I have a Raspberry PI 3 to which I am planning on moving a hardware interface. It is happily running openSUSE (aarch64 variant). I have mounted our source tree via NFS and can build a surprisingly large amount of things. I have even had no problems adding things I have built on OBS. Keeping it up-to-date with zypper is noce. As to I/O: I think it has lots of I/O. We are interested in both the SPI as well as basic pin I/O. Checking the ability to get decent I/O with a Linux kernel is our next task. We will be making a device driver that interfaces to a millimeter resolution wheel pulse counter that tracks vehicle movement. It is indeed a nice device. SUSE have even made a release of SUSE 12 SP2 that you can install and run for free. It is amazing what is included. On Fri, Jan 13, 2017 at 9:23 AM, Oliver Kurz <okurz@suse.de> wrote:

All,
Here is a quasi-ot post (except for the thought that opensuse_pi would be nice). I don't post about just cool linux often, but if you haven't checked out the raspberry pi, it is a full computer with the footprint of a credit-card. I set one up for fun, and it runs an almost complete version of debian Jessie (rasbian) that is complete with a default LXDE desktop, LibreOffice, Chromium, a full blown development suite gcc/java, gigabit ethernet, a gig or RAM, usb, audio/mic, hdmi output, etc...
It uses a SD card for storage, but beyond that, it could be a desktop/server replacement (albeit a bit slower than a gaming rig), it will happily run apache, bind, php, dhcp, etc..
Enough said. For the old-timers, it is a complete treat to work with a $35 computer ($50 with case, 2A power supply and SD card). Drawing less than 1A normally, you could get weeks of uptime from a UPS if you happened to lose power -- like forever.
I've seen some posts regarding ARM versions of suse in the past. It would be equally fun to have a suse_pi version to go along with debian, arch, ubuntu, etc.. (there may even be one I haven't stumbled upon yet)
Pretty cool...
I am not quite sure I get what you are asking for but if it is "please make openSUSE work on Raspberry Pi 3" I can tell: It works already: https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Raspberry_Pi3
Also SUSE Linux Enterprise does support the Raspberry Pi 3: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/suse-linux-enterprise-server-for-raspberry-...
