Do you have a good source (link) for how to build a distribution for arm? What I would do is just start by building one for the Beagleboard, i.e. known hardware, so as to get my feet wet. I'm trying to walk the line between being a nuisance and being useful. ;-) I'm not sure if anyone has stopped and meditated on the nature of linux and these SBCs versus running linux on a desktop or notebook. For the desktop or notebook, you get it going and don't mess with something that is working. But for these SBCs, a new OS is a cheap SDHC card away. You can actually "have a lot of fun!" ------Original Message------ From: Alexander Graf To: gary Cc: opensuse-arm@opensuse.org Subject: Re: [opensuse-arm] chrome Sent: Mar 26, 2013 5:49 PM On 27.03.2013, at 01:35, gary wrote:
Now I understand the Mirabox post. Basically the poster took the package (perhaps not the right word) for arm7, but used a different boot loader, presumably whatever the Mirabox requires.
Does that mean it is possible to run opensuse on this board?

Yes, if you have a working kernel and u-boot for it, it's a matter of throwing our rootfs onto it. It's also fairly similar to the Origen board. So maybe you could even create a working SD card image for the Odroid-X2 based on that one. Please bear in mind that exynos4 support is in abysmal state upstream. I haven't managed to get any recent kernels working at all. Alex

All hardware that we support with images is good hardware to recommend, because you will have images that "just work", so it depends mainly on the computing power that you're looking for and the amount of money you want to spend: Beagleboard, Pandaboard, Efikamx (not recently tested), cubox, arndaleboard, chromebook (the samsung series 9).
