Towards Core (microcore) on Raspberry Pi

<< < (5/18) > >>

bmarkus:
Found the problem. I'm using kernel 3.1.9+ with QEMU while rpiCore-20120907.img comes with 3.2.27+ modules therefore loop module is not loaded.

QEMU requries a specially compiled Raspbian kernel what I haven't found yet.

bmarkus:
Found 3.2.27 QEMU kernel only :(

bmarkus:
No loop module in QEMU kernels  >:(

roberts:
Knowing that it is a huge task of compiling and building extensions,
I have purposely made raspbianCore library compatible with Raspbian.

To that end I have been working on and testing dynamically creating
tczs directly from Raspbian repositories. If this is successful then
it will greatly lessen the need to build/compile hundreds of extensions.
So far initial tests look promising, example: Links browser and its dependencies.
Auto created by entering only links.

My goal is to easily and transparently gain access to the 40,000 debs
which the user can select. They, of course, become tczs and thus gain
the Core advantage of pristine boot, onboot, and ondemand features.
Our ibibio arm tcz repository might then host only custom extensions not
available in the Raspbian repositories.

So I would hold off building extensions until I accomplish a first
milestone of this tool. Then evaluate its performance and capabilities.

Of course, I am not going to abandon the community built extensions.
The support code for such will remain intact.
The new tool will be just another option.

hi roberts,

that's such a fascinating idea, such a overwhelming concept:
the beauty of the lean and clean tinycore combined with the vast amount of debian packages.
it's unbelievable...
i love to use my lean every-day-tools on my tiny core sticks
and i admire and enjoy the possibilities in the debian world
(from embedded routers over all kind of desktop machines up and down to tiny or mighty servers...)
... great prospect for us all.

keep on going, thank you.
