piCore-6.1alpha2 for RPi2

(1/4) > >>

Hi,

please find the first test release for Raspberry Pi 2 at:

http://www.tinycorelinux.net/6.x/armv7/test_releases/RPi2/

Functionally it is the same as the armv6 release. Kernel module TCZ's are not yet in the repo, use the module archive.

jgrulich:
Sorry, may be that I don't understand well the process.
Is there some simple and tricky way how to use only the selected modules and firmwares to be loaded with the kernel?
In the archive provided are modules in extracted format .ko and need to be gzipped firs into the .ko.gz to be loaded into the lib directory.

bmarkus:
There are no tricks. Just extract the module you need and copy to /usr/local/lib/modules/....

Check dependencies with modinfo and copy depending modules tool. You can gzip but it is not a must have, you can keep as it is. Add to your backup or create a private tcz similar to kernal mosule tcz's in the repo. After reboot it will be available.

Firstly thank you for everything which has gone into making Tiny Core.

When using this img on a RPI2 when it has booted if I got to "Apps" and select fastest mirror I get

"Couldn't load mirror list.  Maybe network issue"

I have attempted to use the device on two different networks, work and home but get the same error.  From the terminal if I do an ifconfig it displays my network address OK on eth0.  Using a Raspbian image gives me network access.

Appreciate this is an alpha build, but curious if this is down to that, or specifically myself.

Thanks in advance

First check network before going to Apps. After boot, is network up? Can you ping a host, like google.com? Is system time updated from the network?
