TC scripts also updated to latest common base. Except ncurses which doesn't build properly all packages in the repo updated and rebuilt using the new toolchain, not just copied over from 6.x/7.x repos. Dependencies revised, may be different to previous versions. It means limited number of packages in the repo, e.g. Xorg and graphical stuff are missing.

Only one SD card image available, it works on all RPi boards. Download location:

Please try it and share your experience, bugs found, etc.

Bela,

I did not try this yet with this beta that you just posted,  I was typing this as you locked the other thread......

I was testing the userspace binaries after I packed them.   I wanted to play with loading and removing overlays after boot.

Code: [Select]

tc@piCorePlayer:/mnt/mmcblk0p1/overlays$ sudo dtoverlay -a -v -d /mnt/mmcblk0p1/overlays
run_cmd: mount -t configfs none '/config/device-tree'
mount: mount point /config/device-tree does not exist
* Failed to mount configfs - 2
tc@piCorePlayer:/mnt/mmcblk0p1/overlays$ sudo mkdir /config/device-tree
tc@piCorePlayer:/mnt/mmcblk0p1/overlays$ sudo dtoverlay -a -v -d /mnt/mmcblk0p1/overlays
* configfs overlays folder not found - incompatible kernel

found very little with a quick google search....but found references to mounting the configfs manually

Code: [Select]

sudo mount -t configfs none /sys/kernel/config
sudo dtoverlay -a -d /mnt/mmcblk0p1/overlays
<list of all overlays is printed>

dtoverlay now runs, but does not show any overlays loaded. 

[bmarkus]

Try beta5 and the current VC set.

[Paul_123]

Try beta5 and the current VC set.

I pulled the vc tonight to pack, so it should line up with the kernel you pulled.   So I'll give it a test tomorrow. 

The other vc binaries I tested worked fine.

[Paul_123]

same result...but I did some reading on the rpi web site, and seems that while the utilities may exist, it may be premature to be doing that.

Aim is to check if docker can be installed  on piCore-8.0beta5,   [ https://github.com/umiddelb/armhf/wiki/Get-Docker-up-and-running-on-the-RaspberryPi-(ARMv6)-in-four-steps-(Wheezy) ..

"short write", you ran out of space.

[bmarkus]

Did you expand the mmcblk0p2 partition as decribed in README?

[geev03]

No, I didn't 

Now after doing that part of the problem is gone..
