Hi,
I would like to make a wiki page about AArch64 (armv8) to list all things we must do for AArch64 in openSUSE.
A page name like openSUSE:AArch64 looks good to me. Any objection?
I have already some informations about AArch64 build but nothing on what is needed to get things in openSUSE (understand in OBS). I mean, what is needed to be able to start building AArch64 packages?
I guess we must have a minimal rootfs with some tools? Or maybe just cross-compile?
I already tested my own rootfs (built with the buildroot tool).
I used : * a bootimg: http://releases.linaro.org/12.12/openembedded/aarch64/img-foundation.axf * u-boot: http://fedorapeople.org/~ahs3/u-boot.bin * Foundation_v8 (sort of qemu but seems to not be redistribuable) * A custom rootfs (I built using buildroot. See: buildroot.net)
Hi Guillaume, I'm surprised that you've used u-boot here - the normal Foundation Model and kernel from Linaro don't (currently) have any boot loaders, so you're expected to use the boot wrapper instead. Are you sure you actually used u-boot? In the longer term, AArch64 is expected to use UEFI for boot.
