ARM64 – Pi3 Success – Almost..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on April 26, 2016 by RGApril 26, 2016

After more ‘investigation’, I managed to find a working U-Boot for a 64-bit boot of the Raspberry Pi 3, by copying it from the boot directory of this: http://www.tom-yam.or.jp/rpi3/rpi3-arm64-debian-20160414.img.xz found towards the end of the latest 64-bit thread on the Pi Forum: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=137963&sid=cd15abd8d4dd2a2d5c517f47a3e4f5e4&start=125 .  Thanks to xyinao for putting it all together.. I copied the kernel Image … Continue reading →

ARM64 – Pi3 64-Bit Tribulations.. Too Soon for Stability..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on April 15, 2016 by RGApril 15, 2016

I had ordered a Raspberry Pi 3 back in March in the hope that it would be a useful exercise in 64-bit on a different chipset..    I was (somewhat) disappointed to find that there was no initial 64-bit support, and indeed that I had been a bit of a pioneer in even running armv7 code on my … Continue reading →

VMware Workstation 9.0 – Initial Tests.. and a Fix for Kernel 3.5.2..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on August 24, 2012 by RGAugust 24, 2012

Just completed some basic tests with the new VMware Workstation 9.0 on my ‘test’ system (x86_64, Fedora 17)… Initial results.. Compiles and runs OK on kernel 3.4.9. Compiles OK, but causes general protection fault (with tombstone..) on kernel 3.5.2.   (scroll down for the fix..) ……………………. /dev/vmnet: port on hub 8 successfully opened /dev/vmnet: open called by PID … Continue reading →

APC – The Saga Continues….

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on August 12, 2012 by RGAugust 12, 2012

On the hunch that there may be something within the U-Boot parameters that causes the boot-to-ram problem, I removed almost all the ‘wmt.xxx‘ parameters.   The only one remaining was wmt.usb.param=11:3, which enables the USB subsystem – as I was booting from a USB-attached ‘disk’.. You can effectively ‘remove’ U-Boot parameters by setting their values to <blank>: setenv … Continue reading →

Pi Performance?

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on April 19, 2012 by RGApril 19, 2012

I had intended to persevere with the Fedora 14 ‘respin’, despite it being (correctly, IMHO..) described as ‘a bit buggy’..     Performance was improved with the newer 3.1.9+ kernel image, without the debug messages, but overall the response was still very sluggish..    I selected XFCE as the UI, as I had used this – successfully – with Fedora … Continue reading →
