Re: [ARMedslack] Hello and questions about getting Slackware on the Raspberry Pi

2012-06-21 Thread Davide
But tbh I'm not sure whether I want to support this device officially (in-tree) because the RPi doesn't support initrds which means potentially a big change to how I build the kernels and modules packages; In my experiments with ARMedSlack on a Seagate DockStar, I remember using a mkboot

[ARMedslack] Tegra kernel

AC100 uses tegra chipset. I wonder how much work would it take to add the other bits and pieces to the armedslack kegra kernel to make it usable on the AC100. Regards David ___ ARMedslack mailing list ARMedslack@lists.armedslack.org

Looking at teh config I think this would need to be enabled fro the AC100/dynabook AZ # CONFIG_MACH_PAZ00 is not set This looks like : http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/MACH_PAZ00.html Might also be necessary to enable some grafix hardware like: CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA And here are some other bits

Might also be necessary to enable some grafix hardware like: CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA This depends on CONFIG_PCI which isn't for Tegras. And here are some other bits and pieces that might be necessary: CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_TEGRA I've added this as a module to the initrd and the installer. Once I push

But are you using the serial console on your tegra device or an ordinary console ? Yes it uses serial. The graphics support isn't in the mainline kernel yet I don't think. Will the kernel you've build the screen on the AC100 ? Will the screen work, if that's what you're asking - no idea;

And here are some other bits and pieces that might be necessary: CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_TEGRA This one won't build as a module and I can't compile it into the kernel as I build the main MMC support as a module (which I'm not changing). Hopefully the kernel will build with AC100 support though so
