Raspberry pi 4b - systematic installation procedure
« on: January 15, 2022, 11:11:42 AM »
Hi,
I am an absolute newbie to Tinycorelinux and downloaded the latest release at http://tinycorelinux.net/13.x/armv6/releases/RPi/piCore-13.1.0.zip. As the things stand, after flashing the img file to the usb I can boot up the Raspberry Pi 4b 8GB quite well.

However, here onward I find it quite difficult to get any step further since I am not able to find any systematic guideline(s) for the installation on a Raspberry Pi on the Internet.

Could someone please let me know where to find this information? Thanks a lot!

Greetings,
MA

Hi, Maniaak.

Welcome to our forum.

Since you're using Raspberry Pi 4b 8GB, I suggest you remake your SD card with a 64-bit OS.
http://tinycorelinux.net/13.x/aarch64/releases/RPi/piCore64-13.1.zip

Make sure you read the instructions for more details.
http://tinycorelinux.net/13.x/aarch64/releases/RPi/README

As a beginner, you could try the default desktop, after you resize your partition.

Hello TinyCoreTeam,
this ist just the hurdle I succeeded to overcome.
After downloading  piCore-13.1.0.zip  I could write it with balena-etcher to a 32 GB mmc using a laptop with LinuxMint.

This mmc boots fine in a Raspi 4, but to increase mmcblk0p2/ to full size of the chip I had to fall back to my laptop,- it works. 

With  tce-load -wi  I first loaded nano.tcz which is apparently the only prog that works without GUI. Sometimes this is useful.

Again with tce-load -wi I added Xorg, jwm, wbar, alsa, alsa-utils, alsa-plugins, pulseaudio, pcmanfm, firefox, all working fine.

I also installed kmaps.tcz and added   loadkmap < /usr/share/kmap/qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys.kmap  to  /opt./bootlocal.sh  but no effect.

What am I missing? Thanks for your friendly help!

Found the solution:  it's  Xorg

http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,24864.msg158323.html#msg158323

I've been running into this problem about one year before, and had received a solution by your friendly colleages, that is applicable also here.

Thanks very much!

Hi chattrhand
If you are using the  loadkmap < /usr/share/kmap/ ...   command, it belongs in  bootsync.sh , not  bootlocal.sh.

On the subject of kmaps:
kmaps only affects the console and Xvesa, not Xorg.
