Just need to see the status of S912 SoC in the mainline kernel (at least in the openSUSE kernel).
At FOSDEM 2017 I showed openSUSE Tumbleweed running on S912, but with a mainline based kernel due to the TV box vendor's U-Boot not supporting UEFI or raw initrds or kernel Images with default text offset.
You can probably fix the initrd problem by tweaking the Vim2's U-Boot config, but you'd need to convert the openSUSE kernel Image to a uImage and boot as described on linux-meson.com.
So SUSE kernel should theoretically work, good news!
Or contribute to mainline U-Boot on S912 (S905 is in mainline, may need smaller patches for e.g. pinctrl). Then our standard boot flows would apply and we can attempt to build an official openSUSE image.[*]
Why not, I may try. Not sure if a can do it, but trying doesn't hurt :-) I also ordered I VIM1 board (S905x), so mainline U-Boot should work on it, and so openSUSE too, no? I will try also. I hope to have my boards just before my next trip to Nuremberg! Loic
Regards, Andreas
