[opensuse-arm] Request for testing help: openSUSE Leap 42.2 for ARMv7 images
by Dirk Müller 12 Dec '16

12 Dec '16

Hi All, over the last few days I've been pretty busy with enabling pre-configured appliances for ARMv7 and AArch64 on openSUSE Leap 42.2, and I'm happy to report that we now have some images available: http://download.opensuse.org/ports/armv7hl/distribution/leap/42.2/appliance… http://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/distribution/leap/42.2/appliance… As you can see its a pretty elaborative list of images, and I don't have time to test all of them myself. so whoever is interested in having some of those variants working for him, please try them out and report both successes and failures. The overall goal is to announce the ARM port end of next week (Dec 1st) so it would be great to have some testing feedback before that (and << before that so that we can maybe even fix it before announcement). Thanks a lot in advance, Dirk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] RFC: Expansion boards in the Wiki
by Andreas Färber 29 Nov '16

29 Nov '16

Hey guys, I recently started playing with connecting Raspberry Pi Hats and Arduino Shields to boards and am wondering where/how to document this. Hats may be compatible with multiple boards but may need board-specific instructions for the device tree. I am therefore thinking that an expansion-board-centric page with instructions for one or more boards may be the best approach. For ARM boards we are so far using the flat HCL namespace and a Category:ARM_devices to group them. Should we do the same for shields (HCL:Foo_Shield) and have another Category page to locate them? Or should we have some two-level namespace like HCL:Arduino_Shield/Foo? Another interesting question then is how would we generate a list of compatible expansion boards pages on, say, HCL:Raspberry_Pi2? Would that be possible if we had, e.g., Category:Raspberry_Pi_B+_Connector? Or should we rather manually maintain such bidirectional links? Any thoughts and suggestions appreciated.

[opensuse-arm] SLES on RPi3
by Bill Merriam 23 Nov '16

23 Nov '16

It appears SUSE gave out free RPi3's with cool custom cases at SUSEcon. They had SLES installed on them. I wasn't there so I missed out on the cool case but it turns out you can still get a copy of SLES with a 365 day license and 60 days of patches. https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/suse-linux-enterprise-server-for-raspberry… http://hackerboards.com/first-64-bit-distro-for-raspberry-pi-3-issuse/ https://www.suse.com/communities/blog/suse-linux-enterprise-server-raspberr… That blog post has this link for the download. Why do people use URL shorteners for links that are on web pages? http://tinyurl.com/slespi This weekend I have lots of versions of OpenSUSE for ARM and now SLES to test.

[opensuse-arm] Tumbleweed-Jeos fails on second boot on raspberry and pi and pi2
by Herbert Graeber 23 Nov '16

23 Nov '16

Hi! I tried the latest raspberry pi and pi2 images (armv6l-2016.1.15-Build57 resp. armv7l-2016.11.15-Build5.9). Both fail on the second boot with the error "ext4fs_devread read outside partition ...". Afterward it tries to boot from TFTP. Searching the net gives the suggestion, that the 64bit feature may be set on the ext4 partition, so that U-Boot cannot boot. I have found a matching opensuse bug report (boo#989284), too. But checking the partition with dumpe2fs and haven't found this feature. Are any hints how I can make the images work? How can help to resolve this issue? Here is the full log from the pi2: > U-Boot 2016.09.01 (Oct 15 2016 - 11:25:48 +0000) > > DRAM: 880 MiB > RPI 2 Model B (0xa01041) > MMC: bcm2835_sdhci: 0 > reading uboot.env > > ** Unable to read "uboot.env" from mmc0:1 ** > Using default environment > > In: serial > Out: lcd > Err: lcd > Net: Net Initialization Skipped > No ethernet found. > starting USB... > USB0: Core Release: 2.80a > scanning bus 0 for devices... 3 USB Device(s) found > scanning usb for storage devices... 0 Storage Device(s) found > scanning usb for ethernet devices... 1 Ethernet Device(s) found > Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0 > switch to partitions #0, OK > mmc0 is current device > Scanning mmc 0:2... > Found U-Boot script /boot/boot.scr > ext4fs_devread read outside partition 2225344 > ## Executing script at 02000000 > Wrong image format for "source" command > SCRIPT FAILED: continuing... > 11691 bytes read in 128 ms (88.9 KiB/s) > > USB device 0: unknown device > Waiting for Ethernet connection... unable to connect. > missing environment variable: pxeuuid > missing environment variable: bootfile Herbert

[opensuse-arm] ARM auto tests
by Guillaume Gardet 21 Nov '16

21 Nov '16

Hi ARM guys! I think current openQA AArch64 tests are done using qemu (at least virtualization). But, how far is ARM tests on real hardware? It seems os-autoinst support real hardware and I remember that some people worked on it during hackweeks. I would like to collect all information in order to maybe work on it a bit. For example, which devices do you use to power on/off boards. Did you use os-autoinst or some other tests tools?

[opensuse-arm] Tests with images from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/ARM:/Factory:/Contrib:/RaspberryPi3/images/
by Freek de Kruijf 19 Nov '16

19 Nov '16

I did tests with images from the above site on: openSUSE-Tumbleweed-ARM-JeOS-raspberrypi3.aarch64-2016.11.15-Build7. [4-6].raw.xz All did show the Grub boot screen and continued, but stopped with a message on my TV screen as in the attached photo. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf

[opensuse-arm] Image from download /ports/aarch64/tumbleweed does not boot at all
by Freek de Kruijf 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

I tried from http://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/tumbleweed/images/ the image: openSUSE-Tumbleweed-ARM-JeOS-raspberrypi3_aarch64.aarch64-2016.06.03- Build4.1.raw.xz This one does not boot at all. Not a single message on the screen. Is there another image I should use on my RPi3? Maybe openSUSE-Tumbleweed-ARM-JeOS-efi.aarch64-2016.10.30-Build1.1.raw.xz ? I do not need any desktop on that device, just some servers. -- 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] First boot of Leap 42.2 aarch64 image on RPI3
by Freek de Kruijf 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

I tried the image openSUSE-Leap42.2-ARM-JeOS- raspberrypi3_aarch64.aarch64-2016.11.09-Build3.2.raw.xz from http://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/distribution/leap/42.2/appliance… on my RPi3 and found one problem. It hangs when a USB drive is connected, otherwise it works OK. -- 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] Leap 42.2
by Bill Merriam 16 Nov '16

16 Nov '16

Leap 42.2 has been released (yeah!) and there are repositories for armv7 and aarch64 (YEAH!). Does anybody know if they work and if so on what machines? I notice there is an appliance for aarch64 rpi3 http://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/distribution/leap/42.2-Current/a… and for a general EFI aarch64 device http://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/distribution/leap/42.2-Current/a… . Also interestingly there is an ISO image http://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/distribution/leap/42.2-Current/i… . Perhaps this is for the Softiron server. Does it work with something else? If I have Tumbleweed running on an ARM machine can I upgrade to Leap 42.2 with any hope of success?
