[opensuse-arm] New package for ARM: raspberrypi-firmware
by Andreas Färber 22 Dec '15

22 Dec '15

Hello, I have submitted the raspberrypi-firmware package for inclusion in Factory: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/341314 This package contains VideoCore IV binaries that are read from a FAT partition by the Raspberry Pi boot ROM. Without these files neither the ARM U-Boot bootloader nor an ARM kernel can be booted on that device. It is not really needed on x86 systems, so as alternative we could submit it to openSUSE:Factory:ARM instead. However, since in the past some non-free binaries snuck into this package (disguised as SUSE-Firmware instead of SUSE-NonFree license and probably without obtaining permission first), I think it makes sense to have it go through the full legal review process of openSUSE:Factory. Similarly, I would like to split out arndale-bl1.img from u-boot package as arndale-firmware (a signed version of GPL'ed U-Boot Secondary Program Loader) and to submit odroid{,xu}-firmware at some point, possibly more. This will allow us to build JeOS images for boards with upstream U-Boot and upstream kernel support centrally in openSUSE:Factory:ARM rather than in some Contrib project. In particular my intent here is to drop the devel:ARM:Factory:Contrib:RaspberryPi:upstream project in favor of openSUSE:Factory:ARM.

[opensuse-arm] Raspberry Pi model 2 - ARM7
by gm1mqe＠aol.com 30 Nov '15

I have downloaded several images and written them to an SD card with SD Image Writer but can not get anything to boot. Am I using the correct software to write the SD card and what image should I be using.

[opensuse-arm] Most ARM v7 workers are broken
by Guillaume Gardet 30 Nov '15

30 Nov '15

Hi, Sorry for cross post (-arm and -buildservice) but not sure who should fix this problem. Some ARM v7 workers are broken. They start to boot and then fail. Thus, lots of packages go to building state but return quickly to scheduled state. armbuild numbers 13, 16, 17, 18 and 19 are failing workers. armbuild15 does not seem to be ok but it seems to be a slightly different bug.

See for It is trivial to expose link address as configure parameter; would it be useful for you? Ultimate solution is to support relocation in U-Boot.

Hello, I've found that boot partition of JeOS-beaglebone image from openSUSE:Factory:ARM doesn't have any dtb files. I don't think that it is ok. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] Tests of latest images for RPi1
by Freek de Kruijf 16 Nov '15

16 Nov '15

Build336.2 from repositories/devel:/ARM:/Factory:/Contrib:/RaspberryPi:/upstream/ boots, the SD is partitioned and the resulting system boots. However the Ethernet connection does not become active. The lights stay off. I could not find a method to list the journal on the SD partition on a system where the SD is mounted. Build325.2 from repositories/devel:/ARM:/Factory:/Contrib:/RaspberryPi/ does the low level boot, but after that, like before, can't find the boot image on the 3rd partition. Upgrading a system build earlier with a working image works OK. Finally the problem using the command "yast lan" is solved. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] nbd support for JeOS
by Matwey V. Kornilov 15 Nov '15

15 Nov '15

Hello, What do you think about adding possibility to use nbd (network block device) as a root partition for JeOSes? It could be useful for hardware-testing farms. For instance, u-boot takes kernel and initrd via tftp and then kiwi-based initrd mounts root device /dev/nbd0 feed by qemu-nbd. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] Cross-compilation for armv7
by Karl Weber 15 Nov '15

15 Nov '15

Hi, please be patient with me, cross-compilation is completely new to me. I have an x86_64 host with opensuse 13.1 and want to cross-compile my own linux system for a raspberry pi. In my opensuse-repositories I found the two packages cross-arm-binutils (2.23.2-8.1.2) cross-armv7hl-gcc48-icecream-backend (4.8.1_20130909-3.2.1) >From what I unterstand, I should be able to cross-compile a linux system for armv7 after installing these two packages. Is this correct? In [1] it is stated that "openSUSE does not currently ship a cross-compiler for ARM." which is -- as far as I understand this -- a contradiction. Ref [1] describes another solution which seems suboptimal to me. And from [2] I gather that cross-compilation currently does not work. This thread, however, deals with other versions of the packages given above. Do I have to expect the same problems? Thanks in advance for your help!
