Hi all, My Raspberry Pi Model B, on order since April, arrived yesterday. After a few hours of work I have it running BuC 5.x very nicely. Only a Proof of Concept at this stage, but it shows that it can be done. Screen, keyboard and network are all working OK and LRP package loading and saving is the same as for any other platform.
We have some challenges to overcome: - Many of the BCM2708 drivers are not yet in the mainstream kernel source tree. I got the 3.2.21 source with the extra drivers included from here: http://github.com/bootc/linux/tree/rpi-3.2.21 - It should be easy enough to create a Patch file from that Git repository and apply it to our standard 3.2.21 source tarball - While some of the documentation suggests it is possible to load a separate initramfs file I have not been able to get this to work yet. Instead it is possible to embed the initramfs (uncompressed initrd.lrp) file into the kernel image and that works fine. - I will try a few more variations before I give up on this. I will give some thought as to the best approach to solve these and other issues. If anybody else has their own Raspberry Pi I can make the images available. I will also be adding the toolchain and kernel & uClibc config to Git so others can build their own kernel and packages. david ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
