[opensuse-arm] openSUSE 12.2 and Snowball baord
by Alexjan Carraturo 02 Jan '13

02 Jan '13

Hi to all Actually, after some test, and some little "hack" the release 12.2 of openSUSE ARM 12.2 is working on my Snowball baord. Actually, even if I'm using the Xfce version of the rootfs, the device boot only and load the console (the kernel is passed via tftp and the filesystem via NFS). From command line works fine, even if I had some problem with "firstboot" due to minicom serial console. I have still some problem with kernel modules (Wifi first of all). Soon I will test the "hdmiservice". I try to build the "riff" utility, but I have to do this manually (I'm unable to build with .spec file. I hope to make a demo valid until January 12. If I can bring the Snowball with openSUSE at the Cerea Fair ( http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Cerea_Fair_2013 ). I remember that someone in this list as already started to work with Snowball ( Andrew Wafaa if I remember well) and would like to know his results with Snowball board, and if he can give me some adivce to use at the best that board.

[opensuse-arm] ARMBRIX board
by Bill Merriam 02 Jan '13

02 Jan '13

These folks are making a board similar to the Arndale board, but cheaper $135/$145. It is supposed to ship Q1 2013. They are giving away one via a raffle. http://www.howchip.com/shop/item.php?it_id=BRIX5250A http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/12/26/135-armbrix-zero-exynos-5-developmen… Bill -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] Exclusive target for Raspberry PI
by Cristian Rodríguez 02 Jan '13

02 Jan '13

Hi: I was wondering.. it makes sense to create an exclusive target for the Raspberry PI (march=armv6zk -mcpu=arm1176jzf-s hard float, thumb) There are 1 millon devices out there..probably more than any other target we currently have .. is there any reason not to have it ? can anyone point me how exactly to integrate an armv6k compiler into the OBS ? Thanks and I am looking forward to your comments. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] HugeTLB and THP support on ARM
by Andrew Wafaa 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

I've been asked if anyone from SUSE/openSUSE has looked at the patches that introduce HugeTLB & THP support on ARM? The patches were posted[0] but there's little feedback. These patches are included in the the Arndale kernel that we use and should be of benefit to KVM etc. Any comment on the patches would be appreciated. Thanks, Andy 0-http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2012-October/126382… -- 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] Preparing 12.3 Milestone 2
by Dirk Müller 15 Dec '12

15 Dec '12

Hi, http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Factory:/ARM/images/ does anyone see a blocker issue with those images being released as Milestone 2? I've tested the panda image and it seems to work. Any volunteer for the other images? Ideally I'd like to push it out as Milestone 2 asap.

[opensuse-arm] Tell us what is supported on your ARM board
by Guillaume Gardet 14 Dec '12

14 Dec '12

Hi, I made a little table to have an overview of what is supported by openSUSE on ARM boards. It would be very nice if you could help to fill this table: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Supported_ARM_boards#12.2 Regards, Guillaume -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

by Guillaume Gardet 13 Dec '12

13 Dec '12

Hi, The following ARMv7 kernels failed to build. kernel-default kernel-exynos kernel-highbank kernel-imx51 kernel-omap2plus kernel-tegra The followings succeded with no problem: kernel-cubox kernel-u8500 Is there anybody available to fix some of those configs? I already sent a patch to -kernel ML to fix kernel-default.

[opensuse-arm] Submit a package from devel:Factory:ARM to dev project (and then to Factory)
by Guillaume Gardet 11 Dec '12

11 Dec '12

Hi, I just fixed libvpx on ARM (see [0]) and I want to clarify the workflow then. I will submit it to devel project (multimedia:libs) and then ask to forward it to Factory. Once accepeted in devel project (or Factory?), we could remove the package from devel:Factory:ARM to only have it in Factory. Is it the right way? If any advice or tips, please share! :) Guillaume [0]: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=libvpx&project=devel%3AFact… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] libgcc_s1 verify error
by Adrian Schröter 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

JFYI, in case you wonder why local builds currently through an error that libgcc_s1 is not valid signed: I had to handcraft the armv5el package and to copy the armv7el from devel:gcc due to the rename. The gcc47 build did fail otherwise always at the end because the libgcc_s1 lib got deinstalled. We should be fine again in 8-9 hours when the gcc47 got rebuild. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian(a)suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] ARM multiplatform (default?) kernel
by Guillaume Gardet 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

Hi, First steps to a multiplatform kernel for ARM have been merged recently. See: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h… So, we may update the default kernel config to a multiplatform config since it is the purpose of our default config. What do you think about it? Currently, we could enable the following armv7 mach in this config: * Marvell SOCs with Device Tree support (armada 370 and armada xp) * Calxeda ECX-1000 (Highbank) * Altera SOCFPGA family * ARM Ltd. Versatile Express family There is also an ARMv6 mach: * Picochip PicoXcell Guillaume -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org
