I think those messages show the problem is in u-boot. Sadly the RPI folks don't use u-boot, so we can't look at their u-boot. The only thing we can look at is their kernel. They install patches for the 2712 chip, which seems to handle all the I/O and booting. I think u-boot basically borrows driver code from the kernel. I am trying to figure out how to grab the kernel patches and apply them to u-boot. That may not be at all the right path to take but I am hopefully learning a lot about u-boot, the kernel, git, patching and the 2712 chip. There are other distributions that run on RPIs that also use u-boot. I wonder if any of them are having any luck. It is amazing all this stuff gets done with volunteers. I will let you know if I learn anything useful. Bill On Thu, 2023-12-14 at 20:20 +0000, Manu Maier wrote:
Hello everyone,
is there any news about this yet?
I tried to build an image with Matthias' u-boot package (https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:mbrugger:branches:RPi5) and the current firmeware fiels.
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:mmanu84:RPi5
So far I've only received the following output: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/4dc02ddc6ade https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/b6904bec63b4 https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/33ae57f1dff7
I still didn't get any output from the serial console.
Greeting Manu

What do I need to do to install opensuse on a Raspberry Pi 5? Is there already in image in the build system?
The needed (firmware) updates are on the way to Factory but not yet released. I will ping you once there is an image to test! Hopefully in few days.
Cheers, Guillaume
