[opensuse-arm] RaspberryPI
Hello I tried to use the opensuse on a RasPi but all the images I found and put it on a SD card will not boot. I bought a 16GB card but will not. Raspian and kali-linux will boot. What should I do to get suse booting.

What are you seeing? Does it even start to boot? How are you writing the sdcard? I had trouble writing with dd, mainly because the computer doesn't have a card reader, and I was using a USB adapter. Finally had to use my wife's windows laptop with the reader, and the windows image writer. After that it worked.

A USB adapter has no influence whatsoever on writing a flash memory card with dd. If it doesn't work, you need to throw away your USB adapter.

You are right. After I had the problem, I discovered that it wasn't the adapter, but the sdcard I was trying to write to. Turns out I couldn't even format it so I used another and it worked fine.

You may be able to revive the card with the official SD card formatter. https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/ Unfortunately, no linux version. -----Original Message----- From: mike <mike@mikenjane.net> Date: Sat, 11 May 2013 22:07:05 To: <opensuse-arm@opensuse.org> Subject: Re: [opensuse-arm] RaspberryPI On Saturday, May 11, 2013 06:46:49 PM Volker Kuhlmann wrote:

Thank goodness for that! No vendor- or industry-interest-group-supplied advertising. Phew. The Linux version of said program is called dd. You use it to copy from /dev/zero to /dev/sdX, with sdX being the card's device name. This erases all memory on the card (ignoring the "protected area", which above mentioned squishware does likewise). After that, use mkfs with parameters of your choice. (Yes there is potential for bad choices to affect performance. The power to not do so is yours to use.) There are ways to use dd for rudimentory testing of flash card memory. In any case, faulty flash memory doesn't need to be revived, it needs to be stored in the refuse recepticles provided for such purposes. For boards like RPi and Cubie I personally wouldn't choose the cheapest and c**piest sd cards. TBH I can't think of any useful purpose for such cards.

Actually, I revived a card that I couldn't write to with that program. Otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it. I'm not sure why you would think I'm unaware of dd and variants. But for the particular card, the official sd software, though version 3, had some extra foo. -----Original Message----- From: Volker Kuhlmann <list0570@paradise.net.nz> Date: Sun, 12 May 2013 19:17:25 To: <opensuse-arm@opensuse.org> Subject: Re: [opensuse-arm] RaspberryPI On Sun 12 May 2013 16:36:58 NZST +1200, lists@lazygranch.com wrote:

Hmm, I can't imagine that a user-space program does some extra foo here. I'd rather suspect the hardware/software (card/reader/driver) combination is not fully supported by the Linux flavour you're using. In my case I bought fast Sony SDHC cards which were not support by the built-in SD card reader of my notebook and/or driver. So I had to buy a separate USB reader supporting SDHC. And yes, the Linux driver have to support it that too. Ciao, Michael.

I only see a black screen. No it don't start to boot. No LED is showing that somethings going on. I tried it with a new Kingston Class 10 32GB SD card. And with a new SanDisk 16gb Class 10 SD card. My Cardreader is ok. Is in my Laptop. Raspian, KaliLinux, BerryBoot will work. regards Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
