Yes, I'm well aware of that.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not going to replace my existing
install with a fresh one, and then reconfigure that to match the old
install; that would take me a couple of weeks. I'm upgrading this unit
to Beowulf as I type, and have chosen to go with the already built
firmware from the raspberrypi repository on github, which is what I've
done until now, and which seems to have what I need still. I may play
with the raspi-firmware package later, but that will be on a test
install. If I determine that route meets my need and is easier to
upgrade via apt-get dist-upgrade, I may switch to it in the
future. Thanks to everyone for your help. I consider the issue solved.

What is your kernel actual version?

In the SBC world, kernels are tailored to specific hardware..

Installing a generic kernel without having the correct Device tree  
Source, or Binary files,or even the needed kernel drivers, will  
probably render your system unusable..


I strongly advise you to not do that..


Instead use the Image for Beowulf, for RaspBerryPi 2:  
http://arm-files.devuan.org/devuan_beowulf_3.1.0_armhf_rpi2.img.xz


Its an updated image with last kernel and all functionality, including  
Raspberry PI Userland tools, which means drivers to interact with  
camera, videocore, and such..


Its well supported, and its a recent release: 04-Mar-2021

Best Regards,

tux

Devuan does have support for armel arch:

You can see the Image for RaspBerry Pi 1 here:    
http://arm-files.devuan.org/devuan_beowulf_3.0.0_armel_rpi1_0.4.img.xz


It already has all the necessary stuff in it, you don't need the rpi repos :)

So, I see there is a linux-image-4.19.0-16-armmp package, which just
provides the kernel in /boot. I also see there is a raspi-firmware
package, which seems to work with the kernel and initramfs-tools to provide
firmware in /boot/firmware. It looks like /boot should be in the root
file system, and /dev/mmcblk0p1 should now be mounted as
/boot/firmware, correct? Does installing linux-image-4.19.0-16-armmp
and raspi-firmware in Beowulf provide the necessary kernel and
firmware to boot a raspberry pi, or are there more packages I need?
For completeness, I'm upgrading to Beowulf on a raspberry pi 2b. Thanks.

For my regular Pi's i just have the following in my apt sources

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf main
deb-src http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf main
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf-security main

and this just works.

For my Pi 1's and Zero's i have to specify the armel architecture
because apparently Debian arm v6 does not exist.


Grtz.

I guess that would explain why it's not indexed in Beowulf. When I add
the above to my sources.list and apt-get update, I get:

W: Failed to fetch http://deb.devuan.org/merged/dists/ascii/InRelease
Unable to find expected entry 'raspi/binary-armhf/Packages' in Release
file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
 
Since this isn't a Beowulf package, I'm probably better off just
fetching the latest firmware from Raspberry Pi's github repo, or cross
compile my own from linux stable, since I seem to recall that the
Raspberry Pi code made it into the main kernel.org source tree a while
ago. Thanks to everyone for your help.

You don't say what the 'correct' package is that you wish to install.



Good point:

http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan/pool/raspi/l/linux-raspi/linux-image-raspi_4.20.4-3_armhf.deb

Greg




this package is ascii (not beowulf), so you probably need :

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii raspi

[DNG] adding raspi to sources.list

[Gregory Nowak via Dng]

Hi all.

I want to add:



to my sources.list. However, this seems to be a dangling directory
with no references to it in the package indexes. I've tried two forms
in sources.list:

deb http://deb.devuan.org/devuan pool/raspi/l/linux-raspi/

which returns:

W: Failed to fetch
http://deb.devuan.org/devuan/pool/raspi/l/linux-raspi/Packages  404
Not Found

and another form:

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf raspi

which returns:

W: Failed to fetch
http://deb.devuan.org/merged/dists/beowulf/InRelease  Unable
to find expected entry 'raspi/binary-armhf/Packages' in Release file
(Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

Both of these errors make sense, since this is a dangling directory
like I said.

Is there a way to do what I want, or do I need to download the correct
package manually, and install with dpkg -i? If what I want to do is
possible, then could someone please post the correct format for the
sources.list entry? Thanks.

Greg
