hi, cubieboard is Allwinner A10 based board, including 1GHz Cortex-A8 and Mali-400 GPU. i am trying to build a kiwi image for Allwinner A10. i have already run opensuse 12.3 successful on kernel 3.0. the kernel and uboot is build on obs: home:bjzhang:devel:ARM:12.3:Contrib:sun4i/kernel-sun4i home:bjzhang:devel:ARM:12.3:Contrib:sun4i/uboot-sun4i i reference "openSUSE for ARM on your device" slide and modify Image.kiwi.in then generate kiwi through "sh pre_checkin.sh". but i got lots of problems. i do not use kiwi before this, sorry for the noise: 1, when will uboot-setup.tgz used? it seems that it only used when kernel update on opensuse arm? So, i could just ignore it when build image at the beginning? 2, Jeos-cubieboard build successful, but xz image seems empty and tar.bz2 is generated. i could only see xz package on http://download.opensuse.org/ports/armv7hl/distribution/12.3/images/ except XFCE-rootfs. do i miss something important in Jeos-cubieboard.kiwi? 3, build image on server is very slow, i want to build locally, but i failed on both x86_64 and arm. 1), if i build on x64_64 on opensuse 12.3: XFCE-cubieboard> osc build XFCE-cubieboard.kiwi images armv7l --clean Building armv7l for XFCE-cubieboard.kiwi/images Unknown build type: ''. Build description should end in .spec, .dsc or .kiwi. 2), if i build on arm on opensuse12.2, lots of package not found, e.g. gawk, patch. 4, i could not find my package on https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Abjzhang%3Adevel%3AARM..., but i could search and access the package on obs, why? 5, some name of my packages is not correct, but i do not know how to rename it, e.g. it had better rename uboot-sun4i to u-boot-sun4i and rename Jeos-cubieboard to JeOS-cubieboard. beside, i could not find firefox on my opensuse arm 12.3, do i missing something? thanks in advance.

2013/4/11 Bamvor Jian Zhang : Hi,

...

i am trying to build a kiwi image for Allwinner A10. i have already run opensuse 12.3 successful on kernel 3.0. the kernel and uboot is build on obs: home:bjzhang:devel:ARM:12.3:Contrib:sun4i/kernel-sun4i home:bjzhang:devel:ARM:12.3:Contrib:sun4i/uboot-sun4i

Awesome! Note that I'm just trying to get a similar thing done in devel:ARM:12.3:Contrib:sunxi

...

i reference "openSUSE for ARM on your device" slide and modify Image.kiwi.in then generate kiwi through "sh pre_checkin.sh". but i got lots of problems. i do not use kiwi before this, sorry for the noise:

1, when will uboot-setup.tgz used?

it will be unpacked after all rpms are installed and before the image is being tar'ed/assembled up.

...

it seems that it only used when kernel update on opensuse arm? So, i could just ignore it when build image at the beginning?

Yes.

...

2, Jeos-cubieboard build successful, but xz image seems empty and tar.bz2 is generated. i could only see xz package on http://download.opensuse.org/ports/armv7hl/distribution/12.3/images/ except XFCE-rootfs. do i miss something important in Jeos-cubieboard.kiwi?

I'll have a look. the main difference is the type=oemboot.

...

3, build image on server is very slow, i want to build locally, but i failed on both x86_64 and arm. 1), if i build on x64_64 on opensuse 12.3: XFCE-cubieboard> osc build XFCE-cubieboard.kiwi images armv7l --clean Building armv7l for XFCE-cubieboard.kiwi/images Unknown build type: ''. Build description should end in .spec, .dsc or .kiwi.

the order is "build description last", e.g. osc build images armv7l XFCE-cubieboard.kiwi we don't have qemu wrapping setup up for images/ build yet, so you need to do that on real armv7l hardware. I can try looking into a qemu wrapper setup instead.

...

5, some name of my packages is not correct, but i do not know how to rename it, e.g. it had better rename uboot-sun4i to u-boot-sun4i and rename Jeos-cubieboard to JeOS-cubieboard.

there is no rename/move implemented in OBS, instead it is osc copypac and delete afterwards.

...

beside, i could not find firefox on my opensuse arm 12.3, do i missing something?

No, we have not built firefox in time. I hope that it will be provided via a maintenance update later. Greetings, Dirk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

I found that i missing "conv=notrunc" in uboot-image-install, maybe it will truncate the raw image, so my raw image is very small. i fixed it and rebuild it.
