spec file. I hope to make a demo valid until January 12. If I can bring the Snowball with openSUSE at the Cerea Fair ( http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Cerea_Fair_2013 ). I remember that someone in this list as already started to work with Snowball ( Andrew Wafaa if I remember well) and would like to know his results with Snowball board, and if he can give me some adivce to use at the best that board. Happy new year to all bye Alexjan -- Alexjan Carraturo -- Twitter/Facebook/Identica/flickr: axjslack Personal site: http://axjslack.wordpress.com -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

These folks are making a board similar to the Arndale board, but cheaper $135/$145. It is supposed to ship Q1 2013. They are giving away one via a raffle. http://www.howchip.com/shop/item.php?it_id=BRIX5250A http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/12/26/135-armbrix-zero-exynos-5-developmen… Bill -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] Exclusive target for Raspberry PI

by Cristian Rodríguez

Hi: I was wondering.. it makes sense to create an exclusive target for the Raspberry PI (march=armv6zk -mcpu=arm1176jzf-s hard float, thumb) There are 1 millon devices out there..probably more than any other target we currently have .. is there any reason not to have it ? can anyone point me how exactly to integrate an armv6k compiler into the OBS ? Thanks and I am looking forward to your comments. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] HugeTLB and THP support on ARM

by Andrew Wafaa

I've been asked if anyone from SUSE/openSUSE has looked at the patches that introduce HugeTLB & THP support on ARM? The patches were posted[0] but there's little feedback. These patches are included in the the Arndale kernel that we use and should be of benefit to KVM etc. Any comment on the patches would be appreciated. Thanks, Andy 0-http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2012-October/126382… -- 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

by Dirk Müller

Hi, http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Factory:/ARM/images/ does anyone see a blocker issue with those images being released as Milestone 2? I've tested the panda image and it seems to work. Any volunteer for the other images? Ideally I'd like to push it out as Milestone 2 asap.

[opensuse-arm] Tell us what is supported on your ARM board

by Guillaume Gardet

Hi, I made a little table to have an overview of what is supported by openSUSE on ARM boards. It would be very nice if you could help to fill this table: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Supported_ARM_boards#12.2 Regards, 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] Most ARM kernels failed to build

by Guillaume Gardet

Hi, The following ARMv7 kernels failed to build. kernel-default kernel-exynos kernel-highbank kernel-imx51 kernel-omap2plus kernel-tegra The followings succeded with no problem: kernel-cubox kernel-u8500 Is there anybody available to fix some of those configs? I already sent a patch to -kernel ML to fix kernel-default.
