| flexiondotorg_ | Hi. I'm the project lead for Ubuntu MATE. | 16:31 |
|---|---|---|
| flexiondotorg_ | An Ubuntu MATE community member has created a Raspberry Pi 2 port of Ubuntu MATE 15.04 | 16:32 |
| flexiondotorg_ | I'd like to discuss how we might be able to make that official image to sit along side our i386, amd64 and powerpc versions. | 16:32 |
| flexiondotorg_ | Anyone here who can help with that? | 16:32 |
| rbasak | flexiondotorg_: oh - #ubuntu-devel or #ubuntu-release might be a better place for that question. It doesn't really need any ARM specialism - just in image publication etc. | 16:46 |
| ogra_ | flexiondotorg_, first of all you will eed to get the bootloader packaged and into the archive ... | 16:55 |
| ogra_ | then you want to make sure our kernel works with the HW | 16:55 |
| flexiondotorg_ | ogra_, Thanks. Is that not the case considering the Snappy Core version? | 16:56 |
| flexiondotorg_ | If not, we know what is required for the Pi 2. | 16:56 |
| ogra_ | no, snappy is completely different | 16:56 |
| ogra_ | we dont have an official image for the RPi | 16:56 |
| === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk | ||
| ogra_ | snappy is designed in a way that you keep the HW bits separate from the rest of the system | 16:57 |
| ogra_ | which is why there is a device tarball for RPi around that you can combine with the generic bits using the ubuntu-device-flash tool | 16:57 |
| ogra_ | (i.e. we dont ship anything HW related in the snappy image) | 16:59 |
| flexiondotorg_ | ogra_, Understood. So, to recap. | 17:01 |
| flexiondotorg_ | 1. Package RPi2 boot loader in the official archive. | 17:01 |
| flexiondotorg_ | 2. Make sure the default kernel works, if not work with the kernel team to get the required changes made. | 17:01 |
| ogra_ | 2 might be just a devicetree file | 17:01 |
| ogra_ | if all Pi2 bits are mainline already at least | 17:02 |
| flexiondotorg_ | 3. Update ubuntu-cdimage to enable armhf for Ubuntu MATE. | 17:02 |
| ogra_ | if i was you i wouldnt build such an image but instead produce a preinstalled rootfs tarball in cdimage | 17:02 |
| flexiondotorg_ | ogra_, Thanks. That is a useful starting point. | 17:02 |
| ogra_ | and putr instructions up how to assemble a RPi install from that | 17:02 |
| flexiondotorg_ | ogra_, Good idea. | 17:03 |
| ogra_ | so people can use their own kernel/bootloader setup | 17:03 |
| ogra_ | arm people are usually knowledgeable enough to handle such things :) | 17:03 |
| flexiondotorg_ | ogra_, That is a really good idea. Because we want to target ODROID C1 too. | 17:03 |
| flexiondotorg_ | Thanks for the help. | 17:04 |
| ogra_ | http://people.canonical.com/~ogra/snappy/ btw ;) | 17:04 |
| flexiondotorg_ | ogra_, Thanks. | 17:05 |
| ogra_ | yeah, wont help you much i fear, but you could pick kernel and bootloader bits out of that tarball if needed | 17:05 |
| flexiondotorg_ | ogra_, Everything is useful right now. | 17:07 |
| ogra_ | i can imagine :) | 17:08 |
