Someone else on ARM?

Hello

I have installed opensuse on my rockchip rk3566 from november 2024 because It was the first distro to release LXQT 2.1 (wayland) and also I was playing with the u-boot efi capabilities. I am surprised that opensuse works very well on ARM and that this hardware is supported fastly.

I don’t see however any thread about ARM and this distro is not well known in the sbc world.

I am alone or just works perfect :laughing:?

I guess I have to hold up my hand. …but still trying to get hardware acceleration working. Not giving up yet, though. Updated 2000+ packages tonight.

Still there?

You should use u-boot as bootloader and not edk2. You have a working one in this repo:

I’ll give it a go sometimes during the weekend. Thanks!

I´m afraid that you cannot use the uboot from my link untill 2025-01 or -04. I thought rk3588 was already with hdmi.

Then I’ll try it later then. :slight_smile:

Are the two of us the only ones using Tumbleweed on ARM?

@hukka I have ARM aarch64 RPi3’s (Leap and SLES) and RISC-V (Tumbleweed) hardware… just not that specific chip…

I was just curious. There’s a lot of ARM hardware out there so having just two people in this thread surprised me a bit.

Today I have been able to see that opensuse is used in the info panel of my bus (while it was rebooting).

:smile:

Why? This is a technical help forum. As long as all the openSUSE on ARM users don’t have problems, they won’t come here I assume.
Also, many problems are just software ones in desktop and other applications and hardware agnostic.

I’ve been thinking about your comment for a few days. If the software was stable then I would understand your question, but at this time everything related to Tumbleweed on ARM is either on the todo-list or still very new. That made me assume more people would be here looking for information that would help them navigate the frontier.
