As an average user I need both USB and HDMI. Regards Sid. On 25/08/14 19:42, Andreas Färber wrote:

Hi Sean et al.,
Yesterday I finally received my Parallella board and last night managed to get Factory working on it. I roughly summarized my steps here:
http://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Parallella
- U-Boot is already on flash
- FAT partition with uImage, devicetree.dtb, parallella.bit.bin
- rootfs as usual
I'm hoping to get upstream kernel working, be it without HDMI, so holding off packaging their kernel. If someone else wants to, go ahead. Nice, would be great to have JeOS-parallella
I totally agree. Guys, then get your hands dirty and package it yourself! :)
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/devel:ARM:Factory:Contrib:Zynq already exists. And you can always branch JeOS into your home: project.
kernel-ifc6410 made me finally give up packaging downstream kernels; I will rather put my energy into enhancing the upstream kernel, which we then get via Kernel:HEAD -> Kernel:stable -> Factory[:ARM]. I've spent too much time fixing build warnings/errors of BSP kernels only to find that the resulting binary in the package gives no serial console output or __logbuf info at all, or it fails to properly install through zypper with weird unresolved dependencies. :/
With v3.17-rc1, in the next days we'll have a kernel-default that supports UART console and Ethernet, but no USB or HDMI yet. Not sure if that's what the average user of a JeOS-parallella image expects?
Packaging the two bitstream files is a trivial first step that's needed either way. Probably we should dig out the respective source files and package those alongside then. Anyone?
Regards, Andreas
