Hi, This arm based NAS kit is interesting. https://kobol.io/helios4/ What would be the level of difficulty to have openSUSE (pref. Leap) available for it ? thanks Paul -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

Next step would be to check if there is support in mainline u-boot of the board and if not, enable it. Another option would be to create a contrib project with the BSP u-boot, but it should have support for EFI and distro boot. There might be some work needed here. With that you should be able to get support for openSUSE Tumbleweed. To get support for openSUSE Leap, you would need to create a feature request in fate.opensuse.org against "openSUSE Distribution" (I suppose), best with the upstream commit Id's you will need to get the kernel working. You can see, it's a rather long process, but hey, would be great to see you on board pushing this forward!

No work, all is here: board support _with_ EFI: http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=blob;f=configs/helios4_defconfig Sounds good for this board. :) Guillaume

Thanks Guillaume and Matthias. It looks very promising. I am going to order a kit for myself and I will give it a try to build and test openSUSE for that board. If it works nicely and as I intend to replace my current NAS with it, I'll be interested to maintain an image for it. rgds Paul On Thu, Jul 26, 2018 at 11:39 AM, Guillaume Gardet <guillaume.gardet@free.fr> wrote:
