Hi,
I have a couple of ARM devices that I bought quite a while back and want to put them into use. I am not sure if this is the best linaro list but I could not see another that seemed appropriate.
I have a Utilite Version 1 device and a IFC6410 device that I want to get working with Linaro.
I am a C/C++/x86 programmer.
Also I am familiar with the Linux Kernel from 2.4/6 days, and have run personal Fedora servers for over 7 years. Now I want to replace my HP DL 140 G3's with the ARM based servers.
I built a Kali release for the Utilite some time ago which was quite straight forward and then tried unsuccessfully to backport it to Debian.
So what I want to know is two things basically
a) can Linaro run on the Utilite Version 1, is the uBoot stuffdifferent from the version 2 and is there kernel support for the version 1
Linaro is not a distro ;-) Although it does put out quite a lot of images. Did you have a particular one in mind?
Here is a page on installing Debian which may be helpful (I know nothing of the Utilite) https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/CompuLab/PC-Utilite/wheezy
It may well have got rather easier since that was written. Other imx6 boards are somewhat supported in jessie, although most seem to need a custom kernel: https://boundarydevices.com/debian-installer-on-i-mx6/
b) It there an easy HOWTO to put the distro together onto anuSDCard for the Utilite
c) It there an easy HOWTO to put the distro together onto anuSDCard for the IFC6410
Hope you can point me in the right direction.
The above links may help.
Wookey
