[opensuse-arm] New contrib images: Arndale & Chromebook
by Alexander Graf 30 Nov '12

30 Nov '12

Hi list, We now have 2 new community supported platforms: Arndale Board The Arndale board is the first widely available virtualization capable system in the ARM world. It runs on a a dual-core Samsung Exynos 5 with 1.7 Ghz (unstable, so it's throttled to 1.4Ghz and according to Linaro reports even needs to go down to 1Ghz to be stable) which is based on Cortex A15! It has KVM support, SATA, USB 3.0 and ethernet. That board is the perfect build node for OBS. Retail price is $250. http://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Arndale Samsung Chromebook The Samsung Chromebook is also based on a dual-core Exynos 5, but runs stable at 1.7Ghz. It does not have KVM enablement in the software stack yet, but that is WIP effort. However, it has a screen, keyboard and battery built in, so it's easy to carry around. It also features USB 3.0 for fast I/O. It is a full-fledged notebook and the perfect openSUSE community device, as it is a desktop that's powerful enough for every day use. Retail price is $250. http://en.opensuse.org/HCL:ARMChromebook Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] 12.2 release on Pandaboard ES - How to finish first startup?
by Thomas Mattke 29 Nov '12

29 Nov '12

Hi, I try to run the 12.2 release (http://download.opensuse.org/ports/armv7hl/distribution/12.2-untested/appli…) on a Pandaboard ES, but I can't finish the first startup. On the debug console I get following output (with CuteCom on KDE): http://paste.opensuse.org/b4bcc042 At the end of the output YaST2 is started automatically and until then the output is hard to read. It looks like a language selection dialog... When I start the Pandaboard with a HDMI connection to a TV I see two penguins and after a while a black screen. I can switch to text consoles with CTRL+Fx, but there is only a blinking cursor (underline symbol) at the upper left corner. Any help would be appreciated!

Is $arcNumber not set up correctly on your local NVRAM? Also, this still breaks after your first reboot, because the boot script gets regenerated on first boot. Furthermore, this change only gets 12.2 working for you, but still fails on Factory. We should certainly find out why it doesn't work for you and get a generic solution up and rolling, so that Factory works too :).

[opensuse-arm] mini packages offered for upgrade
by Cristian Rodríguez 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

Hi: Apparently there is a bug in the OBS configuration for openSUSE:Factory:ARM systemd-mini and udev-mini are being offered in the public repo and zypper wants to install them b/c is there are broken dependencies and/or the project is not in sync with openSUSE:Factory. Will be cool if someone with karma can fix it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] Build options for ARM?
by Guillaume Gardet 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

Hi, where could we find which options are passed to GCC? I mean -mcpu -mtune, -mfloat, etc. Currently, I think we are using the following for ARM v7, but I cannot find where it is defined: * thumb2 * VFPV3-d16 * tune: cortex-A9 Guillaume -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] Quick XFCE beagle image test (for 12.2)
by Guillaume Gardet 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

Hi, I just quickly tested the latest XFCE beagle image (12.2). Here, are my results: * YaST Firstboot is launched in gfx mode (very nice) * All seems working even if it is a bit slow (no bug) But: * resolution is fixed in 1024x768 * Icons from XFCE desktop are there at first boot but after a reboot, we lost them (same for background) * Plymouth does not show anything * omapdrm is included in kernel image, not as a module. It would be better to have it as a module and add it to initrd to keep gfx during boot. (If it is working like that). * sound still does not work, because the patch come after 3.4.6 push from git to OBS. Moreover, I get an error during the first boot about resizing: ************************************************************************ Current system partition is bigger than requested size. Disk won't be repartitionned. ************************************************************************ So, we should adjust the partition size in kiwi description for XFCE images.

[opensuse-arm] openSUSE 12.2 RC2 Release preparation
by Dirk Müller 26 Nov '12

26 Nov '12

Hi ARM :-), Hi Jos, Alex and I have worked yesterday a few hours to finish up the last remaining bugs for a 12.2 RC2 release. we plan that this is the last RC before final 12.2 for ARM, which is scheduled for November 6th. The changes over RC1 are: * various bugfixes in the imaging * add an update repository to the images for maintenance * adding various fixes for booting machines without RTC with a reasonable system time * Adding a YaST firstboot stage for configuring the country, language, root password and creating the first user login * various smaller fixes in packaging We have also enabled support for the following SoCs' * Calxeda Highbank * CuBox * IMX 53 * Samsung Origen In addition, we added XFCE images for panda and beagle board. We know that those still have some bugs that need to be fixed for the final release. the JeOS images are good though. We've personally tested some of the variations, but not all of them. We'd like to get more feedback about it. In addition to that, we've also worked on graphics support for a few of the boards, with varying results. The Raspberry Pi image is not part of this release, it will come at a later point in time as a separate announcement. The images are available for download from: http://download.opensuse.org/ports/armv7hl/distribution/12.2-RC2/ This link is not yet up, I'm still waiting for the build service team to sign and upload the images there. This link: http://download.opensuse.org/ports/armv7hl/distribution/openSUSE-stable/ will point to RC2 once it is available so we could use that one as well. I hope that we can do the announcement on sunday evening latest, but it might slip to monday I'm afraid :( Please work on the promo bits, and fire at will once the link above (with - RC2) is working. The rest of the announcement can be reused from the RC1 announcement that Andrew did. Thanks!
