[opensuse-arm] Buiding Libreoffice 5.0

2015-07-14 Thread Bill Merriam
I have for many months been trying to build Libreoffice on ARM with no success. There is a working build of it on Debian so it must be possible. I suspect the first thing they did is remove a whole bunch of obscure options that are hardly every used. This would remove pre-requisite packages and

I notice there is an AARCH64 image for the RPI3. That seems pretty exciting to me. Does anyone know if it works and if not, why? I suppose there is no 64bit firmware.

[opensuse-arm] A couple of u-boot links

I recently ran across an explanation, which I think is now somewhat dated, on how booting works on Raspberry Pi. I thought others might find it interesting. http://dius.com.au/2015/08/19/raspberry-pi-uboot/ I think there are efforts underway to get opensuse running on the new pine64 boards. I

[opensuse-arm] SLES on RPi3

2016-11-23 Thread Bill Merriam
It appears SUSE gave out free RPi3's with cool custom cases at SUSEcon. They had SLES installed on them. I wasn't there so I missed out on the cool case but it turns out you can still get a copy of SLES with a 365 day license and 60 days of patches.

The current RPI4 beta firmware can boot from a USB attached disk. It does, in fact, boot Raspbian from a USB disk. The boot process for openSUSE is different from Raspbian, involving u-boot and such. Has anybody figured out how to boot openSUSE from a USB attached disk on a RPI4 with the
