Hello, I have openSUSE running on the Hackberry, and it runs very well, even with KDE, although I have not succeded in getting the Mali drivers to work thus far. As a software eng., you might have better luck building those tha I have. It is mostly a question of building the SD card with the appropriate bootloader, boot instructions (script.bin, boot.scr) and linux-sunxi kernel with fb support (since, again, I can't get GPU drivers to build) and then adding the openSUSE rootfs. Happy to share what I have, but again it is only partly done...but fun. On Jun 9, 2013, at 6:10 PM, Lior Avital wrote:

Hello,

I just got an Allwinner A10 based Hackberry dev board.

Besides graduating as a software engineer, I have some experience with linux on x86 platforms, an I want to enter the ARM side of computing.

My questions are: 1. Is there a port of OpenSuse for Hackberry? If no, I'd like to start one. 2. What are your recommended resources for a newcomer?

Thank you,
