[opensuse-arm] Latest 13.1 JeOS image for Chromebook broken
by Daniel Bischof 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Hi, the image openSUSE-13.1-ARM-JeOS-chromebook.armv7l-1.12.1-Build15.1 from [1] is broken. It does not even show a bootloader prompt or something, the Chromebook just falls back to the white screen (the one that expects Ctrl-U to boot from SD). Something I could try?

[opensuse-arm] 13.1 & neon?
by Michal Hrusecky 06 Jan '14

06 Jan '14

Hi, today I tried upgrading openSUSE on my tablet (Tegra2) from 12.3 to 13.1 and I ended up with invalid instruction errors just after update of glibc. My guess is that glibc was compiled with neon support enabled. Was there any decision to drop non-neon devices or is it simply a bug? Is it just glibc that has neon enabled or everything? I know that for 32bits we have two glibc packages, maybe something similar would be possible for armv7? -- Michal Hrusecky <Michal(a)Hrusecky.net> -- 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 13.1 for armv7 upgrade
by G. Heim 23 Dec '13

23 Dec '13

Hi all, OpenSUSE 13.1 for PC just came out. I understood that there will be an armv7 version. Is that correct? And if so, when and where can I find it? What is the (preferably easy) way to upgrade my existing 12.3 to 13.1 (by not reinstalling everything)? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] u-boot 2013.04 fixed for pandaboard
by Guillaume Gardet 13 Dec '13

13 Dec '13

Hi Dirk, Hi Alex, I managed to fix OMAP4 pandaboard MLO (u-boot SPL). Please accept SR#207990 to Base:System project and copypac it 13.1:Ports It tried to boot in raw mode, instead of FAT/EXT2 mode for OMAP4 boards. We still need to update to 2013.10 more or less quickly to fully support Device Tree, but we could start with this one for now. I also updated u-boot to 2013.10 locally but I am missing sunxi patch for 2013.10. Dirk, where did you get this patch?

[opensuse-arm] Move to Device Tree
by Guillaume Gardet 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

Hi, As you may know all ARM boards support should move more or less quickly to Device Tree. Upstream folder for DTB files is /boot/dtb/ (and not /boot/ as it is currently the case for some of our boards, such as Arndale). So we have to modify that. I will submit a patch for JeOS image later but we need to add or fix some packages first. For beagle and panda, the DTB packages are currently in Base:System project only. So we need to copy them to 13.1:Ports. (I have no right to do it, Dirk or Alex, could you do it, please?) Moreover, we need to update u-boot ASAP because: * current u-boot is not able to choose which DTB to load depending on board version (beagle original or beagle xM - panda, panda A4 or panda ES). * current panda MLO (u-boot SPL) is broken * We have the last kernel before omap4 (panda) boards are only DT. (done in 3.12, we are in 3.11.* for openSUSE 13.1). We can switch Arndale DTB to dtb-source package as it is done for beagle and panda (support already included). (I have no right to do it, Dirk or Alex, could you do it, please?) I cannot find where is the DTB for chromebook. I have also added support for chromebook DTB in dtb-source package if needed. If needed I can add support for more DT packages for other boards in dtb-source package. If you have any comment, please share.

[opensuse-arm] [RFC] kernel-default armv7 config update/fix
by Guillaume Gardet 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

Hi, I already sent a patch to opensuse-kernel ML to set CONFIG_GPIO_TWL4030 as built-in (instead of module). It is a requirement to boot on SD card on beagleboard xM. See: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kernel/2013-11/msg00028.html But it is not merged. I will send a ping. In attachment, you will find a patch to: * Add USB PHY support (needed to get USB and Ethernet working on beagle and panda) * Add CONFIG_PINCTRL_SINGLE=y to be able to use Device tree (at least for beagle and pandaboard) * Add ARM SoC sound support * Add SPI bus support * Add user-space access to I2C and SPI * Switch DRM omap from built-in to module to ease debug (it does not work at all ATM!) Please comment. Most of the changes were present in previous config (at least old omap2plus config). No idea why it have not been kept/re-added before. If nobody object in the next days, I will submit it to opensuse-kernel ML for inclusion. We need to get bootable images for beagle and panda ASAP. Guillaume

Thanks for your reply again. I tried to upgrade as follows and it failed. 1.
