[opensuse-arm] Old ARM boards status
Hi, I updated HCL pages on the wiki for ARM devices by removing links to images which are unavailable (12.x, 13.x, etc.) and by adding TW and 42.3 links when images are available. Two boards seem to be not supported anymore: * Efika MX : OBS 12.3 contrib project is now empty and there is no upstream support. * Highbank : OBS 12.3 contrib project is now empty. There is only u-boot-highbank package in hardware:boot. Should we remove those 2 wiki pages, or at least write that those boards are no more supported? If those boards are still supported, please tell me. Guillaume -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

Please don't remove HCL Wiki pages for existing hardware.
If those boards are still supported, please tell me.
"Supported" is a very strong word - let's say there is a low number of Highbank machines still out there; Efika devices, too. Other than that I don't know the status - I heard attempts to get Efika into mainline U-Boot and Linux kernel stalled...

By "supported" I mean: openSUSE provides an image for this board. Highbank seems to be supported by upstream kernel (there is at least a DTS file) and we have already the u-boot-highbank package. So, we should be able to provide a working Tumbleweed image for Highbank. Efika is not upstream at all. For the kernel I guess that only a DTS would be enough, Kernel DTS patch from 2012: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1288421/ U-Boot dropped the support in 2015: http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commitdiff;h=b6073fd2115ec3418cead26ce8ac...
