Project Description

Create openSUSE images (or test generic EFI images) for Arm and/or RISC-V boards that are not yet supported.

Goal for this Hackweek

Create bootable images of Tumbleweed for SBCs that currently have no images available or are untested.

Consider generic EFI images where possible, as some boards can hold a bootloader.

Document in the openSUSE Wiki how to flash and use the image for a given board.

Boards that I have around and there are no images:

  • Rock 3B
  • Nano PC T3 Plus
  • Lichee RV D1
  • StartFive VisionFive (has some image needs testing)

      FTR some boards have an onboard flash memory that can be used to store a bootloader such as u-boot or EDK2 which can then load a standard, universal EFI image. I think where possible this way of booting the board should be promoted over building board-specific images.

        Yes, I agree, but not all have SPI or other memory on board.
