Hi,

I think we need ARM support for http://software.opensuse.org At least for couple best-supported boards.

I think it have been already requested some times ago.

I agree, but this introduces a couple of issues:

1. which boards? Do we have a definitive list of platforms supported by the single multi-platform kernel?

2. how to implement it? If we don't use just the multi-platform kernel powered device, things get tricky. Or are you just talking about having armv7l and aarch64 show up in the package search?

Unfortunately ARMv7 isn't the friendliest of platforms, this should hopefully be resolved with ARMv8. I'm hoping there will be some announcements in the not so distant future with regards to platforms (I have no insight here, just hoping considering the already public announcements by vendors).

I think we should be able to provide a single image for ARMv8 as it is done for x86 (using EFI?). For armv7, we have one image per board. So, maybe just add a link to Portal:ARM wiki page?

I would prefer just simple web interface:

1. select armv7
2. board selector appears instead of existing rectangles with mediums
3. user choose the board he has, and gets the link to JeOS
4. installation instructions appear below, where now we see "Need help?"

We need to choose something non-disappointing for the 'first' supported board (BeagleBoard XM?)

All boards have ups and downs. See tables on: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Supported_ARM_boards Most boards boot and have Ethernet and USB working but some have no video output. It is not a problem when you use it headless. But if you want to use it with a screen, it is a big problem. AFAIK, there is no fully working armv7 boards. Each board has some devices not working. :( At least, not tested.
