New subject: [opensuse-arm] chrome

27 Mar 2013

      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!"

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.
