Hi,
Well, I have some general idea what is kiwi good for,
It's an image builder not more and it can build the system for your arm box. So far it can easily build a self expandable oem disk image for the panda and efika boards. Speaking in terms of commands it would look like this: kiwi --build suse-SLE12-JeOS -d /tmp/myimage --type oem dd if=/tmp/mytest/LimeJeOS-SLE12.armv7l-1.12.1.raw of=/dev/<flash-disk> plug in <flash-disk> on panda board and boot * on first boot it resizes the ptable and filesystems to the real size of the flash. * a JeOS means Just enough Operating System so you get a small console based os and can install additional software as you like. The default openSUSE Factory::ARM repo is added there
I can speak a little bit about that (will read something up), anything you thing would be good to stress regarding the ARM? I'm open to any suggestions.
I think especially for arm it's nice to have images at hand you can just dump on the storage device like Ubuntu and others already do these days. with kiwi it's easy for the people to create those images themselves according to their needs. I think that makes it a nice tool for arm boxes Regards, Marcus -- Public Key available gpg --keyserver gpg-keyserver.de --recv-keys 0xCCE3C6A2 ------------------------------------------------------- Marcus Schäfer (Res. & Dev.)
