The USB controller (Via Labs 805 XHCI) on the RPi4 sits behind a PCIe bus which has no drivers at the moment in u-boot. After implementing it, we'll also have to make sure the USB HID is correctly connected with UEFI routines.

The project aims to port openSUSE to the ROCKPro64.

transactional-update, the application to update read-only systems such as openSUSE MicroOS and openSUSE Kubic and the Transactional Server installations of openSUSE Leap, openSUSE Tumbleweed and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, evolved from a POC to a fully fledged solution - and is currently completely written in Bash. This has been working really well in the past, but is gradually reaching its limits, especially when thinking about supporting additional file systems or ports to other Linux distributions - yes, we have a huge interest in other distributions adopting our technology.

I would like to learn Elixir, I plan to do some tutorial and look into books. I if I have time also start with Phoenix the framework for Elixir

There seems to be an overall consensus that the ioctl interface used by ethtool is a poor design as it's inflexible, error prone and notoriously hard to extend. It should clearly be replaced by netlink and obsoleted. Unfortunately not much actual work has been done in that direction until this project started.

To ease debugging cgroup relates issues this suggests to:

Whether it's building a newer, upstream UBoot, EDK II, or merely a SLE based rootfs, I want to make this platform a realistic possibility for desktop, digital signage, labs, etc.

Provisioning works with Autoyast/Cobbler for traditional clients, with profiles to enable major version upgrades. The goal is to offer that in a predictable way that can be scheduled and automated for salt minions.

The idea here is to study and understand how ephemeral storage for containers works and investigate if local storage could be avoided at all and Ceph used instead. Could new storage driver be developed to support Ceph storage:
