[opensuse-arm] Kernel for Gooseberry (Allwinner)
Looks like somebody got Ubuntu working on the Gooseberry. Details and an apparently working image are here: https://www.miniand.com/forums/forums/2/topics/82 I'm currently downloading the image. The kernel is available here: http://dl.miniand.com/toby_corkindale/kernel_3.0.36_hf.tar.gz So I guess I could try to use an openSUSE rootfs with that for starters.

That certainly sounds interesting. Up to now I've only soldered a UART connection and looked at what happens on boot. I tried using various images from http://linux-sunxi.org/Main_Page (going on the assumption that the Gooseberry is, in fact the LY-F1 A721 (http://linux-sunxi.org/Gooseberry). U-Boot manages to start the kernel from the SD-Card but it quickly panics or goes into a crazy reboot loop. I'm documenting my attempts here: http://is.gd/jw4uWV (Google Docs) From your Hackweek project page I could only discern that you have got something working. Which image did you use - or did you compile your own kernel? Which rootfs? If possible, I'd like to document it somewhere (the wiki is probably the right place). Ciaran

I'm documenting my attempts here: http://is.gd/jw4uWV (Google Docs) I encounter some crash which is caused by the following reason 1), arm overclock. from internet, it is said that it is stable under 1.2G. I fix my arm to 1GHz. 2), kernel configuration. (1), framebuffer console is not work for A10. enable fbcon will lead to crash. (2), display driver must compile into kernel if you get the kernel from git hub. 3), unknown reason. besides those, I got some kernel crash while boot opensuse. But boot android is always ok. I guess it because the different memory parameter or voltage for dcdc.

Hi, Ciaran this is a dummy product.
