Good job tman
In this post . . .

I read . . .
This explains why Marks Arch image did not work on actual hardware.
Barry also is talking about a dual partition on the SD card needed for the Mele

This means with an ARM device we can use an open source bios equivalent?

Light goes on in the 100 000 neurons Lobster pretends is his brain . . .The firmware is the code that starts up the device, and is loaded on to the GPU to make it work. It then hands control to the OS. A bit like the BIOS on a desktop.

Lobster,
Thanks for the info. I was playing around with the Arch image, which I am uploading now.
It is still very barebones, but it does have Rox, Jwm and a few apps.
Lobster, if you have time can you see if it works on your Raspberry Pi?
To extract: tar xvfJ archRpi.tar.xz - ( capital "J" )
To copy to SD disk: dd if=archRpi.img of=/dev/sdX - replace "X" with the letter of your SD drive
I realized that you don't need to reboot to see the new image on the SD card, after you use "dd".
You just need to unplug it and replug it back in.
The Arch image will be ready for download in about 1 hour from now...it's still uploading.

Yes, sorry. The file I uploaded was just an image of the second partition. I have a 2gb SD card which is the arch fat partition with my set-up on the second. I am going to try to make an image of the whole thing. It might be quicker to post you the card, Lobster!

Many thanks.Lobster, if you have time can you see if it works on your Raspberry Pi?
Partial success.
The image was getting past the power on LED on the Raspberry Pi - in other words it was booting . . .
but no display was getting through to my HDMI TV, it was not connecting.
The Arch image should be displaying the boot up sequence on the TV, this was not happening.
Look forward to trying it.I am going to try to make an image of the whole thing
So . . . you guys are creating an image that works on VGA but the actual hardware requires HDMI output

That's an interesting point, Lobster, I hadn't thought of that! I don't know if there is any way to do that under qemu?? My video card has an HDMI out ... I wonder ...Lobster wrote: So . . . you guys are creating an image that works on VGA but the actual hardware requires HDMI output
Anyway ... I have set up a swap partition for my qemu pi to use, so that may speed up the compiling side of things.
Here's an archive with the ARM leafpad

Let me know if you get anywhere with this.Tman wrote: Unfortunately, my monitor only supports VGA and DVI connections.
I will look into the QEMU settings and see if it can emulate a HDMI connection.
In the mean-time, I have compiled a couple more things.

Sure thing, you might want to PM Barry to let him know that you've compiled some apps for Arm, or maybe just create a reply in his blog.antiloquax wrote: Let me know if you get anywhere with this.

The thing is; he's compiling his apps in Ubuntu Lucid Lynx, and you're compiling in Arch, so I hope there are no compatability conflicts.

The Woof2 system only supports the Mele ARM device at present, so it is not yet applicable to Puppi.Hi Lobster,
I have tried using woof before and got very confused.
Barry has updated the instructions

This is 01micko's tutorial:

I haven't done much RPi related stuff this week. For one thing, I've had problems with my internet at home (we live in a rural spot and I think we are connected to the web by a bit of wet string ).
Also, I haven't managed to get the gtk+ development libraries etc installed in Arch that allow me to compile some more of the GTK based programs. I need to spend a bit more time finding out exactly what I need (Arch doesn't have "dev" packages in the way that other distros do ...).
I have managed to compile Vim - my editor of choice!
I've spent quite a lot of time trying to do some basic assembly code in qemu. So far I've had nothing but errors from "as". At some point I am going to have to post up what happens on the RPi forum and get some help. But I might also try compiling a C program and saving the output assembly code - that might shed some light on what I am doing wrong.
I have been able to order a Pi this week, but I still might have a 3 week wait, apparently.
Anyway, I am posting a picture of my build of Leafpad running on my qemu -Pi ...

After a lot of false starts, I've had a bit of success with an assembly program. It's just a little "hello world" type thing. But I think I now understand a little better what some of the parts of the code do.
Anyway, I'll post up a couple of pics.
I'm really impressed that you can do this in a qemu emulation. It's re-assuring ...

Hi Guys, Fellow Raspberrians,
Tried QtonPi
http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads
Not my basket case (punnet) of fruitiness but some might find it qt [cute]
I tried combining the boot files from QtonPi to the img file created on Qemu by antiloquax. Need more knowledge and info on this boot procedure. It could be quite fiddly.
This is what I need compiled on Qemu, if anyone is up for it.

OK gonna put Arch back on my one reliable SD card. Then I can be sure that vala works - antiloquax again - many thanks.
Here is an interlude:
What is a variable? In programming we learn the concept early. When dealing with new hardware, a newish changing programming language, one variable is required. A better brain. I am trading mine in for a sieve.
Another thing to get ready is a case for your pi . . . mine is still cluttering up the TV room.

Nice Puppy

I'll have a look at gtkdialog.
My RPi has been dispatched! I hope it arrives today.

Don't bite the messenger. The tendency to bite the postman if he does not deliver is overwhelming. OK time to boot up into Rpi but it ain't . . . you will have one soon enough . . .antiloquax wrote:I hope it arrives today.
Do post a pic or record your reaction. I was quite blasé and then I had the wrong power cable and it would not boot . . . but when it worked I went into geek dance mode (not a pretty sight).
Good luck. Keep us posted!

Fingers crossed it'll be waiting for me when I get home from work!
I'm quite pleased today because the deputy Principal has told me they want me to teach some GCSE computer studies next year (I am an English teacher by trade). I'm also hoping the Principal will be getting a suite of RPis set up (I had a meeting with him a couple of weeks ago).

Raw JWM running on genuine Raspberry Pi hardware
The procedure:
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/PuppiArch
The good news (OK it is a dummy configuration nothing working yet)
is it is FAST.
The next step is to populate it a little with progs and such . . .
Puppy Linux
Because we can!
