questions for rtp
- what versions is supported: v5 and higher? (do other versions need different compiling?)
- what is the status of the basis system?
- can it run in qemu?
- can there be a flashable image?
- can we have a tiny howto install? (not chrooted)
- any idea what is needed to integrate with iurt?
- is there a mass arm-rebuild planned?
answers
- v5 and higher is supported, all should work with this, (except for drivers)
- if v5 is ready, v7hf might be targeted, since it would have considerable speed-improvement
- the easiest way is to use a chrooted setup
- flashable images is not doable, cause each device would need it's own image, we would need alot of people and devices
- however, some chips have enough available drivers (sometimes nonfree) to make it, but it has to be exactly right, or you'll have some problems and it is advised to have a dev cable, so that a monitor and serial connection can be done.
- Raspberri pi... this could be quite difficult, it would likely work with v7hf images, except when floating point instructions are executed, or v7 specific instructions, the v5 might work, if we can get all the nonfree drivers, but it would be very very slow.
- qemu is possible and rtp has mga1 build for it, however, if you have it working for qemu, it might still fail for real, because qemu isn't memory aligned, like all the ARM's need it.
- atm, rtp is building packages for arm, but he's waiting until some basic packages are fixed to be able to continue... kernel, etc... (so he's kind of stuck here)
- for the moment, we will need to wait until at least the basis is compiled
- in the mean time, keep in mind that IF you have upgraded dependency versions in i586 or x86_64, because it fails otherwise, make sure to add the version specifics to the spec file. this will make sure the ARM build can be alot faster...
