[opensuse-arm] RaspberryPi3 and Aarch64

I notice there is an AARCH64 image for the RPI3. That seems pretty exciting to me. Does anyone know if it works and if not, why? I suppose there is no 64bit firmware. http://download.opensuse.org/ports/armv7hl/tumbleweed/images/openSUSE-Tumble... I will, of course, try it for myself to see what happens.

Let me know what happens. I am using the 32bit image right now, but for sure 64bit is more interesting. :) Bo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

The file above shouldn't exist really. Right now all work on aarch64 rpi3 bringup is happening in the rpi3 contrib project which currently served as my playground for bringup. It works to some extent, but don't expect miracles just yet. Also, it's 64bits from EL2 downwards.

Speaking of RPI3 and aarch64, will the following image work for RPI3? https://build.opensuse.org/package/binaries/openSUSE:Leap:42.1:Ports/JeOS-ef... Bo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

Why? its (supposed to be) the regular Tumbleweed image, which in theory after we sorted out the pending u-boot and raspberrypi-firmware image submissions and a forward port of the patches needed for kernel 4.6 should work just fine (in the sense of that it does something other than wasting disk space). the contrib project is a playgroudn with a downstream kernel and a lot of non-upstreamed changes and therefore is a different beast. As long as the image isn't linked from the wiki its existance doesn't hurt. what matters is which images we link from the wiki, not what is available somewhere in the build service.

Well, as you've explained above there's a good amount of work left that needs to be done before we can actually consider it a non-contrib kernel system.
the contrib project is a playgroudn with a downstream kernel and a lot of non-upstreamed changes and therefore is a different beast.
The contrib kernel is a playground with any kernel - it doesn't have to be downstream. A system lives in contrib until it got merged into normal tumbleweed. Rpi3 isn't there yet.
As long as the image isn't linked from the wiki its existance doesn't hurt. what matters is which images we link from the wiki, not what is available somewhere in the build service.
As you might've realized people have already stumbled over the image. I'd prefer not to have it built at all in the main image repo if we know it can't possibly work yet.
