[opensuse-arm] armStoneA8: Failed to mount /dev
by Andreas Färber 02 Dec '12

02 Dec '12

Hello, On the armStoneA8 board, using NBoot V14 and U-Boot, I'm trying to boot the downstream 3.3.7 kernel (BSP V1.1) from SD with a LimeJeOS rootfs on SD. I had to reconfigure the kernel with CONFIG_LBDAF to mount the ext3[*] rootfs r/w. This is what I get now: [...] mmc0: new high speed SDHC card at address b368 IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver mmcblk0: mmc0:b368 NCard 7.48 GiB NET: Registered protocol family 17 can: controller area network core (rev 20090105 abi 8) mmcblk0: p1 NET: Registered protocol family 29 can: raw protocol (rev 20090105) can: broadcast manager protocol (rev 20090105 t) Registering the dns_resolver key type VFP support v0.3: implementor 41 architecture 3 part 30 variant c rev 2 s3c-rtc s3c64xx-rtc: setting system clock to 2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC (946684800) kjournald starting.

[opensuse-arm] openSUSE on RaspberryPi
by Gábor Nyers 12 Aug '12

12 Aug '12

Hi, A quick search on the list haven't returned anything recent, so just to check: does someone has an image for the RaspberryPi laying around, which I could test on my shiny new board? I'm aware that the project currently focuses on different platform version, but maybe some people have been doing some pioneering already :-) I also understand that it is important to have focus, but given the huge interest and growing availability of the RaspberryPi, this little device has a *lot* of potential. So I'd think that there is/will be demand for (maybe a stripped down?) openSUSE version for it.

[opensuse-arm] EfikaMX - Kernel 3.4.x - no /dev/rtc0
by Matthias G. Eckermann 30 Jul '12

30 Jul '12

Hello all, after having successfully booted my EfikaMX with a Kernel 2.6.31 based openSUSE build, I wanted to move on to the most recent stuff, and used: LimeJeOS-openSUSE-12.2-ARM-efika.armv7l-1.12.2-Build6.1.raw.xz which I yesterday got from: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Factory:/ARM/images/ Ignoring Graphics, there is only one real issue with this: the 3.4.4.3 kernel does not initialize the RTC device (/dev/rtc0), thus the system boots up on 1970-01-01. Looking into the Kernel configuration, there is no obvious option missing. Any ideas? Thanks in advance - so long - MgE -- Matthias G.

[opensuse-arm] flash player is missing?
by Bamvor Jian Zhang 30 Jul '12

30 Jul '12

Hi, I have boot opensuse armo on my mele A1000(Allwinner A10 Cpu: Cortex-A8(a)1.2GHz) IceWM and xfce is ok. But I found that there is no flash player included in opensuse arm. Is it true? Do we have plan to work on it? There are lots of website counting on it.

[opensuse-arm] gcj and 12.2 status
by Alexander Graf 28 Jul '12

28 Jul '12

Hi guys, Here's a short update from the last couple weeks / days on recent decisions we made quickly, to get things rolling. 1) There is now an openSUSE:12.2:ARM branch. That branch is currently in bootstrap and will probably be stuck there for the next weeks. 2) We used to build everything with thumb2 code. We still do for Factory, but bumped 12.2 to legacy arm code. Now for some more detail on the respective items. --- openSUSE 12.2 --- We need to get a 12.2 release out. People don't want to play with a factory build that can break every day. They usually don't even do that on x86 which gets tested a lot more than the ARM builds :). So we figured, we should have a full 12.2 build available as soon as possible. We probably won't get all our ARM special fixes in for the release, so we're currently working on a solution to keep our ARM base open to change, while still maintaining update compatibility, so that we get all the glorious 12.2 hardening for all the non-ARM-specific issues. Stay tuned for details :). --- gcj and thumb --- After a pretty tough debugging marathon, we finally found out last night that gcj miscompiles its hash map implementation (which is java code that gets compiled to assembly) when using thumb. Funnily enough neither Debian nor Fedora build with thumb as their default. Because neither Dirk nor me felt like digging into the full build process of gcj (which takes > 8h) to boil it down to a specific instruction that gets misplaced and it was already Friday, we concluded that we do: * default to non-thumb (-marm) for the 12.2 build, so we don't accidentally hit bugs other distros haven't hit either * build gcj with -marm in Factory, until we figured out what the problem is We will write a full summary of what we did and what exactly we debugged things down to in a bug report against gcc, so that the upstream/Linaro folks don't need to go through the same tedious debugging as us. --- Once we're through that, we should have a working java stack everywhere. I'm also thrilled to see how many build failures we'll have left on 12.2 after all the thumb introduced issues are evaporated :). Have a nice weekend!

[opensuse-arm] llvm build
by Alexander Graf 24 Jul '12

24 Jul '12

Hi Adrian, Something looks weird in the llvm build. I'm getting an assert during compilation: [22708s] /emul/x86_64-for-arm//usr/lib/gcc/armv7hl-suse-linux-gnueabi/4.7/../../../../armv7hl-suse-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: BFD (GNU Binutils; openSUSE Factory) 2.22 assertion fail ../../bfd/elf32-arm.c:11477 which points to this source line: 11473 /* If the input has no requirement about FP hardware, do 11474 nothing. */ 11475 else if (in_attr[i].i == 0) 11476 { 11477 BFD_ASSERT (in_attr[Tag_ABI_HardFP_use].i == 0); So for some reason the compiler generated softfp code, but the linker thinks it should he hardfp instead? Does the resulting binary work? Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] O-DroidX For ARM Dev
by Manu Gupta 24 Jul '12

24 Jul '12

Hi All, thanks for the lot of info you have given me. On Further investigating I came across this board ODROID-X http://www.hardkernel.com/renewal_2011/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G13399… Seems like a good choice to me but would like second opinions too. 1. It has a cortex A-9 which is armv7 2. It has video out ( so I can connect to my laptop ) 3. Its cheaper than most. (129 USD ) 4. Its based on exynos, so maybe it can be extended to origen too. I am stressing on the video out, because the laptop is the only video output device which I have..other than my phone. I had questions like - 1. Difference between board bringups and working on top layers too. I could not fully understand that part. Thanks a lot..

[opensuse-arm] BeagleBone for openSUSE ARM
by Manu Gupta 19 Jul '12

19 Jul '12

Hi All, I have been looking on the internet for a ARM board. My current budget for an ARM board is 100 Euros / 6000 INR. While going through the net, I came across BeagleBone http://beagleboard.org/bone Can you guys have a look at it and suggest me if its a okaish choice. Is there anything else that you can suggest me under the same range. One more question I had was, if I buy this board Can I connect it to my Laptop's LCD as I cannot afford anything over and above the above price range. Suggestions are welcome. Thanks a lot -- Regards Manu Gupta -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org
