Hello again! I run the image LimeJeOS-openSUSE-Factory-ARM-panda.armv7l-1.12.1-Build10.1.raw from <http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Factory:/ARM/images/> on the new Pandaboard ES. After zypper ref && zypper up the following error occures on boot: ************************************ USB EHCI 1.00 scanning bus for devices...

[opensuse-arm] Multimedia support for ARM (kernel configs)
by Guillaume Gardet 15 Apr '12

15 Apr '12

Hi, Is there any reason to not have enabled multimedia support on ARM (except on default config)? I think it would be nice to enable it (especially V4L support) for ARM boards. I know OMAP have capture and display drivers for V4L. I suppose others (IMX51, Tegra, ...) have similar things.

Thinking again on the way to work about it, I think the following is the right approach: 1) Take your patch as is (done) ;) 2) Keep schedulers running on armv7l only, because we have just one pool of systems to build for. The same machines can handle armv7 softfp and hardfp (is this right?, I am no expert in arm hardware) For our openSUSE arm distro: 3) Define default _cpu_target as armv7hl, so we get also .armv7hl.rpm packages 4) Trim our rpm on arm to handle armv7l and armv7hl as equivalent. 5) extend library depend&provides handling with a "(hf)" extension to be able to distinguish between hardfp and softfp packages on the same installation. Note: The last point 5) would make our rpms incompatible with the ones from Fedora. But it is IMHO the only way to handle mixed installations and the fedora way is IMHO technical just wrong. I would be happy to hear some more opinions on this. -- 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] efika networking
by Peter Czanik 15 Apr '12

15 Apr '12

Hello, After yesterdays updates, networking does not work any more on the EFIKA. I still use the old Genesi kernel, as it arrived in the EFIKA image (2.6.31.14.26-efikamx) from http://lizards.opensuse.org/2012/01/21/opensuse-arm-image/ The non working wifi is definitely related to udev, there were related e-mails on the factory list also for x86, that firmware for Intel wifi can't be loaded either. But Ethernet on the smart top also does not work: it receives an initial IP address from the DHCP server, but after that there is no networking, even the DHCP server can't be reached again. Networking from Ubuntu works fine fine on the same machines. Any idea how to fix this?

[opensuse-arm] Unable to login on Beagleboard xM with latest image
by Guillaume Gardet 15 Apr '12

15 Apr '12

I tried a zypper dup today but it broke my board (unable to boot since kernel file name in /boot did not match anymore and no initrd was present.) So, I wanted to boot the latest raw image but trying to log in with root/linux but I get this error: *************************************************************** linux login: root Password: Permissions on the password database may be too restrictive *************************************************************** I looked at the /etc/shadow file which seems strange to me: *************************************************************** Event # Greg Bailey <gbailey&lxpro.com> February 2002 biolink-auth 3411/tcp # BioLink Authenteon server biolink-auth 3411/udp # BioLink Authenteon server # BioLink Support <reginfo&biolinkusa.com> February 2002 xmlblaster 3412/tcp # xmlBlaster xmlblaste *************************************************************** Replaced by my /etc/shadow from my running PC and I am able to login (with the password from my PC of course). Could you please 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] Runtime linker path for ARM v7 hard-float
by Steve McIntyre 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

Hey guys, There's been a *lot* of discussion about this in the last few days on the cross-distro list (and elsewhere), but I've not noticed anybody from opensuse joining in. It's very important for sane cross-distro compatibility that we agree on the location of the runtime linker. We're trying to organise a conf call to get this sorted *now* before anybody releases a stable arm-hf distro. Who from the opensuse team would like to join in? If you can join us on irc, freenode #linaro-armhf to help schedule a call ASAP that would be lovely.

[opensuse-arm] iMX51 - Update config for 3.4-rc2 + enable Multimedia support
by Guillaume Gardet 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

Please find in attachment a patch for the iMX51 config. I took the config from kernel-source/config/armv7l/imx51 and I added Multimedia support via menuconfig. It compiles (uImage + modules) but I haven't tested it since I have no iMX51 board. Regards, Guillaume

[opensuse-arm] DSP on OMAP3
by Guillaume Gardet 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

Hi, I can get the DSP working on OMAP3 (BB xM) with the latest beagle raw image (10.7). Install needed packages and load needed drivers: zypper in dsp-tools tidsp-binaries modprobe mailbox_mach modprobe bridgedriver base_img=/lib/dsp/baseimage.dof Then you can try some dsp tools: dsp-probe which returns: *** device: /codec device: /mixer device: /acdn device: /eteedn device: /mmmdn task: DASFTASK_TI task: SYNCCLOCK_TI task: dummy *** dsp-test which returns: *** copied 1000 times successfully *** I have not tested gstreamer DSP plugin yet but I will keep you up-to-date once done! I have 1 question related to module loading. Why mailbox_mach and bridgedriver are not loaded on boot? Do we need some udev rules?

Acording to: osc rbl X11:Enlightenment:Nightly lua51 openSUSE_Factory_ARM armv7l RPM lit reports: ******************************************************************************** lua51-libs.armv7l: W: shlib-with-non-pic-code /usr/lib/liblua-5.1.so The listed shared libraries contain object code that was compiled without -fPIC.
