newsaarch64 packages imported into woofQ from OE
I have compiled a heap of packages in oe-qky-src, my port of
OpenEmbedded, cross-compiled on a x86_64 host PC, for a aarch64 target.
These packages have been imported into woofQ, and uploaded. Here they are:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/easyos/aarch64/packages/compat/oe/
What I would like to do is boot a aarch64 Easy/Quirky distro on my
RPi3. Want to get it going quickly, and the easiest way will be to use
the Bamarni Pi64 Debian-based aarch64 distro:
https://github.com/bamarni/pi64/
...that is for the RPi3 B-model, which is what I have. There is a
later B+ model, which the Bamarni Pi64 currently doesn't work on, but
another chap has a fork of Bamarni Pi64 that does:
https://github.com/Crazyhead90/pi64/tree/linux-4.14-pi-3b-+
It should be possible to replace the Bamarni Pi64 files on the
SD-card with the Quirky build. My build doesn't have any hardware
acceleration, just the framebuffer driver, software-rasterized openGL,
etc., but it will get me going.
Will post a progress report soon!
EDIT 20180725
Yay, got a desktop at second bootup. Needed a little fix, wasn't loading
the Xorg fbdev driver. Lovely, sound works on my TV (using HDMI input),
So far, just one problem, the QuickSetup window renders with
everything upside-down. That is, the "OK" button is at the top of the
window. It is still usable. I do recall this problem from ages ago, but
not the solution. QuickSetup uses gtkdialog for the GUI rendering.
