[opensuse-arm] openSUSE on RaspberryPi
Hi, A quick search on the list haven't returned anything recent, so just to check: does someone has an image for the RaspberryPi laying around, which I could test on my shiny new board? I'm aware that the project currently focuses on different platform version, but maybe some people have been doing some pioneering already :-) I also understand that it is important to have focus, but given the huge interest and growing availability of the RaspberryPi, this little device has a *lot* of potential. So I'd think that there is/will be demand for (maybe a stripped down?) openSUSE version for it.

There are some people pioneering away, but nothing yet. Things are moving ahead slowly but you will either have to be patient or help the pioneers ;-)

There is indeed lots of interest, but as it uses what is classed as an old architecture there isn't a huge amount of future in it. This is not to say it will not happen again, but as far as focus goes we are indeed looking forward rather behind.

Didn't Bernhard just announce on #opensuse-arm having an image in his home project? Cc'ing.

It is the most reasonable - means cheap - platform, isn't it? This is something people just play with because they just can afford it for fun. Looking back, Linux covered a lot of old HW, which was often used by the programmers because money does matter. I'm two-hearted, for commercial future it seems a bit less performing platform, but for community use it looks like a real nice thing. greetings Kai Dupke Senior Product Manager Server Product Line -- Phone: +49-(0)5102-9310828 Mail: kai.dupke@suse.com Mobile: +49-(0)173-5876766 WWW: www.suse.com SUSE Linux Products GmbH - Maxfeldstr. 5 - 90409 Nuernberg (Germany) GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nurnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

Either way... I don't mind being patient nor helping out within my quite limited programming/packaging experience. Who are the pioneers and what is there that is in need of pioneering? :-)

That remains to be seen. Arduino isn't new either, yet I don't think it is being abandoned. In fact I'd dare to say that the popularity of both is driven by their low costs, the fact that they are known and have momentum, rather than their computing power or modernity. As someone who tried the Arduino I think the RaspberryPi could be easily used instead of it for many more advanced hobby projects, simply because there is a well-known OS available for it.
This is not to say it will not happen again, but as far as focus goes we are indeed looking forward rather behind.
I agree, however in the case of the RaspberryPi I think it is the exception that strengthens the rule ;-) It is unlikely that the Pi will be on the bleeding edge of desktop or related use-cases. But, there are plenty of other cases (e.g.: multimedia, robotics, home automation and other embedded stuff) where a specialized edition of a generic OS could be of big help. Hence there is probably no need to release a complete openSUSE for the Pi with Gnome/KDE etc. And besides, it would also be a great popularity booster for openSUSE.

Sorry for replying late here. I don't think anyone even remotely disagrees. We are currently only a limited amount of people, and getting only a single architecture with only a very limited amount of boards up and rolling is already challenging. So we had to take some cuts on what we're looking at here and there. That doesn't mean we don't want armv5, just that it won't be Dirk, Adrian or me spending too much time to get it working :). So yes, pull up your sleeves, dive into the code and get dirty :). We more than welcome any contributor who gets the armv5 port working great for the Raspberry PI. The last big build blocker that I was aware of was boost, but I'm not sure what the current state is there. Bernhard, do you have an armv5 todo list? It sounds as if there are some volunteers who want to help make the armv5 port fly :) Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

If we want to make this better, we need to: 1. make a propwer raspberry kernel package in OBS instead of reusing debian's kernel.
2. find/solve the illegal instruction problem in latest zypper http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-arm/2012-07/msg00087.html
3. make a generic armv5 kiwi image build https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor?arch_armv5el=1&defaults=0&project=openSUSE%3AFactory%3AARM&repo_images_armv5=1&unresolvable=1

Hi Ciaran , I've fixed yast* build issues now on armv5, hopefully this will cause the problem you face here to disappear. Thanks, Dirk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

I have something working based on linux-3.1 https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/130672 I tried porting patches to something more current, but did not get beyond linux-3.3 so far, because of "sched_clock" changes.
2. find/solve the illegal instruction problem in latest zypper http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-arm/2012-07/msg00087.html
Dirk did fix that. thanks.
3. make a generic armv5 kiwi image build https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor?arch_armv5el=1&defaults=0&project=openSUSE%3AFactory%3AARM&repo_images_armv5=1&unresolvable=1
This
should build once openmpi, boost and libsolv-tools build and also libjpeg, libmng, qt4, qt3 needed for pinentry (or we drop that) Might take another week or two. Would be good to not have so many full rebuilds. Especially if it is only because packages are older than 3 months.
4. make a special pi kiwi image that includes bootloader+kernel
Still to be done. This will need https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=raspberrypi-firmware&project=home%3Abmwiedemann%3Araspberrypi and kernel-raspberrypi Where is the best place for this? made a new image: http://zq1.de/~bernhard/linux/opensuse/raspberrypi-opensuse-20120812.img.gz now with proper kernel and firmware rpms disabled overscan via /boot/config.txt, so that there is no black border on my HDMI 1920x1080 display anymore used the start.elf for 224MB free RAM also added rsync and X11+icewm on fbdev - just use startx on the downside it is now 40MB larger.

For kernel and Kiwi image, openSUSE:Factory:ARM:RaspberryPi? The firmware should probably find its way into real Factory.

I made a new version of my basic Raspberry-Pi image: http://www.zq1.de/~bernhard/linux/opensuse/raspberrypi-opensuse-20120807.img... It now contains a current bootcode.bin from github and current Factory packages. except libopenssl, which is locked to an older version, because of https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=774710 I branched an older working version into https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=openssl&project=home%3Abmwiedemann%3Abranches%3AopenSUSE%3AFactory%3AARM and some day it might build... On this basis I even got X11 with icewm running (on fbdev). glxgears shows 11 fps which is to be expected with software-rendering on a slow CPU Ciao Bernhard M. -- happy hacking -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
