[opensuse-arm] U-boot from factory is KO
by Guillaume Gardet 08 Mar '13

08 Mar '13

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

-----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 07 Jan '13

07 Jan '13

> - 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 02 Jan '13

02 Jan '13

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.

[opensuse-arm] Exclusive target for Raspberry PI
by Cristian Rodríguez 02 Jan '13

02 Jan '13

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 17 Dec '12

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.

Hi, http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Factory:/ARM/images/ does anyone see a blocker issue with those images being released as Milestone 2?

[opensuse-arm] Submit a package from devel:Factory:ARM to dev project (and then to Factory)
by Guillaume Gardet 11 Dec '12

11 Dec '12

Hi, I just fixed libvpx on ARM (see [0]) and I want to clarify the workflow then. I will submit it to devel project (multimedia:libs) and then ask to forward it to Factory. Once accepeted in devel project (or Factory?), we could remove the package from devel:Factory:ARM to only have it in Factory. Is it the right way?

[opensuse-arm] libgcc_s1 verify error
by Adrian Schröter 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

JFYI, in case you wonder why local builds currently through an error that libgcc_s1 is not valid signed: I had to handcraft the armv5el package and to copy the armv7el from devel:gcc due to the rename. The gcc47 build did fail otherwise always at the end because the libgcc_s1 lib got deinstalled. We should be fine again in 8-9 hours when the gcc47 got rebuild. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian(a)suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] ARM multiplatform (default?) kernel
by Guillaume Gardet 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

Hi, First steps to a multiplatform kernel for ARM have been merged recently. See: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h… So, we may update the default kernel config to a multiplatform config since it is the purpose of our default config. What do you think about it? Currently, we could enable the following armv7 mach in this config: * Marvell SOCs with Device Tree support (armada 370 and armada xp) * Calxeda ECX-1000 (Highbank) * Altera SOCFPGA family * ARM Ltd. Versatile Express family There is also an ARMv6 mach: * Picochip PicoXcell 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] openSUSE:Factory:ARM cleanup
by Adrian Schröter 05 Dec '12

05 Dec '12

Hi, walking through the additional packages of our official openSUSE:Factory:ARM project: Some of them got just have removed, because they got merged into factory meanwhile. Some more arm changes are at least merged into devel projects and needs to be submitted to factory: * qemu (Andreas, can you submit?) * python3 (asked the maintainer already, it is a generic failure) Quite some more packages were in unclear or only half-fixed state, but I considered it as not harmful when moving them to the new project: devel:Factory:ARM We agreed that this project should be used for working on arm specific fixes and stuff should be submitted to devel projects. openSUSE:Factory:ARM should stay as clean as possible, only exception are temporary package fixes which are needed to unbreak the general build of signification number of other packages (to be specified ;) Currently we basically still following packages in there: * Current kernel stack. Can we move it to the devel:Factory:ARM as well? We may need to add the repo to some appliances. * gcc stack due to the thumb/gcj problem => my job * some additional packages not yet in factory. - u-boot*: can we submit them now? - qemu-accel stuff => should be possible to submit it as well IMHO - x-loader-omap3beagle - xf86-video-sisusb both should be either go to official devel projects and factory or to a :Contrib: project. Dirk/Alex can you do that? - JeOS image descriptions.

[opensuse-arm] Trigger rebuild of all perl-* packages for armv5 Factory
by Guillaume Gardet 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hi, Someone could trigger a rebuild of all perl-* packages in succeded state for armv5 Factory, since they have been built with perl 5.16.1 and now, 5.16.2 is in use. So, others perl-* packages are unresolvable since perl 5.16.1 is no more available. And lots of packages are also blocked (kiwi for example). Moreover, perl 5.16.2 fails to build for armv7 factory, but I don not know how to fix it. Any idea?
