[opensuse-arm] openSUSE 12.2 and Snowball baord

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.

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 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
