[opensuse-arm] WARNING Do not update a working RPi2 system to the newest kernel
by Freek de Kruijf 22 Mar '16

22 Mar '16

The Tumbleweed repository for RPi2 contains a new kernel 4.1.16. However updating/upgrading to that version of the kernel gives you a NONE-working system. Also the newest images with 2016.03.09 in the name do boot, however a second boot fails. On second boot the system tries to boot via the network. -- 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] (Untested) RPI3 image - testers wanted
by Dirk Müller 18 Mar '16

18 Mar '16

Hi, http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/ARM:/Factory:/Contrib:/Ras… (yeah, I know its the Pi2 path, I was lazy) contains an untested raspberrypi3 image. I already know that serial is broken, that seems to be an upstream issue (due to the changed clock frequencies). I haven't tested it further yet, need to buy some HDMI capable screen first. Let me know your findings. Greetings, 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] Support for RPi camera in openSUSE for Rasberry Pi?
by Freek de Kruijf 14 Mar '16

14 Mar '16

Is there any support for the RPi camera in the openSUSE software for a Raspberry Pi? I tried to find sources, but did not succeed. -- 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] u-boot+EFI: how to debug grub2?
by Matwey V. Kornilov 14 Mar '16

14 Mar '16

Hello, I am trying to boot on Phytec Wega board (TI AM33xx based) with u-boot+EFI+grub2 and just see Booting `openSUSE-Tumbleweed-ARM-JeOS-wega [ VMX ]' Loading linux.vmx... Loading initrd.vmx... and then board is rebooted after some time (I think, by watchdog). I am sure that kernel console parameter is correct. Before EFI was introduced to u-boot, I had booted this board successfully. Is there a simple way to somehow understand what is going wrong 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] Which ARMv8 board to choose?
by Guillaume Gardet 14 Mar '16

14 Mar '16

Hi, I would like to purchase an (affordable) armv8 board but I do not know which one. Could you give me some hints, please? I found the HiKey: https://www.96boards.org/products/ce/hikey/ which is $75 (or $99 in 2GB RAM version), plus shipping.

[opensuse-arm] RPi 3 in transit via UPS
by Jimmy PIERRE 13 Mar '16

13 Mar '16

Greetings, Text message indicates that my RPI3 could be delivered to-day. I will therefore take it to our Software Freedom Day on Saturday 19th March. Anybody tested: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:ARM:Factory:Contrib:Raspberry… ? It will be great that openSUSE can be seen here : https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/ Best, Jimmy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] Rpi2 Config.txt
by Michael Emory Cerquoni 12 Mar '16

12 Mar '16

Is there a reason the config.txt sets the speed of the cpu to 840mhz for the Rpi2 images? would this not be considered underclocking? I have however noticed that making changes to the config.txt also does not really do anything so maybe its currently just being ignored? Anyway still seems odd to me that its not using a proper rpi2 config.txt, seems better to me that these should be set to the default pi2 speeds out of the box. from the current Config.txt: --------------------------------------- # Max ARM freq (default 700 MHz) arm_freq=840 # Max core (GPU) freq (default 250 MHz) core_freq=375 # SDRAM freq (default 400) sdram_freq=400 --------------------------------------- -- Michael Emory Cerquoni -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] Tumbleweed Raspberry Pi2 i2c-tools not work
by Denislav Radoslavov 12 Mar '16

12 Mar '16

Tumbleweed for Raspberry Pi2 hardware detect with i2c-tools not wok. Do samples with Real Time Clock DS3231. Add in etc/modulse-load.d - i2c-dev, rtc-ds1307, snd-bcm2835. Driver i2c-bcm2835 not add to load - error modprobe: FATAL: Module i2c-bcm2835 not found in directory /lib/modules/3.18.14-5-rpi2 . After command sudo i2cdetect -y 1 , result is - Error: Could not open file `/dev/i2c-1' or `/dev/i2c/1': No such file or directory . All work with Raspbian, but i wont to work with openSUSE. After week рeading on the Internet, i think the problem is python-smbus (i2c-tools-python in fedora). With this problem, Raspberry not work with GPIO interface (sensors and etc). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] Switching to EFI on ARM (slowly)
by Alexander Graf 11 Mar '16

11 Mar '16

Hi, One of the pain points we've had on the ARM openSUSE distributions was that we were always generating a u-boot boot.script that would just point to /boot/uImage /boot/initrd, so you would always get the latest (possibly broken) kernel after an update and you couldn't modify the kernel command line easily. The usual way we boot on other architectures is to have grub2 help you out with this. Grub2 provides easy interfaces to select a kernel on boot, modify kernel command lines, allows for booting from btrfs snapshots etc. To get you to this glory on ARM, we've added EFI support to U-Boot. So U-Boot can (on supported systems) now seamlessly execute an EFI application like grub2. This allows for an easy bootstrapping process. So far, we have converted the following boards: - Beaglebone black - Beagleboard xm - Pandaboard Give them a try now while they're fresh. More will come and you are more than welcome to try and convert them yourself as well. To do so, just set #define USE_EFI 1 in the image template. If the board doesn't boot after that change, make sure it is converted to distro boot in U-Boot. The systems I'm holding back on converting right now are graphically enabled ones (like the RPi), because I'd like to enable the EFI gfx interface first, so that users get a good grub2 experience. With that, happy hacking and I'm hoping for lots of glorious conversions from the community :).
