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).
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.
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).
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).
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.
Port openSUSE to Intel Galileo board (Quark X1000)
an idea by a_faerber
The Intel Quark X1000 SoC was said not to run the i586 version of openSUSE. An i486 or other variant of openSUSE would need to be built to run on the Galileo and Edison boards.
Bootstrap openSUSE for MIPS
a project by a_faerber
While in the past MIPS boards were either low-end PIC32 or found in routers running OpenWRT at most, Imagination themselves have recently released the Creator CI20 board (Ingenic, MIPS32) running Debian. And the Shield Pro (previously iGuardian) kickstarter project (Octeon-III, MIPS64) promises to become a playground for testing KVM hardware virtualization.
Bootstrap Maven in OBS
a project by a_faerber
Apache Maven is a build tool used by many Java projects, which is incompatible with OBS in that it tries to download binary dependencies from the Internet. Several people have in the past years tried to somehow bootstrap Maven and failed.
Investigate EtherCAT fieldbus
an idea by a_faerber
The Infineon XMC4800 EtherCAT Relax Kit microcontroller board has two EtherCAT RJ45 connectors.
Actions kernel mainlining: pinctrl
an invention by a_faerber
During my trip to and from SUSECon 2017 I had been working on a pinctrl driver for Actions Semi S500, based on a previous pinctrl driver of mine for Realtek RTD1295.
Package Robot OS (ROS) in OBS
an idea by a_faerber
A number of vendors are adopting ROS as a framework for developing complex robot control applications on Linux.
Finish packaging Angr in OBS
a project by a_faerber
Following a FOSDEM presentation on Angr for binary analysis, I started packaging it in OBS.
Investigate C-Sky architecture
an invention by a_faerber
The youngest architecture addition to the mainline Linux kernel was C-Sky (arch/csky/).
Mainline Sunplus Plus1 SP7021 kernel for Banana Pi F2S
a project by a_faerber
The recent Banana Pi BPI-F2S board features a new Arm SoC SP7021 by Sunplus, which is not yet supported in mainline Linux.

Explore Microchip PIC64GX1000 Curiosity board (riscv64)
an invention by a_faerber
Description
The Microchip PIC64 family of RISC-V chipsets was announced this summer, with PIC64GX as first subfamily (with SiFive U54 CPU cores, same as Microchip PolarFire). Later families (PIC64-HPSC and PIC64HX) were announced to feature the long-awaited RISC-V Hypervisor Extension.
Investigate Milk-V Jupiter board (riscv64)
an invention by a_faerber
Description
On Monday of Hackweek 24 we received two Milk-V Jupiter mini-ITX boards (JUPITER_V1.1) via the RISC-V International devboards program. The Jupiter board uses a Spacemit M1 System-on-Chip (SoC).
Investigate non-booting Forlinx OKMX8MX-C board (aarch64)
an invention by a_faerber
Description
In the context of a SUSE customer inquiry last year, a Forlinx OKMX8MX-C arm64 board had been relayed to me from China that a customer was not successful booting SUSE Linux Micro on. Typically this happens when the vendor's bootloader (e.g., U-Boot) is not configured properly (e.g., U-Boot's distro boot) to be compliant with Arm SystemReady Devicetree (formerly IR) band. Unfortunately I could not immediately get it to emit any output, to even diagnose why it wasn't working. There was no public documentation on the vendor's website to even confirm I was checking the right UARTs.
Looking for projects around:
