openSUSE on your board

Moved to openSUSE:openSUSE_on_your_ARM_board

Some ideas

It would be nice to:

  • Have a bootsplash (with openSUSE) in u-boot
  • Replace x-loader by u-boot SPL for MLO since x-loader is deprecated (for beagleboards and pandaboards). IF u-boot SPL is working fine. It seems there are some problems with SPL for the first revisions of boards/SoC.
  • Add support to Device Tree (DT) kernels (u-boot needs to give some special parameters to the kernel)
  • Have some non-JeOS images : Desktop with Xfce, LXDE, E17, JWM or IceWM or something else which is light) (and server in text mode?)
  • Improve kernel configs and maybe have a system to follow and update ARM configs (common/specific options) (a (wiki) table, a spreadsheet, or something else which is easily editable and easy to use). Maybe some tools already exist?
  • Have some pages on the wiki which tell users how to use openSUSE images for their ARM board.
  • Have some pages on the wiki which tell users (and developpers) what is the support level of a given board (USB OK, Ethernet KO, etc.).
  • Add support to Raspberry Pi even if it is an ARMv6. (kernel + raw image)
