http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=6132&start=25 There are some howtos and notes on that thread - although it's unofficial. Jawkins will receive his RPi soon so we (or I) might have a look at doing something official, since he won't use his RPi anyway ;-) But tbh I'm not sure whether I want to support this device officially (in-tree) because the RPi doesn't support initrds which means potentially a big change to how I build the kernels and modules packages; it needs a pre-made image rather than being setup via the installer (as the installer is an initrd, albeit a large one). I have briefly pondered a script to RPI-ify the 'miniroot', and include some instructions. I'm not sure how I'd handle the kernels yet - but if support isn't in the vanilla kernel, I'd most likely keep the RPi out of tree until it's supported without requiring patches. _______________________________________________ ARMedslack mailing list ARMedslack@lists.armedslack.org http://lists.armedslack.org/mailman/listinfo/armedslack
