What do I need to do to install opensuse on a Raspberry Pi 5? Is there already in image in the build system? Bill

The needed (firmware) updates are on the way to Factory but not yet released. I will ping you once there is an image to test! Hopefully in few days. Cheers, Guillaume

U-Boot support is currently worked on. Unfortunately I don't have a board to test/develop myself. I backported the patches to our u-boot, but due to missing time I wasn't able to create a JeOS image include it (and the new RPi firmware package). Guillaume if you can help, that would be great: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:mbrugger:branches:RPi5 Best regards, Matthias

I'm happy to test as well. ;) Ciao, Alex~ -- Alexander Bergmann <abergmann@suse.com> Security Engineer, GPG: E30A 65A4 0F50 0066 B2B5 F614 DE54 E875 9FFA 4886 SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH Frankenstr. 146, 90461 Nuernberg, Germany Managing Director/Geschäftsführer: Ivo Totev, Andrew McDonald, Werner Knoblich (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg)
Hello everyone, is there any news about this yet? I tried to build an image with Matthias' u-boot package (https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:mbrugger:branches:RPi5) and the current firmeware fiels. https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:mmanu84:RPi5 So far I've only received the following output: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/4dc02ddc6ade https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/b6904bec63b4 https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/33ae57f1dff7 I still didn't get any output from the serial console.

I think those messages show the problem is in u-boot. Sadly the RPI folks don't use u-boot, so we can't look at their u-boot. The only thing we can look at is their kernel. They install patches for the 2712 chip, which seems to handle all the I/O and booting. I think u-boot basically borrows driver code from the kernel. I am trying to figure out how to grab the kernel patches and apply them to u-boot. That may not be at all the right path to take but I am hopefully learning a lot about u-boot, the kernel, git, patching and the 2712 chip. There are other distributions that run on RPIs that also use u-boot. I wonder if any of them are having any luck. It is amazing all this stuff gets done with volunteers. I will let you know if I learn anything useful. Bill On Thu, 2023-12-14 at 20:20 +0000, Manu Maier wrote:

Yep, U-Boot will need some more love. I am working on it. So far I have SDHCI driver for 2712 patched and I am able to boot Tumbleweed kernel up to some point... :-)
Have a lot of fun ... ;-) https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231218210341.30073-1-iivanov@suse.de/

Thanks! Could you push it to tumbleweed-2024.01 branch on https://github.com/openSUSE/u-boot please?

I can do that, but the question is, if we want to wait for a review first or push directly?
