[opensuse-arm] Beagleboard Xm CPU speed
by gary 11 May '13

I can't seem to get past 800MHz on the Beagleboard XM cpu clock, though the part is rated for 1GHz. The 800MHz limit can't be exceeded.

[opensuse-arm] [Cubieboard] opensuse image.
by Matt Chen 14 Apr '13

14 Apr '13

Hi, I just bought a cubieboard and found a image in https://www.miniand.com/forums/forums/development/topics/install-opensuse-1…. This image is without enabling the LAN driver but is working fine to me. And I am wondering where I can find the source of the image ? Or is there any project in our obs for building the image for cubieboard ? Thanks.

[opensuse-arm] omapdrm problem
by Guillaume Gardet 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

Hi, in attachment omapdrm log OK (openSUSE 12.2 kernel: 3.4.*) and KO (vanilla kernel 3.9-rc1). I think, we had a hack for omapdrm for openSUSE 12.2 (forcing 1024x768 because of broken things?). Alex, it is you who have backported omapdrm on 12.2 kernel. Any idea about that? Guillaume

[opensuse-arm] OpenSUSE 12.3 for armv7 on Mirabox fails
by G. Heim 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

Standard, Mirabox is delivered with Debian. I would like to have it run OpenSUSE 12.3 for armV7 because I like openSUSE better :-) and it is natively compiled for armv7. Debian Squeeze (debian 6) is not (it is compiled for armv5 if I understand correctly, which sounds kind-of silly on an armv7 architecture). So I downloaded the opensuse image from http://download.opensuse.org/ports/armv7hl/distribution/12.3/images/openSUS… and put it on my sdcard. I made 2 partitions, one FAT ca. 100MB for uImage (from the rootfs in the tbz file) and the remainder ext4 for the rootfilesystem. I hoped it would work right away but it did not. Right after the loading phase of uboot it stopped after the message "uncompressing linux...done, booting the kernel" and nothing was displayed. Then I thought I might use the precompiled uImage (from the debian distribution) together with the /lib/modules files from the debian distribution, so I copied /lib/modules from debian rootfs to the opensuse rootfs and the uImage to the FAT partition of my sdcard. It did boot but during the boot process it gave all strange errors and did not complete. uImage was from https://code.google.com/p/mirabox/downloads/detail?name=uImage-v2.6.35.9-gt… and the debian rootfs from http://www.plugcomputer.org/405/us/mirabox/sources/rootfs/mira_fs-v5-0-1-12…. At some moment, I thought that might be logical because of the armv5 arch from debian and armv7 from opensuse. Then I tried running opensuse in a chroot on the mirabox with debian as a base, as described on http://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Chroot. That worked really wonderful. So that led me to the idea of compiling my own kernel on the mirabox when being in a chroot opensuse. I grabbed the kernel sources from http://www.plugcomputer.org/405/us/mirabox/sources/kernel/mira_kernel-v5-0-…, did not modify the configuration in .config, ran "make", "make uImage", "make install", "make modules_install" and then booted opensuse with the resulting kernel. That did not work either. Right after the loading phase of uboot it stopped after the message "uncompressing linux...done, booting the kernel" and nothing was displayed. Then I tried compiling the kernel sources from opensuse (obtained from package "kernel-source" and "kernel-devel" via /sbin/yast2 in opensuse) by tweaking in the armada370 bits (including the same kernel .config file) from the kernel sources from the previous paragraph but it was too much tweaking and twiddling so I gave up on that. Why doesn't it work? What did I miss? Do I not understand the kernel building process? Any help is really appreciated.

[opensuse-arm] Fw: gcc47 for Aarch64
by Valery Reznic 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

Hello. I am running openSUSE 12.3 for aarch64 (openSUSE-12.3-AArch64-JeOS-alpha1.raw) and trying to install gcc47 from here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/ARM:/AArch64:/12.3/standar… But this package requires glibc-devel and glibc-devel I am unable to find. I found linux-glibc-devel package but it doesn't help :( So, how can I proceed? Should I install gcc using rpm's --nodeps option or glibc-devel rpm is available somewhere? Unfortunately, cross-compilation is not an option - it will require too many changes. I need install gcc aarch64 native. Thank you.

[opensuse-arm] Optimisation and porting of assembly code
by Andrew Wafaa 27 Mar '13

27 Mar '13

Hi, Not sure if anyone noticed, but Steve McIntyre of Debian/ARM/Linaro fame has done some long and laborious work scanning packages for Fedora & Ubuntu as part of the Linaro Enterprise Group. He has done a good write up of the exercise[0], and the spreadsheet attached to that wiki page has some interesting info. Is this something worth doing on openSUSE to confirm the findings?

Hello, What's the current status of CuBox support? I see that 12.2 should work: https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:CuBox But does 12.3 also support it? Bye, CzP -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse-arm] chrome

Do you have a good source (link) for how to build a distribution for arm? What I would do is just start by building one for the Beagleboard, i.e. known hardware, so as to get my feet wet. I'm trying to walk the line between being a nuisance and being useful. ;-) I'm not sure if anyone has stopped and meditated on the nature of linux and these SBCs versus running linux on a desktop or notebook. For the desktop or notebook, you get it going and don't mess with something that is working. But for these SBCs, a new OS is a cheap SDHC card away. You can actually "have a lot of fun!" ------Original Message------ From: Alexander Graf To: gary Cc: opensuse-arm(a)opensuse.org Subject: Re: [opensuse-arm] chrome Sent: Mar 26, 2013 5:49 PM On 27.03.2013, at 01:35, gary wrote: > Now I understand the Mirabox post.

It's also fairly similar to the Origen board. So maybe you could even create a working SD card image for the Odroid-X2 based on that one. Please bear in mind that exynos4 support is in abysmal state upstream. I haven't managed to get any recent kernels working at all. Alex

[opensuse-arm] login problem on serial fixed (workarounded)
by Guillaume Gardet 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

Hi, for people having problems to login through serial, just remove plymouth: zypper rm plymouth reboot and then your serial backs to normal. I have no idea why but it does fix it. Should we remove plymouth from JeOS/XFCE images? Guillaume -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org
