[opensuse-arm] Ne10 package
by Andrew Wafaa 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

Hi, I've packaged Ne10[0] an open source library to leverage Neon. It probably needs a clean up[1] before submitting (feedback welcome), but what I wanted to know is where should I submit this to as a devel project as I would like to see this included in 13.1. Thanks, Andy 0 - http://projectne10.org 1 - https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=Ne10&project=home%3AFunkyPe… -- Andrew Wafaa IRC: FunkyPenguin GPG: 0x3A36312F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] ODROID-X
by Sid Boyce 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

I have the ODROID-X and I installed odroidx-20121112-openSUSE-12.2-ARM_FOR_HDMI.img to replace Ubuntu 12.10. I have used the 12.3 repo to upgrade it and on a number of occasions it powered off during zypper dup. A check found the board was running at 1.7GHz so I now have the governor set for ondemand. It also powered off installing Hardkernel-Mali400-OpenSUSE-12.2-MultiInstall so I'll wait for the 12.3 version as mali400 support is something I need for the quisk SDR (Software Defined Radio) application which otherwise renders every spoken word unintelligible by video hogging CPU resources. Hardkernel are finding it difficult to get the mali400 driver working in kernel 3.6.x on Ubuntu so it only works 3.0.x kernels. The max98090 sound driver only exposes mixer controls SPK and Mic but we think later kernels should expose more controls. 12.3 has installed kernel 3.7.9-1.1 but it's still running 3.6.6. Everything in /boot is OK, but in /odroid-boot it still has 3.6.6 uImage and uInitrd. I have made uInitrd for 3.7.9-1.1 and I'll change uImage in /odroid-boot. Excellently done, congrats.

[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] OpenSUSE 12.3 for armv7 on Mirabox almost runnning
by G. Heim 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

For anyone who is interested in being able to run openSUSE 12.3 on Globalscale's Mirabox. Unfortunately I did not succeed... First I tried with the "standard" mirabox kernel 2.6.35.9 and the rootfs for openSUSE 12.3 for armv7 (see my previous posts on this mailing list). That did not work since (as I learned from some people around here, thanks!) the kernel was too old for openSUSE. So I tried to compile my own kernel. I started with 3.9-rc5 and a while later with 3.9-rc6. I did quite some tweaks and twiddeling and finally came up with this kernel config: http://pastebin.com/MjpE3yUD. This one does run, you can get into openSUSE, login as root etc., but I wasn't able to get the network up and running and the USB3 ports working. Note that my config file disables wifi and bluetooth (I got some errors and since I do not need it I disabled them). For the network, for 3.9-rc6 it seems to run but it cannot connect to "the outside world" even when I give it a fixed ip address with ifconfig (it is not able to get an ip address from my dhcp server). The weird thing is that the MAC addresses openSUSE thinks it has for eth0 and eth1 are not the MAC addresses which are printed on the mirabox itself. For the USB3 ports, I have no clue at all how to get those working. What I know, is that they are connected to an internal PCIe interface, but I couldn't find any options to enable it. For me, the USB3 ports are fundamental since I need to connect an external hard disk to it. I know it can be done because I have them working using debian 6 (with the "standard" mirabox kernel 2.6.35.9). For anyone who wants to compile the kernel, be aware it works with a device tree. Since Mirabox u-boot is quite old, you cannot use it directly. This is what I did to get a working uImage: cp arch/arm/boot/zImage . cp arch/arm/boot/dts/armada-370-mirabox.dtb . cat zImage armada-370-mirabox.dtb > zImage-mirabox mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n linux-3.9-rc6 -d zImage-mirabox uImage If anyone wants to proceed with this, please feel free to do so! And please post your findings back here. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] OpenStack/ARM status
by Bernhard M. Wiedemann 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

Hi, I have been working towards getting OpenStack/Folsom to work on openSUSE-12.3/ARM. First, to get it to boot a VM with LXC on x86, I had to workaround https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=814680 but when doing this on my pandaboard, it ran into another problem, claiming "internal error cannot create rule since ebtables tool is missing." even though, the ebtables tool was there, but when running libvirtd --listen in the foreground, it printed a better hint: Failure to execute command '$EBT -t nat -L' : 'FATAL: Module ebtables not found. coming from # CONFIG_BRIDGE_NF_EBTABLES is not set so I'm now going to build additional kernel modules to see how many it takes to get it working.

[opensuse-arm] new Raspberry Pi image
by Bernhard M. Wiedemann 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

Hi, on this extra-long weekend I tried to build a new Raspberry Pi image in OBS, which failed from at least two bugs: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812589 and some kiwi problem, that might be improved in current kiwi git So in the end I updated my custom-built image once more at http://zq1.de/~bernhard/linux/opensuse/raspberrypi-opensuse-20130401.img.gz This has current Factory packages, the repo URL updated and the kernel upgraded to 3.6 because that is what the raspberry developers maintain atm. I packaged this kernel without xen at https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=openSUSE%3AFactory%3AARM%3A… but for some reason, the build process declares it as failure, so I built it locally and copied the arch/arm/boot/zImage out. The old 3.1 kernel is now running into the same failure, even though I did not change it much, so I guess the breakage comes from somewhere else. Would be nice if Adrian or Dirk could have a look.

[opensuse-arm] fail on generate kiwi image for cubieboard(Allwinner A10) for opensuse 12.3
by Bamvor Jian Zhang 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

hi, cubieboard is Allwinner A10 based board, including 1GHz Cortex-A8 and Mali-400 GPU. i am trying to build a kiwi image for Allwinner A10. i have already run opensuse 12.3 successful on kernel 3.0. the kernel and uboot is build on obs: home:bjzhang:devel:ARM:12.3:Contrib:sun4i/kernel-sun4i home:bjzhang:devel:ARM:12.3:Contrib:sun4i/uboot-sun4i i reference "openSUSE for ARM on your device" slide and modify Image.kiwi.in then generate kiwi through "sh pre_checkin.sh". but i got lots of problems. i do not use kiwi before this, sorry for the noise: 1, when will uboot-setup.tgz used? it seems that it only used when kernel update on opensuse arm? So, i could just ignore it when build image at the beginning? 2, Jeos-cubieboard build successful, but xz image seems empty and tar.bz2 is generated. i could only see xz package on http://download.opensuse.org/ports/armv7hl/distribution/12.3/images/ except XFCE-rootfs. do i miss something important in Jeos-cubieboard.kiwi? 3, build image on server is very slow, i want to build locally, but i failed on both x86_64 and arm. 1), if i build on x64_64 on opensuse 12.3: XFCE-cubieboard> osc build XFCE-cubieboard.kiwi images armv7l --clean Building armv7l for XFCE-cubieboard.kiwi/images Unknown build type: ''. Build description should end in .spec, .dsc or .kiwi. 2), if i build on arm on opensuse12.2, lots of package not found, e.g. gawk, patch. 4, i could not find my package on https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Abjzhang%3Adevel%3AAR…, but i could search and access the package on obs, why? 5, some name of my packages is not correct, but i do not know how to rename it, e.g. it had better rename uboot-sun4i to u-boot-sun4i and rename Jeos-cubieboard to JeOS-cubieboard. beside, i could not find firefox on my opensuse arm 12.3, do i missing something? thanks in advance.

[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
