openSUSE for Firefly-RK3288

a project by a_faerber

The Firefly-RK3288 is the first SBC with the Rockchip RK3288 SoC, the first available chip with Cortex-A17 cores (32-bit ARMv7). I received such a board just in time for Hackweek Interstellar and will be looking into booting an upstream kernel with openSUSE 13.2/Factory rootfs.

openSUSE for IFC6540

a project by a_faerber

The Inforce Computing IFC6540 is an SBC with Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 SoC (32-bit ARMv7). I had previously brought up openSUSE on the IFC6410. A week before Hackweek Interstellar I got the IFC6540 to boot on serial console using the upstream-based Linaro integration branch, up to searching for the rootfs. Since USB and SATA support were still missing, my goal will be to prepare a MicroSD based rootfs to complete the bringup.

KVM for Nvidia Jetson TK1

a project by a_faerber

The Nvidia Jetson TK1 is an SBC with Nvidia Tegra K1 SoC (quad-core Cortex-A15, 32-bit ARMv7). I have openSUSE running on the Jetson TK1, but KVM is currently not usable as the CPUs are not booted in HYP mode. Thierry Reding of Nvidia has some work-in-progress for U-Boot and upstream kernel that I would like to test.

make FF use ntlm_auth for NTLMv2

a project by jmcdough

Firefox dropped its built-in ntlm auth as it only handled ntlmv1 (insecure). On windows it uses SSPI to handle the ntlm cases, and on other platforms it simply does not support NTLM at all (and then only v1) without a manual flag change. Let's get it recognizing /usr/bin/ntlm_auth as the system tool for doing this.

Parallella: Epiphany packaging for openSUSE

an invention by a_faerber

The Parallella is an SBC with Xilinx Zynq SoC and 16-core Epiphany-III co-processor. I had contributed a device tree for the Parallella to v3.17 (with a network/clock issue just reported by Olof Johansson to be investigated).

Bring up Linux on Optimus Board (Allwinner A80)

a project by a_faerber

The Allwinner Tech Optimus Board by Merrii is the evaluation board for the Allwinner A80 SoC with big.LITTLE Cortex-A15/-A7 configuration (32-bit ARMv7). The sources leaked from Allwinner contain GPL violations in U-Boot and Linux kernel and therefore won't easily build with openSUSE's armhf gcc (binaries seem to be softfp).

Experiment with no-mmu Linux (STM32F429I-DISCO)

an invention by a_faerber

A broad range of ARMv7-A boards have been enabled in openSUSE already. I would like to complement my experiences by bringing up Linux on an ARMv7-M board, the STM32F429I discovery board, featuring a Cortex-M4 and 8 MB SDRAM. As first step I would build and deploy an image based on instructions from the Internet, using downstream U-Boot and kernel and known-working binary arm-uclinuxeabi compiler toolchain. As preparation I have already packaged the genromfs tool.

kGraft: allow to handle more patches in parallel

a project by pmladek

Current kGraft implementation allows to apply new patch only when the previous one is applied to the whole system. Every task is handled separately and it needs to wait for a safe place to switch. It might take a while, especially when the task is sleeping. Therefore it would be great to allow to apply more patches in parallel. It is not trivial because different tasks might be in different world, so the slow stub has to be clever and choose the right one without taking any lock...

Make systemd-nspawnd usable for support purposes.

Report from the research mailing list: some colleagues and myself had a small SLES 12 troubleshooting workshop today. We were playing around with the rescue system. There is this magic tool called "systemd-nspawn" that is
