Projects in the topic arm

openSUSE lacks useable cross-compilers to glibc systems. This is the attempt to provide those, most important a cross-compiler for arm/aarch64.

Building on top of Rouslan Dimitrov's Microcontroller Class D Amplifier, I developed the idea to feed the power amplifier with PCM data directly. Rouslan does some dithering and noise shaping, but I'm convinced that proper interpolation would sound better. The ATtiny is too slow to do even cubic interpolation so I'll move that into the host.

Look once again on Xperia Tablet Z and try to have there openSUSE running natively as alternative operating system.

openSUSE 13.2 is taking shape on ARM, but we need to make sure we smoothen its edges to make an actual release out of it. The goal of this project is to make sure all devices we should run on actually work and that the last few packages necessary for productive use of ARM devices work properly on 13.2.

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.

The Inforce Computing IFC6540 is an SBC with Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 SoC (32-bit ARMv7).

The Nvidia Jetson TK1 is an SBC with Nvidia Tegra K1 SoC (quad-core Cortex-A15, 32-bit ARMv7).

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).

Today OpenQA mostly runs on virtual machines, but it can get really tricky to find bugs triggered by real hardware. There are only few interfaces required to interact with a machine though:

Some customers are still stuck in a world of 32bit. On ARM64, we have two options for those poor folks:

ARM64 is become more popular on different markets, but obviously lots of pepople didn't have the hardware platform, and fastmodel is helpful for people to play with ARM64 environment, furthermore, we can run different software platform on it, such as Cloud, HA, Virt and OpenStack.

Create a USB device that, when configured and connected, exposes one or more Ceph RBD images for use as USB storage, allowing for:

Tronsmart has a Rockchip rk3368 based set-top-box [1].

We had old arndale images working, but those were based on openSUSE-12.x which is now long obsolete and bad (e.g. missing security updates).

To make OpenQA work with real ARM devices, we need to control

Hikey is a development board with HiSilicon Kirin 620 eight-core ARM Cortex-A53 64-bit SoC. The original firmware is based on Tianocore EDK II, and I'd like to port coreboot to this board.

Firebird Emu is a third-party multi-platform emulator of the ARM-based TI-Nspire™ calculators.

OpenPGP Card is an ISO/IEC 7816-4 compatible smartcard that is integrated with many OpenPGP functions, including signature, encryption, and authentication. It provides an trustful computing environment isolated from the host computer, to guard one's private keys from attacks and exposures. ZetiControl in Germany is the first manufacturer of OpenPGP Card based on BasicCard platform. Since then, compatible USB tokens have also been manufactured, such as Yubikey and Nitrokey.

Banana-pi R2 has quite a good upstream support in the kernel, but lacks a u-boot support.

The Gameshell is a small game console based on AllWinner R16 (Cortex-A7, IIRC the same CPU that the RPi2). Currently is supporting Debian, and some community member ported ArchLinux on it.
